### Instruction: retrieve labels for this product: Eamon De Valera: The Man Who Was Ireland /SEP/ Thorough, incisive, and wryly eloquent, this biography gives a sweeping portrait of a true legend. "It is impossible to understand Ireland today without reading this unblinking version of the Eamon De Valera story."

### Instruction: retrieve labels for this product: Italian Classics in One Pot /SEP/ The robust flavors of Venice, Florence and other Italian cities come alive in more than 100 recipes designed for the American table by the author of The Wonderful World of Pizzas, Quiches & Savory Pies (1996). Hearty enough to be a meal themselves, these soups, roasts and pizzas require only one pot or pan. Some recipes rely on inexpensive ingredients (e.g., chicken livers, potatoes, dried beans), while others call for pricier specialty items (baby lamb, Pecorino cheese, porcini mushrooms, Cognac). The full spectrum of Italian tastes is here. The Moors introduced Sicilians and Southern Italians to cinnamon, raisins and honey, and Sweet and Sour Pork Chops with Sugar Snap Peas embraces this heritage. Other less expected dishes include Braised Duck with Olives and Chick Peas, which calls for hot pepper flakes, and Rice Casserole with Pork, Zucchini and Clams. Surprisingly, there are only two recipes for risotto (Shrimp and Asparagus; Chicken and Rice, Italian-Style), a versatile dish that is both one-pot and Italian. Nevertheless, Wild Mushroom and Chestnut Soup; Salmon Pie with Marsala and Smoked Mozzarella; and the festive Venetian Stuffed Duck, with soppressata salami, are likely to awaken American palates to fresh Italian pleasures.Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc. ### Answer: <The Random House Book of Shrubs>, <¡Buenas noches, Dora!

### Instruction: retrieve labels for this product: A Wing and a Prayer: The "Bloody 100th" Bomb Group of the U.S. Eighth Air Force in Action over Europe in World War II /SEP/ Crosby "did everything wrong" on his first WW II mission as navigator in a B-17 crew, but soon demonstrated a natural talent that elevated him to the position of navigator of a bomb group. This meant he was responsible for assembling as many as 2000 warplanes from various bases in England, leading them to their targets, then guiding the air crews home. The casualty rate was frightful, and Crosby here describes how he accomplished his intricate work despite growing fears of death or maiming. Anecdotes abound in these incident-rich pages, some funny, others cruel, like the tale of how a crew rid itself of an obnoxious member by convincing him that their plane had been hit so seriously that they had to bail out, and he alone did--over Germany. Written from the unusual perspective of a navigator, this is a compelling account of the air war against Germany. Crosby, now retired, is former director of Harvard's Writing Center.

### Instruction: retrieve labels for this product: The Bread Book: More Than 200 Recipes and Techniques for Baking and Shaping Perfect Breads, Sweet and Savory Muffins, Rolls, Buns, Biscuits, and Piz /SEP/ Oppenneer has been teaching bread making for more than 30 years, and her experience and expertise are readily apparent in this thorough guide. Her descriptions of techniques are excellent and authoritative but unintimidating. The sections on equipment and ingredients are equally good, and the recipes are wide-ranging and mouthwatering. She includes lots of unusual ethnic specialties, many from Scandinavia and middle Europe as well as good old American Parker House Rolls and other classics. Joe Ortiz's The Village Baker ( LJ 12/92) and Daniel Leader and Judith Blahnik's Bread Alone ( LJ 10/15/93), both important titles, are for the dedicated bread baker; Oppenneer's book will tempt any cook who likes to bake.

### Instruction: retrieve labels for this product: The Lincoln-Douglas Debates: The First Complete, Unexpurgated Text /SEP/ Those who have read the debates between Lincoln and Douglas that took place during the 1858 Senate race in Illinois may not have read what was actually said. The authenticity of the texts has always been in dispute, with the political presses of the day polishing the prose of their candidate and Lincoln himself publishing a sanitized version two years later. The editor of this volume (coeditor, with Mario Cuomo, of Lincoln on Democracy , LJ 10/15/90), claims to present the first authentic texts of the seven confrontations. Interspersed are shouted comments from the crowds, background on the sites, and renditions of how the debates may have appeared. What emerges is a vivid, boisterous picture of politics during our most divisive period: the dull ineloquence of Lincoln and his interplay with hecklers, the blatant bigotry and slashing humor of Douglas, and the small degree to which campaigning has changed in 135 years. This fresh, fascinating examination of a significant step in our march toward the Civil War deserves a place in all American history collections.

### Instruction: retrieve labels for this product: Take It Like a Man: The Autobiography of Boy George /SEP/ The British pop band Culture Club produced a string of mid-1980s hits like "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me" and "Karma Chameleon," but the provocative, campy persona of frontman Boy George always attracted more attention than the band's music itself. Characterized by his droll wit, elaborate makeup and bizarre, gender-bending dress, Boy George took pop-star iconography to new heights of outlandishness and was a worldwide media darling until his drug habit all but destroyed his career. In this highly entertaining autobiography, the singer details with wit and pathos his working-class childhood as the self-dubbed "pink sheep" of a large suburban family, his teenage fascination with and emulation of glam-rock icons like David Bowie and Marc Bolan, his years as a London punk scenester, his jet-setting life as a pop celebrity and his painful descent into and recovery from heroin addiction. At times rambling and disjointed, this is nevertheless a compelling portrait of an individual who, by publicly celebrating his kinks and quirks, parlayed his alienation from mainstream British culture into a highly successful career. Bright is a London-based journalist. Photos not seen by PW.

### Instruction: retrieve labels for this product: Four-Star Desserts /SEP/ "I bake desserts because it makes people happy to eat them," explains Luchetti (Stars Desserts), former pastry chef at San Francisco's Stars restaurant. The 150 sophisticated, unfussy recipes here will make people happy twice over?as they cook and as they eat. Luchetti believes a dessert should have only three primary flavors, and she creates intriguing flavor combinations such as Pineapple Banana Compote with Mango Sauce; Warm Bittersweet Chocolate Tartlets with Spiced Almonds; and Raspeberry Lemon Buttermilk Pie. Of note is the organization of recipes, most of which are arranged by principal ingredient into such chapters as "Citrus and Tropical Fruits," "Summer Berries" and, of course, "Chocolate." Luchetti's range is extensive, embracing the elegant and inventive (Triple-Striped Chocolate Semifreddo with Chocolate Caramel Sauce; White Chocolate Mousse with Raspberries; and White Chocolate Raspberry Brittle), the light (Souffleed Crepe with Mixed Berries), the time-consuming (Mocha Hazelnut Torte) and the simple (Peach Blackberry Cobbler; Bing Cherry Dumplings).

### Instruction: retrieve labels for this product: "The Adventures of Maqroll: Four Novellas : Amirbar/the Tramp Steamer's Last Port of Call/Abdul Bashur, Dreamer of Ships/Triptych on Sea and Land" /SEP/ First met in the 1992 novel bearing his name, Maqroll, the nomadic, globe-hopping protagonist of these four inventive and hypnotic novellas, is a defiant wanderer living on the edge of society, a cynical misanthrope possessed of an innate core of goodness. With each new outlandish exploit, he seems to renegotiate his pact with fate or destiny, making of his life a daring existential adventure. In Amirbar, Maqroll digs for gold in a cursed, abandoned Peruvian mine and is nearly burned alive in his sleep by his lover and partner, Antonia, who goes mad. The Tramp Steamer's Last Port of Call charts the doomed love affair of 24-year-old Warda, the emancipated daughter of Lebanese ship-owner Abdul Bashur, and a 50-ish Basque sea captain whose tramp steamer sinks off Venezuela. Abdul Bashur, Dreamer of Ships follows the ship-owner's obsessive search for the perfect freighter, as well as his exploits with Maqroll, who helps him smuggle Persian carpets and transport Muslim refugees from the former Yugoslavia to Mecca. Triptych on Sea and Land is about the serene suicide of an eccentric Norwegian fisherman; a Madrid painter of angels and otherwordly realities; and Maqroll's year with the precocious son of Abdul, recently killed in a plane crash. Columbian-born Mutis, who lives in Mexico, dizzyingly evokes a cosmopolitan realm where continual change is the only constant.Copyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc. ### Answer: <Chiggers>

### Instruction: retrieve labels for this product: Andrew Wyeth: A Secret Life /SEP/ Andrew Wyeth's achievement is unmatched by other modern American realist painters: he produced canvasses that became American icons, deepening our sense of the possibilities of representational painting in an abstract age. This biography, produced by family friend Richard Meryman, who first wrote about Wyeth forLifemagazine in 1964, takes in not only Andrew Wyeth's life but three generations of Wyeths: the peerless illustratorN. C. Wyeth, Andrew's father; Andrew Wyeth; and Jamie, Andrew's son and a successful realist painter in his own right. The "Secret Life" of the title refers in part, of course, to the "Helga" paintings, sketches, drawings, and portraits (many of them in the nude) of Wyeth's neighbor, later his companion and assistant, Helga Testorf. The revelation of the "Helga" series gave the married Wyeth's life, at almost 70, a final dose of drama. This new biography, besides delving deeply into Wyeth's personal life, includes long discussions of almost every Wyeth canvas. ### Answer: <Hold the Dream>, <The New Metaphysicals: Spirituality and the American Religious Imagination>, <Rethinking Context: Language as an Interactive Phenomenon (Studies in the Social and Cultural Foundations of Language)>, <Geometry and Topology for Mesh Generation (Cambridge Monographs on Applied and Computational Mathematics)>, <How to Be Like Jesus: Lessons for Following in His Footsteps>, <STRATEGIES FOR CONTENT AREA LEARNING: VOCABULARY*COMPREHENSION*RESPONSE W/ CD ROM>, <Systematic Theology, Vol. 4: Church/Last Things>, <When Tomorrow Comes (Canadian West #6)>, <Total Devotion: 365 Days to Hang Tight with Jesus>, <Why Revival Tarries>, <Origami : 30 fold-by-fold projects>, <Grace for the Good Girl: Letting Go of the Try-Hard Life>, <"Parousia: The New Testament Doctrine of Our Lord's Second Coming">, <Wonder of Wonders: A Cultural History of Fiddler on the Roof>, <Pueblo Architecture and Modern Adobes: The Residential Designs of William Lumpkins>, <Animal Healing Power>, <"Reaching Olympus: Teaching Mythology Through Reader's Theater Plays, The Greek Myths: The Trojan War Including the Iliad and the Odyssey (A Textbook for Teaching Greek Mythology)">, <A Genius For Murder: A Play in Three Acts>, <Farmhouse, The: New Inspiration for the Classic American Home>, <NCLEX-RN Exam Essentials Review (Book with CDROM)>, <Mary Tudor: The Tragical History of the First Queen of England>

### Instruction: retrieve labels for this product: Scottie the Daughter Of...: The Life of Frances Scott Fitzgerald Lanahan Smith /SEP/ The only child of F. Scott Fitzgerald and his wife, Zelda, Frances Scott Fitzgerald (1921-1986), nicknamed Scottie, was a Washington Post columnist, playwright, composer and producer of musicals and a Democratic Party insider. This harrowing biography by her daughter shows that Scottie adored her alcoholic father but felt oppressed by his celebrity. Blocking out her mother's descents into insanity, Scottie, as depicted here, developed into a maddeningly controlling person who manipulated her four children until they were driven to rebellion. One son, Tim, shot himself in 1973 after years of mental instability. In an alternately touching and plodding narrative, Lanahan, an artist and illustrator, describes her power struggles with a mother whom she resented for her self-preoccupation, her heavy drinking and her hasty remarriage in 1967 to Grove Smith after divorcing lawyer Jack Lanahan. By generously quoting from Scottie's unpublished and unfinished 74-page memoir as well as from letters, diaries and interviews, Lanahan sheds new light on the tumultuous Fitzgerald family saga.

