Now It's Overhead

With its self-titled debut album, Now It's Overhead put to shame latter-day indie bands from a cross-section of genres--from emo to new wave and industrial--while still sounding remarkably original, coherent, and extremely listenable. Steeped in the relative eclecticism of '80s and '90s "alternative" music, the band uses its considerable skill to turn numerous great moments from that period into four-minute slabs of brilliant pop. Songs like "6th Grade Roller" suggests there's a Nitzer Ebb record somewhere in singer-songwriter Andy LeMaster's closet, while "Blackout Curtain," does Thompson Twins almost as well as they did themselves. Though a fuzzy curtain of distortion is a constant backdrop to NIO's sound, in front of it the group creates as affecting a song with mellow guitar and vocal harmonies as it does with dramatic electronic displays through "Goodbye Highway." The concluding "A Skeleton on Display," meanwhile, with an added string or woodwind part, could easily have come from the Delgados' gorgeous The Great Eastern. --Sarah A. Sternau

Mr. Blewitt's Nose

Kindergarten-Grade 2-In this dryly witty story, carrot-haired Primrose Pumpkin stumbles across a misplaced nose on a park bench. The helpful little girl, upon learning that it probably belongs to a Mr. Blewitt, begins a quest for the man with the missing sniffer. Primrose's "alarmingly" ("outstandingly," "sensationally," "eye-wateringly...") smelly dog, Dirk, mainly impedes her progress but then, in an unexpected and laughable way, brings the search to a successful conclusion. Deceptively simple acrylic paintings indicate that this is an author/artist who is expert at pleasing the eye as well as the ear.

The Fearless Executive

Drawing partly on the lessons of his own career path as a human resources executive turned management consultant, and partly on his experience counseling downsized employees, Downs sets out to show executives that they are often their own worst enemy. Many remain in jobs they dislike, relying on administrative and political skills that may be their weakest, thereby setting themselves up for failure. According to Downs, executives often operate based on the "trait of fear." Different from the terror of, say, walking down a dark alley, it's an ongoing concern about the future or anxiety over some imagined event: "you feel fear and avoid action altogether," Downs explains. He offers examples from corporate America (including the experiences of Lee Iacocca and Charles Wang) and some fairy tale anecdotes to show readers that they can break this fear cycle by "acknowledg[ing] and confront[ing] the irrational beliefs that underlie a fear; mak[ing] a conscious effort to push past the fear and take positive action in the direction of the fear." Although Downs's premise is intriguing, his book is a disappointment. A more cohesive structure bolstered with more practical exercises and real-life scenarios would have made it a more useful tool. (June) Copyright 2000 Reed Business Information, Inc. Fear, our greatest enemy, undermines our confidence in ourselves and persuades us to abandon our core strengths and talents. Downs teaches us how to recognize basic fears and how to break the cycle of fear to discover what we are truly good at and where our passion lies. He analyzes the basic fears, such as inadequacy (What if I fail?), fear of rejection (What if I'm not accepted?), fear of scarcity (What if someone else steals my role?), fear of reality (Isn't there a quick fix?), fear of the unknown (What is lurking out there?), fear of authority (What if I break the rules?), and fear of aging (What if I'm obsolete?). The author concludes that successful leaders share one common factor--they all manage their fears and have discovered their unique blend of talents, trusting those talents completely. Although some may not agree with all his concepts, this is a thought-provoking book on a familiar topic. Mary WhaleyCopyright American Library Association.

Handsprings

Grade 3-5-Florian continues to churn out clever poems accompanied by his spirited watercolor and colored-pencil artwork. Illustrations include a girl skateboarding on a green leaf, a boy doing handsprings, and a daisy with a smiling face poking around a brick wall. He employs lots of playful phrases: Spring is great/For growing grass./Spring has zing/And spring has sass and The March wind rattles/And skedaddles. There is one nimble concrete poem titled Rain Reign and another selection called Ten Things To Do When It Rains: -Surf the net./Build a jet./Or go outside and get wet. The format will be familiar to fans of Summersaults (2002), Autumnblings (2003), and Winter Eyes (1999, all HarperCollins), with plenty of white space framing muddy, childlike illustrations and simple, clear print. These sprightly odes shout out the poet's affection for the season and conclude his well-received quartet. Most libraries will want to purchase this entertaining suite.-Kirsten Cutler, Sonoma Library, CA Copyright Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. K-Gr. 3. The last of Florian's seasonal series, which includes Winter Eyes (1999), summersaults (2002), and Autumnblings (2003), this collection of 48 short, rhyming poems celebrates a child's experience of spring in a winning combination of exuberance, delicacy, and messy fun. From flowers and showers to skateboard speeding and baseball striking, the small pictures, in watercolor and colored pencil, add to the physical sounds and action without overwhelming the words: "Picking berries is very fun / Very berry merry fun," reads the poem, which is accompanied by a picture showing a kid's hand smeared and blotchy with color. There is the delight of wallowing in oozing mud, and also "the feel of rain that drips / Down my nose and on my lips." Preschoolers will have fun chanting and acting out the rhyme and repetition; older kids will like all the puns and wordplay--from the book title to "Spring succeeds ex-seed-ing-ly." Yes it does.

The Tiny One: A Novel

In The Tiny One Eliza Minot takes over what used to be her sister Susan's territory--just the way a younger sibling should. Territory in this case means a large, happy, Catholic family--the Reveres--that lives in Massachusetts, spends summers in Maine, and is lucky enough to have love to spare. All of this normality and stability, however, is changed by the death of Mrs. Revere--"Mum" as she is called throughout. What makes Minot's more than just another novel about a death in the family is the fact that it's written entirely from the perspective of the youngest Revere, Via. "Mum's dead forever," she says in the sentiment-free tones of a child grappling with death. "Mum's dead forever and the world's all different, roomy and huge." "I can't stop thinking about the day that it happened," Via tells us. "The day before yesterday.... The day was like other days and then it happened. I want to think about it so much that I also don't want to think about it." What follows is her account of the day her mother was killed in a car accident, interpolated with memories from and impressions of her young life. Minot makes the trappings of early childhood come alive. Everything from wanting to fit in at school ("I like the fish sticks better but I pretend that I like the pizza as much as everyone else does." "I like social studies but I pretend I don't because everyone else doesn't") to a multitude of the kind of fanciful observations that form the backbone of childish delight in the world. Here, for example, she comments on waiting in line for lunch: "The cinder-block walls are painted yellow and when I run my finger along the track between each block it's smooth and fits perfectly like I've made the line with my finger on frosting." We have to leave Via at the beginning of what we, as adults, know will be a long road, which might be heartbreaking if she weren't such a sensitive child. Early on she poses a series of questions: "But where do all the things she thinks go? And if I die when I'm eighty and I go to heaven, how old will I be when I see her? Older than her? Where do all of when she thinks of me go?" Obviously there are no answers, but it's somehow comforting to get to know Minot's little sage. It instills a kind of faith that seems to promise she'll make it through by asking the right questions, answers or no answers. --Melanie Rehak Chronicling the same family dynamics and pivotal events as her sister Susan Minot in Monkeys, Eliza Minot makes an impressive debut with this moving novel of a close-knit family disrupted by a sudden, tragic death. The remarkably true voice of eight-year-old Via Mahoney Revere is Minot's triumph here, as the stunned child tries to absorb the fact that her beloved mother has died in a car accident. In a trance of disjointed sorrow, Via retraces the fateful day, recalling the routine progression of her fourth grade classes to the moment when she hears the news. One memory triggers another, flooding her mind with incidents ranging through her secure and protected childhood. Through the layers of episodic recollection emerges a clear and textured picture of a comfortable upper-middle-class Catholic family living in a Massachusetts coastal town, spending summers on an island in Maine, skiing in New Hampshire and sunning in Bermuda. Mum is vibrantly present in all of Via's memories, a tender and actively affectionate maternal figure who jokes with her kids in easy vernacular. Via is the last born of four siblings, and the smallest. Still young enough for kisses and squeezes, she is enveloped in a warm cocoon of loving care; "small fry," her mother calls her fondly, and "pint-sized." The bedrock of credibility here, and the source of the book's emotional truth, is Minot's ability to recall a child's fresh sensory perceptions. Abundant humor suffuses the mixture of wonder and bewilderment with which Via tries to interpret the world, and her childish opinions about cereal box prizes and TV cartoons and why she loves pickles. Yet we never forget that a child awakened to grief is summoning these comforting memories as solace. Minot's prose pulses with similes and graceful images. To Via, the ocean on a hot day "looks like dried paint that a ball would bounce on." The reader's emotional response rises as the chapters progress toward the moment when Via's life will suffer the irrevocable blow. In its poignant denouement, this narrative of domestic happiness and heartrending grief culminates in a radiant vision of eternal love. 5-city reading tour. (Nov.) Copyright 1999 Reed Business Information, Inc. Minot's powerful first novel introduces Via Revere, a plucky and adored third grader, the youngest child of a wealthy Massachusetts couple who is forced to come to terms with grief, loss, and a rapidly shifting family dynamic when her mother is killed in a car wreck. Via, who narrates her own story, is by turns whiny and articulate, future-focused and reflective, accepting and full of questions. As with all children, there are times you want Via to go away and leave you alone; at other times, however, she will enchant you and move you to tears; for better or for worse, Minot writes this young life with amazing authenticity. And although several story lines go nowhere and appear as loose threads in an otherwise well-woven tale, the book nonetheless resonates and shines. Recommended for all public libraries.AEleanor J. Bader, Brooklyn, NY Copyright 1999 Reed Business Information, Inc. The frame of this poignant first novel is the day eight-year-old Via Revere learns of her mother's death in a car crash. In chapters divided into the sections of an average fourth-grader's school day (breakfast, reading class, recess, etc.), Via's narrative loops back from the events of the tragic day to earlier scenes with her large family at home in Connecticut or summering in Maine--her childhood lost. Through Minot, Via's common, almost banal moments in an intelligent, well-cared-for child's life often become remarkable in their authenticity. This is a writer who seems to remember acutely the emotional terrain of childhood--the endless, random energy; the innocent and violent curiosities; fascination with the senses and the body; and the fierce love for family. While the young voice wavers at times, and some of the sequencing and scene choices seem uneven, readers will appreciate the book's powerful moments illuminating a child's love for her parent, and will feel Via's loss at the book's end. Gillian Engberg In her nicely observed and sharply written debut novel, Minot, with generally satisfying results, offers the biography of an eight-year-old girl on the occasion of her mothers death. Via Revere, who as the story opens has just learned of her Mums death, intends to catalogue the day of her dying, frightened she will lose her mother if she forgets it. The novel is actually Vias vivid recounting of her own biography through a string of anecdotes, told in the present tense, gathered around the theme of her perfect family happiness. Living in Massachusetts, the Reveres spend summers at Sky Island in Maine and winters skiing in New Hampshire. Mum and Dad are uniformly gentle, sensitive, and admirably parental, and Vias brothers Cy and Pete and her sister Marly are happily teasing, intelligent, and humane (uniformity of character in the novel, if a flaw, is still true to the vision of the eight-year-old were reading). Via herself is of course precocious, as is evident not only from her high standing in math, but from the deft perceptions and agility of her narrative. Hovering over these simple, innocent, and extended sketches of snuggles in bed, clam digs, and childish irritations is the readers knowledge of Vias mothers impending death. The day in question isnt much: waking up, taking a bath, waiting for the bus, going to school. At school, there's history, art, math, and Vias father's arrival with the news. Vias own voice is Minots signal achievement. A distant cousin of Nicholson Bakers fastidious adult itemizers, Via presents a persuasive childs point of view, but, given the dewy golden glow of the story until the news is broken to Via, her mother's death does not seem crushing. Minot, as though, understanding this, intervenes with brief, vaguely philosophical remarks about loss and childhood innocence. An adeptly textured first novel, in all. Minot shows skill in a story flush with detail but not overburdened by significance. -- Copyright 1999, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved. A remarkable work of recollection and imagination. --The Boston GlobeA shining poetic evocation of a child's experience of the loss of her mother. --The New York Times[Minot] has a wild, unstrung, lyrical gift. --The New York Times Book ReviewA sensitive, sensuous first novel . . . a bright-dark rendering of a young girl's great childhood loss, told with quiet power and deep feeling. --ElleFrom the Trade Paperback edition. Via Revere is eight years old when her mother is killed in a car wreck on a winter road in Massachusetts. Cast into the anguish of grief, totally bewildered by her mother's disappearance, and mystified by the notion of death itself, Via tries to hold on to her mother in the only way she knows how: by telling what she knows, and by remembering, in excruciating detail, the day her mother died. The Tiny One captures a single day in the life of a young child grappling with immeasurable grief and loss: from the dreadful moment when she is taken out of math class and led to the principal's office to hear the news, to all the daydreams and recollections that swim through a child's mind -- of summers in Maine, mornings in bed with her sleeping parents, car trips, rivalries and affections among her many siblings, growing pains and the older boys at the pool who give Via such a ticklish feeling in her belly she wants to "climb up on them and, like, wriggle around." But mainly Via holds a microscope up to her day in the hope that if she musters all of her eight-year-old good sense, she can riddle out death's logic, and find the crack in the world through which her mother must have slipped.With clarity, sensitivity, and precision, Eliza Minot captures the voice of a vibrant, intelligent child swept unexpectedly into a sea of sorrow and confusion.

