Nothing is what it seems in the offbeat and out-of-the-way town of Eureka, California. Shrouded in fog and hidden behind a curtain of redwoods, this rundown mill town is home to a peculiar cast of characters, a unique homegrown horticultural industry, and one of the last bookstores in America.

No one is more surprised by the unlikely survival of the Firebreathing Dragon than Lewis Hartman, its newest owner. By the time his uncle Sy died and left the bookstore to Lewis, even the most ardent bibliophiles had abandoned printed books in favor of a charming and highly literate digital device called the Gizmo. Bookstores all over the country had closed their doors. But somehow, the Firebreathing Dragon has kept going.

Lewis and his wife Emily find themselves in the unlikely position of owning one of the last bookstores in America. But how has the Firebreathing Dragon managed to survive the death of the book? And if it isn’t keeping itself afloat selling books, what is it selling? Reporters, federal agents, and corporate executives out to salvage their own imperiled industries all converge on the bookstore to uncover its secrets. What they discover is a small town that has fallen under the spell of the Firebreathing Dragon’s unique offerings.

In her first work of fiction, bestselling author and bookstore owner Amy Stewart takes an offbeat and lighthearted look at small-town life and the future of that marvelous two thousand year-old communication device, the printed book.

Why are there increasing numbers of children experiencing depression, anxiety, aggression and other serious mental, emotional and behavioral problems? Mental health experts agree that this crisis is due largely to their lack of deep connectedness to parents and community. This crucial finding requires a major shift in societal attitudes and our treatment of children. In this book, you’ll learn:

• Important facts you need to know before and after having your baby
• Strategies to strengthen the emotional bonds with your child
• How to be a more conscious parent with your children
• New information to help you make informed decisions
• How raising our children with empathy and respect can positively affect society

No other parenting book is as comprehensive in its scope, from an overview of attachment theory and current child development research to practical strategies for everyday situations. Attached at the Heart is a vital blueprint for change that begins in the home.

High-profile Denver criminal defense lawyer Stephen Stepper accepts a retainer from a mysterious client he has only spoken to by phone and has never met in person. When someone tries to kill Stepper, he suspects it’s his mystery client and hires solo attorney Jackie Jax to find out who he is. What follows is a edgy thriller where nothing is black and white, no one is safe and tomorrow may never come.

If a new translation of Herodotus does not justify itself, it will

hardly be justified in a preface; therefore the question whether it was needed may be left here without discussion. The aim of the translator has been above all things faithfulness -faithfulness to the manner of expression and to the structure of sentences, as well as to the meaning of the Author. At the same time it is conceived that the freedom and variety of Herodotus is not always best reproduced by such severe consistency of rendering as is perhaps desirable in the case of the Epic writers before and the philosophical writers after his time: nor again must his simplicity of thought and occasional quaintness be

reproduced in the form of archaisms of language

De Prologo:

“En una ma?ana fr?a y h?meda llegu? por primera vez al inmenso pa?s de los Estados Unidos. Iba el steamer despacio, y la sirena aullaba roncamente por temor de un choque. Quedaba atr?s Fire Island con su erecto faro; est?bamos frente a Sandy Hook, de donde nos sali? al paso el barco de sanidad. El ladrante slang yanqui sonaba por todas partes, bajo el pabell?n de bandas y estrellas. El viento fr?o, los pitos arromadizados, el humo de las chimeneas, el movimiento de las m?quinas, las mismas ondas ventrudas de aquel mar esta?ado, el vapor que caminaba rumbo a la gran bah?a, todo dec?a: all right. Entre las brumas se divisaban islas y barcos. Long Island desarrollaba la inmensa cinta de sus costas, y Staten Island, como en el marco de una vi?eta, se presentaba en su hermosura, tentando al l?piz, ya que no, por falta de sol, a la m?quina fotogr?fica. Sobre cubierta se agrupan los pasajeros: el comerciante de gruesa panza, congestionado como un pavo, con encorvadas narices israelitas; el clergyman huesoso, enfundado en su largo levit?n negro, cubierto con su ancho sombrero de fieltro, y en la mano una peque?a Biblia; la muchacha que usa gorra de jockey, y que durante toda la traves?a ha cantado con voz fonogr?fica, al s?n de un banjo; el joven robusto, lampi?o como un beb?, y que, aficionado al box, tiene los pu?os de tal modo, que bien pudiera desquijarrar un rinoceronte de un solo impulso…”

The Canine Good Citizen test, introduced by the American Kennel Club in recent years, hardly requires a special course of training-designed to certify that a dog has basic obedience skills, the CGC consists of 10 simple exercises for the dog, from sitting “politely” for petting to walking on a loose leash to a down-stay with the owner 20 feet away. But passing the CGC is as good a goal as any in dog training, and the Volhards (he is coauthor, with Bartlett, of What All Good Dogs Should Know; she has made award-winning training films) do a wonderful job of arming the reader with skills, techniques and philosophies. Their discussions are succinct and sober: a remarkably cogent section about teaching specific postures (sit, heel, etc.) and practices is preceded by a concise discussion of managing stress while training; a “Pack Leader’s Bill of Rights” simplifies the often-clouded concept of pack theory; a schedule suggests the expected rate of progress. However, a “personality profile” aiming to help tell the reader which “drive” (prey, pack or defense) most motivates a given dog has pop appeal, but offers little beyond the obvious; you don’t need to be Konrad Lorenz to know what motivates your own dog.