### Instruction: retrieve labels for this product: The Night Listener: A Novel /SEP/ Many years ago, when the first volume ofTales of the Citywas going to press, Christopher Isherwood compared its author's narrative gifts to those of Charles Dickens. This has proven to be the blurb of a lifetime, an ever-renewable currency appearing on almost all of Armistead Maupin's subsequent books. Yet it has held up well--Dickens's gentle satire and broad good humor live on in Maupin more than in any other English-speaking writer.The Night Listeneris his most ambitious work to date. While not strictly autobiographical, the story does teasingly suggest correspondences to the author's own life in a way that will delight and frustrate his many fans. The main character, Gabriel Noone, is a professional storyteller who broadcasts roughly autobiographical sketches for a long-running PBS series, "Noone at Night," stories about people "caught in the supreme joke of modern life who were forced to survive by making families of their friends." When the novel opens, Gabriel is still reeling from the announcement that his much younger, longtime partner Jess (a.k.a. Jamie in the "Noone at Night" stories, and a.k.a. Terry Anderson, Maupin's real-life, much-younger partner, for those who like to track associations) wants to move into his own apartment and start dating other men. With the success of his HIV cocktail, Jess has exceeded his own life expectancy. Having prepared himself so well to die, he now needs to learn how to live again. To Gabriel's distress, Jess's new life involves leather, multiple piercings, and books on men's drumming circles.When an editor sends Gabriel yet another book to blurb, he reluctantly opens the package to find a long, rending memoir by Pete Lomax, an HIV-positive 13-year-old survivor of incest, rape, and sexual slavery. The book is calledThe Blacking Factory, after the miserable London bottling factory where Dickens spent part of his poverty-stricken childhood. As Gabriel reflects:Pete thinks we all have a blacking factory, some awful moment, early on, when we surrender our childish hearts as surely as we lose our baby teeth. And the outcome can't be called. Some of us end up like Dickens; others like Jeffrey Dahmer. It's not a question of good or evil, Pete believes. Just the random brutality of the universe and our native ability to withstand it.After Pete escaped from his parents and was adopted by a therapist named Donna Lomax, his slow recovery was helped along by his memoir-writing and by frequent doses of "Noone at Night."Touched by Pete's devotion to his stories, as well as the boy's obvious need for a father figure, Gabriel finds himself drawn into an intense relationship with his young fan, involving long, late-night phone calls that begin to worry Gabriel's friends. And, other than their mutual need, how much does he really know about Pete, anyway? As Gabriel begins to question his own motives, as well as those of the boy,The Night Listenertransforms itself from an absorbing but quotidian story of loss and midlife angst into a dark and suspenseful page-turner with a playful metaphysical aspect and an un-Dickensian sexual candor.--Regina Marler ### Answer: <Applications of Microsoft Excel in Analytical Chemistry>, <Holt Elements of Literature: Student Edition Grade 9 Third Course 2009>, <The Further Observations of Lady Whistledown>, <Everyday Prayers>, <Life Together: The Classic Exploration of Faith in Community>, <Prayer That Heals Our Emotions>, <Waiting: The True Confessions of a Waitress>, <The Quality of Mercy>, <Moral Consciousness and Communicative Action: Moral Conciousness and Communicative Action (Studies in Contemporary German Social Thought)>, <"Alfred's Basic Piano Prep Course: Technic Book Level C (Alfred's Basic Piano Library)">, <Your Barn House>

### Instruction: retrieve labels for this product: The Tennis Partner /SEP/ What is it about sports that makes some men wax as mystical as a Castanedan Yaqui? In the hands of writers such asDavid James DuncanandNorman Maclean, the simple, repetitive motions of baseball, fly-fishing, and golf have acquired almost numinous significance. InThe Tennis Partner, Dr. Abraham Verghese takes on his own fascination with tennis and comes up with as good an explanation as any: "In the way we controlled the movement of a yellow ball in space, we were imposingorderon a world that was fickle and capricious. Each ball that we put into play, for as long as it went back and forth between us, felt like a charm to be added to a necklace full of spells, talismans, and fetishes, which one day add up to an Aaron's rod, an Aladdin's lamp, a magic carpet. Each time we played, this feeling of restoring order, of mastery, was awakened."For both Verghese and his tennis partner, a fourth-year medical student named David Smith, the game is a much-needed island of order in the midst of personal chaos. Both men are struggling to rebuild their lives, Verghese undergoing a painful divorce, Smith struggling with an intravenous cocaine addiction. For a brief, idyllic period, their friendship flourishes; Verghese mentors Smith in the examining room, while Smith, an Australian who competed briefly on the pro circuit, ends up Verghese's teacher on the court. But there are dark corners to David's personality, and under the mounting pressures of medical school and his increasingly complicated love life, these come to the fore. Even as he learns how to inhabit his new life, Verghese watches with horror as his friend relapses, dries out, then relapses again. The author of the powerfulMy Own Country, a chronicle of caring for AIDS patients in rural Tennessee, Verghese once again proves that the skills of a good doctor are strikingly similar to those of a good writer. Careful observation, compassion, restraint: these are the instruments Verghese uses to stunning effect inThe Tennis Partner. A paean to the healing powers of tennis, this book is also a moving meditation on friendship, fatherhood, love, addiction, and the particular loneliness of physicians.--Mary Park ### Answer: <What the Dead Know: A Novel>, <The Impressionist Line from Degas to Toulouse-Lautrec: Drawings and Prints from the Clark (Sterling & Francine Clark Art Institute)>, <The New York Times Large-Print Easy Crossword Omnibus, Vol.1: 120 Easy-to-Read, Easy-to-Solve Puzzles from the Pages of The New York Times>, <Sumomomo, Momomo, Vol. 8: The Strongest Bride on Earth>, <The Very Fairy Princess: Here Comes the Flower Girl!>, <"The Very Fairy Princess: Teacher's Pet (Passport to Reading Level 1)">, <Counterparty Credit Risk, Collateral and Funding: With Pricing Cases For All Asset Classes>, <Drawing Flowers (Dover Art Instruction)>, <Cold War Orientalism: Asia in the Middlebrow Imagination, 1945-1961>, <Ultrasonic Waves in Solid Media>, <Mind Wide Open: Your Brain and the Neuroscience of Everyday Life>, <Hungarian, Conversational: Learn to Speak and Understand Hungarian with Pimsleur Language Programs>, <The Art of Everyday Ecstasy: The Seven Trantric Keys for Bringing Passion, Spirit and Joy Into Every Part Of Your Life>, <Mindbenders and Brainbusters: The Ultimate Avatar Challenge (Avatar: The Last Airbender)>

### Instruction: retrieve labels for this product: Three Roads to the Alamo: The Lives and Fortunes of David Crockett, James Bowie, and William Barret Travis /SEP/ Ever since the day in March 1836 when an obscure Spanish mission in Texas fell to Mexican forces led by President Santa Anna, Americans have been exhorted to "remember the Alamo." And remember it we do--primarily as the place where American folk legends Davy Crockett, Jim Bowie, and William Travis met their end fighting for Texas independence. Though it is primarily the Alamo we remember today, the battle itself takes up just a few pages of William C. Davis'sThree Roads to the Alamo; Davis is far more interested in what brought three such disparate men as Crockett, Bowie, and Travis to Texas in the first place than in how they died there. As any schoolchild knows, Davy Crockett was the "king of the wild frontier," a bona fide folk hero in his own time who rode his legend to political office first in Tennessee and then as a United States congressman. Bowie was both less well known and less heroic--a land speculator not above resorting to fraud and forgery to get what he wanted, while William Travis, the youngest of the three, brought little but potential with him to Texas.Davis does a good job of illuminating both the personalities of his subjects and the situation in which they found themselves in Texas. He thoroughly explores the lives of these three men--their successes, their failures, their hopes for the future--and lays out the arguments for and against Texan independence from Mexico in which they found themselves embroiled. By the time Crockett, Bowie, and Travis finally arrive at the Alamo, it seems the inevitable conclusion to the roads they each have been traveling over the course of their lifetimes.Three Roads to the Alamois a fine piece of historical research and an entertaining read, as well. ### Answer: <Priceless : The Vanishing Beauty of A Fragile Planet>, <Taylor Swift>, <Riches for All: The California Gold Rush and the World>, <Beaded Crazy Quilting>, <Vicious>, <"Ginger Tucker's First Year Teacher Notebook (Ginger Tucker's The Heart of Teaching Series)">, <"Creating Moments of Joy for the Person with Alzheimer's or Dementia: A Journal for Caregivers, Fourth Edition">

### Instruction: retrieve labels for this product: "The Last Face You'll Ever See: The Private Life of the American Death Penalty" /SEP/ Donald Hocutt mixed the sulfuric acid bath that dissolved the cyanide that killed Jimmy Lee Gray. It was the first time the gas chamber had been used at Mississippi's Parchman State Penitentiary in 19 years, and it was the beginning of the end for the asphyxiation of death row prisoners. Gray's gruesome death shocked the nation and forced a move to lethal injections, but Hocutt acted as executioner for three more men before the switch. Journalist Ivan Solotaroff spent five years trying to understand the motive behind the death penalty by looking at executioners themselves, asking where and when and how, and the more difficult questions: Why do they do it and why do they want to do it? He interviewed men on death row, such as Wilbert Rideau and Douglas Dennis, editors of the acclaimed magazineThe Angolite, who speak with remarkable eloquence, as well as witnesses to executions, such as Watt Espy, America's foremost historian of executions, who remarked, "I believe that more than one person dies with each execution." But most of those five years were spent with Hocutt and his one-time superior warden Donald Cabana. The two men had polar responses to their role as executioners--Hocutt, who used his violent disposition to control inmates, embraced his duty, while Cabana befriended the condemned to ease their passage--but both were ultimately broken by the ordeal.Solotaroff creates an intimate picture of these men's lives while presenting an unflinching account of execution. His purpose is not to argue for or against the death penalty, but rather to question the real motive behind it: do Americans pursue the death penalty for deterrence or punishment, to rid a society of a blight, or is it "something altogether different--an expression of an irrational urge far more subterranean than the will to justice"? This is a finely written and humane examination of a rare breed of people and of an act clouded by a strange brew of sensationalism and obscurity. Solotaroff has grappled with the hardest questions--of vengeance and responsibility--and though he doesn't pretend to have found the answers, what he does reveal is thought-provoking and indelibly unsettling.--Lesley Reed ### Answer: <Cognition, Brain, and Consciousness, Second Edition: Introduction to Cognitive Neuroscience>, <Happy Trails>, <"The Cuckoo's Calling">