Eliza Minot was born in Beverly, Massachusetts. She lives in New York with her husband. The Tiny One is her first novel. ONE: Staying with PuddleVia Revere. She's just a kid in the morning except that she's sitting still on her bed in the thick of far-gone winter with her mouth parted open like a grown woman's in thought. Life's got her for the first time pinned up against a wall, openmouthed. But other than her mouth, and her stillness, the rest of her's pure kid, but stunned. She's slouched and static, puffy-eyed, staring at the rug where it meets the wood floor. She's sitting waiting, lopsided, dumbstruck, not even thinking yet what to think.Her mother would have put her in the gray flannel or Black Watch plaid dress. Instead Via's wearing an Easter dress that curdles, but nicely, with the raw winter surrounding her. Its white cotton is springlike, clean and pleated, cool over her dark wool tights. Lavender smocking is embroidered across her chest, and her young fresh head grows up out of the starched scalloped collar that petals at the neck. Her hair's got so much static that she can feel it clinging silky to her cheek, buzzing, tickling at the side of her chapped mouth.One of the cats jumps up beside her and arches to rub along her arm. She pats it without looking at it and with her electricity gives it a little shock so the kitty twitches its whiskers but keeps purring. Via twitches too, her eye, but keeps staring.She's just a kid and it's morning but nothing's the same. Everything's different now. She's at the beginning of a new chapter. She's perched at the edge of a new era. Grief has been born boring into her soft ripe life full of cartwheels and digging with sticks, leaves and laughter, sky and light, her mother's face and jumps in the air. Grief's been injected like a strange sedative that has the opposite effect -- it wakes you up. It's jarred her like shaking her shoulders. It has her. The grizzle of life has rattled her numb. It's like she's been whacked in the head out of laughter and now she sits alone on her bed, looking out, in awe at anything, in awe at everything, stunned.Hearing the news is like this: The day was like other days and then it happened. Then the news came like those film clips where huge buildings sway gracefully to the ground like someone's sucking them down with a vacuum. It's a whirl of air. It's a night of movement with billowing as the darkness is go everything go, everything moves, disheveled and alive, rushing with sound. Then suddenly it is silent. It's like the sound has been turned off but you're watching a storm. The trees bend like slingshots and the leaves tornado up into the air. Where is the sound? And then it is over.Then it is over and it's morning. You've heard the news. You'd almost rather hear it again -- fresh -- than begin a life with what you know now. It is morning. It is a morning when everything is hit white-yellow and windows of buildings shine in dull flashes. The windshields of slowly moving cars turn weak sun in your eyes. You wince. You feel like a fever that's petrified.It's her older sister Marly's voice in the door behind her. You ready?Then it's her father. All set?They're in the door together but Via doesn't want to turn around to see.Marly comes and sits beside her. All set? she says, like her father just did.Via nods. She pats the cat Puddle and listens to the purring. She's purring, Via says.Come on, says Marly, nudging her. Marly heads toward the bureau. I'll get you a sweater.No, says Via.No what?No sweater.You'll freeze, V.I don't think I will.Well you think wrong, says Marly. Look at it out there.Via looks up from the floor to look out the window. She doesn't remember yesterday. Today looks like it's trying to snow.I want to stay here with Puddle, Via says.Marly goes over to her. Marly squats down and looks at her little sister in the eye. You want to stay with Puddle? Marly asks her.Via nods.It's not time to go yet, says Marly. Want me to come get you when it's time to go?Via nods again. Yeah, she says. She's patting Puddle.Marly kisses Via's forehead as she's standing up. We'll all be right downstairs if you want to come down, Marly tells her. Okay? 'Kay, says Via.When Marly leaves, Via looks back up out the window while she listens to Puddle purr. It's as white as can be out there. Only the rattly knuckled trees are dark and still against the icy snow that's beneath them and behind them. Above the world is the long white sky, open and bare.