“…purebred or mixed, with this book any dog can become a Canine Good Citizen…. The Volhards’…approach to training, which they call the Motivational Method,…is designed to do just that—motivate the owner and the dog. The Motivational Method is grounded on a thorough knowledge of how people learn and dog behavior. Since 1983 they have authored or co-authored four major books on dog training and teaching dog Obedience classes, and have produced four video tapes. I am…pleased that they have written this book on the Canine Good Citizen. I cannot think of anyone else who could have done a better job. This book contains everything the reader needs to know about training any dog to become a Canine Good Citizen. Still, there is much more—the book shares a wealth of insights for the beginner, as well as the experienced dog person. The book’s best feature is that it gives each person the means to tailor the training to the individual dog’s character and temperament. It thoroughly explains what makes dogs different and how these differences dictate the approach to training that needs to be taken.” –James E. Dearinger, AKC Vice President, Obedience

The American Kennel Club’s Canine Good Citizen program was developed to promote responsible dog ownership in a manner that would be easy for both dog and owner. Any book that promotes and encourages dog owners to participate is doing a public service, and this book does it well.

“This book is aptly named. Yes, every dog, both pure-bred dogs and mixed breeds, can be a good citizen if their owners care enough to make it happen. The key is to encourage dog owners everywhere to be responsible enough to make their dogs a pleasure to be around and able to handle most situations that they might be expected to encounter in everyday life.” –Robert H. McKowen AKC Vice President, Performance Events

Classic novel, in the original French. According to Wikipedia: “Alexandre Dumas, pere (French for “father”, akin to ‘Senior’ in English), born Dumas Davy de la Pailleterie (July 24, 1802 – December 5, 1870) was a French writer, best known for his numerous historical novels of high adventure which have made him one of the most widely read French authors in the world. Many of his novels, including The Count of Monte Cristo, The Three Musketeers, and The Vicomte de Bragelonne were serialized, and he also wrote plays and magazine articles and was a prolific correspondent.”

“Tariq Ramadan, a prominent intellectual-activist in Europe and America, represents a new generation of Islamic reformers.” –John L. Esposito, author of Unholy War and What Everyone Needs to Know about Islam
“Tariq Ramadan is a Muslim Martin Luther.”–Paul Donnelly, The Washington Post
“Ramadan’s most important message–his advice to Muslims in the West to make the West their home–is one Americans should particularly welcome.”–Alan Wolfe, The Chronicle of Higher Education
“Ramadan has started to pave out the road to reform and changes in the understanding of Islam in Muslim communities in the West.”–Le Monde Diplomatique
“Deliberately brief, sensible and accessible…. What I Believe is not just a summary of Ramadan’s own views but a primer on modern Western Muslim life.”–Publishers Weekly starred review

Tariq Ramadan is very much a public figure, named one of Time magazine’s most important innovators of the twenty-first century. He is among the leading Islamic thinkers in the West, with a large following around the world.  But he has also been a lightning rod for controversy. Indeed, in 2004, Ramadan was prevented from entering the U.S. by the Bush administration and despite two appeals, supported by organizations like the American Academy of Religion and the ACLU, he is still barred from the country at this time. In What I Believe, Ramadan attempts to set the record straight, laying out the basic ideas he stands for in clear and accessible prose. He describes the book as a work of clarification, directed at ordinary citizens, politicians, journalists, and others who are curious (or skeptical) about his positions. Aware that that he is dealing with emotional issues, Ramadan tries to get past the barriers of prejudice and misunderstanding to speak directly, from the heart, to his Muslim and non-Muslim readers alike. In particular, he calls on Western Muslims to escape the mental, social, cultural, and religious ghettos they have created for themselves and become full partners in the democratic societies in which they live. At the same time, he calls for the rest of us to recognize our Muslim neighbors as citizens with rights and responsibilities the same as ours. His vision is of a future in which a shared and confident pluralism becomes a reality at last.

In the mid sixties, homemaker Jan Birch maintains a tight circle of friends in her Upstate New York suburban neighborhood. When the divorcée down the street is murdered, the women attribute her death to a hobo they’d seen months before. Quickly, though, Jan begins to suspect that the hobo had left the neighborhood long before and the murderer may be one of her dear friends.

If you snicker at the notion of a book devoted to pet bereavement, consider that that very lack of sympathy may have brought the book into being. Sife, a Brooklyn, N.Y.-based psychotherapist and the founder of the Association for Pet Bereavement, addresses the pet owner whose grief at a pet’s death is largely misunderstood or even ridiculed by friends, associates and society in general. Although his topic easily lends itself to touchy-feely disquisitions, Sife is to be commended for offering information that is not only compassionate but concise, wide-ranging and, above all, practical. For example, he defines stages of grieving, interpolating case studies to demonstrate those instances where expressions of mourning mask deeper problems. He composes dignified rejoinders to those who launch a “perceived assault” on the reader’s grief; explains why the rupture of a human-animal bond can be so devastating; offers specific techniques for dealing with anger; explores the special needs of children whose pets die; presents various factors involved in considering euthanasia, including such particulars as whether or not it is beneficial to remain with the pet until its final breath; and polls leaders of various religions. A superb contribution to a growing field.