### Instruction: retrieve labels for this product: Mediterranean Grains and Greens: A Book of Savory, Sun-Drenched Recipes /SEP/ Paula Wolfert'sMediterranean Grains and Greensshares her adventures as a cultural explorer. Her discoveries show the probing of a culinary scholar and the passion of a true amateur. The result is a rich tapestry of information, images, and alluring recipes. Even if you don't cook, you will be entranced as this culinary Scheherazade spins her tales of a thousand-and-one discoveries and delights, which, in this case, are all real.Typically, Wolfert introduces her recipe for Wheatberries, Lentils, and Rice with Fresh Herbs by regaling you with information about many other pulse-and-grain dishes from Spain to the Middle East that you have probably never heard of. She then enchants you with the story of how a Cretan chef shared this particular recipe, and explains that on Crete, there are three names for this type of soup: one is rooted in ancient times, one is linked to a local festival, and the third uses a play on words.Few recipes in this, Wolfert's fifth cookbook on the Mediterranean region, are familiar. Her goal is to open our eyes to ingredients like green wheat, farro, mallow, and Tuscan kale. Some of the work records recipes for earthy, traditional dishes that are fast disappearing from the table as women in Mediterranean countries no longer have the time to make them, and as prosperity pulls people away from this "cooking of the poor." This book should also inspire wider demand for wild greens such as tart purslane, spinach-like lamb's quarters, grains like farro, and other unfamiliar Mediterranean ingredients. Wolfert also suggests substitutes, since many of the greens are interchangeable with chard, arugula, watercress, or spinach.For simple dishes, try Escarole Stuffed with Capers, Golden Raisins, and Pine Nuts; Egyptian koshery, a blend of rice, lentils, pasta, and browned onions; and Winter Squash Pilaf with Bulgur. Bread bakers will be intrigued by recipes that use barley, semolina, and chickpeas.--Dana Jacobi ### Answer: <Pushing Electrons: A Guide for Students of Organic Chemistry>, <Chicken: Self-Portrait of a Young Man for Rent>, <Minnie and Moo: The Case of the Missing Jelly Donut (I Can Read Book 3)>, <Twas the Bite Before Christmas>, <The Columbia Reader on Lesbians & Gay Men in Media, Society, and Politics>, <Dino Pets>, <Up in the Old Hotel>, <The Worship Workshop: Creative Ways to Design Worship Together>, <"The Fashion Designer's Handbook & Fashion Kit: Learn to Sew and Become a Designer in 33 Fabulous Projects">, <The Logic of the Spirit: Human Development in Theological Perspective>, <Counseling and Mental Health Services on Campus: A Handbook of Contemporary Practices and Challenges>, <Daytrips Germany: 60 One Day Adventures by Rail or by Car in Bavaria, the Rhineland, the North and the East>, <Delight Your Customers: 7 Simple Ways to Raise Your Customer Service from Ordinary to Extraordinary>, <Two for the Money (Hard Case Crime (Mass Market Paperback))>, <101 Hikes in Southern California: Exploring Mountains, Seashore, and Desert>, <What Do You Do With a Chocolate Jesus?: An Irreverent History of Christianity>, <Overcoming Spiritual Barriers in Japan>, <"The Keys To Color: A Decorator's Handbook for coloring paints, plasters and glazes.">, <Mojo>, <Emblems of Jagdwaffe 1936-1945; A More Complete History>

### Instruction: retrieve labels for this product: Midnight Clear: A Callahan Garrity Mystery (Callahan Garrity Mysteries) /SEP/ Christmas festivities and family bonding provide the backdrop in this seventh mystery featuring cleaning service owner-operator Callahan Garrity. While Callahan and her mother Edna are busy preparing trifle and a potent Garrity version of eggnog for their annual Christmas bash, Callahan's youngest brother, Brian, appears after a 10-year absence. Edna is thrilled, both with Brian and with the granddaughter he has presented; Callahan is more dubious, particularly when it becomes clear that her brother has been in town for well over a year and that he has taken the 3-year-old Maura without her mother's permission. Callahan, with pressure from Edna, agrees to help Brian fight the custody battle against his ex, but things only get more complicated once the woman is found stabbed to death. Police, not surprisingly, put Brian at the top of their list of likely suspects. After all, if he is willing to commit one felony by kidnapping his daughter, what's to prevent him from murdering her mother?Despite overtones of O.J.--Brian is also accused of occasionally resorting to violence--there is much to enjoy here: Edna's toilet-training philosophy, Maura's precociousness, and the suburban South's peculiar social dimensions (just what constitutes white trash, anyway?) provide much to chuckle over. Callahan and her band of merry mop-bearers take on the police, Brian's mother-in-law, and even Brian himself to demonstrate his innocence so that he can stay out of jail and secure custody. Callahan is an admirable and entertaining heroine. Kathy Hogan Trocheck has a lighter touch than Sarah Paretsky or Sue Grafton, and Callahan is rarely as unforgivably foolhardy as counterparts V.I. Warshawski or Kinsey Milhone can be. With Callahan and her more charming relations at the novel's heart,Midnight Clearoffers jolly holiday reading with both poignant and hilarious moments.--K.

### Instruction: retrieve labels for this product: "The Blue Jay's Dance: A Birth Year" /SEP/ Mothers often cling to single moments, small gestures, and specific memories in order to grasp all that happens in the first blurry year of a baby's life. InThe Blue Jay's Dance, writer Louise Erdrich has assembled a photo album of snapshots such as these: the days and images that collectively define the passion, ambivalence, yearnings, and satisfactions of carrying, birthing, and nurturing a baby. "Any sublime effort has its dark moments," says Erdrich, referring to a rather bleak snapshot of mother isolation. "Perhaps, if anything, the meaning in this book for others may be this: Here is a job in which it is not unusual to be, at the same instant, wildly joyous and profoundly stressed."The Blue Jay's Danceis a fresh and masterful book that avoids all the sticky clichés while still managing to articulate the depths of mother-baby love.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. ### Answer: <"The Mi'kmaq: Resistance, Accommodation, and Cultural Survival (Case Studies in Cultural Anthropology)">, <The Abolition of Man>, <Invisible Inkling>, <Blues Licks You Can Use: Softcover with CD (Guitar Educational)>, <Angel: Endangered Species>, <From Parchment to Power: How James Madison Used the Bill of Rights to Save the Constutition>

### Instruction: retrieve labels for this product: The Price of Blood /SEP/ In just two books (Hunter's Moonwas his first book), Chuck Logan has established himself as a thriller writer with all the necessary gifts for greatness: a strong and original voice, a formidable narrative engine, and a heart big enough to give life to a wide variety of characters. At the center of the story are Phil Broker, an undercover cop in a small Minnesota town, and Nina Pryce, a career soldier and the daughter of the man who shaped Broker's life in Vietnam. Both are fascinating people, bristling with edges and attitude, and Logan has surrounded them with dozens of other characters of equally surprising depth. Add to that a crackerjack treasure hunt and a trip to present-day Vietnam that reeks of reality and you've got what could well be the best thriller of the year. ### Answer: <Outrageous Acts and Everyday Rebellions>, <Holt Literature & Language Arts, First Course: Language & Sentence Skills Practice Support for the Holt Handbook>, <"Rough Magic: Bill Walsh's Return to Stanford Football">, <Morir en el Intento: La Peor Tragedia de Inmigrantes en la Historia de los Estados Unidos (Spanish Edition)>, <Drawing and Sketching (Collins Discover)>, <Atlas of the Night Sky (Smithsonian Institution)>, <The Rose Thieves: Stories>, <Anesthesia: A Comprehensive Review, 3e>, <Out of Exile (The Delaney Heirs) (Silhouette Intimate Moments 1149)>, <Finite Precision Number Systems and Arithmetic (Encyclopedia of Mathematics and its Applications)>

### Instruction: retrieve labels for this product: American Beach: A Saga of Race, Wealth, and Memory /SEP/ In its heyday during the height of segregation, the little resort of American Beach, Florida was the African American Hyannisport, where the crème de la crème of black society came to enjoy what the town motto called "recreation and relaxation without humiliation." These days, it's more like the African American Daytona Beach--that is, visited mostly by partying teenagers who come to drink and get rowdy in the town's deserted streets. What happened between then and now could be fodder for a sociologist's study, but journalist Russ Rymer turns it instead into a grippingly personal story of race, money, greed, and the struggle over who owns--and interprets--cultural memory.At the heart of Rymer's tale is one of the most fascinating characters to walk the pages of a book this year: MaVynee Betsch, great-granddaughter of Abraham Lincoln Lewis, an African American millionaire and the founder of American Beach. Reared in privilege and culture, sixtyish MaVynee once sang lieder throughout the capitals of Europe. Now she lives the gypsy life in the open air of American Beach, an unforgettable sight in her 18-inch fingernails, cowrie anklets, and five-foot fall of hair. Having given all her money away, MaVynee spends her time evoking the glories of her community's past and railing against the white-bread resorts, whose golf courses and cookie-cutter condos threaten to swallow her beloved beach. The painful irony is that when the enforced humiliation of segregation ended, so too did the cohesiveness of the black commercial and professional community American Beach once represented. As one resident puts it, "First we had segregation, and then integration. Then disintegration."Rymer's story ripples outward to encompass bygone black Jacksonville, the killing of an unarmed African American by Amelia Island police, the first incorporated black town in the United States, A.L. Lewis's Afro-American Life Insurance Company, and revered Harlem Renaissance writer Zora Neale Hurston. But it never loses focus on its fundamental question, a question with equal relevance for both black and white: "Where did mankind's economic existence and moral existence coincide, and where collide, and where was the boundary between them?" Rymer avoids both ideology and easy answers in this passionate yet even-handed book.--Mary Park ### Answer: <Where the Ground Meets the Sky>, <Surgical Technology for the Surgical Technologist: A Positive Care Approach>

### Instruction: retrieve labels for this product: Chez Panisse Café Cookbook /SEP/ In the 1970s, Alice Waters helped launch the revolution in American cuisine. She inspired a generation of food lovers with her passion for freshness and the best ingredients. Her influence helped infuse menus all over the U.S. with dishes rooted in Mediterranean cooking, often with a sunny, California twist. Dishes at the casual café, located upstairs in the same enchanting house as Chez Panisse, her more formal restaurant in Berkeley, California, include Wood Oven Baked Porcini Mushrooms, Tuna Confit, and Meyer Lemon Éclairs. Waters suggests making the mushrooms in your fireplace if you can, although recipe directions are for a conventional oven. Typical of the ingredient-driven cooking Waters encourages, the stunning tang of the éclairs requires Meyer lemons: a cross between a lemon and an orange, which are now exported beyond their native California. But the fresh tuna steak gently simmered in olive oil with garlic, fresh thyme, and fennel seeds and served with barely cooked green beans and aïoli, a pungent garlic mayonnaise, is sublime even made in an apartment kitchen. Her point is that you should use her recipes as guides, letting them inspire you to make the most of locally produced, seasonal foods in your area.Alice Waters is an enchanting raconteur and an activist as well as a chef. InThe Chez Panisse CaféCookbook, she weaves her beliefs about food as pleasure, sustenance, art, and politics in with over 200 recipes. Bringing you into the community she has been instrumental in creating to preserve the earth's resources as well as to provide great ingredients, Waters tells about the producers who share her passions. They respect the environment, using only sustainable production methods while delivering the freshest possible product, be it free-range poultry and eggs, acorn-fed pigs, impeccable oysters, or organically grown fruits and vegetables.Jewel-colored Art Nouveau-style illustrations by David Goines give this book the same distinctive look as earlier Chez Panisse cookbooks, including those devoted solely topasta,vegetablesanddesserts.--Dana Jacobi ### Answer: <Ngaio Marsh: Her Life in Crime>, <All Men Are Rogues>, <The Long Loneliness: The Autobiography of the Legendary Catholic Social Activist>, <Digimon #01: Adventures on File Island (Digimon Digital Monsters)>, <The Floating Girl>, <"Death's Autograph (Antiquarian Book Mysteries)">, <Persecution and the Art of Writing>, <Covering the Body: The Kennedy Assassination, the Media, and the Shaping of Collective Memory>, <"Remembering to Forget: Holocaust Memory through the Camera's Eye">, <Luxury Online: Styles, Systems, Strategies>, <The Legacy Family: The Definitive Guide to Creating a Successful Multigenerational Family>, <The Columbia Reader on Lesbians & Gay Men in Media, Society, and Politics>, <The Eucharistic Words of Jesus>, <Betrayal (Star Wars: Legacy of the Force, Book 1)>, <Cottage for Sale, Must Be Moved: A Woman Moves a House to Make a Home>, <CrazyBusy: Overstretched, Overbooked, and About to Snap!

