Book Description
The pendulum is a constant source of interest to scientists. Great and well-known inventors such as Galileo, Huygens, and Kelvin all devised mechanisms to maintain its even oscillations. Others such as John Harrison, Lord Grimthorpe, and William Shortt are known only in horological circles but contributed as much or more over three centuries. By writing a personal account of his own inventions and achievements in horology the author involves the reader in the history of precision time-keeping before the advent of atomic clocks and the quartz chip. Escapements, the mechanisms that drive pendulums, are a delight to the geometrical mind as well as a delicate and subtle challenge to the mechanical engineer. In their most refined form pendulum clocks not only keep astonishingly accurate time they are also sensitive enough to detect the ebb and flow of tides and even the ceaseless quivering of the Earth itself. Philip Woodward's deep knowledge of and passion for time-keeping mechanisms is evident throughout this highly readable and fascinating account of precision horology.

Book Description
The National Book Award Finalist and New York Times bestseller that became a guide and balm for a country struggling to understand the election of Donald Trump "A generous but disconcerting look at the Tea Party. . . . This is a smart, respectful and compelling book." —Jason DeParle, The New York Times Book Review When Donald Trump won the 2016 presidential election, a bewildered nation turned to Strangers in Their Own Land to understand what Trump voters were thinking when they cast their ballots. Arlie Hochschild, one of the most influential sociologists of her generation, had spent the preceding five years immersed in the community around Lake Charles, Louisiana, a Tea Party stronghold. As Jedediah Purdy put it in the New Republic, "Hochschild is fascinated by how people make sense of their lives. . . . [Her] attentive, detailed portraits . . . reveal a gulf between Hochchild's 'strangers in their own land' and a new elite." Already a favorite common read book in communities and on campuses across the country and called "humble and important" by David Brooks and "masterly" by Atul Gawande, Hochschild's book has been lauded by Noam Chomsky, New Orleans mayor Mitch Landrieu, and countless others. The paperback edition features a new afterword by the author reflecting on the election of Donald Trump and the other events that have unfolded both in Louisiana and around the country since the hardcover edition was published, and also includes a readers' group guide at the back of the book.

Book Description
The intimate, private, and heart wrenching stories told in this book, the first of its kind in Australia, will penetrate the hearts and souls of even the most hardened reader. Told with incredible dignity and humility, each of the individual and deeply personal stories recounted is a powerful testimony to the gross inhumanity and brutal capacity of white people in Australia - colonists who selectively destroy and humiliate, without remorse, the lives and souls of their fellow black Australians. In Our Own Right: Black Australian Nurses' Stories provides a powerful catalyst for questioning and calling into question the taken-for-granted humanity of us all.

Don't rush on anything. If the time is right, it will happen. Rae I've always known I was meant to get out of the dead-end side of town where I was born. Trevor is my plan. He's from the right side of the tracks and I always knew he was going somewhere, so I want to hang on for the ride. But if I'm going to impress an experienced, wealthy guy and convince him I'm a keeper, I need to be more confident, and definitely not a virgin. That's when I turn to Sam. My best friend for as long as I can remember, Sam has always been there for me, and I hope he will again. One night with him and I'll be ready for Trevor. Only, when that one night is over, I'm not sure about my plan anymore. Sam I've loved Rae since the day I met her, I just never told her. We've been by each other's sides through everything and watched as each other struggled to find our way in our hometown. I can't blame her for wanting more. But I hate to see her with that guy. He's everything I've always hated about the rich guys from high school and now he's got his hands on Rae. Our arrangement seems like the perfect opportunity, until I realize I might not only lose the love of my life, but my best friend also.

Book Description
In the far-distant future, a long and brutal war of independence between Ptolem and its colonial planet, Osiron, has ended. Their civilizations are building a new future and are a still-fragile alliance. Two former enemy warriors, the Ptolemii High Commander Pyke and the Osiron Prince Vin-Chay, whose unexpected passion and sacrifice were the cornerstones to the final peace, live in serenity with their families. Integral to both civilizations, the men have spent years helping to socially and politically redefine their worlds. They are unaware that hidden enemies-fueled by personal hatred and secret agendas with a longtime thirst for power and revenge-have targeted them for destruction. Their enemies conceived a devious, deadly plan that has both personal and societal ramifications that will destroy the fragile alliance and any hope for the future. The evil that stalks these men and their loved ones has no concept of the true strength and determination of these warriors who will let nothing stand in the way of reclaiming their families and ending the pernicious threat. The final showdown between good and evil explodes in a fiery confrontation that will seal their fates for millennia to come.
