Book Description
From Michael Ondaatje: an electrifying novel, by turns thrilling and deeply moving—one of his most vividly rendered and compelling works of fiction to date. In the early 1950s, an eleven-year-old boy boards a huge liner bound for England. At mealtimes, he is placed at the lowly "Cat's Table" with an eccentric and unforgettable group of grownups and two other boys. As the ship makes its way across the Indian Ocean, through the Suez Canal, into the Mediterranean, the boys find themselves immersed in the worlds and stories of the adults around them. At night they spy on a shackled prisoner—his crime and fate a galvanizing mystery that will haunt them forever. Looking back from deep within adulthood, and gradually moving back and forth from the decks and holds of the ship to the years that follow the narrator unfolds a spellbinding and layered tale about the magical, often forbidden discoveries of childhood and the burdens of earned understanding, about a life-long journey that began unexpectedly with a sea voyage.

Book Description
“It’s official. That thing that classic art has been missing is a chubby reclining kitty.” —The Huffington Post Internet meme meets classical art in Svetlana Petrova’s brilliant Fat Cat Art. Featuring her twenty-two-pound, ginger-colored cat Zarathustra superimposed onto some of the greatest artworks of all time, Petrova’s paintings are an Internet sensation. Now fans will have the ultimate full-color collection of her work, including several never-before-seen pieces, to savor for themselves or to give as a gift to fellow cat lovers. From competing with Venus’s sexy reclining pose (and almost knocking her off her chaise lounge in the process) in Titian’s Venus of Urbino, to exhibiting complete disdain as he skirts away from God’s pointing finger in Michelangelo’s Creation of Adam, Zarathustra single-handedly rewrites art history in the way that only an adorable fat cat can.

Book Description
***Author's 2019 Revised Edition*** THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS OF CATS CRAZED WITH BLOODLUST A giant Doberman pinscher--the most vicious and deadly of killer dogs—lay in a bloody heap, its unseeing eyes still glazed with astonished terror. A young dropout on an acid trip smiled at the animals that were ripping his flesh from his bones—until he realized that this was really happening. What was left of a kindly old lady lay beside the shattered saucer of milk she had intended to put on the ground. A powerfully built rapist in the midst of his outrage felt the claws on his back—and his lust turned to gibbering agony. All over the vast city it was happening and no one seemed able to stop them—the police, the army, the scientist. And cat after cat was infected by the ferocious fever that for the first time made them the masters of man… THE CATS

Book Description
Cats and Conservationists is the first multidisciplinary analysis of the heated debate about free-roaming cats. The debate pits conservationists against cat lovers, who disagree both on the ecological damage caused by the cats and the best way to manage them. An impassioned and spirited conflict, it also sheds light on larger questions about how we interpret science, incorporate diverse perspectives, and balance competing values in order to encourage constructive dialogue on contentious social and environmental issues. On one side of the cat debate stand many environmentalists, especially birders and conservation organizations, who believe that outdoor cats seriously threaten native wildlife. On the other side are many animal welfare advocates, who believe that outdoor cats generally do not pose a major ecological threat and that it is possible for cats and wildlife to coexist. They believe that it is possible, mainly through trap-neuter-return projects (TNR), to keep free-roaming cat populations in check without killing large numbers of cats. Careful analysis suggests that there remain important questions about the science on both cat predation and TNR effectiveness. Yet both sides of the conflict insist that the evidence is clear-cut. This false certainty contributes to conflict between conservationists and cat lovers, and obscures common goals that could generate constructive discussions and collaborative efforts among scientists, policymakers, conservationists, and animal welfare advocates. Cats and Conservationists aims to facilitate such collaboration in order to manage outdoor cats and minimize the damage they cause. It also offers models for constructive debates about the public role of science in other polarized public conflicts over science and environmental topics.

Book Description
In this second installment of The Witness Chronicles series, Dr. Josef and his researchers continue to unlock the mysterious origins of the cache of ancient tablets and artifacts found in the caves of Mount Ebal in Israel. The latest translation transcripts reveal the writer of the Biblical Table of Nations found in the Genesis, chapters Ten and Eleven, to be none other than Nobal, the son of Shem and Grandson of Noah, who was selected for this mission at the Summit on Ararat. Meanwhile, the sudden disappearance of millions of people from around the world continues to baffle scientist and evade every scientific explanation possible until a mysterious figure shows up in the office of the Secretary General of the UN and reveals to him the nature of the disappearances. But the explanation is so unbelievable, the Secretary General dares not reveal the truth to the world without weeks of preparation to ready them for this shocking news. Ken Helsley lives in Austin, Texas. He has two sons and one granddaughter. He is a veteran of the United States Navy and has spent most of the last 20 years in the Human Resources and Organizational Consulting field. Ken has an insatiable desire to know God and lean everything he can about the Father of all Creation. He has an incredible storehouse of research about the book of Genesis and has studied Biblical history exhaustively for over twenty years. Ken currently divides his time between his passion for writing about biblical characters and events and running his own business.
