Sorelle separate da centinaia di anni. Voci che non possono essere soffocate. 2019. Nel cuore della notte Lucy si sveglia di soprassalto; si trova nella stanza del suo ex ragazzo, a cavalcioni su di lui, con le mani strette attorno alla sua gola. Cosa ci fa lì? Confusa e terrorizzata, cerca rifugio dalla sorella Jess, sperando che possa aiutarla a capire il sogno che da qualche tempo popola le sue notti: la scena vivida e inquietante di due sorelle che stanno naufragando. 1800. Le sorelle Mary ed Eliza vengono strappate al loro amato padre in Irlanda e costrette a imbarcarsi su una nave diretta in Australia. Mentre vengono trasportate sempre più lontano da tutto ciò che amano e conoscono, iniziano a notare nei loro corpi degli strani cambiamenti che non riescono a spiegarsi. 2019. Giunta a casa di Jess, Lucy non trova alcuna traccia di lei. Mentre attende il suo ritorno, inizia a sentire strane storie sulla cittadina di mare dove la sorella si è da poco trasferita: racconti di uomini scomparsi, rapiti dagli abissi; sussurri di voci femminili che serpeggiano tra le onde. Nel frattempo, quello strano sogno inizia a sembrare più reale che mai. Sirene è l’appassionante storia di quattro donne separate dal tempo eppure legate più di quanto si possa immaginare. Un nuovo imperdibile romanzo sulla resilienza femminile, che racchiude tutto il potere della sorellanza e l’ineffabile magia del mare. «E poi il mare, vivido e irreale come in un dipinto. Lucy non ha mai visto così tante sfumature di azzurro: turchese brillante nel punto in cui le onde s’infrangono; più in là un blu così scuro che è quasi nero. Lucy rabbrividisce, pensando al mondo sotto le onde scintillanti»

Robert A. Heinlein, the dean of American SF writers, also wrote fantasy fiction throughout his long career, but especially in the early 1940s. The Golden Age of SF was also a time of revolution in fantasy fiction, and Heinlein was at the forefront. His fantasies were convincingly set in the real world, particularly those published in the famous magazine Unknown Worlds, including such stories as "Magic, Inc.," "'They,'" and "The Unpleasant Profession of Jonathan Hoag." Now all of Heinlein's best fantasy short stories, most of them long novellas, have been collected in one big volume for the first time. Contents: Magic, Inc. "And He Built a Crooked House" "They" Waldo The Unpleasant Profession of Jonathan Hoag Our Fair City The Man who Traveled in Elephants "All You Zombies"

魔王を倒してくれる勇者を求め、わたしは何度も世界をやり直していた ――世界編纂――死の原因である魔王を打倒するまで世界はわたしを特定の時間まで自動的に巻き戻す。幾度となく繰り返され精神的に疲弊する中、ある男に興味を抱いたわたしは彼を勇者に認定し行動を共にする。

Todos os amigos de Tarso tem algo em comum: brigaram com ele um porrilho de vezes. Azar de quem estava brigado com ele quando morreu: nunca mais, disso o corvo, poder fazer as pazes. Aconteceu com dois ou trs. Eu, por exemplo, briguei feio com o cara. E Tarso, quando estava brigado com algum, o mnimo que fazia era dar chutes abaixo da cintura, e nem sempre metaforicamente. Tive direito, por causa da nossa desavena a um anncio de falecimento na Folha de S. Paulo. Causa mortis: fui atropelado pelo meu mau carter, dizia o texto. Era desleal, injusto e implacvel com seus desafetos. Para os meus amigos tudo, pro meus inimigos nem justia!, era um dos seus bordes. Mas toda essa agressividade era s para mascarar que no fundo o rapaz era uma moa, super afetuoso e generoso com os amigos e as mulheres. Era um extremado em tudo: era capaz de virar a noite na redao, mas tambm de sumir num dia de fechamento do jornal. Nunca vi uma resistncia igual. Saa de uma CTI, passava algum tempo se segurando; depois tomava umas e outras e ia parar de novo no CTI, para recomear tudo de novo. Um dia desses nos encontramos na ponte area e no deu outra. Fomos fazer hora no bar. Um guaran, pedi ao garom perplexo, que j me conhecia Meu sacrifcio foi intil. Um usque duplo, comandou Tarso. Cow-boy. E emborcou. Cara duro tava ali. Agora deve estar tomando seu usque coow-boy com Vincius l em cima. Guarda para mim um lugar na sua mesa, Tarso.

