Book Description
Stories of life, love, and laughter. In this storybook for adults, you will meet Silly Gunkle, Momo, Grantie, GiGi and Gramps—all adults, mind you, and all real-life characters. Phil, the storyteller, is a middle-aged pastor experienced in imparting spiritual wisdom, whose life is disrupted and forever changed by a precocious three-year-old named Naomi, his granddaughter and the book's central character. Thursdays with Naomi is a wonderfully readable reflection in which both Gramps and Naomi have something keenly important to say. It is a gift to all who have forgotten to make time lately to stand still, to laugh at themselves, or even to crazy-dance. If that's you, read this book slowly, and then listen more closely to this little child, and expect to be amazed. ------------------------------------ "This book gets four stars from me." — Dr. Tony Campolo, Professor Emeritus, Eastern University "These heartwarming, endearing, and oh-so-relatable vignettes from a pastor's relationship with his young granddaughter provide wise metaphors for how God views each of us." — Carol Kent, author, When I Lay My Isaac Down

Book Description
A journey through the otherworldly science behind Christopher Nolan’s award-winning film, Interstellar, from executive producer and Nobel Prize-winning physicist Kip Thorne. Interstellar, from acclaimed filmmaker Christopher Nolan, takes us on a fantastic voyage far beyond our solar system. Yet in The Science of Interstellar, Kip Thorne, the Nobel prize-winning physicist who assisted Nolan on the scientific aspects of Interstellar, shows us that the movie’s jaw-dropping events and stunning, never-before-attempted visuals are grounded in real science. Thorne shares his experiences working as the science adviser on the film and then moves on to the science itself. In chapters on wormholes, black holes, interstellar travel, and much more, Thorne’s scientific insights—many of them triggered during the actual scripting and shooting of Interstellar—describe the physical laws that govern our universe and the truly astounding phenomena that those laws make possible.

Doctor Thorne TV Tie-In with a foreword by Julian Fellowes
Author: Anthony TrollopePublisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0191088552
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 545
Book Description
Now adapted for ITV by Julian Fellowes, Doctor Thorne is the compelling story in which rank, wealth, and personal feeling are pitted against one another. The squire of Greshamsbury has fallen on hard times, and it is incumbent on his son Frank to make a good marriage. But Frank loves the doctor's niece, Mary Thorne, a girl with no money and mysterious parentage. He faces a terrible dilemma: should he save the estate, or marry the girl he loves? Mary, too, has to battle her feelings, knowing that marrying Frank would ruin his family and fly in the face of his mother's opposition. Her pride is matched by that of her uncle, Dr Thorne, who has to decide whether to reveal a secret that would resolve Frank's difficulty, or to uphold the innate merits of his own family heritage. The character of Dr Thorne reflects Trollope's own contradictory feelings about the value of tradition and the need for change. His subtle portrayal, and the comic skill and gentle satire with which the story is developed, are among the many pleasures of this delightful novel.
Liv's Alone
Author: Liv ThornePublisher: Hodder & Stoughton
ISBN: 1529344190
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
When Liv Thorne was in her twenties, and single, she would joke to friends that if Mr Right didn't come along she'd have to take matters into her own hands and have a child on her own. When she was still single in her thirties, it stopped being a joke and she started researching sperm banks and fertility clinics. Liv's Alone is an honest and hopeful memoir that captures the joy and the challenge that is parenting alone by choice. From dismantling the fairy tale story that we're fed from a young age and grieving the life you thought you were going to have, to buying sperm from Denmark and bringing a baby into the world. Guiding readers through the highs and lows with warmth, humour and understanding, Liv wants her book to be a little beacon of optimism for women who are in the same position she was in; late 30s, single and longing for a baby. This is Liv & Herb's story, but hopefully a version of it will be yours.