The Tiny One: A Novel In The Tiny One Eliza Minot takes over what used to be her sister Susan's territory--just the way a younger sibling should. Territory in this case means a large, happy, Catholic family--the Reveres--that lives in Massachusetts, spends summers in Maine, and is lucky enough to have love to spare. All of this normality and stability, however, is changed by the death of Mrs. Revere--"Mum" as she is called throughout. What makes Minot's more than just another novel about a death in the family is the fact that it's written entirely from the perspective of the youngest Revere, Via. "Mum's dead forever," she says in the sentiment-free tones of a child grappling with death. "Mum's dead forever and the world's all different, roomy and huge." "I can't stop thinking about the day that it happened," Via tells us. "The day before yesterday.... The day was like other days and then it happened. I want to think about it so much that I also don't want to think about it." What follows is her account of the day her mother was killed in a car accident, interpolated with memories from and impressions of her young life. Minot makes the trappings of early childhood come alive. Everything from wanting to fit in at school ("I like the fish sticks better but I pretend that I like the pizza as much as everyone else does." "I like social studies but I pretend I don't because everyone else doesn't") to a multitude of the kind of fanciful observations that form the backbone of childish delight in the world. Here, for example, she comments on waiting in line for lunch: "The cinder-block walls are painted yellow and when I run my finger along the track between each block it's smooth and fits perfectly like I've made the line with my finger on frosting." We have to leave Via at the beginning of what we, as adults, know will be a long road, which might be heartbreaking if she weren't such a sensitive child. Early on she poses a series of questions: "But where do all the things she thinks go? And if I die when I'm eighty and I go to heaven, how old will I be when I see her? Older than her? Where do all of when she thinks of me go?" Obviously there are no answers, but it's somehow comforting to get to know Minot's little sage. It instills a kind of faith that seems to promise she'll make it through by asking the right questions, answers or no answers. --Melanie Rehak Chronicling the same family dynamics and pivotal events as her sister Susan Minot in Monkeys, Eliza Minot makes an impressive debut with this moving novel of a close-knit family disrupted by a sudden, tragic death. The remarkably true voice of eight-year-old Via Mahoney Revere is Minot's triumph here, as the stunned child tries to absorb the fact that her beloved mother has died in a car accident. In a trance of disjointed sorrow, Via retraces the fateful day, recalling the routine progression of her fourth grade classes to the moment when she hears the news. One memory triggers another, flooding her mind with incidents ranging through her secure and protected childhood. Through the layers of episodic recollection emerges a clear and textured picture of a comfortable upper-middle-class Catholic family living in a Massachusetts coastal town, spending summers on an island in Maine, skiing in New Hampshire and sunning in Bermuda. Mum is vibrantly present in all of Via's memories, a tender and actively affectionate maternal figure who jokes with her kids in easy vernacular. Via is the last born of four siblings, and the smallest. Still young enough for kisses and squeezes, she is enveloped in a warm cocoon of loving care; "small fry," her mother calls her fondly, and "pint-sized." The bedrock of credibility here, and the source of the book's emotional truth, is Minot's ability to recall a child's fresh sensory perceptions. Abundant humor suffuses the mixture of wonder and bewilderment with which Via tries to interpret the world, and her childish opinions about cereal box prizes and TV cartoons and why she loves pickles. Yet we never forget that a child awakened to grief is summoning these comforting memories as solace. Minot's prose pulses with similes and graceful images. To Via, the ocean on a hot day "looks like dried paint that a ball would bounce on." The reader's emotional response rises as the chapters progress toward the moment when Via's life will suffer the irrevocable blow. In its poignant denouement, this narrative of domestic happiness and heartrending grief culminates in a radiant vision of eternal love. 5-city reading tour. (Nov.) Copyright 1999 Reed Business Information, Inc. Minot's powerful first novel introduces Via Revere, a plucky and adored third grader, the youngest child of a wealthy Massachusetts couple who is forced to come to terms with grief, loss, and a rapidly shifting family dynamic when her mother is killed in a car wreck. Via, who narrates her own story, is by turns whiny and articulate, future-focused and reflective, accepting and full of questions. As with all children, there are times you want Via to go away and leave you alone; at other times, however, she will enchant you and move you to tears; for better or for worse, Minot writes this young life with amazing authenticity. And although several story lines go nowhere and appear as loose threads in an otherwise well-woven tale, the book nonetheless resonates and shines. Recommended for all public libraries.AEleanor J. Bader, Brooklyn, NY Copyright 1999 Reed Business Information, Inc. The frame of this poignant first novel is the day eight-year-old Via Revere learns of her mother's death in a car crash. In chapters divided into the sections of an average fourth-grader's school day (breakfast, reading class, recess, etc.), Via's narrative loops back from the events of the tragic day to earlier scenes with her large family at home in Connecticut or summering in Maine--her childhood lost. Through Minot, Via's common, almost banal moments in an intelligent, well-cared-for child's life often become remarkable in their authenticity. This is a writer who seems to remember acutely the emotional terrain of childhood--the endless, random energy; the innocent and violent curiosities; fascination with the senses and the body; and the fierce love for family. While the young voice wavers at times, and some of the sequencing and scene choices seem uneven, readers will appreciate the book's powerful moments illuminating a child's love for her parent, and will feel Via's loss at the book's end. Gillian Engberg In her nicely observed and sharply written debut novel, Minot, with generally satisfying results, offers the biography of an eight-year-old girl on the occasion of her mothers death. Via Revere, who as the story opens has just learned of her Mums death, intends to catalogue the day of her dying, frightened she will lose her mother if she forgets it. The novel is actually Vias vivid recounting of her own biography through a string of anecdotes, told in the present tense, gathered around the theme of her perfect family happiness. Living in Massachusetts, the Reveres spend summers at Sky Island in Maine and winters skiing in New Hampshire. Mum and Dad are uniformly gentle, sensitive, and admirably parental, and Vias brothers Cy and Pete and her sister Marly are happily teasing, intelligent, and humane (uniformity of character in the novel, if a flaw, is still true to the vision of the eight-year-old were reading). Via herself is of course precocious, as is evident not only from her high standing in math, but from the deft perceptions and agility of her narrative. Hovering over these simple, innocent, and extended sketches of snuggles in bed, clam digs, and childish irritations is the readers knowledge of Vias mothers impending death. The day in question isnt much: waking up, taking a bath, waiting for the bus, going to school. At school, there's history, art, math, and Vias father's arrival with the news. Vias own voice is Minots signal achievement. A distant cousin of Nicholson Bakers fastidious adult itemizers, Via presents a persuasive childs point of view, but, given the dewy golden glow of the story until the news is broken to Via, her mother's death does not seem crushing. Minot, as though, understanding this, intervenes with brief, vaguely philosophical remarks about loss and childhood innocence. An adeptly textured first novel, in all. Minot shows skill in a story flush with detail but not overburdened by significance. -- Copyright 1999, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved. A remarkable work of recollection and imagination. --The Boston GlobeA shining poetic evocation of a child's experience of the loss of her mother. --The New York Times[Minot] has a wild, unstrung, lyrical gift. --The New York Times Book ReviewA sensitive, sensuous first novel . . . a bright-dark rendering of a young girl's great childhood loss, told with quiet power and deep feeling. --ElleFrom the Trade Paperback edition. Via Revere is eight years old when her mother is killed in a car wreck on a winter road in Massachusetts. Cast into the anguish of grief, totally bewildered by her mother's disappearance, and mystified by the notion of death itself, Via tries to hold on to her mother in the only way she knows how: by telling what she knows, and by remembering, in excruciating detail, the day her mother died. The Tiny One captures a single day in the life of a young child grappling with immeasurable grief and loss: from the dreadful moment when she is taken out of math class and led to the principal's office to hear the news, to all the daydreams and recollections that swim through a child's mind -- of summers in Maine, mornings in bed with her sleeping parents, car trips, rivalries and affections among her many siblings, growing pains and the older boys at the pool who give Via such a ticklish feeling in her belly she wants to "climb up on them and, like, wriggle around." But mainly Via holds a microscope up to her day in the hope that if she musters all of her eight-year-old good sense, she can riddle out death's logic, and find the crack in the world through which her mother must have slipped.With clarity, sensitivity, and precision, Eliza Minot captures the voice of a vibrant, intelligent child swept unexpectedly into a sea of sorrow and confusion. More than this, she gives us a young narrator whose innate wisdom has something to teach us all -- a child who extracts a remarkable lesson from her first brutal encounter with the arbitrary, inscrutable forces of chance and accident. This is the story of a little girl who has a reckoning with death and comes, instinctively, to what remains: to love, and through love, to life.

Fighting For Honor: Japanese Americans and World War II

Gr 6-10-This explanation of the unfair circumstances and incredible heroism of first- and second-generation Japanese Americans during World War II is similar in tone and format to Jerry Stanley's I Am an American (Crown, 1994). What distinguishes Cooper's effort is the more extensive, descriptive, and sometimes grisly attention given to these soldiers' contributions to the military conflict in Europe. As an example, the Japanese Americans who served in the 100th/442nd battalion became "the most highly decorated unit in U.S. military history" at a time when most of their families had been forcibly removed from their homes and businesses in Washington, Oregon, and California. Cooper begins with a strong first chapter that establishes the extent of the American prejudice against these citizens and the post-Pearl Harbor hysteria that led to the establishment of the War Relocation Authority. The author then questions why this happened and responds with solid cause and effect examples, utilizing relevant archival photographs of these "barbed wire communities." On the war front, the descriptions of individual acts of bravery in Europe are drawn from first-person accounts and other sources, and while the geography is not introduced well, the battles' objectives, actions, and results are clear.-Andrew Medlar, Chicago Public Library, ILCopyright 2001 Cahners Business Information, Inc. Gr. 6-12. "They changed my army status to 4C [ineligible] because of my ancestry, ran me out of town, and now they want me to volunteer for a suicide squad so I could get killed for this damned democracy." Cooper captures the dichotomy of the U.S. government's attitude toward Japanese Americans during World War II. Bolstered by evidence of the anti-Asian sentiments that greeted the first immigrants, the author takes readers from the raid on Pearl Harbor to the trains bound for the internment camps to the hard-won victories of the all-Asian 100th Infantry Battalion. His description of life in the camps is vivid, and the battlefield accounts are graphic and dramatic. Both are enlivened with first-person testimony. The straightforward narrative is illustrated with numerous black-and-white photos and appended with a map of the relocation camps, a chronology, notes, and a bibliography. Randy MeyerCopyright American Library Association. All rights reserved Cooper provides a vivid account of the heroic WWII combat experiences of the many Japanese-American men who joined the U.S. Army to prove their loyalty.

Appalachian Blues

Multi-faceted, a consummate entertainer and a true song stylist, Stella. has touched audiences worldwide not only through her music, but her stage, television, and film presence as well. Stella. began her entertainment career auspiciously at an early age singing gospel music with her family -- in church and on television and radio. Her first two albums, which included several original compositions, reflected that early influence and delivered that same sincerity and honesty which is felt in her music today. Relocating to Nashville, Stella. wrote and recorded her first hit single, "I Want To Hold You In My Dreams Tonight," which launched her career in country music. She since has recorded 22 chart singles, released 15 albums and garnered numerous awards and nominations, including multiple ASCAP Awards and ACM and Music City News nominations. Not one to feel fenced in by creative boundaries, Stella. took on the rigors of the theatre, starring in four New York touring productions, including Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas, Pump Boys and Dinettes and Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. Stella. has been featured in such films as "Cloud Dancer," "The Loner" and "Country Gold."

Stella.'s desire and ability to relate to people from all walks of life, coupled with her diverse talents, are qualities that have made her one of America's richest musical treasures.

A modern pilgrim in Mecca

Arthur John Byng Wavell (1882-1916) was both a soldier and explorer. Commissioned in the Welsh Regiment in 1900, he saw service in the South African War before he was nineteen, and went on to carry out military intelligence work after peace was restored. He left the army in 1906 and bought a farm near Mombasa, where he learned Arabic and became interested in Islam. From this came his desire to explore Arabia. He was killed fighting heroically in East Africa in 1916. --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.

Intelligence Testing and Minority Students: Foundations, Performance Factors, and Assessment Issues (RACIAL ETHNIC MINORITY PSYCHOLOGY)

"At last a book that is comprehensive, balanced and sensitive in its approach to the intellectual assessment of minority children. This book will quickly become a standard text in courses on assessment and diversity." (Jonathan Sandoval )"Congratulations to Richard Valencia and Lisa Suzuki for producing a long overdue, comprehensive and balanced treatment of cognitive assessment for minority children. This volume should prove to be a great value for practitioners and researchers alike." (Terry Gutkin 20031203)I believe that Intelligence Testing and Minority Students is absolutely outstanding. Valencia and Suzuki demonstrate unusually rich research-based, theoretical, practical, and clinical foundations for treating the important and thorough set of topics covered by the book. Their underlying compassion is also evident throughout the book. I recommend this book to everyone in the field of assessment; it is must reading for anyone who tests minority students. (Alan S. Kaufman 20031203)"This book should be required reading for those who work in this field either in a research or clinical capacity, but is especially important for those who have reservations about the use of standardized tests for intellectual assessment. It is a highly valuable reference." (Robert Rueda 20031203)"This is a very rich resource on the history of "intelligence" testing and it's application to diverse ethnic groups. Theoretical and applied topics are well integrated in the discussions. Most important is the inclusion of the record of white supremacy ideology, the issues of cultural salience in measurement, and the issues of usage. I know of no other reference on this topic that is as comprehensive as is this one." (Asa G. Hilliard III 20031203) Intellectual and academic development of racial/ethnic minority children; psychometric evaluation of intelligence and achievement tests; social and psychological foundations of minority schooling; minority school failure and success; teacher testing and prospective minority teachers.Lisa Suzuki conducts research in the area of multicultural assessment in particular understanding how culture impacts the process of cognitive assessment. Her work also focuses on the usage of qualitative research strategies with diverse ethnocultural groups. She serves as an Associate Editor of The Counseling Psychologist, Consulting Editor of The Journal of Psychological Assessment, and Consulting Editor of The Asian Journal of Counseling. She is senior co-editor of the Handbook of Multicultural Assessment now in its third edition (with Joseph Ponterotto) and co editor of The Handbook of Multicultural Counseling (with Joseph Ponterotto, Manuel Casas, and Charlene Alexander) also in its third edition. She is co-author of Intelligent Testing with Minority Students (with Richard Valencia) and co-editor of Using Qualitative Methods in Psychology (with Mary Kopala). Suzuki currently co-editing a text (with Donna Nagata and Laura Kohn-Wood) entitled Qualitative Strategies with Ethnocultural Populations to be published by APA Books. She is currently working with Jacqueline Mattis and a group of doctoral students on a study focusing on meaning making among survivors of the Holocaust in collaboration with Elizabeth Edelstein of the Museum of Jewish Heritage in New York City. Suzuki is the recipient of the Distinguished Contribution bestowed by the Asian American Psychological Association (2006) and the Visionary Leadership Award from the National Multicultural Conference and Summit (2007). Suzuki served as the Vice-President of Diversity and Public Interest for the Society of Counseling Psychology (Division 17) of the American Psychological Association (2002-2005). Suzuki received her doctorate in Counseling Psychology from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 1992 and has taught in the counseling psychology programs at Fordham University and the University of Oregon.

