    Paperback. Zustand: Good. In Christian theology, a skandalon is a distraction from grace, a maze of error where we wander pointlessly, wasting our lives. To the ancient Greeks, a skandalon was the trigger of a trap. T.R. Hummer's labyrinthine new collection encompasses these meanings and more, as its poems take various paths to unexpected destinations.…

    Paperback. Zustand: Good. Loss and change lace our lives. Our reactions often destabilize or derail us. Both Chuck and I know loss and change. Thirty-one former dogs and places of residence are just some of the examples from our lives. Strangely, these events have spurred within us the motivation to write a practical, engaging and inspiring devotional book. I often squirmed in family devotions. The Bible was good, the prayers were sincere and the songs were great but.something was lacking. Dialogue and interaction were scarce. Our book is different. Our disclosures compel the reader to share and interact about his or her own life experience. Our book invites you to ponder and to reflect upon your own life's journey as we challenge you by asking some hard questions. At the center of our book is the person of Jesus Christ who has made meaning for us from compounded losses and far too many changes. Enjoy our work. Dawg Gone. Movin' On will bless your life Chaplain (COL)-R Harold T. Carlson.…

Two huge diamonds and two priceless rubies have been stolen from a museum in Paris. People in your own family have died trying to protect these jewels. Now, you must help your cousins Peter and Lucy do the same, but is it worth risking your life? Strangers offer help, even the police, but can you trust them? Remember, you control what happens next by turning to the page you choose. Molotawa looks at you for a moment, and then says, I am a prince of the ancient Nabooti tribe. We ruled a large region of Africa for many, many years before Africa was taken by European countries. We were fair and just. The jewels are a powerful symbol of our leadership. They have magic powers. We must have them back to continue our work. If you wish, you can meet my father, the king, here in Paris, or you can go now to Senegal where my people are. YOU choose what happens next. Kornmaneeroj, T.; Chanchareon, S. (illustrator).…

    Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. New York Times bestelling author T. R. Reid travels around the world to solve the urgent problem of America's failing tax code, unravelling a complex topic in plain English - and telling a rollicking story along the way. The U.S. tax code is a total write-off. Crammed with loopholes and special interest provisions, it works for no one except tax lawyers, accountants, and huge corporations. Not for the first time, we have reached a breaking point. That happened in 1922, and again in 1954, and again in 1986. In other words, every thirty-two years. Which means that the next complete overhaul is due in 2018. But what should be in this new tax code? Can we make the U.S. tax system simpler, fairer, and more efficient? Yes, yes, and yes. Can we cut tax rates and still bring in more revenue? Yes. Other rich countries, from Estonia to New Zealand to the UK--advanced, high-tech, free-market democracies--have all devised tax regimes that are equitable, effective, and easy on the taxpayer. But the United States has languished. So byzantine are the current statutes that, by our government's own estimates, Americans spend six billion hours and $10 billion every year preparing and filing their taxes. In the Netherlands that task takes a mere fifteen minutes Successful American companies like Apple, Caterpillar, and Google effectively pay no tax at all in some instances because of loopholes that allow them to move profits offshore. Indeed, the dysfunctional tax system has become a major cause of economic inequality. In A Fine Mess, T. R. Reid crisscrosses the globe in search of the exact solutions to these urgent problems. With an uncanny knack for making a complex subject not just accessible but gripping, he investigates what makes good taxation (no, that's not an oxymoron) and brings that knowledge home where it is needed most. Never talking down or reflexively siding with either wing of politics, T. R. Reid presses the case for sensible root-and-branch reforms with a companionable ebullience. This affects everyone. Doing our taxes will never be America's favorite pastime, but it can and should be so much easier and fairer.…