This was an early novel about computer terrorism by hackers, though the term "hackers" was not yet in use. Veterans of Vietnam, one of them the son of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, cooperate in a plot to steal defense secrets and sell them to a foreign power.

EDITORIAL REVIEW: *He was a riot of rockets and fountains and people, in such intricate detail and color that you could bear the voiced murmuring, small and muted, from the crowds that inhabited his body.* **The Illustrated Man** Ray Bradbury brings wonders alive. A peerless American storyteller, his oeuvre has been celebrated for decades--from *The Martian Chronicles* and *Fahrenheit 451* to *Dandelion Wine* and *Something Wicked This Way Comes. * The Illustrated Man is classic Bradbury --a collection of tales that breathe and move, animated by sharp, intaken breath and flexing muscle. Here are eighteen startling visions of humankind's destiny, unfolding across a canvas of decorated skin--visions as keen as the tattooist's needle and as colorful as the inks that indelibly stain the body. The images, ideas, sounds and scents that abound in this phantasmagoric sideshow are provocative and powerful: the mournful cries of celestial travelers cast out cruelly into a vast, empty space of stars and blackness ... the sight of gray dust settling over a forgotten outpost on a road that leads nowhere ... the pungent odor of Jupiter on a returning father's clothing. Here living cities take their vengeance, technology awakens the most primal natural instincts, Martian invasions are foiled by the good life and the glad hand, and dreams are carried aloft in junkyard rockets. Ray Bradbury's *The Illustrated Man* is a kaleidoscopic blending of magic, imagination, and truth, widely believed to be one of the Grandmaster's premier accomplishments: as exhilarating as interplanetary travel, as maddening as a walk in a million-year rain, and as comforting as simple, familiar rituals on the last night of the world.

Game theory has become increasingly popular among undergraduate as well as business school students. This text is the first to provide both a complete theoretical treatment of the subject and a variety of real-world applications, primarily in economics, but also in business, political science, and the law. __Strategies and Games__ grew out of Prajit Dutta's experience teaching a course in game theory over the last six years at Columbia University.The book is divided into three parts: Strategic Form Games and Their Applications, Extensive Form Games and Their Applications, and Asymmetric Information Games and Their Applications. The theoretical topics include dominance solutions, Nash equilibrium, backward induction, subgame perfect equilibrium, repeated games, dynamic games, Bayes-Nash equilibrium, mechanism design, auction theory, and signaling. An appendix presents a thorough discussion of single-agent decision theory, as well as the optimization and probability theory required for the course.Every chapter that introduces a new theoretical concept opens with examples and ends with a case study. Case studies include Global Warming and the Internet, Poison Pills, Treasury Bill Auctions, and Final Jeopardy. Each part of the book also contains several chapter-length applications including Bankruptcy Law, the NASDAQ market, OPEC, and the Commons problem. This is also the first text to provide a detailed analysis of dynamic strategic interaction.

There's no denying that the opening is one of the most daunting phases of the game for newcomers to chess. There are literally hundreds of different opening lines, many with unusual sounding names, and some of these go up to twenty or so moves of theory. What is a chess player supposed to do: memorise countless variations? Don't panic! In Discovering Chess Openings John Emms argues that studying openings doesn't have to be hard work at all - indeed, it can be both enjoyable and enlightening. The key to successful opening play is not simply learning lines off by heart; instead it's the understanding of the basic principles, and here the reader is guided through the vital themes: swift development, central control and king safety. An appreciation of these principles and their many offshoots will actually allow readers to recreate and discover opening theory, giving them the opportunity to choose the most suitable lines to play in their games.

One of the best-selling guides to macroeconomic theory on the market now offers expanded coverage of growth and full coverage of the "New Macroeconomics" in this new edition.