KLH HT-9900 6-Piece Home Theater Speaker System

KLH's six-piece home theater speaker set is a compact and affordable ticket to enjoying multichannel surround sound from your favorite movies. Best when used in conjunction with a Dolby Digital- and DTS-decoding surround receiver, the KLH HT-9900 handles 10 to 100 watts per channel and--at 8 ohms/88 dB sensitivity--will work nicely with almost any receiver. Speakers The five central speakers in the HT-9900 consist of four identical satellites (left, right, front, and rear) and a slightly larger center channel speaker (since 70 percent of a movie's soundtrack is dialogue or center focused). The two-way satellites each use a single 4-inch woofer and a 0.625-inch piezoelectric tweeter; the center channel uses dual 4.25-inch woofers and a matching tweeter. All speakers are magnetically shielded, so they won't induce image distortion now matter how close you set them to your TV (center channels often rest atop the set). With the satellites, it's safe to use amplifiers pumping up to 100 watts per channel when the sats are wired through the subwoofer (see the enclosed hookup manual). Use a more conservative 60-watts-per-channel receiver if you'll be feeding them speaker-level signals directly from the receiver's back panel. The satellites measure 8.625 by 5.125 by 5.5 inches; the center-channel speaker measures 5.25 by 17.25 by 5.5 inches. Subwoofer The sub uses dual 5.25-inch woofers, which help push bass down to 50 Hz--impressively deep for the sub's diminutive size. A low-pass filter rolls the top end of the sub's frequency response at the low end of the satellites' range, ensuring seamless integration between them. The subwoofer measures 11.25 by 7.625 by 17.125 inches. The system includes speaker wire and is covered under a one-year limited warranty on parts and labor.

The entire computer, including G5-based logic board, slot-loading optical drive, hard disk, speakers and power supply, dwells inside the enchanting display. The new iMac G5 includes power supply, stereo speakers, and a slot-loading SuperDrive enclosed within the widescreen flat-panel display. The Display is the Computer Apple designers removed the extraneous, miniaturized the necessary, souped up the performance and concealed the result in immaculate perfection. The iMac G5 hangs suspended from a graceful anodized aluminum stand and its widescreen display lets you retouch photos and surf the web while you chat with friends or scan email -- wirelessly, thanks to built-in AirPort technology -- and see everything at the same time. In fact, the 1680 x 1050 pixel resolution 20-inch display can show more than two full pages side by side. That's 36% more screen area than the 17-inch, at 1440 x 900 pixels. Technology Democratized The iMac G5 brings the same innovative system architecture in Apple professional desktops to the home. The G5 processor makes everything zippier -- connecting to email or the web, creating movies, songs and DVDs, arranging photos or playing music. Choose the 2.0 GHz G5 processor, in this 17-inch or 20-inch model, that's ready to run modern 64-bit applications under Mac OS X Tiger: the world's most advanced, stable and secure operating system. What's more, the G5 speeds up Mac OS X and all the other included software, such as iLife '05, Quicken 2005 and World Book. All-in-One Ease iMac G5 tucks away modern amenities, such as a 8x SuperDrive on this 17-inch and 20-inch models, inside its two-inch thin body. Burn DVD slideshows of vacation photos or send friends a DVD with a special movie for the holidays. Back up your iTunes collection or make a mix CD for that special someone. Naturally, you can pop in your DVD movies and watch them in 16:10 widescreen letterbox format on the gorgeous LCD display. Delight in pristine audio from fully integrated stereo speakers. Cleverly pointed down, they bounce sound waves off your desk, counter or table into your ears. A Place for Everything Remove the back cover on the iMac G5, and you'll discover that perfect order is not just a requirement, but also candy to the eye. Thoughtful touches abound its dense layout, since Apple engineers considered the placement of every bit of technology -- several times. Inside, you'll find enough modern technology to make even nerds drool. That's a 1.8 GHz G5 processor, 600 MHz frontside bus, 256 MB DDR SDRAM running at 400 MHz and NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 Ultra with 64 MB graphics memory. So you'll be able to play Worlds of Warcraft, Doom III and other fantastic entertainment. Power to Spare What's more, the thin enclosure even holds the power supply, so you won't need to accommodate a huge power brick. Obsessed by the drive to offer you the best personal computer, Apple engineers strove to add fit and finish in every detail, down to the power switch located on the back panel. When you remove the panel, the button goes with it. But with the case closed, the button makes contact with the power supply. Quieter than a whisper, the iMac G5 measures less than 25dB when idle and a slit in the back of the case allows heat to rise out the top Ports include: Two FireWire 400 ports, three USB 2.0 ports, two USB 1.1 ports, VGA output, S-video and composite video output. Stay Connected Of course the iMac G5 offers all the right ports to connect to your universe with ease. Starting with the new headphone jack that's also a mini-optical plug. So you can watch DVDs and listen to them in 5.1 surround sound. You'll also find a passel of USB 2.0 and FireWire 400 connectors for your camera, camcorder or gamepad. Or if you want to connect your iMac to your TV or a digital projector, the mini-VGA port gives you the option. The line in jack lets you record an electric guitar into GarageBand. iMac offers built-in Gigabit Ethernet for wired networking as well as a modem for dial-up Internet and faxing. Extreme Graphics A sizzling new graphics card and next-generation high-bandwidth architecture kick 3D games and graphics into high gear, with improved frame rates over the previous iMac G5 in Halo. Every new iMac G5 comes standard with AGP 8x graphics support and the ATI Radeon 9600 graphics card with 128 MB of dedicated video memory for higher performance graphics and effects -- ideal for next-generation games. All models deliver over a billion textured pixels per second and high-precision cinematic shaders to generate the most lifelike characters. With Quartz Extreme, the graphics processors take over transform and lighting calculation functions from the CPU, freeing the G5 processor to perform essential system tasks faster than ever before. Go Wireless Better yet, eliminate the desktop clutter of unnecessary cables with wireless connections to the Internet, your keyboard, mouse or cell phone. The AirPort Extreme Card already installed on your iMac gives you the freedom of wireless networking from anywhere in your home or dorm -- up to 150 feet from an AirPort Extreme Base Station. Or try AirPort Express with AirTunes to stream your music to your stereo and send documents to your printer. Your iMac G5 also comes standard with an internal Bluetooth 2.0+EDR (Enhanced Data Rate) module to wirelessly access many devices that previously required cables.

'[Bower's] overall purpose is "to guide the non-expert through the minefield of terms, to identify the origins of the terms and concepts in art, literature and film and to introduce readers to a range of innovative and engaging fictions". All of this she achieves: the text is easily understood without being simplistic, and the glossary, though short, is clear and very helpful.' British Bulletin of Publications 'What renders Bower's Magic(al) Realism such a valuable and comprehensive introduction is that in addition to literature, she also considers artefacts from other fields of cultural production ...

Residential Broadband Networks

Preface This book examines the emerging communications technology called Residential Broadband. While the term residential is in the book's title, the focus is also on the business sector. The major topic of the book is on the local loop, that is, the link (communications channel) between a residential or business dwelling and a service provider, such as the telephone company, the cable TV operator, or an Internet service provider. The subject matter of the book revolves around three major topics: (a) wiring or wireless schemes for the local loop, (b) coding and modulation techniques for the traffic, and (c) protocols to manage the bandwidth and control the access to/from the residential broadband system. There are many issues pertaining to local loop access that are not yet resolved. However, the pieces are starting to come together, especially with the emergence of standards for coding/modulation, and protocols to manage the bandwidth. These issues, both resolved and unresolved, are examined in this book. I hope the reader finds the information in this book useful. You can reach me at 102732.3535@compuserve. Bring today's most powerful network technologies to residences and business: Cable Modems Video On-Demand High-Speed Internet Access Video Conferencing Today's consumers want the same quality of communication services on their local loops that they've been getting in the workplace. High-speed communication technologies are now available to bring Internet, video, and other electronic functions to residential and business users through local service providers, based on existing infrastructure. This book shows you how. Residential Broadband Networks covers the system standards, hardware requirements, and available software for these delivery systems: Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) Asymmetrical DSL (ASDL) Hybrid Fiber-Coax (HFC) Wireless Local Loop Detailed coverage is given to GR-303 requirements, with a special focus on Integrated Access Systems. Cutting-edge digital technologies are related to exiting fiber optics and ATM systems, with a view to the next generation of protocols for residential broadband communications. Readers around the world trust Uyless Black for his straight talk about complex technologies. With Residential Broadband Networks, he brings the latest developments to life for communications engineers serving residential customers. UYLESS BLACK is a widely known and respected consultant and lecturer on computer networks and data communications. With clients throughout the world, including the local and interchange carriers in the USA, Nortel in Canada, and British Telecom in the UK, he has extensive operations and implementation experience in both public and private networks. He is the author of numerous Prentice Hall titles, and founder of the Advanced Communications Technology series.