### Instruction: retrieve labels for this product: Nora, Nora: A Novel /SEP/ The young heroine ofNora, Noracomes from a long line of angst-ridden adolescents, stretching back through Holden Caulfield and Frankie Addams to Huckleberry Finn. Yet Peyton McKenzie certainly has good reason to be unhappy. Her household, in the small Georgia town of Lytton, is shadowed by the deaths of her mother and older brother. Her father, meanwhile, has withdrawn into mournful distraction: "When Buddy died in an accident in his air-force trainer, when Peyton was five, Frazier McKenzie closed up shop on his laughter, anger, small foolishnesses, and large passions. Now, at twelve, Peyton could remember no other father than the cooled and static one she had."To withstand this mortuary atmosphere--not to mention a touch of small-town claustrophobia--Peyton has founded the Losers Club, where she and two other misfits share their daily doses of unhappiness. But everything changes when her cousin Nora shows up for a visit. This jaunty outsider is unlike anybody else in Kennedy-era Lytton, circa 1961:The first thing you noticed about Nora Findlay, Peyton thought, was that she gave off heat, a kind of sheen, like a wild animal, except that hers was not a dangerous ferality, but an aura of sleekness and high spirits. There was a padding, hip-shot prowl to her walk, and she moved her body as if she were totally unconscious of it, as if its suppleness and sinew were something she had lived with all her life.At first Nora's high spirits have a tonic effect, jogging both Peyton and her father out of their torpor. But her involvement in racial politics eventually rubs some of Lytton's citizens the wrong way--and puts her young cousin's loyalty to the test. Anne Rivers Siddons handles the narrative with a deft touch for local color (right down to the perpetual "three Coca-Colas in an old red metal ice chest"). But her feeling for her cast of characters is even better, mixing just the right proportions of delicacy and Southern discomfort.--Anita Urquhart ### Answer: <Very Worried Walrus (Sweet Pickles Series)>, <Effective Study Skills: Step-by-Step System to Achieve Student Success>, <"Mendelowitz's Guide to Drawing">, <Bad Boys Get Henpecked!>, <Into a Dark Realm (The Darkwar Saga, Book 2)>, <Baby Beluga (Raffi Songs to Read)>, <Successful shooting>, <The Year of Magical Thinking>, <FCS PC-5 Performance Core Surfboard Tri Fin Set - Blue Graphic>

But just when she's ready to reclaim the romance in her marriage now that her kids are in college, she realizes that Bob has a girlfriend on the side--Marla, a younger version of Sylvie. When she's finally ready to confont Bob, she is inspired to confront Marla instead, and, after meeting the ditzy blond, she discovers that each of them is seeking what the other has: Sylvie longs for romance and spontaneity, Marla for a stable family life. Sylvie convinces Marla to swap identities for two weeks to see what it's like in the other's shoes. After a retreat to alter their appearances, the charade begins.

### Instruction: retrieve labels for this product: Shark Attack: Jerry Tarkanian and His Battle With the Ncaa and Unlv /SEP/ Jerry Tarkanian, the head coach of the men's basketball program at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas, is one of the most controversial coaches in college basketball. Tarkanian's reputation for giving academically borderline players a second chance (and then winning championships with them) is one reason for his decade long struggle with the National Collegiate Athletic Association, the governing agency for collegiate sports. The NCAA has a history of selective enforcement of their rules and has actively pursued Tarkanian, who is one of their most outspoken critics. While Yaeger is overly supportive of Tarkanian, he makes a strong case for the NCAA having too much unrestrained authority. He also criticizes the NCAA's habit of basing their investigations on hearsay. This interesting if biased look at a controversial coach will circulate in most sports collections.- J.

### Instruction: retrieve labels for this product: Dressed for Death: A Guido Brunetti Mystery /SEP/ The third in Leon's richly evocative mysteries set in Venice and starring police Commissario Guido Brunetti reveals several flaws in Brunetti's character--some endearing, some disquieting, all intriguing. A man's body is found near a place popular with prostitutes. His legs and chest are shaved; his shoes are red, high-heeled and brand new. But what initially looks like the violent death of a transvestite whore may be a different sort of murder ineptly disguised: the victim is middle-aged, his body has been inexpertly shaved and his face is battered beyond recognition. In a tougher story than the previous Death at La Fenice, the Commissario's sensitivity is challenged by his dealings with demimonde creatures to whom he has not previously given much thought. A coincidence directs him, perhaps too easily, toward a villain who is soon covering tracks with more killing; lawyers, laundered money--and sodomy--also figure in the case's resolution. While struggling with his prejudices, Brunetti must hide his glee as the wife of his hated superior makes a highly visible departure into the arms of a famed pornographer. Venice takes on a deep noir tint in Leon's latest well-crafted work.Copyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc. ### Answer: <Elements of Literature: Student Edition Grade 8 Second Course 2007>, <Exploring: Microsoft Access 2013, Comprehensive>, <GO! with Microsoft Word 2013 Comprehensive>, <What Is God Really Like?>, <The Fairy Lights Tarot Deck>, <DK Essential Managers: Marketing Effectively>, <Solano Original Dryer>

### Instruction: retrieve labels for this product: From Dawn to Decadence: 1500 to the Present: 500 Years of Western Cultural Life /SEP/ In the last half-millennium, as the noted cultural critic and historianJacques Barzunobserves, great revolutions have swept the Western world. Each has brought profound change--for instance, the remaking of the commercial and social worlds wrought by the rise of Protestantism and by the decline of hereditary monarchies. And each, Barzun hints, is too little studied or appreciated today, in a time he does not hesitate to label as decadent.To leaf through Barzun's sweeping, densely detailed but lightly written survey of the last 500 years is to ride a whirlwind of world-changing events. Barzun ponders, for instance, the tumultuous political climate of Renaissance Italy, which yielded mayhem and chaos, but also the work of Michelangelo and Leonardo--and, he adds, the scientific foundations for today's consumer culture of boom boxes and rollerblades. He considers the 16th-century varieties of religious experimentation that arose in the wake of Martin Luther's 95 theses, some of which led to the repression of individual personality, others of which might easily have come from the "Me Decade." Along the way, he offers a miniature history of the detective novel, defends Surrealism from its detractors, and derides the rise of professional sports, packing in a wealth of learned and often barbed asides.Never shy of controversy, Barzun writes from a generally conservative position; he insists on the importance of moral values, celebrates the historical contributions of Christopher Columbus, and twits the academic practitioners of political correctness. Whether accepting of those views or not, even the most casual reader will find much that is new or little-explored in this attractive venture into cultural history.--Gregory McNamee ### Answer: <"Nixon's Piano: Presidents and Racial Politics from Washington to Clinton">, <George MacDonald: An Anthology 365 Readings>, <The Cosmographia of Bernardus Silvestris>, <"Mickey and the Magic Cloak (Disney's wonderful world of reading ; 36)">, <Fact & Opinion (Reading Passages That Build Comprehensio)>, <Kaplan Word Power: Vocabulary Building for Success>, <Aquarium Designs Inspired by Nature>, <Rockwell: A Boy and His Dog>, <Microsoft Expression Web 4 In Depth>, <Marquetry & Inlay Handbook>, <The Little Giant Encyclopedia of Logic Puzzles>

### Instruction: retrieve labels for this product: The Dixon Cornbelt League, and Other Baseball Stories /SEP/ Once again blending magical and spiritual themes with a baseball setting, Kinsella (Shoeless Joe; Box Socials) takes a light, breezy approach in this mildly satisfying but somewhat redundant collection of nine tales. The plot pattern is remarkably similar from story to story, beginning with the introduction of a seemingly incredible, silly or trivial anomaly that often conceals a darker conflict. A gentle spoof of magical realism, "The Baseball Wolf," raises the issue of our animal nature through a slick-fielding shortstop in an obscure Latin-American league who tries to jump-start his career by undergoing a mystical lupine transformation. The title story follows a parallel trail, introducing an ominous, barely known Iowa minor league that actually functions as a vehicle for repopulating the dying farm towns in the region. "Eggs" deals more directly with a serious theme, its protagonist a pitcher who struggles with rural isolation when the loss of his fastball forces premature retirement to his opulent Alberta home and a wife who is unsympathetic to his desire to return to the game. Kinsella clearly is steeped in his sports motif, churning out stories that read like lightning and tantalize the reader with fascinating scenarios. But, like a meal that consists of nothing but appetizers, the similarity of tone and structure ultimately becomes tiresome, and Kinsella's reluctance to plumb the depths of his characters' struggles may leave readers hungering for some meatier material.Copyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc. ### Answer: <Comrade Charlie>, <Dynamics of Atmospheric Flight (Dover Books on Aeronautical Engineering)>

### Instruction: retrieve labels for this product: Eternal Echoes: Exploring Our Yearning to Belong /SEP/ John O'Donohue (Anam Cara), a Celtic poet, scholar, and philosopher with an Irish brogue, speaks to the deepest calling of our soul: the longing to belong. "To be human is to belong," he explains. "Belonging is a circle that embraces everything; if we reject it, we damage our nature. The word 'belonging' holds together the two fundamental aspects of life: Being and Longing, the longing of our Being and the being of our Longing." Although this may sound like an elaborate Celtic circle knot, O'Donohue has nevertheless woven a solid and easy-to-grasp book that speaks to the soul's constant yearning. Every passage is a delight for the senses, as O'Donohue shares his lilting poetic language, his Celtic imagery and stories, and his fireside-chat wisdom. This is a broad-reaching yet highly focused book that dares to explore the realm of legitimate angels, the meaning of suffering, and, most poignantly, how life on earth may never quench the soul's thirst for belonging.--Gail Hudson ### Answer: <The Mechanic and the Gardener>, <"Aucas downriver; Dayuma's story today">, <Enchanted By Your Kisses>, <Introduction to VBA for Excel (2nd Edition)>, <Adcult USA>, <The Hindu Nationalist Movement in India>, <Principles of Microeconomics, 5th Edition>, <Big Black Bear>, <Professional Microsoft SharePoint 2007 Workflow Programming>, <Day Trade Futures Online>, <Burden of Truth (A Birdie Keane Novel)>, <Living the Questions: Essays Inspired by the Work and Life of Parker J.

### Instruction: retrieve labels for this product: Quitting the Mob: How the "Yuppie Don" Left the Mafia and Lived to Tell His Story /SEP/ Franzese grew up on Long Island as Michael Grillo, believing himself the stepson of Mafia member John "Sonny" Franzese, with six other children in the family. He worshipped "Sonny," who may have been his biological father, abandoned his plan to become a doctor and was taken into the Cosa Nostra in 1975. With the mob's blessing, he began to work on the fringes of legitimate businesses, where he was enormously successful. Among his enterprises was a partnership dealing in retail and wholesale gasoline that evaded paying taxes; from this he made millions of dollars and began to play around with the movie industry. His first marriage on the rocks, he wed a Mexican American dancer, a born-again Christian who urged him to reform, which he did by testifying against two criminals who were sent to prison. They were not Mafiosi, nor did his testimony implicate anyone in the Mafia, but both he and Matera ( Are You Lonesome Tonight? ) believe that the mob wants to kill him anyway. The so-called "Mafia Prince," according to recent newspaper accounts, has just been arrested in Los Angeles for violating federal probation and for defaulting on bank loans and defrauding the owners of various Bel-Air mansions he rented. In some respects a conventional gangster saga, and not altogether credible. Photos not seen by PW.

