Book Description
Love is the spirit of humanity, but can one love a spirit? Julius, a bookstore attendant, is certain of his undying love for a spiritual apparition. However, she is now gone, deceased from this world for centuries, so how can he pursue someone that no longer exists in the world of the living? His answer is to create her from within. If he cannot find the one he loves, then seeing her again through artistic expression will be his only salvation. Yet, Julius himself is no artist, so who can guide him on this journey? Laura, his colleague who has recently endured the anguish of a bitter breakup, finds solace in Julius’s presence. As a talented artist she guides Julius in his journey to find the beauty that lies within his emotions. As she watches Julius develop into the artist that parallels herself, she grows closer to him and forms an attachment that gives her the bond that gives meaning to her life. But unbeknownst to Laura, the object of Julius’s desire lies elsewhere, in a sphere beyond even her artistic thoughts. Will Julius’s journey continue endlessly without resolve? And will it be another cycle of anguish for Laura? Or maybe love and understanding can still find a way to connect them together.

Book Description
The Big One and what we can do to get ready for it. Mention the word earthquake and most people think of California. But while the Golden State shakes on a regular basis, Washington State, Oregon, and British Columbia are located in a zone that can produce the world's biggest earthquakes and tsunamis. In the eastern part of the continent, small cities and large, from Ottawa to Montréal to New York City, sit in active earthquake zones. In fact, more than 100-million North Americans live in active seismic zones, many of whom do not realize the risk to their community. For more than a decade, Gregor Craigie interviewed scientists, engineers, and emergency planners about earthquakes, disaster response, and resilience. He has also collected vivid first-hand accounts from people who have survived deadly earthquakes. His fascinating and deeply researched book dives headfirst into explaining the science behind The Big One -- and asks what we can do now to prepare ourselves for events geologists say aren't a matter of if, but when.