A Dictionary of Military History and the Art of War

This work is a translation and expansion of the Dictionnaire d'art et d'histoire militaires (Presses Universitaires de France, 1988). Both French editor Andre Corvisier (Univ. of Paris-Sorbonne) and translation editor Childs (Univ. of Leeds) stress that this work concentrates on "important themes, topics, and developments within military history." As a result, battles and commanders are mentioned only if they made an important contribution to the art of war, and while battle narratives and biographies merit only short entries, conceptual articles are quite lengthy. The Clauswitz entry is approximately one column long, for instance, while the adjoining "coastal defence" goes on for several pages. Articles are arranged alphabetically and are signed by the contributors to either the French or the expanded English edition. Most contain suggestions for further reading, although some of these sources are solely in French. The scope of the work is universal but has a definite European emphasis. While this is a solid reference source, its focus may cause some libraries to pass on it, especially those that own Trevor Dupuy's Encyclopedia of Military History (HarperCollins, 1993. 4th ed.). Recommended for libraries with a strong collection in military history.- John F. Camenga, Tampa-Hillsborough P.L., Fla.Copyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc. Translated from the French edition (1988) by Chris Turner and revised and expanded by John Childs, this dictionary complements R. E. and T. N. Dupuy's Encyclopedia of Military History (4th ed., HarperCollins, 1993). Corvisier's interesting introduction reviews the reasons for our disaffection with military matters and the school of event-based history. His purpose is to integrate military history into general history, striking the right balance between precise historical facts and general ideas. Ranging in time from the ancient Middle East to the Gulf War, this dictionary is a complete success and deserves a place in all library collections.All entries are signed by their authors and promote interest and understanding. Brief bibliographies follow most entries. The text includes cross-references, tables, and rather pale black-and-white illustrations. A major contribution and the reason for this new work earning shelf space beside Dupuy is the essay-length articles on such topics as Glory, Nationalism, Pacifism, Popular Warfare, Military Symbolism. These essays promote understanding of ideas associated with war. Discussions of battles and military leaders point to their significance to military history and the advancement of military tactics. For example, the entry for U. S. Grant points out how his methods foreshadowed twentieth-century war and served as a model for "specifically American approaches to the conduct of war." There are also entries for countries, weapons, such concepts as Deterrence, and institutions associated with the military, such as Medical Services and Museums. The indexing is complete, including all entries, illustrations, proper names mentioned in entries, and cross-references. Highly recommended for academic and public libraries. "Recommended for libraries with a strong collection in military history." Library Journal "Admirably comprehensive and offers useful bibliographies after each article." The Times "Corvisier's excellent one-volume reference source for military history is ideally suited for an academic audience. Highly recommended for academic collections." Choice Text: English (translation) Original Language: French From the Battle of Actium to Zhukov, this is a wide-ranging, international reference book of new military history. It deals with the people, battles, campaigns, wars, countries, weapons and institutions which have fundamentally affected the nature and development of warfare. The book has a particular concern with civil-military relations and the role of armed forces in society. Its principal strength lies in the broad, thematic entries which synthesize modern interpretations of the history of such topics as naval and air warfare, strategy, pensions, mobilization, recruitment, losses of life, economic warfare, military families, and chemical and biological warfare.Originally published in French under the title Dictionnaire d'art et d'histoire militaires, the new English version has been completely revised and updated. Additional entries and new material have increased its length by over 20 per cent. All entries now carry full lists of recommended reading drawn from the latest literature. In addition to the expansion of the original articles, many biographical entries have been added, as well as accounts of campaigns and battles.From the Hittites and Assyrians to the Gulf War, the Dictionary presents a broad coverage of military history for students, scholars, specialists and general readers. Andr Corvisier is Professor Emeritus at the University of Paris-Sorbonne. John Childs is Professor of Military History at the University of Leeds.

Scandal

Shades of My Fair Lady color this farcical Regency from Britton (Seduced), which throws together two disparate characters, Charles Reinleigh Drummond Montgomery, the sixth earl of Sherborne, and Anna Brooks, a bright, ambitious market maid. Rein can't believe his ears when he hears the conditions of his uncle, the Duke of Wroxly's, will. But when he finds himself unceremoniously dumped in one of London's seediest slums, reality slowly sinks in. If he doesn't survive in the slum for a month without the benefit of money or connections, he will lose his inheritance. Before he has a chance to get his bearings, Anna accidentally conks him on the "knowledge box" with one of her many inventions. Rein seizes the opportunity to secure shelter with Anna, but he soon finds himself wanting more from the feisty young woman. Anna isn't immune to their attraction, but she's determined not to let it get in the way of her goal to design a sail worthy of Britain's naval fleet. A handful of minor characters like Anna's market friend, Molly, and her batty grandfather add color, but Britton's portrayal of the slums feels whitewashed, despite her occasional references to the city's mud and grime. But this is a fairy tale, after all, and as a fairy tale, it succeeds. Those looking for a fully fleshed-out romance, however, may find it lacking. Copyright Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. Charles Reinleigh Drummond Montgomery, sixth earl of Sherborne, who earned disfavor from his late uncle by accidentally running over the old man's vicious dog, is now heir to the family fortune. However, the will has one condition: Rein must live anonymously, and without financial aid, among the common people for one month. Orphaned Anna Rose Brooks lives with her grandfather, an eccentric, penniless inventor, and Rein literally falls head-over-heels for her when her kite crashes into his head. Feeling obligated to see to his wound, she takes him home, where he cleverly negotiates room and board. Rein soon discovers that her "kite" is really a unique sail designed to win the purse in a prestigious fastest boat contest, and he develops enormous admiration for her intelligence and ingenuity. Sexy and sensual, this Pygmalion-in-reverse story shows how, with the right woman, a selfish nobleman can become a genuinely nice person in spite of himself. As in Britton's other excellent books, this romance is laced with lots of humor. Shelley MosleyCopyright American Library Association. All rights reserved Ms. Britton has gifted us with an outrageously captivating story that will steal your heart...not be missed. -- The Best Reviews - Suzanne TuckerRead the back blurb, preorder this book, and then hope that whoever you order it from ships it early. -- Romance Reader at Heart - Top PickSCANDAL is such a delight... [it] is a novel in which every detail is perfect. ENJOY! -- Reader to ReaderSexy and sensual...As in Britton's other excellent books, this romance is laced with lots of humor. -- BooklistSexy, lively, irresistible, Britton's latest strikes gold, taking readers on a roller-coaster ride that brings a smile and a tear. -- RT BOOKclub - Top Pick A warm welcome to all readers!! If you haven't read my books before, I hope you might consider reading one. SCANDAL is a special book in that it's the sequel to my January 2004 release, TEMPTED. I truly enjoy Cinderella-type stories and this one ranks right up there with TEMPTED. I hope you'll think so too!! "THIS MORNING YOU TOLD ME YOU'D TAKE CARE OF ME. WERE YOU ASKING ME TO BE YOUR MISTRESS?" "I was." Anna nodded and, to Rein's absolute shock, said, "Very well. If the offer is still open, I should like to accept. Assuming, of course, that you're wealthy enough to take me away from all this." Did she jest? Could she be serious? "I am." "Then I accept. But only if you promise to provide for my grandfather as well." "I will." She seemed to lose some of her bluster then, her eyes darting away from his for a moment. "Will you tell me your real name?" "No," he answered honestly. "I cannot reveal that now." She was back to looking proud again. "One day you shall have to tell me what is so important to you that you agreed to come to St. Giles." "One day I shall," he agreed. "Just not now." "When do we begin our bargain?" Her words delivered such a stab of desire to his groin, he almost flinched from the force of it. "Tonight," he found himself saying. Pamela Britton was born to tell stories as evidenced by her ability to convince her three-year-old daughter that she is the singing voice of Ariel from The Little Mermaid, and that King Triton is her very best friend. When she's not tormenting her family with her voice, Pamela creates caffeine-induced stories that have won her numerous accolades over the years, including a nomination from Romance Writers of America for their Golden Heart, an RT BOOKclub nomination for Best First Book, and the title of Best Paranormal romance of 2000 from Affaire de Couer magazine. Recently, Pamela's first book for Warner, Seduced, was nominated as one of the top ten best romances of 2003 by the staff of Barnes and Noble. Pamela feels privileged to write full-time from her ranch in Northern California. She enjoys riding, hiking and singing along to Disney tunes (very big grin). Alas, one day her daughter will reason out that she is not the voice of Ariel. Until then she plans on milking it for all it's worth.

Niagara Cutter 85526 Carbide Ball Nose End Mill, Inch, Uncoated (Bright) Finish, Roughing and Finishing Cut, 30 Degree Helix, 4 Flutes, 2.5" Overall Length, 0.375" Cutting Diameter, 0.375" Shank Diameter

The Niagara Cutter CB430 uncoated carbide ball nose end mill provides the fine finish of four flutes and a 30-degree helix angle for general-purpose machining on a range of materials. The tools ball nose creates contoured surfaces where sharp corners are not required, and the center-cutting design has cutting teeth at the end of the tool, so it can be fed into the workpiece like a drill bit. Four flutes produce a better finish than fewer flutes and can machine material twice as fast as two-flute end mills in some applications. The 30-degree helix angle supports general-purpose applications. It balances lower angles strong cutting edge for difficult-to-machine materials with higher angles increased cutting action. With no coating or surface treatment, the tool features just the base (or substrate) material for a range of general-purpose applications. It can provide an economical alternative to higher-priced coatings. The carbide substrate is harder than high-speed or cobalt steel, making it more wear resistant at high speeds and providing longer tool life. Cutting diameter tolerance is +0.000 to -0.002. The round shank accommodates a variety of holders. End mills are designed to remove material and create three-dimensional shapes or profiles. They have cutting edges along the outside diameter and flutes that remove chips from the cutting area and allow cooling fluids to enter. If heat is not reduced effectively, the tools cutting edges will dull and additional material buildup can occur. The number of flutes typically ranges from two to eight. Two-flute designs offer the most efficient chip removal, but more flutes provide a smoother finish. The shank is the end of the tool held in place by a tool holder or machine. Center-cutting end mills can make plunge cuts similar to a drill bit. Niagara Cutter has been designing and manufacturing precision cutting tools since 1954. Specializing in end mills, cutting mills, and saws, the company is based in New York and manufactures its tools at facilities in Pennsylvania and Massachusetts. This allows the company control over production, from substrate to coating, which is essential for customers in a variety of industries, especially aerospace and automotive.