### Instruction: retrieve labels for this product: A Hero All His Life: Merlyn, Mickey Jr., David, and Dan Mantle : A Memoir by the Mantle Family /SEP/ A poignant tribute to Mickey Mantle, the famed Yankee star who died of cancer last summer at age 64 following a failed liver transplant, this reminiscence presents alternating chapters by his widow and three of his sons; the fourth, 36-year-old Billy, died in 1994. The couple, both from the same small Oklahoma town, were married in 1951 and moved to New York City, a milieu that overwhelmed them. In due course they both developed serious drinking problems. The ballplayer was almost always on the road, either playing baseball or starring on the lecture circuit. He became an open womanizer, in two instances engaging in long-term affairs his wife was aware of. As the Mantle sons grew up, they became their father's drinking partners. All of them developed alcohol and/or drug addictions and were treated at the Betty Ford Clinic. Mickey is quoted here as saying he was a poor husband and father, an assessment readers will consider accurate, but his family expresses only love for him and recalls the qualities that endeared him to them.

### Instruction: retrieve labels for this product: The Poisonwood Bible /SEP/ Oprah Book Club® Selection, June 2000:As any reader ofThe Mosquito Coastknows, men who drag their families to far-off climes in pursuit of an Idea seldom come to any good, while those familiar withAt Play in the Fields of the LordorKalimantaanunderstand that the minute a missionary sets foot on the fictional stage, all hell is about to break loose. So when Barbara Kingsolver sends missionary Nathan Price along with his wife and four daughters off to Africa inThe Poisonwood Bible, you can be sure that salvation is the one thing they're not likely to find. The year is 1959 and the place is the Belgian Congo. Nathan, a Baptist preacher, has come to spread the Word in a remote village reachable only by airplane. To say that he and his family are woefully unprepared would be an understatement: "We came from Bethlehem, Georgia, bearing Betty Crocker cake mixes into the jungle," says Leah, one of Nathan's daughters. But of course it isn't long before they discover that the tremendous humidity has rendered the mixes unusable, their clothes are unsuitable, and they've arrived in the middle of political upheaval as the Congolese seek to wrest independence from Belgium. In addition to poisonous snakes, dangerous animals, and the hostility of the villagers to Nathan's fiery take-no-prisoners brand of Christianity, there are also rebels in the jungle and the threat of war in the air. Could things get any worse?In fact they can and they do. The first part ofThe Poisonwood Biblerevolves around Nathan's intransigent, bullying personality and his effect on both his family and the village they have come to. As political instability grows in the Congo, so does the local witch doctor's animus toward the Prices, and both seem to converge with tragic consequences about halfway through the novel. From that point on, the family is dispersed and the novel follows each member's fortune across a span of more than 30 years.The Poisonwood Bibleis arguably Barbara Kingsolver's most ambitious work, and it reveals both her great strengths and her weaknesses. As Nathan Price's wife and daughters tell their stories in alternating chapters, Kingsolver does a good job of differentiating the voices. But at times they can grate--teenage Rachel's tendency towards precious malapropisms is particularly annoying (students practice their "French congregations"; Nathan's refusal to take his family home is a "tapestry of justice"). More problematic is Kingsolver's tendency to wear her politics on her sleeve; this is particularly evident in the second half of the novel, in which she uses her characters as mouthpieces to explicate the complicated and tragic history of the Belgian Congo.Despite these weaknesses, Kingsolver's fully realized, three-dimensional characters makeThe Poisonwood Biblecompelling, especially in the first half, when Nathan Price is still at the center of the action. And in her treatment of Africa and the Africans she is at her best, exhibiting the acute perception, moral engagement, and lyrical prose that have made her previous novels so successful.--Alix Wilber ### Answer: <"The Complete Idiot's Guide to Conversational Japanese with CD-ROM">, <Conversations With the Dead>, <Chinese Peoples Cookbook>, <Got the Look (Jack Swyteck)>, <"Chango's Fire">, <Complete Book of Rifles and Shotguns>, <Aftermath: Unseen 9/11 Photos by a New York City Cop>, <How to Train Your Dragon: Hiccup the Hero (I Can Read Book 2)>, <Hedge Fund Wives>, <Nocturna (La Trilogia De La Nocturna) (Spanish Edition)>, <The Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place: Book I: The Mysterious Howling>, <Investment Performance Attribution>, <Visual Design in Dress, 3rd Edition>, <Cloud Computing: Concepts, Technology & Architecture (The Prentice Hall Service Technology Series from Thomas Erl)>, <TV by Design: Modern Art and the Rise of Network Television>, <How a Gunman Says Goodbye>, <Before the Indians>, <Still the Golden Door: The Third World Comes to America>, <Speaking for Buddhas: Scriptural Commentary in Indian Buddhism>, <Pastel Portraits: Images of 18th-Century Europe (Metropolitan Museum of Art)>, <The Impressionist Line from Degas to Toulouse-Lautrec: Drawings and Prints from the Clark (Sterling & Francine Clark Art Institute)>, <Blind Eye: A Benjamin Justice Novel (Benjamin Justice Mysteries)>, <"Street Law: A Course in Practical Law, Teacher's Manual, 5th Edition">, <Latinos and the Law: Cases and Materials (American Casebook)>, <"A Student's Guide to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, 2013">, <Sumomomo, Momomo, Vol. 8: The Strongest Bride on Earth>, <Betrayal: The Crisis in the Catholic Church>, <Arthur Accused: A Marc Brown Arthur Chapter Book 5 (Arthur Chapter Books)>, <The Very Fairy Princess: Here Comes the Flower Girl!>, <Stray Souls (Magicals Anonymous)>, <Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4 Book: The Complete Guide for Photographers, The>, <Pathophysiology: The Biologic Basis for Disease in Adults and Children, 6th Edition>, <Study Guide to accompany Essentials of Managerial Finance>, <Business Fairy Tales: Grim Realities of Fictitious Financial Reporting>, <Tourist Season: Stories>, <"Rosie Sprout's Time to Shine">, <"Beyond a Shadow of a Diet: The Therapist's Guide to Treating Compulsive Eating Disorders">, <French Verbs For Dummies>, <A Concise History of Wales (Cambridge Concise Histories)>, <Twisted Summer>, <Computer Animation Showcase>, <"Studio Furniture: Today's Leading Woodworkers">, <Winter Soldier, Vol. 2: Broken Arrow>, <Incredible Hulk, Vol. 2: Fall of the Hulks>, <Peaceable Kingdom>, <The Buzz: 7 Scriptures to Energize Your Life (Women of Faith (Publishing Group))>, <Armour of the Pacific War (Vanguard)>, <"It's Not about the Crumbs!: Easy-to-Read Wonder Tales">, <Behold the Lamb of God: An Advent Narrative>, <Leading With Communication: A Practical Approach to Leadership Communication>, <Nonprofit Management: Principles and Practice>, <Dinosaurs (Insiders)>, <Human Body (Insiders)>, <Mindbenders and Brainbusters: The Ultimate Avatar Challenge (Avatar: The Last Airbender)>, <Real World OCaml: Functional programming for the masses>

### Instruction: retrieve labels for this product: The Carpenters: The Untold Story : An Authorized Biography /SEP/ Despite a clean-cut image that put them distinctly at odds with the glam-rock and disco styles of other '70's bands, the Carpenters, renowned for such mellifluous hits as "Close to You" and "We've Only Just Begun," were one of the most successful pop acts of the time. But like many of their more flamboyant colleagues, they had problems: Richard Carpenter suffered through a bout of severe chemical dependency (from which he eventually recovered) while his sister Karen battled anorexia nervosa, resulting in her death in 1983. Although rock journalist Ray Coleman's ( Lennon ) authorized biography is ostensibly a history of the Carpenters' career as pop icons, it also doubles as a case study of an anorexic, beginning and ending with accounts of Karen's final days and recording in meticulous, and at times almost intrusive, detail her struggles with her weight and her self-image. Coleman avoids pathologizing Karen or offering pat explanations for her condition. Instead, he impartially weaves together commentary, ranging from the affectionate to the critical, about Karen and Richard's lives and careers from the various viewpoints of family members, friends and associates, including Richard Carpenter himself. Well-researched, well-written and less gossipy than most celebrity bios, this offers insights into the workings of the music industry.

### Instruction: retrieve labels for this product: The Second Brain : The Scientific Basis of Gut Instinct and a Groundbreaking New Understanding of Nervous Disorders of the Stomach and Intestines /SEP/ Did you ever tell someone that they think with their stomach? Then you're on the cutting edge of scientific thought, according to researcher Michael D. Gershon. The title of his bookThe Second Brainrefers to the hundred million nerve cells in and around our guts that often act entirely independently of the dictator inside our heads. This isn't so bad--there are some meals we'd rather not have to think about eating, much less digesting. Gershon tells us the stories of his development into a scientist, his determination to promote neurogastroenterology as a legitimate field of research, and the nature of "the brain gone south," all with humor and aplomb.Though not for the overly squeamish (after all, even if Gershon were to pull his punches, his subject still carries traces of old taboos),The Second Brainis a lively and invigorating read. The illustrations are superb and well labeled; this complements the text, which ranges from clinical to personal, as when the author details the events leading to his mother's tragic death following unnecessary surgery for an ulcer. The interactions between the enteric nervous system and digestion, emotion, and disease are not simple, but Gershon's patient prose explains everything in terms any interested layperson can understand.As in the best scientific works,The Second Braininforms and inspires, surprising the reader with unexpected complexities and mysteries arising in such a seemingly primitive venue. It makes excellent after-dinner reading.--Rob Lightner ### Answer: <"I Can Do It Myself: Featuring Jim Henson's Sesame Street Muppets">, <Virgil Earp, Private Detective (The Gunsmith #333)>, <Six Guns Straight From Hell: Tales of Horror and Dark Fantasy from the Weird Weird West>

### Instruction: retrieve labels for this product: "Don't Count the Candles: Just Keep the Fire Lit!" /SEP/ In this new book about aging, stand-up comic and talk show host Rivers combines her two most marketable talents: snappy wit and common sense. Returning to the self-help genre, which she successfully mastered in Bouncing Back and From Mother to Daughter, she intersperses a seemingly endless supply of jokes (some laugh-out-loud funny, many provoking a smile or a groan) with practical, intelligent and easy-to-follow advice on coping with getting older. Most of the counsel is the stuff of magazine articles: exercise regularly; watch your diet; dress well to feel better; use cosmetics; and keep your home clean and well decorated. There are tips about plastic surgery, making friends, the need to move on after a loss and (more surprisingly) how to date over the Internet, as well as about the benefits of dating younger men. Rivers doesn't aim for the strong, sustained prose of her autobiographical Enter Talking, but manages to entertain and casually inform. There are certainly more serious, comprehensive guides to aging, but Rivers's fans will enjoy this breezy pep talk.Copyright 1999 Reed Business Information, Inc. ### Answer: <Holt Allez, viens!: Student Edition Level 2 2003>, <A Fistful of Charms (The Hollows, Book 4)>, <Flash Professional CS6: Visual QuickStart Guide>, <Negima!: Magister Negi Magi, Vol. 15>, <"Winkle's World (Step Back in Time with Mr. Winkle)">, <Norwegians on the Prairie: Ethnicity and the Development of the Country Town>, <SAT Practice: The New Verbal Section>, <The Really Rotten Princess (Ready-to-Reads)>, <Bach: Violin Concertos in E major, D minor & A minor; Mutter, Accardo>, <Kohler K-11284-BN Forté Cabinet Knob, Vibrant Brushed Nickel>

