Catch & Release (Carolrhoda Ya Ser.)
by Blythe WoolstonI should have died quick. But I didn't. I'm a miracle of modern medicine, only the medicine doesn't get much credit, I notice. People say I'm lucky, or I'm blessed, and then they turn away. I'm not the only miracle. There's Odd too. Polly Furnas had The Plan for the future. Get married to Bridger Morgan, for one. College, career, babies. Etc. All the important choices were made. It was all happily-ever-after as a diamond-ring commercial. But The Plan did not include a lethal drug-resistant infection. It did not include “some more reconstruction and scar revision in the future." And it certainly did not include Odd Estes, a trip to Portland in an ancient Cadillac to "tear Bridger a new one," fly fishing, marshmallows, Crisco, or a loaded gun. But plans change. Stories get revised and new choices must be made. Polly and Odd have choices. Surviving or not. Catch or release.

Celebrity in Death (In Death #34)
by J. D. Robb#1 New York Times bestselling author J.D. Robb knows that some roles are to die for... Lieutenant Eve Dallas is no party girl, but she's managing to have a reasonably good time at the celebrity-packed bash celebrating The Icove Agenda, a film based on one of her famous cases. It's a little spooky seeing the actress playing her, who looks as though she could be her long-lost twin. Not as unsettling, though, as seeing the actress who plays Peabody--drowned in the lap pool on the roof of the director's luxury building. Talented but rude and widely disliked, K.T. Harris made an embarrassing scene during dinner. Now she's at the center of a crime scene--and Eve is more than ready to get out of her high heels and strap on her holster to step into the role she was born to play: cop.

by Claire TomalinLa tumultuosa vida del mejor novelista inglés, maravillosamente escrita por la gran biógrafa Claire Tomalin. Con grabados, tres cuadernillos de fotos y mapas de la época. Como cualquiera de sus héroes de novela Charles Dickens sufrió hasta la saciedad. Nacido en una modesta familia de clase media, su vida dio un vuelco cuando encarcelaron a su padre y tuvo que ponerse a trabajar en una fábrica. Este hecho le sirvió para agudizar su visión de lo absurdo, de lo trágico de la vida en Londres. Periodista incisivo, padre de diez hijos, incansable paseante y viajero, defensor de las libertades sociales y por encima de todo... novelista, Charles Dickens fue un genio. . La prosa novelística de la biógrafa Claire Tomalin, profusamente documentada, nos ofrece en Charles Dickens el retrato de un escritor heroico y virtuoso, un hombre al mismo tiempo contradictorio y ruin en el bicentenario de su nacimiento. Reseñas:«Este libro es una biografía magnífica sobre un gran escritor...»William Boyd, The Observer «Perfecta en cada uno de los detalles históricos y perspicaz en las novelas, la magistral biografía de Claire Tomalin es enormemente valiosa por la visión que nos da del hombre más que del escritor.»The Guardian «Magistral.»The Telegraph «La cantidad de premios que tiene dan fe de su habilidad no sólo para retratar vidas sino también para hacer que los autores sobre los que habla cobren vida.»The Literary Review «Monumental.»The Times «Claire Tomalin tiene la rara habilidad de entretejer la capacidad de contar con la rigurosidad. Como biógrafa es inimitable.»The Independent «Compré este libro porque soy una seguidora incondicional de Dickens y este libro ofrece todo lo que una buena biografía debe contener.»Julia L. Simpsonurrutia, Amazon «Si nunca has leído nada sobre Dickens esta obra es la mejor manera de empezar.»Curtcon, Amazon «Desde el primer momento pensé que éste iba a ser un buen libro, bien documentado. No quería que terminase el libro porque me sentía muy unida a él, a su familia y a su historia. ¡Qué hombre tan extraordinario!»C. M. Mills, Amazon ***Mejor biografía según The Galaxy Awards 2011

Chemistry, AP* Edition
by Steven S. Zumdahl Susan A. ZumdahlThis fully updated Ninth Edition of Steven and Susan Zumdahl's CHEMISTRY brings together the solid pedagogy, easy-to-use media, and interactive exercises that today's instructors need for their general chemistry course. Rather than focusing on rote memorization, CHEMISTRY uses a thoughtful approach built on problem-solving. For the Ninth Edition, the authors have added a new emphasis on critical systematic problem solving, new critical thinking questions, and new computer-based interactive examples to help students learn how to approach and solve chemical problems--to learn to think like chemists--so that they can apply the process of problem solving to all aspects of their lives. Students are provided with the tools to become critical thinkers: to ask questions, to apply rules and develop models, and to evaluate the outcome. In addition, Steven and Susan Zumdahl crafted ChemWork, an online program included in OWL Online Web Learning to support their approach, much as an instructor would offer support during office hours. ChemWork is just one of many study aids available with CHEMISTRY that supports the hallmarks of the textbook--a strong emphasis on models, real world applications, visual learning, and independent problem solving.