Introduction: Why This Book Is So Important to MeSoon after I began working in medical research as part of a summer science program in high school, I knew that I loved academic medicine. Clinical research seemed a great way of combining my desire to do something "important" with the joy of learning. I devoted most summers in high school and college to cardiac and cardiovascular research, and I seemed destined for a career as an academic cardiologist. But in my pediatric residency in New York City, I learned that the number one reason children were hospitalized was respiratory disease. For three years I worked more than a hundred hours a week caring for children with difficulty breathing. I was struck by how little we really understood about common childhood illnesses such as allergies and asthma, croup, bronchitis, pneumonia, and cystic fibrosis; and how often our medications proved inadequate. I remember doing everything I could for a child and then sitting with anxious parents, all of us praying their child would get better.It's hard to believe now, but back then there were no specialists for these most common illnesses in pediatrics -- there were no pediatric pulmonologists. When I learned that a few of the major children's hospitals in the country had small training programs, including Harvard's Children's Hospital in Boston, a lightbulb went on for me. Here was an opportunity to do something new and special and very important.I was fortunate to have excellent pediatricians, who were really good at taking care of children with breathing problems, as role models. With their guidance, I cared for hundreds of children with asthma and watched many patients of all ages die of respiratory failure -- from two-pound babies in the neonatal ICU to teenagers and young adults with cystic fibrosis. As a resident I often stayed up all night at the bedside of a child gasping for air. I remember like it was yesterday an eight-year-old with severe croup, a disease that normally affects infants and toddlers. With croup, anxiety and fear significantly worsen respiratory distress, so I spent the night holding this boy's hand and reassuring him to keep him calm. By the time the sun came up the next morning, the medicines had taken effect. His breathing relaxed at last. I felt exhilarated; we had made it through together.Children are so wonderful, so innocent and fresh, so trusting and appreciative. No matter how tired I was after one of those thirty-six-hour shifts, I would saunter home feeling so lucky that these children and their parents allowed me to share these special moments with them. I continue to pursue solutions for these children; and I have made my life's work caring for youngsters who suffer from all types of breathing difficulties. While much of this information is applicable to adults, my area of expertise is children. If your child with allergies or asthma is older than twenty-one, this is not the book for you.I have written this book to empower parents not to settle for less than optimal control of their child's allergies or asthma. Parents have the right to demand more from their physicians and from the medications they prescribe. I want to convey this message to as many parents as possible so our children grow up living happy, active lives.Allen J. Dozor, M.D.August 2003 --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

Dinosaur!

PreSchool-K-A wordless picture book that takes readers on a wild adventure of the imagination. A boy and his toy dinosaur are in the tub when a larger dinosaur appears, and then another, and as the beasts loom larger, the boy and his surroundings become smaller. The culmination is a three-page spread revealing a full-color herd of dinosaurs racing across the page, and if children look very closely, they'll see a tiny boy in his tub. Then, magically, the oversized creatures disappear, and all that are left are the boy and his bath toy and his mother, who appears with a towel. This imaginative story with wonderful endpapers naming the creatures should appeal to all young dinosaur lovers. S's's barely fleshed-out, cookie-cutter cartoons tell the story. He masterfully plays with white space and perspective, conveys action, and captures a full range of emotions with the absolute minimum of line and detail. As in Fire Trucks (1998) and Trucks, Trucks, Trucks (1999, both Greenwillow), the author's bold artwork and simple plot are right on the mark for this audience.JoAnn Jonas, Carlsbad City Library, San Diego, CA Copyright 2000 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. As in last year's Trucks Trucks Trucks, Sis once again paints everyday adventures that are turned fantastic by a boy's imagination. In simple line drawings, the wordless story begins when a boy hops into the tub with his toy dinosaur. An ominous, blue snout slowly emerges from the bath water and mayhem breaks loose--one dinosaur turns into two, three, and more; the bathtub melts into a prehistoric pond; and the boy is suddenly in an ancient desert, with a crowd of beautifully detailed dinos thundering across a foldout spread. Detail gives way to line drawing again, and the boy stands happily in the tub, the last dino tail nearly off the left page, as an anxious mother runs with a towel to the scene. As in his earlier titles, Sis shows a pitch-perfect understanding of the blur between the real and the imagined in children's play. Endpapers printed with a guide to dinosaur species will entertain fans. Gillian Engberg --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Voices from the Streets: Young Gang Members Tell Their Stories

Grade 7 Up?In this revealing book, Atkin shares interviews with former gang members she met, photographed, and interviewed in a two-year odyssey to document why young people join gangs and how they terminate memberships and reenter society's mainstream. Brandy England, a white middle-class teen from Ohio, joined a gang to get her mother's attention. Saroeum Phoung joined the Boston Red Dragons with other Cambodian youths to gain a sense of cultural identity and to stave off racist physical attacks. Elena Rojas, a first-generation Cuban-American living in Miami, wanted to escape physical abuse from a former boyfriend. Patrick is an Irish-Puerto Rican who lives in a Massachusetts town where violence is simply accepted as a way of life. Following the first-person accounts of these four young people, Atkin additionally profiles former gang members and other concerned adults who spend their lives trying to save young people from the destructive effects of gangs. The book is liberally illustrated with the author's stark black-and-white photos. The young people's comments are largely unedited, which means there is plenty of street language in the narratives. Nothing in them offends as much, however, as the horrors of their lives. All have witnessed the violent deaths of friends and family, and many have been forced to cope with dysfunctional parents. An extremely powerful and revealing book that deserves to be read by a much, much wider audience than it is unfortunately likely to receive.?Jerry D. Flack, University of Colorado, Colorado SpringsCopyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc. Gr. 8^-12. Like Maria Hinojosa (Crews [1995]), Atkin leaves the street language and equally harsh sentiments intact in these first-person testimonies. But Atkin's focus is different, and her overall tone is much more positive: the young people here are rebuilding their lives after leaving a gang. Even so, there's no false comfort in their words as they frankly reveal bits of their personal history, talk about their reasons for joining a gang, and recall what they experienced as a member--the good as well as the bad. They also explain why they quit and what it's like trying to stay out. The mix of young people is excellent--girls as well as boys are here, as old as 20, as young as 13--and as with Voices in the Fields (1993), Atkin does a fine job of keeping the words flowing smoothly. A few poems are included, in the writer's native language and in translation, and the final segment is an insightful interview with father and son mentors, both adults, who reach out to gangbangers. The excellent black-and-white photographs capture the individuals behind the words, making each success all the more real. A good glossary is appended, as is an extensive reading list. In many ways this is a frightening book, but it is also a compelling and inspiring one. Stephanie Zvirin In a work subtitled ``Young Former Gang Members Tell Their Stories,'' Atkin offers readers what for most of them will be a rare and realistic glimpse of life in a street gang, through a series of searingly honest interviews. The reasons the participants join a gang vary: substitutes for splintered families, mutual protection, shared ethnicity. The casual discussion of street violence chills; one young woman shrugs off drive-by shootings as a way for dealing with anger, and the numerous mentions of gang-related suicides, murders, and rapes become nearly unbearable. In common are the speakers' confessions of feeling dead themselves, numb from all the chaos surrounding them. The good news is that these same young people now feel alive, healthy, and in control of their lives. The second half of the book presents interviews with ex-gang members and social workers who have established programs to educate, nurture, and train young people who want to change their lives. Black-and-white photographs bring another level of authenticity to their plight; a glossary of slang and technical terms proves handy as well. Alex Kotlowitz provides a foreword (not seen).

If I Were a Rich Man Could I Buy a Pancreas?: And Other Essays on the Ethics of Health Care (Medical Ethics)

Discusses the ethics of genetic engineering, reproductive technology, transplantation and aging. Copyright 1994 Cahners Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. "An important contribution to a debate that will continue for some time." Health and Canadian Society "Insightful and thought-provoking... As Caplan has demonstrated so clearly ... we would all be better off if the ethicists spoke first and not last." The Washington Post "Caplan's views are important and instructive... [This] book represents some of his best work." New England Journal of Medicine "Caplan's [book] is thought provoking, insightful, and well argued. I recommend it highly." The Journal of the American Medical Association " ... a generously illustrated discourse on method in medical and practical ethics." Ethics Arthur L. Caplan has been an important voice in bioethics for many years. In a great number of essays and articles he has taken on some of the most pressing issues in bioethics today. This book brings his most important work together with new essays on autonomy in nursing homes and on the ethical issues raised by the mapping and sequencing of the human genome. In an introductory essay Caplan updates some of his views and responds to criticisms. Caplan begins with a discussion the nature of work in applied ethics. He rejects the view that those who do bioethics or any other version of applied ethics are merely the servants of moral theoreticians. Next, Caplan examines some of the tough moral questions raised by the use of animals in biomedical research. While not recognizing that animals have rights, he argues for more humane treatment when they are used in scientific research. In a group of essays on human experimentation, Caplan studies such issues as privacy and the obligation to serve as a voluntary subject in medical experimentation. In subsequent essays, he explores the frontiers of medicine in genetics, reproductive technology, and transplantation and reviews the challenges posed to the American health care system as the population grows older. Caplan concludes by confronting the pressing public policy issues of cost containment and rationing. He rejects the view that rationing is the only means available for reducing the escalating costs of health care and suggests strategies that would control costs while affording access to basic medical care for every American. ARTHUR L. CAPLAN is Director of the Center for Biomedical Ethics and Professor in the Departments of Philosophy and Surgery at the University of Minnesota.