What this book is all about The Ultimate Comprehensive Bible Timeline charts the years from Adam to Jesus, providing a precise timeline of people and events that can be used by Bible students, teachers and scholars. The book includes seven horizontal timelines and 40 charts to graphically illustrate significant chronological issues. Additionally, a year-by-year timetable from 1949 BC to 70 AD is provided so that the precise counting of the years can be visually verified. The timelines, charts and timetables graphically show how all significant people and events fit together. The book also provides all the references and explanations for charting only 4,000 years from Adam to 70 AD. It clarifies the most troubling chronological passages, providing readers all the needed information to arrive at their own conclusions. In addition, The Ultimate Comprehensive Bible Timeline explains confusing subjects, including: the Creation and Religious calendars, Noah's Flood year, the Sabbath year and Year of Jubilee, the holy days and feasts, the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the approximate date for Job, the meaning of Ezekiel's 430 years of sin, the complexities related to the genealogy from Noah to Abraham, and the difficulties in correctly charting the judges, Eli and Samuel and the kings. Furthermore, The Ultimate Comprehensive Bible Timeline reviews in detail the four most commonly promoted chronologies, explaining how each evolved and the differences between them. These chronologies are (1) the traditional one produced by Archbishop James Usher in the 1600s, (2) the currently most accepted evangelical timeline produced by Dr. John Whitcomb in the 1960s, (3) the current secular timeline as it relates to the Bible, and (4) the official Jewish timeline. Prophetically, The Ultimate Comprehensive Bible Timeline affirms that the 1-day 1,000-year, 6-day 6,000-year pattern is prophetically meaningful, and includes a chronological outline of the book of Revelation. Ultimately, The Ultimate Comprehensive Bible Timeline provides an accurate, Bible-based chronology of world history as one part of an overall Christian worldview in order to strengthen believers and act as a witness to non-believers.

Recueil de quelque quarante contes et légendes du Québec: des contes amérindiens mais aussi, selon l'éditeure, des histoires traitant de débrouillardise, qui ne sombrent pas dans la religieusité et qui se distancent le plus de leur pendant européen. Quelques contes nouveaux aussi, des récits de Félix Leclerc, de Gilles Vigneault et autres auteurs contemporains. Comme tous les ouvrages de cette collection, les textes sont classés par thèmes. Chaque texte est précédé d'informations pratiques symbolisées par un dessin: âge, durée, lieux, personnages principaux. Présentation un peu austère, mais la lisibilité est très bonne. [SDM]

A metaphorical fugue on minds and machines in the spirit of Lewis Carroll. This groundbreaking Pulitzer Prize-winning book sets the standard for interdisciplinary writing, exploring the patterns and symbols in the thinking of mathematician Kurt Godel, artist M.C. Escher, and composer Johann Sebastian Bach. By exploring common themes in the lives and works of logician Kurt Gödel, artist M. C. Escher, and composer Johann Sebastian Bach, the book expounds on concepts fundamental to mathematics, symmetry, and intelligence. Through illustration and analysis, the book discusses how, through self-reference and formal rules, systems can acquire meaning despite being made of "meaningless" elements. It also discusses what it means to communicate, how knowledge can be represented and stored, the methods and limitations of symbolic representation, and even the fundamental notion of "meaning" itself.Douglas R. Hofstadter is College of Arts and Sciences Professor of computer science and cognitive science at Indiana University and author of the Pulitzer-prize winning "Godel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid".

This fourth edition contains several additions. The main ones con cern three closely related topics: Brownian motion, functional limit distributions, and random walks. Besides the power and ingenuity of their methods and the depth and beauty of their results, their importance is fast growing in Analysis as well as in theoretical and applied Proba bility. These additions increased the book to an unwieldy size and it had to be split into two volumes. About half of the first volume is devoted to an elementary introduc tion, then to mathematical foundations and basic probability concepts and tools. The second half is devoted to a detailed study of Independ ence which played and continues to playa central role both by itself and as a catalyst. The main additions consist of a section on convergence of probabilities on metric spaces and a chapter whose first section on domains of attrac tion completes the study of the Central limit problem, while the second one is devoted to random walks. About a third of the second volume is devoted to conditioning and properties of sequences of various types of dependence. The other two thirds are devoted to random functions; the last Part on Elements of random analysis is more sophisticated. The main addition consists of a chapter on Brownian motion and limit distributions. Erscheinungsdatum: 22.06.2012

xiv, 274 pages : 22 cm, Sometime in the future the intelligence of machines will exceed that of human brain power. So are we on the edge of an AI-pocalypse, with super-intelligent devices superseding humanity, as predicted by Stephen Hawking? Or will this herald a kind of Utopia, with machines doing a far better job at complex tasks than us? You might not realise it, but you interact with AIs every day. They route your phone calls, approve your credit card transactions and help your doctor interpret results. Driverless cars will soon be on the roads with a decision-making computer in charge.

