Book Description
Maybe it's time for me to leave this crazy town, hightail it back to Minneapolis, and become a cat-collecting, fist-shaking, asexual English professor... Furious after being stood up by local hottie Johnny Leeson, Mira decides to abandon Battle Lake, Minnesota, where the women are churchgoers, the men like to hunt, and the body count is above average. But when a cheerleader bites the dust, Mira loiters long enough to snoop. Mira is highly suspicious of the New Millennium Bible Camp, a disturbing place with a Stepford Wives meets Hee Haw vibe. Before ditching Battle Lake, Mira is hell-bent on confronting her own demons and catching a killer. Praise: "Lourey’s mystery is hilarious, fast paced, and madcap."—Booklist (starred review) "Hilarious, wonderfully funny cozy."—CrimeSpree Magazine "Entertaining."—Library Journal "Another amusing tale set in the town full of over-the-top zanies who've endeared themselves to the engaging Mira."—Kirkus Reviews "“A fun, fast-paced mystery with a heroine readers will enjoy, even if her foibles are not entirely believable...3 stars."—The Mystery Reader "Lourey has a gift for creating terrific characters. Her sly and witty take on small town USA is a sweet summer treat. Pull up a lawn chair, pour yourself a glass of lemonade, and enjoy."—Denise Swanson, author of The Srcumble River Mystery series.

Book Description
This immensely likeable satire of the American civilizing mission in Okinawa was a phenomenon when it was published in 1951. The many-layered novel retains its charm and power today; beneath the comical mayhem that engulfs the village Tobiki we see the pitfalls and possibilities of cultural exchange and nation-building.

Welcome back to Hawk Island and the village of Two Brooks. While the sea slowly kisses the sand on the small beach of Saint Carlos, preparations for an Episcopal retreat begin while members of the Sacristy, a group of unconventional women who live in Two Brooks, set down a new path lined with quandaries and challenges. Angela Matias is a cunning, intelligent, and persistent spitfire who feels compelled to choose just one of the three men she loves. While Ascendida struggles with the concept of forgiveness and her desire to love a man not a boy, Nascimento continues to grapple with her voyeurism. As Madalena must either forget Saul and move on with her life or bring him back, Dona Mafalda yearns to be loved, but cannot trust love to be kind. As the women take it upon themselves to solve a centuries-long mystery, they once again find themselves questioning the rules and norms of their island and inescapably facing the consequences. In this third book of the Hawk Island series, members of the Sacristy must come to terms with decisions and actions that profoundly affect their lives.

Book Description
The far side of the Moon, also called the "dark side of the Moon" was unknown to humanity until the Luna and Lunar Orbiter pictures were returned to Earth. This wonderful book contains beautiful photographs and newly-assembled mosaic images of the far side of the Moon, cleaned of transmission, imaging stripes and processing artifacts by today’s computer technology. Byrne’s superb analysis documents the appearance of the features of the far side with beautiful pictures from Lunar Orbiter. Until now, the far side Lunar Orbiter photos have only been available with strong reconstruction lines, but appear here for the first time as complete photographs, unmarred by imaging and processing artifacts.