Encore Game 2008

Clear your throat and drink that honey-lemon tea: It's time to play Encore, the game of dueling larynxes. The goal is to come up with a song that contains particular words--and then sing lines from the song that contains those words. Here's how it works: The first team turns up a card featuring five words; the two teams then take turns singing at least six words of any song that contains one of those five. The round continues until one team is stumped, which, if the word is "love," could take a while. But repetition is not allowed, and for every "said" and "moon," there's a "highway" or "piano"--whaddya do when you've exhausted the Billy Joel songbook? And it's great to draw a lyric that's in a song title, but if you don't know five others that come after, you'll be like the player who drew "nice"; he spent the entire run of the sand timer with his shoulders hunched like Sinatra because he couldn't connect "and let's make all the stops along the way" with the song's title, "Nice 'N' Easy." Oh, and don't play Encore with Renaissance Faire actors--when they draw the word "lady," they'll come up with an inexhaustible supply of 15th-century madrigals. Only after they've won will you discover that they were all bogus. --Tony Mason Encore Deluxe

Saitek J15 Cyborg 3D Stick (PC Only)

Apple's adoption of USB for the iMac, blue-and-white G3, and new PowerBook G3 means Mac gamers can finally get their hands on cool PC gear, such as Saitek's Cyborg 3D Stick. This totally original-looking joystick wears its Cyborg name well; its design resembles something straight from a Borg cube. The Cyborg looks cool, but is it? One feature makes the Cyborg 3D Stick's design truly unique: customization. With the included hex key, you can adjust the top assembly and hand rest to fit your hand. Moreover, lefties can switch the hand rest and throttle assembly for left-handed playing, and the trigger's angle and hat switch are also adjustable. Customizing the Cyborg to fit your hand like a glove and to accommodate your playing style eliminates slips or discomfort, which can ruin timing in games. In addition, the Cyborg fits most women and kids better, since traditional joysticks and flight sticks are generally too big for their hands. And does customization improve your playing? You bet. Beyond its innovative ergonomic design, the Cyborg's overall movement and feel are right on target. The eight-way hat switch is pointy enough so your thumb doesn't slip; the trigger buttons are springy and responsive; and the throttle moves with consistent, smooth motion. If the calibration doesn't feel just right when you fire up the Cyborg, you can calibrate it with InputSproket 1.4. Last but not least, the Cyborg's matte-finish coating resists sweat, which you don't want interfering in your play. Our one beef is Saitek's sparse documentation. Otherwise, the Cyborg is a true plug-and-play device, and with its awesome customization and futuristic looks, there's just nothing else like it for the Mac. -- Jennifer Ho Good News: Customization for different hands, even lefties. Cool, ergonomic design. Smooth throttle movement. Responsive buttons and trigger. Bad News: No ADB version. Sparse documentation. 1999 MacAddict Click here for a free trial issue -- MacAddict

The Shiloh Sisters (Harrison Raines Civil War Mysteries, Book 5)

In his fifth exciting adventure through the battlefields of the Civil War, Kilian's bumbling, myopic spy, Harrison Raines, comes to the aid of Ulysses S. Grant in the aftermath of the Battle of Shiloh in April 1862. Grant has given a pass to a federal congressman's wife, who insists on crossing into Rebel territory to meet with her twin sister. Later, as Union forces march south, both sisters turn up inside a single coffin, murdered. Grant needs this puzzle solved, and chance throws Raines, an agent working for Alan Pinkerton, into his service. Having returned from his exploits in New Mexico around the Battle of Glorieta Pass (chronicled in 2003's A Grave at Glorieta), Raines is tracking a former lover, Louise Devereux, who may be a Confederate spy; she slipped away from him in New Orleans. With his new sidekick, a French-Canadian Indian named Jack Tantou (a great character whose presence lights up every page he appears on), Raines is drafted into a risky investigation that takes him back and forth across enemy lines. Lots of action occurs before the likable secret agent assembles all the suspects before General Grant for a classic convoluted denouement. Kilian's solid formula once again gives his readers a fun history lesson, a who-won-it with every whodunit.Copyright Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. Michael Kilian is a Washington columnist and correspondent for the Chicago Tribune and the author of numerous books, including the Harrison Raines Civil War mysteries.

The Carved Box

Gr 5-8-As soon as orphaned Callum Murdoch arrives in the Canadian wilderness from his home in Scotland, he uses nearly all his money to buy an abused dog from her owner. Dog proves to be the teen's source of comfort as he adjusts to life on his Uncle Rory's homestead. A scholar, the young man resents the monotonous, never-ending hard work; however, he grows to care for his new family, and, at the prompting of Dog, takes responsibility during a crisis. The animal provides a mystical element to this seemingly straightforward historical novel, set just after the American Revolution. When Callum purchases her, he receives a mysterious carved box and instructions never to open it if he desires Dog always to be his companion. In a climactic moment, the box accidentally breaks and readers discover the surprising secret-that she also has a human shape. This mystical ending seems contrived to demonstrate that Callum no longer needs the support of Dog and adds a jarring element to an otherwise highly readable tale of a young man's relationship with his pet, his family, and himself.Crystal Faris, Nassau Library System, Uniondale, NYCopyright 2001 Cahners Business Information, Inc. Gr. 6-8. Orphaned 15-year-old Callum makes the long journey from Scotland to Upper Canada to live with his uncle. Rory is a good man, but Callum is ill-equipped for the harshness of eighteenth-century farm life. Callum's first act is to spend his only coin on a dog being abused by its master and a small carved box that comes with the animal. But Dog succors him through the unremitting labor of the farm, the warring with his sometimes fractious cousins, and his longing for the sweet memory of his mother. Dog listens as though she understands and acts strangely when too far from the carved box. Callum makes a number of mistakes both large and small, but it takes a raging snowstorm and escaped oxen to manifest Dog's true nature. A fantasy element seems tacked on rather than fully integrated, but readers may not notice that as they are swept along with Callum's many trials. For larger collections.

Star Trek - The Original Series, Episode 32: Friday's Child [VHS] (1966)

Our favorite Starfleet trio, Captain Kirk (William Shatner), Mr. Spock (Leonard Nimoy), and Dr. McCoy (DeForest Kelley) beam down to Capella IV to persuade the resident warrior race to sign up with the Federation. Unfortunately, a Klingon agent named Kras (Tige Andrews, the captain of TV's Mod Squad) has preceded them and set enough doubt into play that the take-no-prisoners Capellans decide to give Kirk and company a hostile reception. Written by story editor D.C. (Dorothy) Fontana, "Friday's Child" has the broad outlines of a Western, with the good guys getting rebuffed by hostile Indians and a final showdown with crude weapons set up in the barren hills. Julie Newmar's guest role as Eleen, wife of a former ruler and a pawn in the barbed politics between Kirk, Kras, and the Capellans, even has something of the frightened but stoic native princess about it. Viewers hoping to catch Newmar in a Capellan catsuit, however (an extension of her iconic, sleek presence as Catwoman in the old Batman TV series), will be sorely disappointed: Eleen is quite pregnant, fit to burst and placed in McCoy's capable hands. Trek stalwart Joseph Pevney directed this action-adventure piece, which contains one of the good doctor's most memorable utterances, spoken when Eleen expects McCoy to carry her up a steep hill: "I'm a doctor, not an escalator!" --Tom Keogh A heroic deed by Kirk on Capella IV proves to be his undoing when the Capellan natives and an interfering Klingon agent turn against him. TREK TRIVIA Julie Newmar (Eleen) was one of three actresses to portray Catwoman in the original Batman TV series. Another former Catwoman, Lee Meriwether, appeared in a third season Star Trek episode, as did fellow Batman alums Frank Gorshin (The Riddler) and Yvonne Craig (Batgirl). "Friday's Child" features a favorite Dr. McCoy quote- "I'm a doctor, not an escalator!" -and was the first Star Trek episode to show childbirth.

Brokedown Gospel

Austin-based singer/songwriter Grant Olney wears an interesting amalgam of influences on his sleeve on his full-length album debut. There's something Van Morrison-ish about his impressionistic, almost mystical, sometimes frankly weird songs; there's something Jay Clifford-ish about his sometimes tortured vowels; and there's more than a hint of the Smiths and the Cure in the general mopeyness of his melodies and lyrical outlook. But while these elements do tend to come across as affectations -- and slightly annoying ones at that -- there's something undeniably engaging about these songs. The title track's sludgy beat, twangy-shimmery guitars, and lugubrious trumpet are the perfect complement to Olney's lazy, gentle delivery; "Where Is Love" is subtly hooky, and sounds a bit like a cross between the Beatles and Half Japanese; by Olney's standards, the mid-tempo "Good Morning Lolly" is practically a rave-up, and its sweet romantic sentiments are no less charming for being just the slightest bit goofy. "Sweet Wine" is maybe just a bit overwrought, but most of the other songs keep things together more effectively. Overall, this is a surprising little gem of an album. ~ Rick Anderson, Rovi

Thief 3: Deadly Shadows

In Thief: Deadly Shadows, gamers once again take on the role of Garrett, a master thief. Garrett is rarely seen, never caught and capable of breaking into the most ingeniously secured places. Garrett steals from the wealthy and gives to himself, making his living in the dark and foreboding City. Preferring to be left alone to ply his trade, prophecies of an impending Dark Age dictate a different plan for the thief. In Garretts efforts to prevent this approaching Dark Age, he has inadvertently roused an ancient hidden evil. Without allies, Garrett finds himself standing alone between the City and the forces that would crush it. Features: Cutting Edge Stealth: Hide in the shadows, sneak past the guards or ambush them in the darkness Brand New Game Perspective: Cinematic Third Person and Classic Immersive First Person modes are both fully supported and can be changed on the fly during gameplay Action Gameplay: Breaking and entering, stealing, sabotage, evasion, espionage, combat, assassination and setting up ambushes Huge Arsenal of Thieves Tools: Including lock picks, a blackjack, arrows with numerous purposes, wall-climbing gloves, oil flasks, flash bombs and a dagger Advanced Artificial Intelligences: AI guards that see and hear, track evidence and suspiciousness, search for intruders, fight, give chase, and perform lip synching, facial expressions and hundreds of lines of real time dialogue Dynamic Lighting and Shadow System: Every character and object casts a real shadow that dynamically affects stealth gameplay. Dynamically manipulate lighting to create your own shadows, but make sure your own shadow doesnt betray you to those who hurt you From Warren Spector: Creator of the award winning series Deus Ex You play as Garrett, a master thief, who operates during dark times in The City. Crime and corruption are rampant, wealthy nobles prey on the poor, and magic and machinery coexist uneasily. As Garrett, you help the secret society of The Keepers who prophesize that the worst is yet to come. You'll use your skills to sneak into castles, mansions, prisons, cathedrals, dungeons, and museums, past armed guards, hired muscle, angry thugs, hideous monsters, and much worse to keep The City from unraveling.

You'll have a wealth of tools at your disposal, including lock picks, special arrows, wall climbing gloves and flash bombs.