<p>‘Sometimes called coining, spooning or scraping, Gua sha is defined as instrument-assisted unidirectional press stroking of a lubricated area of the body surface that intentionally creates ‘transitory therapeutic petechiae’ representing extravasation of blood in the subcutis.’</p> <p>Gua sha has been used for centuries in Asia, in Asian immigrant communities and by acupuncturists and practitioners of traditional East Asian medicine worldwide. With the expansion of traditional East Asian medicine, Gua sha has been used over broad geographic areas and by millions of people. It is valuable in the treatment of pain and for functional problems with impaired movement, the prevention and treatment of acute infectious illness, upper respiratory and digestive problems, and many acute or chronic disorders. Research has demonstrated Gua sha radically increases surface microperfusion that stimulates immune and anti-inflammatory responses that persist for days after treatment.</p> <p>The second edition expands on the history of Gua sha and similar techniques used in early Western Medicine, detailing traditional theory, purpose and application and illuminated by science that focuses its relevance to modern clinical practice as well as scholarly inquiry. This book brings the technique alive for practitioners, with clear discussion of how to do it -including correct technique, appropriate application, individualization of treatment - and when to use it, with over 50 case examples, and superb color photographs and line drawings that demonstrate the technique.</p> <p>The book contains predominantly black-and-white illustrations, with some color illustrations. </p>

The author of Between Shades of Gray returns to WWII in this epic novel that shines a light on one of the war's most devastating—yet unknown—tragedies. In 1945, World War II is drawing to a close in East Prussia, and thousands of refugees are on a desperate trek toward freedom, almost all of them with something to hide. Among them are Joana, Emilia, and Florian, whose paths converge en route to the ship that promises salvation, the Wilhelm Gustloff. Forced by circumstance to unite, the three find their strength, courage, and trust in each other tested with each step closer toward safety. Just when it seems freedom is within their grasp, tragedy strikes. Not country, nor culture, nor status matter as all ten thousand people aboard must fight for the same thing: survival.Told in alternating points of view, and perfect for fans of Anthony Doerr's Pulitzer Prize-winning All the Light We Cannot See, Erik Larson's critically...

<p><P>&quot;Sound is more than simply a medium of artistic expression. Sound has practical and powerful applications in the real world.&quot;<P>Mantras, or simple chants, are short phrases packed with energy and intention&#151;specifically designed to generate powerful sound waves that promote healing, insight, creativity, and spiritual growth. Healing Mantras is the practical, how-to guide that makes the strengths and benefits of mantras available to everyone. The transformative power of sound has been passed down to the present from the sages of India, the classical scientists of ancient Greece, and the medieval monks of Europe. Mantras, sounds, and chants have inspired, comforted, and mended the lives of individuals, religious orders, and even entire cultures. Even though the science and discipline of chanting and formal prayer are practiced in every religion around the world, this is the first time that ancient Sanskrit mantras have been explained and adapted to Western needs.<P>One of the few Western experts in Hindu and Buddhist mantras, Thomas Ashley-Farrand has practiced mantra-based spiritual disciplines for twenty-five years. In this illuminating book, he explains how and why mantras work and shows how to use them for everything from controlling habits to overcoming fear, from curing specific ailments to finding inner peace. In each of the more than fifty mantras, all translated from the original Sanskrit, Ashley-Farrand unlocks the power of every word, explains its appropriate application, and tells you how to pronounce it in easy-to-follow phonetic symbols. Inside, you'll find mantras for<P>- Health - Worldly Success - Habit Control - Protection - Grief - Anger - Controlling Fear - Personal Attraction - Wisdom - Concentration and Mental Clarity - Healing Life Issues - and more!<P>These mantras can be repeated aloud or in silence and can be used by people of any religion or spiritual practice, &quot;as you wash dishes, as you drive on the freeway, as you meditate, or as you cook.&quot; Sound can help and sound can heal, and Healing Mantras now makes this sound medicine available to everyone.</p>

Over the course of ten sessions, which correspond to chapters of the book, a very depressed Toad learns how to analyse his own feelings and develop his emotional intelligence using the language and ideas of transactional analysis. He meets his 'rebellious child' and his 'adult' along the way and by the end of the book, Toad is setting out on a completely new adventure as debonair as he ever was. Readers will learn about the counselling process and themselves as they join Toad on his journey from psychological distress to psychological growth and development. A must-read for anyone approaching counselling for the first time, whether as a student or as a client, or for the professional counsellor looking for something to recommend to the hesitant.

