Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Brimming with wit and heart, IRREVERSIBLE THINGS follows three decades in the life of author-qua-narrator Lisa and her charismatic Mormon family, from childhood to puberty to adulthood. From a young girl grappling with early friendships, first crushes, and a beloved neighbor's shocking murder, to a young woman beginning her own family, dealing with infertility, and caring for a father with Alzheimer's, this work expands our understanding of the novel form, weaving together memoir, fiction, and the fiction of remembering.In Lisa Van Orman Hadley's novel-through-stories IRREVERSIBLE THINGS, a family moves from a Florida beach town to a Utah mountain town, trading in a dark situation next door for life with their Mormon family and transitioning from surfing to skiing. Lisa Van Orman is also the lead character's name; she narrates all of these changes. Her family's stories are tight and composed, delivered with such gravity that they can stand on their own, though together they form a heartbreaking tale about growing up and growing into an understanding of your family.Thoughtful and funny, IRREVERSIBLE THINGS plays with the forms of short stories, novels, and memoirs, resulting in hybrid text that articulates change across a lifetime. Camille-Yvette Welsch, Foreword ReviewsThis hybrid approach is integral to the content--Van Orman Hadley's implicit and explicit interrogation of memory--as well as to the overall structure. Fans of Tim O'Brien's The Things They Carried, Sandra Cisneros' The House on Mango Street, and Justin Torres' We Are the Animals will also appreciate IRREVERSIBLE THINGS. But a fair warning: don't be fooled by the ease of this read or by the sheer joy of following this narrator into adulthood. The heartbreak catches you off guard with such force that you drop even your loudest, most intrusive questions. Rachel Rueckert, Columbia Journal.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Air Con is the new #1 bestseller from international award-winning investigative journalist Ian Wishart, breaking open the global warming debate into easily understood chapters that first explain the latest scientific discoveries and then explain the agenda behind the climate scare. Skeptical environmentalist recently described the groups pushing for action on global warming as the climate industrial complex, and Wishart's investigations back that up - big business and big Green stand to make billions from climate change by sucking taxes and fees from ordinary householders in the biggest transfer of wealth in world history. FROM THE BACK COVER: What you are about to read is the most up to date and easy to understand write-up on the global warming debate, and arguably the most important new book you'll read this year. That's because proposed new carbon cuts to be finalised this December are expected to eventually cost each household thousands in extra taxes and fees every year This is your money - don't you want to be sure the problem is real? Whether you currently believe global warming is caused by humans, or whether you have nagging doubts, you'll find Air Con is a compelling read. EARLY REVIEW COMMENTS: I started reading this book with an intensely critical eye, expecting that a mere journalist could not possibly cope with the complexities of climate science. But] the book is brilliant. The best I have seen which deals with the news item side of it as well as the science. He has done a very thorough job and I have no hesitation in unreserved commendation. - Dr Vincent Gray, UN IPCC expert reviewer Wishart delves into the science and statistics of anthropogenic climate change, only to discover the not-so-hidden agenda underlying the global warming scare. Air Con is a thorough summary of the current state of the debate, the science and the politics; it will be an important reference in any AGW skeptic's arsenal. - Vox Day, columnist, WorldNetDaily Air Con demonstrates, with hundreds of scientific references, that 'global warming' was not, is not and will not be a global crisis.The 'global warming' debate is not really a debate about climatology - it is a debate about freedom.I commend this timely book, which makes the scientific arguments comprehensible to the layman. - Christopher Monckton, Viscount of Brenchley, former adviser to Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Sam Coffey, introduced in the 2003 Clint Walker/Kirby Jonas novel Yaqui Gold (pronounced YAW-key) has barely recovered from the wounds given him by the war-like Yaqui Indians before, needing a stake to keep his Yaqui Gold Ranch going, he and Tom Vanse, his best friend and ranching partner, hire on to lead a group of archaeologists into the Santa Catalina Mountains, outside of Tucson, in search of a secret too astounding to reveal.High in the remotest reaches of the Catalinas, the expedition is camped one night when the earthquake of 1888 strikes, putting a mighty fear into them all. Yet the quake, in this case, is their friend, for it serves to open up the hidden cave they have been seeking, and here in this cave Sam Coffey and Tom Vanse discover a find so important that it will shake the greatest anthropological minds in the world. But there is one in the Santa Catalinas who believes that everything found in that cave belongs to him. And this one is stronger and fiercer than them all.This book was co-authored with actor Clint Walker, who came up with the plot while I did the writing. Creative differences caused us to split our partnership, and legal issues that continue cropping up have forced me finally simply to pull Clint's name off the cover. The thought makes me sad, because the book would not have existed without him, but sometimes evil has to win, simply for there to be peace.…