Second Helpings from Union Square Cafe: 140 New Recipes from New York's Acclaimed Restaurant

The Union Square Cafe is consistently ranked New York City's favorite restaurant by the Zagat survey. Why? Superb yet relaxed food served in a setting both deluxe and friendly. Second Helpings from Union Square Cafe, the follow-up to the restaurant's proprietor Danny Meyer and chef-co-owner Michael Romano's Union Square Cafe Cookbook, offers readers 140 recipes for Union Square's popular fare--Italian-inflected "everyday" cooking taken to a higher, yummier, but completely cook-friendly power. Dishes like Butternut Squash and Bean Soup, Roasted Halibut Pugliese-Style, and Zucchini Pure with Marjoram exemplify the book's unique approach; simple in conception and easy to execute, they nonetheless pack flavor and style to burn. Chapters cover appetizers to desserts, with sections devoted to pasta and risotto and to side dishes and condiments, such as the restaurant's much-loved Olive Mashed Potatoes and Apple-Pear Chutney. Sweets like Butterscotch Pudding with Brown Sugar Sauce and Chocolate Pudding Flan should also keep diners happy. A word must be said about the photographs of Duane Michals, whose signature storytelling style (depicting, for example, a seated couple's response to a cell-phone-using table neighbor) wonderfully echoes the sweetly knowing tone of the restaurant itself. With a section on basic preparations, the book should become a trusted kitchen friend. --Arthur Boehm In the follow-up to the original Union Square Cafe Cookbook (which won a Julia Child Award for first book), Meyer and Romano offer more pleasant fare from the landmark New York restaurant where they are owner and chef, respectively. Many of these dishes are new interpretations that use classic Italian ingredients: Cornmeal-Crusted Ricotta Fritters are served with an anchovy dressing, and Frise Salad with Bottarga and Grapefruit makes piquant use of Italy's pressed fish roe. Some non-Italian flavors infiltrate here and there as well: Chili and Sage-Rubbed Salmon is Southwestern in style, while Sauted Shrimp Goan Style relies on cinnamon, cumin and other spices from India. Recipes which are divided into traditional chapters such as Appetizers and Main Courses are split approximately down the middle between complex projects that require a good deal of time in the kitchen (e.g., Zucchini Fazzoletti, homemade pasta with a pureed zucchini sauce) and relatively simple preparations (like Roasted Cauliflower with Tomato and Green Olives). Desserts like Fig and Walnut Crostata and Blueberry-Lemon Meringue Pie are appropriately rustic-modern, and wine suggestions for each dish are a nice touch. These recipes aren't filled with hard-to-find, exotic ingredients (aside from bottarga, which has cameos in a few), nor do offerings such as Michael's Garlic-Lemon Steak or Striped Bass with Tomato-Caper Sauce jolt the palate with surprising new sensations. The phenomenal, ongoing success of the Union Square Cafe itself proves just how appealing even simple and familiar foods can be when prepared with high-quality ingredients and adapted to American sensibilities. Duane Michaels provides b photos that narrate peculiar stories of hypothetical dining experiences in the restaurant. Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information, Inc. For the last five years, Union Square Caf has been voted the most popular restaurant in the New York City Zagat Survey; it has a national reputation far beyond Manhattan, and the Union Square Caf Cookbook has sold more than 80,000 copies. Here, owner/proprietor Meyer, who has opened several other successful restaurants, and longtime chef Romano offer more favorite recipes from their menu: Crabmeat-Artichoke Tortelli, Soft-Shell Crabs with Tomato Nage, Sage-Fried Rabbit, and other contemporary French/Italian-inspired dishes. Desserts are homier and comforting, e.g., Caramel Baked Apples and a selection of all-American cookies. Some fans of the restaurant will find the mini photo essays that run through each chapter amusing, while others will just find them silly. Recommended for most collections.

Danny Meyer, a native of St. Louis, opened his first restaurant, Union Square Cafe, in 1985 when he was twenty-seven, and went on to found the Union Square Hospitality Group, which includes some of New York City's most acclaimed restaurants: Union Square Cafe, Gramercy Tavern, The Modern, Maialino, North End Grill, Blue Smoke, and Shake Shack, as well as Jazz Standard, Union Square Events, and Hospitality Quotient.

Industrial Design: Reflection of a Century - 19th To 21st Century

Sweeping from the 1851 Crystal Palace exhibition in London to today's computer-aided design, this big, jazzy album explores the role of designed objects in our daily lives. Its 600 plates (about half in color) and 30 historical and analytical essays document a major exhibition in Paris. The eclectic, scholarly essays by a diverse group of academics, professionals and artists deal with the convergence of European and American design traditions, the survival of the craft idea, art deco's nostalgic appeal, the streamlining craze following WW I, the use of new materials, the symbolic significance of household appliances and the "biodesign" of cameras, cars and razors in shapes adapted to the human body. The text is punctuated with in-depth analyses of the Remington typewriter, the Singer sewing machine, the Barbie doll, the Walkman and other familiar products. De Noblet, director of the Centre de Recherche sur la Culture Technique in Paris, has created a fertile repository for browsing and serious study. Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc. Published to coincide with the Paris exhibition "Industrial Design, Mirror of the Century," this compilation of essays are as diverse as the products industrial design has formed. Essay topics include the history of industrial design, its evolution as a profession, design education at the Bauhaus and the Ulm School, ecology and design, and computers as a tool for industrial design. Some of the more illuminating essays are Jacques Guillerme's "Design in the First Machine Age," Mike Jones's "Biodesign," Martyne Perrot's "The Domestication of Objects," and Raymond Guidot's "New Materials in the Industrial Age." These essays, lavishly illustrated and interspersed with vignettes focusing on "design classics," provide a kaleidoscopic vision rather than a clear picture. The resulting impression is of a profession in continuous flux, adapting to the complex demands of consumers, corporations, aesthetic theory, and fashion. Highly recommended for all libraries.- Douglas G. Campbell, George Fox Coll., Newberg, Ore.Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc. Published in conjunction with a major Parisian exhibition, this sweeping and copiously illustrated survey of American and European industrial design from 1851 to the present explores the complex interaction between objects and culture. Essays by a host of specialists explore design innovations in terms of both aesthetics and the effects specific products have had on various aspects of our lives, from how we communicate and travel to the furnishings in our homes. As design "classics" such as Gillette razors, Singer sewing machines, Kodak cameras, and automobiles are highlighted, the authors reveal how such innovations shifted the very structure of society. Key design movements--Art Deco, the Bauhaus, and the Ulm school--are described, and issues such as the seemingly eternal conflict between aesthetics and profitability are insightfully discussed. As the text progresses from items such as light bulbs and radios to today's CD players and computers, it becomes clear that the pursuit of comfort and convenience has reached ever more sophisticated levels. Indeed, the design process itself has been altered and sped-up by the invention of CAD (computer-aided design) software, paving the way for yet more change and advancement. In all, an engrossing look at the art and business of product design, our time's most conspicuous accomplishment. Donna Seaman

The Invisible Princess

A couple who longs for a child; a mysterious "long ago" world of dangerous, unthinkable oppression and resuscitating natural forces; the emergence of a beatific girl child who must be spirited away before the evil antagonist can get her--all of these traditional fairytale plot elements are reinvented with distinction and life in Faith Ringgold's brand new African American "legend" The Invisible Princess. Most important, the title character in this conflict between a community of slaves and their evil plantation owner is instantly magical, and unforgettable. Born on a thunderous, stormy night, bearing saucer-shaped eyes and a burst of cornrows that extend from her head like sun rays, the enchanted Invisible Princess is so magnificently conceived that it makes the ensuing drama--which becomes almost biblical in its proportions--both gripping and conceptually possible. Children will instantly agree that the Invisible Princess is a very special young girl, and will care about and identify with her. For that reason they're likely to need significant hand-holding during two sharp turns in the tale: first, when the hero must endure separation from her parents in order to stay protected from the evil Captain Pepper; and second, when Pepper threatens to separate the princess's parents forever. Still, Ringgold's fantastic landscapes stay warm throughout, conveying the stupendous, hard-won resolve and embrace that occurs at story's end. --Jean Lenihan --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. For this allegory set in slave times, "Ringgold blends elements of fairy tale and American history in an evocative, if mystifying, picture book," said PW. Ages 6-10. Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. Grade 2-5-One day, the Great Lady of Peace visits Mama Love and tells her that she will have a beautiful daughter who will "bring peace, freedom and love" to the Village of Visible, where she and Papa Love reside. Wanting freedom from slavery for her child, Mama Love begs the Lady to hide the infant and keep her existence a secret from the slave master. When the baby is born, she is taken away, made invisible, and raised by the Great Powers of Nature, one of whom is the Great Giant of Trees, a tree with the face of a Native American, complete with headband, face paint, and braids. With the assistance of Patience, the plantation owner's blind daughter, and the Queen of the Bees, the girl eventually rescues her parents and the other slaves from their miserable existence. Ultimately, even the dreadful plantation owner Captain Pepper, looking like a benign Colonel Sanders, is forgiven. In most of the book, naive, lively paintings framed with narrow bands of color face pages of text set on brightly colored backgrounds. Because so many background colors are used and so many characters flow in and out of the pictures, the overall effect is somewhat disjointed. In general, the book is unsettling. Complicated and didactic, the melodramatic story is laden with confusing allegorical imagery and touches of whimsy.

Echoes of the title story in Virginia Hamilton's The People Could Fly (1985) reverberate through this original tale of a hidden child of slavery leading her people to freedom.

KitchenAid Black Burr Coffee Grinder

Way back in 1938, noteworthy industrial designer Egmont Arens put the finishing touches on the world's very first electric home coffee grinder. This was the KitchenAid A-9, a masterpiece of flowing curves in metal and glass which provided superb performance. Here we have the same inspired design enhanced with the technological advances of today. Store your beans in the glass hopper and grind only as much as you need. The rugged metal and glass design reduces the static charge and "cling on" effect problematic with plastic grinders. Please note: not recommended for use with flavored coffee beans.

Segment 2 Supersets and Triple Sets To focus on muscular endurance, this segment has exercises that are done in rapid succession with minimal rest periods. Body parts are grouped together in such a way to tax specific areas, to increase muscular endurance, and to promote overall body symmetry. Segment 3 Circuit Training The basic exercises from Segment One are done again, this time in rotation with only a very brief rest between the movements to increase the fat burning process, yielding a greater cardiovascular benefit. For the best results - do each segment several times a week for four weeks before moving on to the next, giving your body ample time to adapt to its new strength training regimen. By following this suggested routine, you will develop better form while getting three months of solid training for a great foundation to move on to even more challenging workouts.