QUESTO LIBRO SPIEGA COME: INDIVIDUARE LE 4 PERSONALITÀ PRINCIPALI: ROSSA, GIALLA, BLU E VERDE; COGLIERE I PUNTI DI FORZA E DI DEBOLEZZA DEI DIVERSI TIPI PSICOLOGICI; INTERPRETARE FACILMENTE IL LINGUAGGIO DEL CORPO; COMUNICARE EFFICACEMENTE ANCHE CON CHI «NON ASCOLTA». «Un saggio schematico e dettagliato, ricco di aneddoti e consigli, da regalare all’amico che inizia a lavorare con persone nuove o da sfogliare ogni volta che non riesci a interpretare chi ti sta vicino.» Donna Moderna «Ma possibile che nessuno mi capisca?» «Talvolta ho l’impressione di parlare con degli alieni!» «Mi sembra proprio che siano tutti cretini!» Se avete detto anche solo una di queste frasi, questo libro è per voi. Le informazioni ci travolgono e i messaggi diventano ambigui: nel nostro mondo, è sempre più difficile ascoltare e farsi ascoltare. Spesso, poi, si ha l’impressione di non essere compresi, di buttar via tempo ed energie. Grazie alla sua ventennale esperienza di formatore presso le aziende più prestigiose, Thomas Erikson ci rivela che il passo decisivo per una comunicazione immediata ed efficace è in realtà molto semplice: se si sa individuare la personalità dell’interlocutore, allora tutto diventa chiaro e diretto. A partire dai quattro tipi psicologici fondamentali: rosso (dominante e competitivo), blu (analitico e prudente), giallo (empatico e creativo) e verde (affidabile e paziente), Erikson ci insegna un metodo innovativo per «leggere i colori» degli altri, individuarne i punti di forza e di debolezza, evitare equivoci e perdite di tempo. Per essere più felici e rilassati in un mondo finalmente... libero dai cretini.

The Polgar Way to Better Chess! Learn Chess the Right Way is a five-volume chess puzzle book series aimed at the novice, beginner and intermediate level player, using the unique methods of the award-winning coach and former world champion Susan Polgar. It introduces the most important checkmate and material-winning tactics, as well as defensive techniques to the new chess player. Each of the five volumes will consist of 500 puzzles. In Book 1, the focus is on one-move checkmate exercises. In each of the first five chapters, a specific piece delivers checkmate (in Chapter 1: the queen, Chapter 2: the rook, and so on). In Chapters 6-8, checkmates which involve special tactics (such as pins, discovered attacks, etc.) are introduced. Chapter 9 has a mixed collection of puzzles, without any hint about which piece is to deliver checkmate. Chapter 10 builds on the previous 9 chapters, and introduces basic patterns of checkmate in two moves. With over 40 years of experience as a world-class player and coach, international grandmaster Susan Polgar has developed the most effective way to help young players and beginners Learn Chess the Right Way. Let her show you the way to understanding the most common and critical patterns and let her show you the way to becoming a better player. SUSAN POLGAR is a winner of four Women's World Championships and the top-ranked woman chess player in the United States. She became the #1 woman player in the world at 15 and remained in the top 3 for over 20 years. In 2013, she received the U.S. Coach of the Year Award and the following year, she was named the Chess Trainer of the Year by the International Chess Federation (FIDE). She thus became the first person in history to be accorded both honors. Under her guidance, SPICE chess teams at both Texas Tech University and Webster University have won a combined five consecutive National Division I Collegiate Chess Championships.

This book is an introduction to the theory and applications of "modern geometry" ~ roughly speaking, geometry that was developed after Euclid. It covers three major areas of non-Euclidean geometry and their applica tions: spherical geometry (used in navigation and astronomy), projective geometry (used in art), and spacetime geometry (used in the Special The ory of Relativity). In addition it treats some of the more useful topics from Euclidean geometry, focusing on the use of Euclidean motions, and includes a chapter on conics and the orbits of planets. My aim in writing this book was to balance theory with applications. It seems to me that students of geometry, especially prospective mathe matics teachers, need to be aware of how geometry is used as well as how it is derived. Every topic in the book is motivated by an application and many additional applications are given in the exercises. This emphasis on applications is responsible for a somewhat nontraditional choice of top ics: I left out hyperbolic geometry, a traditional topic with practically no applications that are intelligible to undergraduates, and replaced it with the spacetime geometry of Special Relativity, a thoroughly non-Euclidean geometry with striking implications for our own physical universe. The book contains enough material for a one semester course in geometry at the sophomore-to-senior level, as well as many exercises, mostly of a non routine nature (the instructor may want to supplement them with routine exercises of his/her own).