### Instruction: retrieve labels for this product: "Carolyne Roehm's Seasonal Notebooks" /SEP/ Carolyne Roehm, noted author and lifestyle contributor to Good Morning America, brings her gardening expertise to viewers weekly as the host of Country Homes, Country Gardens.In 1991, Roehm, who had always taken great pleasure in indulging and surrounding herself with things she loved, decided to turn her personal passion for beauty and comfort into a fulfilling career. A longtime associate (and neighbor) of famed couturier, Oscar de la Renta, Roehm began her own fashion business, setting her designs apart from many others in the industry with her unflagging insistence on only the finest quality materials. Her designs quickly found a home with discriminating consumers, as her first year alone saw revenues exceeding $3 million. But Roehm's passion for beauty extended beyond the world of fashion, and she became determined to broaden her horizons accordingly.Following a stint at the famed Paris flower shop, Moulie Savart, Roehm took the knowledge she gained there and put it into practical use for the everyday gardener. Resulting from her considerable experience, she takes great joy in revealing the many secrets she learned to help everyone achieve a bountiful and beautiful garden.In 1997, Roehm published her first book, A Passion for Flowers (September 1997, HarperCollins Publishers) in which she detailed the experts' tricks to perfect gardening. A firm believer in luxury for everyone, Roehm feels that luxury doesn't necessarily mean expensive. Her breathtaking floral arrangements, for example, traditionally contain many common flowers such as carnations, marigolds, bleeding hearts, and Queen Anne's lace, which she collects from her own garden at her Connecticut home.Roehm applies the fashion lessons she learned to her flowers. The familiar cry of "accessorize" is as important to arranging blooms as it is to one's own appearance. "I can't tell you how often I've seen a dress ruined with the wrong accessories," Roehm explains. "It's the same with flowers. Even the most beautiful flowers don't work if they're in the wrong vase or placed against the wrong background." ### Answer: <Expresate Level 3: Holt Spanish 2006>, <Weelicious Lunches: Think Outside the Lunch Box with More Than 160 Happier Meals>, <Systematic Theology, Vol. 2: Doctrine>

### Instruction: retrieve labels for this product: The Professor and the Madman /SEP/ When the editors of theOxford English Dictionaryput out a call during the late 19th century pleading for "men of letters" to provide help with their mammoth undertaking, hundreds of responses came forth. Some helpers, like Dr. W.C. Minor, provided literally thousands of entries to the editors. But Minor, an American expatriate in England and a Civil War veteran, was actually a certified lunatic who turned in his dictionary entries from the Broadmoor Criminal Lunatic Asylum. Simon Winchester has produced a mesmerizing coda to the deeply troubled Minor's life, a life that in one sense began with the senseless murder of an innocent British brewery worker that the deluded Minor believed was an assassin sent by one of his numerous "enemies."Winchester also paints a rich portrait of the OED's leading light, Professor James Murray, who spent more than 40 years of his life on a project he would not see completed in his lifetime. Winchester traces the origins of the drive to create a "Big Dictionary" down through Murray and far back into the past; the result is a fascinating compact history of the English language (albeit admittedly more interesting to linguistics enthusiasts than historians or true crime buffs). That Murray and Minor, whose lives took such wildly disparate turns yet were united in their fierce love of language, were able to view one another as peers and foster a warm friendship is just one of the delicately turned subplots of this compelling book.--Tjames Madison ### Answer: <The Power of Beauty>, <The Retirement Myth: What You Must Know Now to Prosper in the Coming Meltdown of Job Security, Pension Plans, Social Security, the Stock Market, Hou>, <Teresa of Avila: Selections from The Interior Castle (HarperCollins Spiritual Classics)>, <Fatal Decision: Anzio and the Battle for Rome>, <The Top 100 Zone Foods: The Zone Food Science Ranking System>, <Thoughts>, <Gilbert, the Surfer Dude (I Can Read Book 2)>, <The Addict: One Patient, One Doctor, One Year>, <The M-Factor: How the Millennial Generation Is Rocking the Workplace>, <The Zombie Chasers #2: Undead Ahead>, <500 Manga Villains and Heroes>, <After the Funeral: A Hercule Poirot Mystery (Hercule Poirot Mysteries)>, <The Penguin Book of Contemporary Irish Poetry>, <The Gigolo Murder: A Turkish Delight Mystery>, <America in the Movies>, <The Impressionist Line from Degas to Toulouse-Lautrec: Drawings and Prints from the Clark (Sterling & Francine Clark Art Institute)>, <Parable of Two Builders, The>, <Mac OS X Lion Pocket Guide (Peachpit Pocket Guide)>, <Study Guide to accompany Essentials of Managerial Finance>, <"Smith and Roberson's Business Law">, <"Statistical Regression with Measurement Error: Kendall's Library of Statistics 6">, <Junie B., First Grader: Boo...and I Mean It!

### Instruction: retrieve labels for this product: Flower Net /SEP/ "Inspector Liu, do I need to remind you that China has customs and rituals for dealing with guests?" says a top Chinese official to one his police investigators early in Lisa See's tremendously powerful debut thriller. "Remember that all foreigners are potentially dangerous. Don't be tempted to say what you think. Don't show anger or irritation. Be humble and careful and gracious. Draw them in. Let them think they have a connection to you, that they owe you, that they should never cause you any embarrassment. This is how we have treated outsiders for centuries. This is how you will treat this foreigner as long as he is our guest." The fact that the official is her father and the foreigner in question is her former lover, an assistant U.S. attorney named David Stark, makes things much more complicated for Liu Hulan. Hulan is a former Red Princess, one of the privileged children of Chairman Mao's most trusted aides. When two young men (the son of the American ambassador to China and the son of an immensely powerful Chinese businessman with possible criminal connections) are murdered under similar circumstances, Hulan and Stark are cynically manipulated by their respective governments into a joint investigation that exposes the worst of both countries. The situation also gives See a chance to meld her impressive talent for writing fiction with the solid journalism skills that invigorated her family sagaOn Gold Mountain. ### Answer: <Stop Domestic Violence>, <Cases and Materials on Feminist Jurisprudence: Taking Women Seriously, (American Casebook Series)>, <Turnabout>

### Instruction: retrieve labels for this product: "Intimate Lies: F. Scott Fitzgerald and Sheilah Graham Her Son's Story" /SEP/ He was a once-praised novelist and short-story writer who battled alcoholism and obscurity and moved to Los Angeles for his third desperate attempt at making money by screenwriting. She was a British expatriate, an up-and-coming Hollywood gossip columnist with a secret past. Although Sheilah Graham wrote about her romance with F. Scott Fitzgerald after his death (one of the many versions she wrote of her life story,Beloved Infidel, was made into a movie with Deborah Kerr and Gregory Peck), she never quite told anyone the whole truth. Her son, Robert Westbrook, works to set the record straight, using his mother's papers and other resources to place the affair within the contexts of Graham's and Fitzgerald's lives and the "golden age" of filmmaking in which it occurred. The result is a love story peppered with scintillating anecdotes about the movie stars and writers with whom they rubbed elbows, an intimate portrayal of an artistic (but financially ruthless) community as viewed through two of its fiercest aspirants. ### Answer: <The Second X: The Biology of Women>, <Sociology Through the Eyes of Faith>, <This Book Is Overdue!: How Librarians and Cybrarians Can Save Us All>, <Independent Feature Film Production: A Complete Guide from Concept Through Distribution>, <Galois Theory (Graduate Texts in Mathematics)>, <"If You're Going the Wrong Way...Turn Around: How to Head in God's Direction">, <12 Staff Music Writing Pad (Loose Pages (3-hole punched for ring binders))>, <Down Country: The Tano of the Galisteo Basin, 1250-1782>, <Christ Indwelling and Enthroned: 14 Inspiring Messages to Help You Walk in Victory>, <Fundraising as a Career: What, Are You Crazy?

### Instruction: retrieve labels for this product: Under Fire: An American Story /SEP/ Written in secret as if it were a covert operation, then suddenly released, this is unquestionably the "event" book of the year. Here, finally, we might expect to get answers to our questions about what became known as "Iran-contra." Was Marine Lieutenant Colonel North a "loose cannon" on the National Security Council, making U.S. foreign policy on his own? And just what did President Reagan really know about Iran-contra? North writes that Reagan "knew everything" about Iran-contra's covert operations. So too did Vice President Bush. Unfortunately, there is no specific document in the book proving that. What there is, however, is a preponderance of material that leads to an inevitable conclusion: North was a hard-working, well-trained, loyal Marine incapable of undertaking a covert operation without approval by his superiors. For the first time, we hear of and read a document sent to Reagan by North's lawyers, setting forth a sound legal argument for a presidential pardon for North. The letter, we learn, was never acknowledged. There are a number of such chilling moments in this important book. Recommended for most libraries.- Chet Hagan, Berks Cty. P.L.

Real-estate wheeler-dealer Robert Edelman is depicted as an unscrupulous man who was determined to have everything his way; he physically abused his wife, Linda, and terrified their young children with cruel taunts. The man whom he hired to kill Linda subcontracted the murder to a hit man who was actually an undercover FBI agent. The agency set up a sting involving Linda's disappearance and presumed death in order to secure hard evidence against Robert. The sting was almost ruined by Linda's relatives, friends and neighbors, who flocked to her house, which had previously been bugged by Robert. Told with high drama, the tale ends with Robert's trial, conviction and sentencing to 10 years in prison.

