Paperback. Zustand: Good. When Laura Pratt's long-distance partner of six years tells her 'it's over' at a busy downtown train station, she is sent reeling, the breakup having come out of the blue. Her partner, meanwhile, closes himself off, refusing to acknowledge Laura and her requests for explanation. In the following days, months, and then years, Laura struggles to make sense of this loss, alone and filled with questions. She mourns him and takes comfort in whatever reassurances she imagines the universe is sending her, and in identifying value for her ordeal under every rock she flips. Here, Laura bares her soul as she brings alive the ups and downs of heartbreak - the recalled highs of when the relationship was in full, mutual bloom, and the long-time lows of her solitary vigil for Sam. Seeking to understand this freefall and how so many before her survived it, she draws on forces across time and form and uncovers literary, philosophical, scientific, and psychological accounts of how we human beings fall in love in the first place, and why, when it ends, some of us take longer to get over it, or never do. Effortlessly, Laura Pratt weaves this background of cultural history with her own bracing story of heartbreak and loss, and offers the heartbroken some solace in the common experience. Imbued with Laura's longing, erudition, and hard-earned wisdom, Heartbroken dares to delve into this most universal of mortal ordeals perhaps the one that makes us the most human of all.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. It is becoming increasingly obvious that the United States needs reliable and inexpensive energy to propel our economy and protect our national security interests. Game Changers presents five research and development efforts from American universities that offer a cheaper, cleaner, and more secure national energy system. Drawing from the efforts of the MIT Energy Initiative (MITEI) and other leading university research centres, the book describes some of the energy innovations that will transform our future: natural gas from shales, solar photovoltaics, grid-scale electricity storage, electric cars, and LED lighting. For each of these innovations, the authors detail what is available today, what is near at hand, and what is on the horizon. In addition, they show how extreme energy reliability and performance demands put the United States military at the leading edge of driving energy innovations, and survey potentially game-changing energy technologies currently being put into use by the U.S. Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force, on base and in forward deployment.The more choices our laboratories put on the table, the less constrained we are in using them to reach the things we really care about--health, family, business, culture, faith, and delight. This is what game changers are ultimately about. …

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Charles Pratt grew up in a rural Tennessee farm family that taught him the values of working hard, while treating all people with respect. Honesty and integrity were the standard that he adopted from his parents. He came to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ just before entering college.

Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. The Little Book of Stars tells the story of stellar science and what the stars mean to us from a variety of perspectives. Beginning with the big picture;' the book moves through progressively more and more intimate views until we feel we can hold the stars in our hands, from which we can then throw them back to the sky to see our place among them. The book opens with a summary of the event that created our Universe, the Big Bang, and then goes on to describe the natures of the Big Bang's progeny, the stars-what they are, how they shine, and how they can live such immensely long lives. Approaching horne, it next examines the measures of the stars: where they are, how they are collected together from pairs to galaxies of billions, and how we learn of their individual properties. Yet closer, we look in depth at the Sun and at the physical differences among the stars, at the immense range of properties they possess. Finally, arriving at Earth, we see the signif- icance of the stars to human life, how we have used them to tell our stories and to find where we are in both space and time. v From this base, the book looks more closely at stellar details, concentrating on temporal phenomena-on stellar change-and on the observational base that helps set the stage for the theory that links them all together.
