Book Description
In this unusual book, Dr. Padwee and his collaborator Moolman, an author and documentary scriptwriter, combine personal experiences drawn from the former's many years as a New York City veterinarian specializing in Felis catus with much information about cats ('A cat has one hundred thirty thousand hairs per square inch on its belly') and cat care ('Have you brushed your cat's teeth lately'). They describe various breeds of cats, from domestic shorthair to Burmese and the exotic Korat, and give facts about feline afflictions, ranging from fleas to leukemia, including a chapter on zoonoses, diseases that can be passed from animals to people; while relating stories, both amusing and touching, about individual patients and their people--perhaps most notably a multilived puss named Pawline (after the heroine in a silent movie melodrama titled The Perils of Pauline) and the Simpsons, a wealthy family with 6 children and 22 cats who regularly reserved 16 train compartments to transport everyone to Florida for the winter. Make room on the pet shelves for this one. - Barbara Duree; 240p - YA: Fun and informative for teen cat lovers. BD-

On a dark cold night, when wind whips the trees A hero will fall, and lose in the fight Danger will then close in Darkness will seem to prevail and win And when all hope is lost When the hero fought and paid the cost Twelve full moons from tonight, on the planet from which they came Two will ride as one and win the fight One side will fall and the other lives It is up to the two to see what side gives. This prophecy swirls over the heads of Violet, Skye, Vicky, and Marilyn in The Triangular Universe, tangling them in its various possible meanings. As they travel through the lands of NarSchophia, Orpha, and Zarph, meeting exotic creatures they never dreamed existed, they know it is looming ever closer: the battle of which the prophecy speaks, and inevitably, the loss of a life. Triumph is around the corner, but for which side?

Book Description
The Third Book of Joy: Chain Dance is the second notebook of family lore, the collection of Joy's magical stories about her enslaved ancestors, researched by Professor Bo Wolfson in Burning Streams; the first notebook was published in Blood of Angels. When Heaven's heartbroken death in childbirth and Whip Man's torture at her father's hands lead her to resurrect herself as a death dancer, magic and terror drive the plantation's owner off of his land. Most of the men and women who labor on the haunted plantation flee, following Heaven's brother to his Louisiana swampland. But not everyone runs. A winged angel, a dancing coven of witches, a shapeshifting wildcat, and a ferocious pack of werewolves defend Solace's plantation from attack. Marauding patrollers and opportunists clash with the cunning, the blood thirst, and the supernatural powers unleashed by women determined to free themselves and the men and children they love.