### Instruction: retrieve labels for this product: Free to Trade: A Novel of Suspense /SEP/ Ridpath's first novel is a junk bond of a financial thriller, flashy but insubstantial. Trouble comes to narrator Paul Murray, rising bond trader at a small London firm, when one of his colleagues drowns in the Thames. The cops think accident or suicide, but Paul thinks murder, having seen the dead woman's brutal ex-lover molest her just before her death. So Paul starts sleuthing, pursuing leads in London, Manhattan and Arizona and tying the killing into a grand fraud involving a top New York trading firm. At the center of the fraud lurks an icy villain whose manipulations get Paul fired and placed under suspicion of insider trading-and murder. The villain isn't the brutal ex-lover, though, whose main purpose here is to perform gratuitous acts of violence that stick out from the main story like pickles on pudding; instead, the villain is, despite Ridpath's efforts to confound, exactly whom most readers will suspect halfway into the tale-which also suffers from leaden dialogue and myriad coincidences. Ridpath paces matters briskly, conveys the cutthroat ambience of the markets and, along the way, provides a solid seminar in venture capitalism. But anyone interested more in good fiction than high finance will find this offering a bad bargain. 100,000 first printing; $150,000 ad/promo; audio rights to HarperAudio; author tour.Copyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc. ### Answer: <Hanging by a Thread: A Kite’s View of Wisconsin>

### Instruction: retrieve labels for this product: A Garlic Testament: Seasons on a Small New Mexico Farm /SEP/ Unless you're a vampire, you know that garlic is a critical element in good eating. For most people, this knowledge comes from happy experience with garlic-laced cuisines (and what notable culinary tradition is without it?), not book learning, and not working the fields to produce the aromatic bulb. For Stanley Crawford, the love of garlic comes from both scientific study and three decades of labor in the field to produce the exquisite bulbs, knowing full well that "if you grow good garlic people will love you for it." Crawford deserves similar affection forGarlic Testament, a lyrical memoir of his work as a farmer in northern New Mexico, one that combines autobiography, gardening hints, and a quiet philosophy of life. "Farming and writing are both labors ... conducted on flat planes in relative solitude," he writes, but in this fine book--which compares well with the work of fellow farmer-writerWendell Berry--Crawford opens his gate and invites our company.--Gregory McNamee--This text refers to thePaperbackedition. ### Answer: <Where Would Jesus Lead?>, <Dynamic Worship: Mission, Grace, Praise, and Power>, <"From Childhood to Adolescence: Including 'Erdkinder' and the Functions of the University">, <The Language of Jesus: Introducing Aramaic>

### Instruction: retrieve labels for this product: Journal of the Dead: A Story of Friendship and Murder in the New Mexico Desert /SEP/ "The man of knowledge," Nietzsche is said to have remarked, "must not only be able to love his enemies; he must also be able to hate his friends." Indeed, it's a thirst for existential knowledge and adventure that unexpectedly pushes two bosom friends beyond the brink of disaster--and ultimately calls into question the very meaning of friendship--inJournal of the Dead. Jacob Kersten's riveting account—expanding on an article originally published inMaxim--reconstructs the true-crime story of a baffling murder that took place one desperate morning in 1999 in New Mexico's Rattlesnake Canyon. Raffi Kodikian and David Coughlin, having lost their way after embarking on a casual, short-term hike in the desert, find themselves out of hope, on the verge of fatal dehydration. According to a journal kept by Kodikian, they decide on a mutual suicide pact to spare each other excruciating pain before an inevitable death. Yet Kodikian survives after stabbing his friend. Soon afterward, he is rescued by rangers and subsequently charged with the murder of his best friend.Kersten's source material has a disturbingly fascinating quality from the start, but his accomplishment in shaping it into a multi-layered narrative is admirable and artful. Kersten pulls out all the stops in depicting not just the back story of these two friends and their circle but also the deeper focus of the history of the desert, its allure and attendant attractions--in particular the Carlsbad Caverns--along with intriguing excursions on such topics as the biology of dehydration, the mechanics of topographical maps, and the legal niceties of the "intoxication defense." His choice of background details enhances our sense of the extreme situation in which these unfortunate individuals are trapped and helps retard our easy judgment of Kodikian’s choice. Kersten is especially good at restoring an element of suspense--the outcome of the desert tragedy is replayed earlier in his book--in the way he allows the ensuing courtroom drama to unfold. Yet however much he attempts to maintain an aura of ambiguity around Kodikian's motives, Kersten can't quite efface a stance of exculpatory compassion.--Thomas May ### Answer: <A Brief History of Western Civilization: The Unfinished Legacy, Volume I (to 1715) (5th Edition)>, <Better Homes & Gardens, Santa Claus Collection Volume1>

### Instruction: retrieve labels for this product: Dolly: My Life and Other Unfinished Business /SEP/ Even people who don't know country music from Kaopectate know Dolly Parton, the big-in-front, big-on-top blonde with the perky, little-girl voice who seems sometimes a hick Mae West and sometimes sweeter than Little Mary Sunshine. Given her obvious assets, the tabloid crowd knows her, too, which only increases the appeal of her memoirs. Well, she's more Mary than Mae here, with plenty of vanilla-lite sex-talk and spoofing of her persona ("It costs a lot to make a person look this cheap," etc.) but nary a word about extramarital tumbles or surgical augmentation of her charms. She explains that while she does indeed sleep with longtime friend Judy Ogle, it's not, never was, what suspicious minds think. She praises husband Carl Dean every time she speaks his name, and she doesn't say anything catty about Porter Wagoner, on whose TV show she found fame in the early 1970s and with whom she famously fought. In short,Dolly's so squeaky clean and nice that a reader can't help wondering why HarperCollins wouldn't countenance advance reviews and sent out no early copies. The book contains no secrets to expose, no juice to spill. That doesn't mean it's flat--coming from Dolly, how could it be? It's an entertaining country music rags-to-riches story, full of just enough humor and heart to thoroughly charm the fans.Ray Olson ### Answer: <Myself and the Other Fellow: A Life of Robert Louis Stevenson>, <Nellie Oleson Meets Laura Ingalls (Little House)>, <Ms. Krup Cracks Me Up!

They include stints as one of Aimee Semple McPherson's street preachers working the East Los Angeles barrios, as a prelim fighter in local rings and as an acclaimed painter. Writing with freelancer Paisner, Quinn recalls his self-doubts concerning marriage to Cecil B. DeMille's daughter when he was a lowly Paramount contract player and his early struggles to overcome typecasting as an actor who could play only gangsters and Mexican bandits. With verve and wit he relates how he prepared his most famous roles: Gauguin in Lust for Life, Zampano in La Strada, Zorba in Zorba the Greek and others, and how he managed to put his own personal stamp on the role of Stanley Kowalski in the road company of A Streetcar Named Desire despite Brando's indelible characterization.

InNaples at Table, Arthur Schwartz reveals the unexpected breadth and depth of dishes to be enjoyed in Naples and throughout Campania, the rich region where this culinarily underappreciated city is located.Campania is the home of mozzarella. In fact, by Italian law, only cheese made from the milk of the water buffalo of Campania should be bear this name; the cow's-milk cheese we call mozzarella is more rightly calledfior di latte, "flower of the milk."To most people, southern Italy is the land of red sauce, from the lightsalsa insalata, made with raw tomatoes marinated in olive oil and seasoned with salt and basil, to hefty, long-simmered, meat-flavored ragu. Schwartz introduces us toLa Genovese, an onion-based sauce Neapolitans began making centuries before the tomato arrived from the New World so they could pair it with its soul mate, pasta.Anyone interested in Italian food will find the more than 250 recipes and the almost overwhelming wealth of information inNaples at Tablefascinating. There is history, going back to the ancient Greeks, and stories as only Schwartz can recount them. One of the best is howZuppa Inglesemay have gotten its name.

The selections provide an introduction to his unique blend of Caribbean, Asian and Latin and North American cooking, ranging from tapas and soups through fish and meats to basic pantry preparations and cocktails. Van Aken was not trained in a culinary school and his preparations steer clear of jargon or complex techniques; specialized ingredients are seldom more exotic than scotch bonnet chiles, tomatillos or jicama (which, nowadays, are widely available). That said, he does offer such recipes as Savory Chicken Stew with a Corn Crust and Deviled Lobster, which are straightforward but have long ingredient lists and require time and careful attention to execute correctly. Combined with Van Aken's many thoughtful sidebars and notations, the sophistication of these recipes make this a treat for serious home cooks.Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information, Inc. ### Answer: <"I'm Mighty!">, <Luxury Online: Styles, Systems, Strategies>, <The Wonderful Era Of The Great Dance Bands (Da Capo Paperback)>, <Marianne and the lords of the East>, <Le Tombeau de Couperin and Valses Nobles et Sentimentales in Full Score (Dover Music Scores)>, <Empire of Difference: The Ottomans in Comparative Perspective>, <Dead of Night (The Youngbloods)>, <How to Draw Wizards, Warriors, Orcs and Elves>, <"What's Wrong with Postmodernism?: Critical Theory and the Ends of Philosophy (Parallax: Re-visions of Culture and Society)">, <The Face of the Tiger>, <Become a Person of Influence: Learn Basic, Fundamental Skills to Have Influence with People and Make a Difference in Your Corporate, Family and Social Life>, <"Dragon Ball Z "It's Over 9,000!"

This book provides a full autobiographical treatment of the 27-year-old Byrd, but its essence is a graphic, arresting description of the physical and emotional devastation he experienced from the moment of impact to the present time. The strenuous work undertaken during his recovery is detailed, as are Byrd's spiritual reflections. In a matter of months, Byrd defied all predictions and reasonable hopes and began walking again. He relates the role played by his wife, family, friends, doctors, therapists, and the general public; a combination of "medicine and miracles, of divine love and human faith and, yes, of endless hours of sweat, and pain and tears."

### Instruction: retrieve labels for this product: Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus: A Practical Guide for Improving Communication and Getting What You Want in Your Relationships /SEP/ Relationship counselor John Gray focuses on the differences between men and women--men are from Mars, and women are from Venus, after all--and offers a simple solution: couples must acknowledge and accept these differences before they can develop happier relationships. In this unabridged version, Gray gives a spirited delivery of his message, especially when role-playing typical male/female interactions. Although it takes some time to adjust to his slightly nasal tone, the information is sound and gives both men and women helpful hints on improving themselves and their union.

### Instruction: retrieve labels for this product: Magical Passes: The Practical Wisdom of the Shamans of Ancient Mexico /SEP/ Cult author Castaneda has written nine books (e.g., The Teachings of Don Juan, LJ 3/1/69) chronicling the life and practices of Yaqui sorcerer Don Juan Matus. While these books talk about the magical and shamanistic practices of Don Juan and his lineages, this new book begins with Don Juan chiding Castaneda about his physical well-being (or lack of it) and then teaching Castaneda the physical movements practiced by the sorcerers. These magical movements are called "tensegrity"?a combination of the tension of contracting and relaxing with the integrity of the body moving in one complete unit. The bulk of the book is a detailed step-by-step description and photographs of the movements, which can be done following the book but require a concentration that cuts out extraneous thought.

### Instruction: retrieve labels for this product: Ladies of the Grand Tour: British Women in Pursuit of Enlightenment and Adventure in Eighteenth-Century Europe /SEP/ For upper-class Englishmen in the 18th century, travel on the Continent represented pretty much what it does for college students today a chance to learn a few things and have some unsupervised fun. For women of that era, however, it might represent an opportunity denied to them at home: freedom from a narrowly defined femininity, the chance to develop and exercise their intelligence, an escape from an abusive marriage or, occasionally, a career as a travel writer or political correspondent. As Dolan points out, however, these benefits came at some real cost, since Continental travel, even for the rich, was neither comfortable nor safe, and the woman who remained too long abroad risked condemnation at home as unpatriotic, unfeminine or unchaste. While some were decidedly the last, using a sojourn abroad to pursue an irregular sexual liaison or to conceal its results, many found in revolutionary Paris or benign Tuscany a personal and intellectual liberty impossible in England and, like Mary Wollstonecraft, wrote home to say so. Although this book is richly detailed and immensely entertaining, it is a bit of a grab-bag in which women of no particular interest jostle for space with the genuinely significant. Still, it is hard to forget the otherwise obscure Elizabeth Webster, reluctant repatriate, being borne backwards over the Alps so that she would not lose sight of her beloved Italy until the last possible moment. 16 pages of color photos not seen by PW.