Informed by student data, Experience Psychology helps students understand and appreciate psychology as an integrated whole. The personalized, adaptive learning program, thought-provoking examples, and interactive assessments help students see psychology in the world around them and experience it in everyday life. Experience Psychology is about, well, experience―our own behaviors; our relationships at home and in our com munities, in school, and at work; and our interactions in different learning environments. Grounded in meaningful real-world contexts, Experience Psychology’s contemporary examples, personalized author notes, and applied exercises speak directly to students, allowing them to engage with psychology and to learn verbally, visually, and experientially―by reading, seeing, and doing. Function is introduced before dysfunction, building student understanding by looking first at typical, everyday behavior before delving into the less common―and likely less personally experienced―rare and abnormal behavior. Experience Psychology places the science of psychology, and the research that helps students see the academic foundations of the discipline, at the forefront of the course. With Experience Psychology , students do not just “take” psychology but actively experience it.

Augustine of Hippo is known for some of the greatest theological masterpieces in Christian history, notably, his Confessions, The Trinity, and The City of God. Over 900 of his sermons, a treasure trove of his insights into God, Scripture, and humanity, have also survived. Given the wide dissemination of many of these texts over the past 1600 years, Augustine is arguably the most influential preacher since the time of the apostles. In recent decades, scholars have paid more attention to his sermons, including those newly discovered, with the result that Augustine's preaching has become increasingly accessible to a broad audience. The Cambridge Companion to Augustine's Sermons furthers this work by offering essays from an international team of experts. It provides a reliable guide for scholars and students of early Christian biblical exegesis, liturgy, doctrine, social practices, and homiletics, as well as for those dedicated to the retrieval of early preaching for the Church today.

'This book offers a front row seat to history as it is being made' ANNE APPLEBAUM 'This is the Zelensky book we've been waiting for' CATHERINE BELTON 'An elegant account of the invasion's first year as seen by those in the very eye of the storm' DAILY TELEGRAPH TIMES: A BEST BOOK OF 2024 – NEXT YEAR'S TOP READS GUARDIAN: BOOKS TO LOOK OUT FOR IN 2024 INDEPENDENT: A BOOK OF THE MONTH WATERSTONES: JANUARY'S BEST BOOKS WRITTEN WITH UNPRECEDENTED ACCESS, THIS IS THE FIRST INSIDE, INTIMATE ACCOUNT OF THE RUSSIAN INVASION OF UKRAINE FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF PRESIDENT ZELENSKY AND HIS TEAM. Based on four years of reporting; extensive travels with President Zelensky to the front; and dozens of interviews with him, his wife, his friends and enemies, his advisers, ministers and military commanders, The Showman tells an intimate and eye-opening story of the President's evolution from a slapstick actor to a symbol of resilience, revealing how he managed to rally the world's democracies behind his cause. Clear-eyed about the President's early failures as a peacemaker and his willingness to silence political dissent, the book offers a complex picture of a man struggling to break what he sees as a historical cycle of oppression that began generations before he was born. Even as the war drags on, Zelensky lays out his vision for its future course and, through his actions, demonstrates his strategy for countering the Russians and keeping the West on his side. The result is a riveting, up-close picture of the invasion as experienced by its number one target and improbable hero. The Showman, as a work of eyewitness journalism, provides an essential perspective on the war defining our age. As a study in leadership and human resolve, its appeal is timeless and universal.

From Library JournalThe year is 1990, and the place Cleveland. Lenore Beadsman works as a telephone operator for Frequent and Vigorous Publishers. Her roommate's name is Candy Mandible, their parrot is Vlad the Impaler, there is a Judith Prietht, and businesses have names like Hunt and Peck. Lenore's great- grandmother and several cronies disappear from their nursing home, and the search for them leads across the Great Ohio Desert (G.O.D.). The novel is largely dialogue, much of it quite funny and perceptive. Obviously not aimed at the Danielle Steel or Robert Ludlum crowds, Wallace's book will appeal to people his age (mid-20s) and to older readers who enjoy trying the unfamiliar. Libraries serving such patrons should consider it. Mary K.
