Paperback. Zustand: Good. If you are among the many who think of billions, or a hundred thousand, or tens of millions of years ago as all just a very very long time ago, The Big Bang to Now: All of Time in Six Chunks will be an enlightening surprise. Terry Sissons divides time into six chunks - fewer numbers than are in a telephone number - to create a review of the 13.7 billion years of all of time. The surprise is that learning just these six chunks can transform one's understanding of time from grand confusion to quite amazing clarity. The Big Bang to Now is not packed with dense pages detailing what scientists have learned about our past. These details are important, but learning too much detail before one sees the big picture often leads not to knowledge and understanding but to bewilderment. The Big Bang to Now tells the story of time in less than 100 key events, and with a large amount of reassuring white space. Each page describes just one important event, like the Big Bang, the creation of our solar system, the emergence of life on Earth, man's first appearance. A facing page bullets important points and ongoing questions that are alternatively fun, fascinating, and thought-provoking. As a result, the book leaves the reader with a coherent structure within which new discoveries and learning can be fitted into the larger context. It also makes it possible to answer many questions without looking up the answers at all. Questions like: -Did early man hunt dinosaurs? -Was the universe ever completely dark? -Where did the atoms and molecules that make up our bodies come from? -Did hunter-gatherer societies have writing? -When did we start to use the wheel? Or start to wear clothes? Or domesticate animals? -Will Earth ever have another Ice Age? If so, when will it happen? How long will it last? -Why are some animals extinct? What causes extinctions at all? Whether you think our past can help us make better decisions for our future, or want to decide if the discoveries of science deepens or contradicts religious belief, it's a book that reveals a sometimes baffling, sometimes brutal, always amazing universe. …

Paperback. Zustand: Good. They were friends for over fifty years--James Michener, best-selling author, and Herman Silverman, enterprising businessman. They had many things in common: Each had grown up without knowing his father, and they were both practical men who made their own way in the world.

As Michener moved into a glittering circle of celebrities, he brought along his friend, while Silverman provided a stable home base in Pennsylvania for the nomadic Michener. This is an intimate memoir of one of America's most celebrated writers, and a testament to a friendship that flourished for more than half a century. …

Paperback. Zustand: Good. 'An absolute page-turner' Mail on SundayDear Mr. M,I'd like to start by telling you that I'm doing better now. I do so because you probably have no idea that I was ever doing worse. Much worse, in fact, but I'll get to that later on.Mr. M is being watched. As a famous writer, he is no stranger to the limelight, although interest in his work has been dwindling of late. His print runs are smaller than they used to be, as are the crowds at his bookshop signings . . . Our narrator clearly takes a keen interest in M.'s work, and indeed in every aspect of his life. But what exactly are his intentions? And to what does Mr. M owe the honour of his undivided attention?Our narrator seems to be no stranger to murder, while his own story appears to bear more than a passing resemblance to the plot of Mr. M's most famous novel: a teacher has an affair with a student, only to be brutally murdered by the girl and her teenage boyfriend. The body is never found.That's the problem with fiction: in real life, bodies have an awkward habit of turning up. Mr. M has used some artistic licence, and our narrator is not pleased, not pleased at all. And just before he fades into obscurity, he's prepared to give Mr. M one last review. And it's unlikely to be a rave.Dear Mr. M is an unsettling and irresistibly readable literary thriller, set in the world of writing and bookselling, by Herman Koch, the author of the international bestseller, The Dinner.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. This great gift book combines wonderful stories and paintings from a writer/lawyer/artist and San Clemente resident/fisherman who loves its pier. His stories get better each time you read them. This outstanding gift book has six sections: 1. Pier and Pier Pals: pier incidents and pals; 2. The Search: observations of life by an old fisherman; 3. Politics: reflections of a politically savvy former public official; 4. Changing Times: noted changes by the passage of time; 5. Family: its importance; 6. Among Anglers: memorable fishing tales. Each section reveals the extraordinary talents of the artist/writer. Sillas is a native of Los Angeles and a former scholarship holder at the Otis Art Institute of Los Angeles. He put his art career on hold while attending UCLA to pursue a legal career. During the 1960s he defended Chicano activists and entered the political arena. In 1975 Governor Jerry Brown appointed Sillas to serve as the Director of DMV. President Jimmy Carter then appointed Sillas as United States Attorney for the Eastern District of California. He continued to paint and returned to the private practice of law in 1980. Sillas' move to San Clemente introduced him to the San Clemente pier. The openness and freedom he experienced there inspired him to write a monthly column he called a View from the Pier. As an award winning painter, Sillas' art work has been described as pictorial memories of a witness to social change. His writings convey more than that. He loves the pier and its gift of peacefulness, as he explores his cultural roots using an inquisitive attorney's mind, experienced eyes, and a pen that conveys emotion. Once you have read this gift book, you will no longer think of a pier as a walkway above the waves. It becomes a pathway of inspiration. Sillas, Herman (illustrator).…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. "I was born in 1944, but raised in the twelfth century." With that, Joanna Clapps Herman neatly describes the two worlds she inhabited while growing up as the child of Italian American immigrants in Waterbury, Connecticut, a place embedded with values closer to Homer's Greece than to Anglo-American New England, where the ethic of hospitality was and still is more Middle Eastern and North African than Anglo-European, and where the pageantry and ritual were more pagan Mediterranean than Western Christian. It was also a place where a stuffed monkey wearing a fedora sat and continues to sit on her grandmother's piano, and a place where, when the donkey got stubborn and wouldn't plow the field, her grandfather bit the animal in a fury. In essays filled with wry humor and affectionate yet probing insights, Herman maps and makes palpable the very particular details of this culture-its pride and its shame, its profound loyalty and its Byzantine betrayals.…