### Instruction: retrieve labels for this product: Elizabeth: The Struggle for the Throne /SEP/ The Virgin Queen, Gloriana, Good Queen Bess; Elizabeth I holds a unique place in the English imagination as one of the nation's most powerful, charismatic, and successful monarchs. Elizabeth usually is imagined as the icy, untouchable figure, re-created memorably on screen by Bette Davis and Dame Judi Dench, but that vision of Elizabeth ignores the turbulent years of her early life, from her birth as the daughter of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn in 1533 until her accession to the throne in 1558 after the death of her sister Mary. It is these early years that are the subject ofDavid Starkey's fascinatingElizabeth, which was written to accompany the television series about her life.Starkey argues that Elizabeth, in her first 25 years, "had experienced every vicissitude of fortune and every extreme of condition. She had been Princess and inheritrix of England, and bastard and disinherited; the nominated successor to the throne and an accused traitor on the verge of execution; showered with lands and houses, and a prisoner in the Tower". He draws on his skills as a respected Tudor historian to produce a deft account of the religious, political, and dynastic maelstrom of mid-16th-century England that reads "like a historical thriller." The book carefully picks its way through the finer points of contemporary religious conflict and the peculiarities of Tudor court ceremony, while exploring also the formation of Elizabeth's character in relation to a murdered mother, a charismatic father, a tortured sister, and a predatory guardian. Highly readable, and written with verve and pace, this is a fascinating account of the young Elizabeth.--Jerry Brotton, Amazon.co.uk ### Answer: <Landscapes in Pastel (Collins Learn to Paint)>, <Behind Bars: Surviving Prison>, <Graphic Organizer Posters: My Timeline (Grades 3-6): 30 Fill-in Personal Posters for Students to Display with Pride>, <Pale Moon Stalker (Leisure Historical Romance)>

### Instruction: retrieve labels for this product: Run, Bullet, Run: The Rise, Fall, and Recovery of Bob Hayes /SEP/ Hayes, often dubbed the world's fastest human, first distinguished himself as the winner of two gold medals in the Tokyo Olympics in 1964. (Indeed, the evidence suggests that he ran the anchor lap in the 400-meter relay in 8.6 seconds, an almost incredible time.) He went on to enjoy an exceptional career in football as a pass receiver with the Dallas Cowboys. But after Hayes retired he became peripherally involved in a drug deal, spent 10 months in prison and then endured further troubles with alcohol. In this autobiography, written with freelancer Pack, he is as forthcoming as when he was in the public eye: he recalls his poverty-ridden childhood, his academically unsuccessful college career, his two failed marriages. Hayes proves equally outspoken on racism in America and on professional football's tolerance for players' drug and alcohol abuse so long as the sport's image is not damaged. The unswerving candor makes this book more than just another athlete's story. Photos not seen by PW.Copyright 1990 Reed Business Information, Inc. ### Answer: <The Secret Wedding Dress>

### Instruction: retrieve labels for this product: A Way Through the Wilderness: The Natchez Trace and the Civilization of the Southern Frontier /SEP/ On April 7, 1798, Congress created the Mississippi Territory, a land that had seen French, British and Spanish rule within four decades. Davis (Jefferson Davis: The Man and His Hour) chronicles the development of the Old Southwest (Mississippi and Alabama) from early settlement through the 1830s. Settlers came overland from Nashville, Tenn., to Natchez, Miss. (the "Trace"), or by boat on the great river. This is lively history, replete with colorful characters?Col. James Wilkinson, Aaron Burr, Sir William Dunbar and a man who tried his hand at everything, Gideon Lincecum. The author paints a vivid picture of Natchez as sin city with its drinking, whoring and gambling. He charts the rise of King Cotton and conflicts between merchants and planters. He describes Indian-white relations, the struggles to set up schools and churches and state politics. Davis leaves no doubt the Southern Frontier was just as wild as the Wild West. Illustrations.

### Instruction: retrieve labels for this product: Clever Girl: Elizabeth Bentley, the Spy Who Ushered in the McCarthy Era /SEP/ Kessler (The Happy Bottom Riding Club: The Life and Times of Pancho Barnes) gamely attempts to create a true-life romantic spy-thriller from the life of Elizabeth Bentley, who in 1945 confessed to being a Soviet spy, implicated Julius Rosenberg and many others and set America off on its journey through McCarthyism. Unfortunately, Kessler's attempt to draw tension and romance from Bentley's life fails amid a clutter of cameos, unexplored details and a superficial rendering of early Communist history in the U.S. Bentley is certainly an intriguing subject. A descendant of Puritans and educated at Vassar, she joined the Communist Party while a graduate student at Columbia in the Depression. She soon became a covert agent and fell in love with her KGB contact, Jacob Golos. When Golos died in her apartment and Bentley's position with the Russians deteriorated, she reached out to the FBI. Kessler is a fine writer, but her subjects just don't cooperate. Bentley's "romance" with the homely, secretive Golos is hardly romantic, and much early American Communist history is still obscured beneath the shroud of secrecy under which it operated. Finally, Bentley appears to have left little behind to aid in reliably reconstituting her life. Despite Kessler's best efforts, the result falls short as spy thriller, as biography and as history. 8 pages of b&w; photos not seen by PW.Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information, Inc. ### Answer: <Psychology: From Inquiry to Understanding (2nd Edition)>

Given the huge gaps in theoretical astronomy that remain, theirs was not an unreasonable approach . In her much longer exegesis, science writer Bartusiak ( Thursday's Universe ) finds no odds-on winner, either. She offers a lively review of astronomers' struggle to find the stuff of the universe since Hubble. Sidelights on the quirks in the personal lives of 19th-century astronomers (the author is more discreet in her profiles of the living) interrupt the time line of the science. With the number of portraits and interviews here, the book would have been as appropriately subtitled Lives of the Astronomers.

### Instruction: retrieve labels for this product: "Prime Time Emeril: More TV Dinners From America's Favorite Chef" /SEP/ With his ubiquitous Food Network cooking programs,Good Morning Americaappearances, five bestselling cookbooks, six celebrated restaurants, and starring role in an NBC sitcom, celebrity chef Emeril Lagasse may be the ultimate "food ambassador." "Nothing makes me happier than getting people involved with food, excited about food, and cooking food," he says in the introduction toPrime Time Emeril: More TV Dinners from America's Favorite Chef. We may wonder if Emeril's over-the-top antics actually inspire his legions of viewers to spend more quality time in the kitchen, but there's no argument that he gets people excited about food. The mere addition of garlic, heavy cream, butter, or the slightest drop of truffle oil to one of Emeril's decadent dishes and his studio audience explodes with a fevered enthusiasm akin to a frenzied mob of face-painted hockey fans up in the nosebleed seats during the playoffs. As an Amazon.com customer from Boutte, Louisiana, writes, when it comes to Emeril "...there are two competing factions. Those who love and worship Emeril and those who refuse to." But, as Emeril might say, we "won't go there."Prime Time Emerilis packed with menu ideas highlighting Emeril's well-known Louisiana-by-way-of-Fall River-Massachusetts cuisine. Recipe introductions feature witty Emerilisms (his "roux theory": a nice, dark brown roux requires about 25 to 30 minutes cooking time, or the amount of time it takes to knock back two beers) and chapter titles like "Pork Fat," "Y'All Southern?" and "Macho Meats," among others, set the tone. Comfort food is on the menu, including Chicken, Bacon, and White Bean Soup Portuguese-Style and Baked Ziti with Italian Sausage and Fennel ("love in a bowl"), along with more elegant fare such as Apricot-Glazed Cornish Game Hens with Sausage-Rice Pilaf Stuffing and Chilled Roasted Beet and Fennel Soup with Apple-Mint Crema and Toasted Pistachios. Any Super Bowl party would welcome his Turkey Chili; Baked Crabmeat, Artichoke, and Spinach Dip; or Kicked-Up Chicken Drummettes with Blue Cheese Sauce. And just imagine the killer next-day sandwiches Emeril's Spiced Baked Ham with Sweet Potatoes would provide.Emeril may want his readers "to be at ease with making homemade pâtés or consommés, pickling, and home smoking," and maybePrime Time Emerilwill inspire them to be more adventurous in the kitchen, but odds are they'd be more than happy just watching him on TV, sprinkling his signature Essence on everything in sight and shouting "Bam!"--Brad Thomas Parsons ### Answer: <The Documents in the Case>, <Ana Cultiva Manzanas / Apple Farmer Annie: A Bilingual Edition in Spanish and English>, <Enchanted Lions>, <The Root Cause Analysis Handbook: A Simplified Approach to Identifying, Correcting, and Reporting Workplace Errors>, <"Warman's Pepsi Field Guide: Values and Identification (Warman's Field Guide)">, <me and Nina>, <A Certain Scientific Railgun Vol. 3>, <Platinum Breakz II>

### Instruction: retrieve labels for this product: "Abandon Ship!: The Saga of the U.S.S. Indianapolis, the Navy's Greatest Sea Disaster" /SEP/ In July 1945, the heavy cruiserU.S.S. Indianapolisput in at the Pacific atoll of Tinian to deliver a rare cargo: several hundred pounds of uranium, the makings of the two atomic bombs that only a few weeks later would be dropped on Japan. Having discharged this duty, theIndianapolismade way for Guam, and thence for the Philippines, in waters that the high command had assured its captain were safe. En route, it crossed the path of a Japanese submarine, which fired six torpedoes and sank the cruiser, killing hundreds of sailors--some of whom were devoured by sharks--and leaving others to float in the open ocean for days.Almost as soon as the survivors of theIndianapoliswere rescued, the cruiser's unfortunate captain, an Annapolis graduate named Charles Butler McVay III, was court-martialed for his alleged failure to practice evasive maneuvers in enemy waters. Eventually exonerated of all but one charge, McVay still could not escape blame for the ship's loss, and he killed himself in 1968. Richard Newcomb'sAbandon Ship!, first published in 1958, brought McVay's sad case to the American public's attention with a vigorous you-are-there account that depicts the miscalculations--and willful misrepresentations--that condemned theIndianapolis. The case was recently reopened thanks to the efforts of McVay's family and a bright middle-school student who looked into the matter as a class project. As a result, the scapegoated captain's name has been cleared. In this edition, McVay's case is updated by the noted true-crime author Peter Maas, whose arguments in McVay's favor add to Newcomb's original findings. Superb as historical journalism, the book is also a fascinating document in the annals of military justice.--Gregory McNamee ### Answer: <Holt Earth Science: Student Edition 2006>, <A Reason to Teach: Creating Classrooms of Dignity and Hope>, <Roaring Camp: The Social World of the California Gold Rush>, <Rand McNally Easy to Read!

### Instruction: retrieve labels for this product: The Seven Ages /SEP/ Since the mid-1970s, critics and readers have admired Glck's spare, deceptively simple style; her poems subject the autobiographical, even confessional impulse to analytical rigor, arranging soul-searching questions and symbols into sequences frequently modeled on famous old texts the Odyssey or the biblical Creation. The stark intensities and challenging questions in Gluck's ninth book of poems investigate the disappointments, unfinished quests and unanswered questions that compose, arrange and ruin a life Glck's own, for example, and that of her older sister, who plays the pivotal role husbands and parents have played in some of her previous work. Glck dares her readers to ask, as they might have in childhood, general, harrowing questions: "Why do I suffer? Why am I ignorant?" She dares herself, as well, to live without answers: "I'm awake; I am in the world / I expect/ no further assurance." Careful scenes, queries and moments of self-analysis throughout the volume investigate time the ways in which we change in the course of a lifetime; the ways our minds change from moment to moment; and the ways in which time changes everything, creating "a world in process/ of shifting, of being made or dissolved,/ and yet we didn't live that way." Considering age and aging, summer and fall, "stasis" and constant loss, Gluck's new poems often forsake the light touch of her last few books for the grim wisdom she sought in the 1980s; at the same time, her lines on herself, young and old, and on these stages for her sister and herself, are frequently wise, densely crafted meditations on the odd possibility of "actual human growth." (Apr.)Forecast: Gluck won a Pulitzer, and a wider audience, with The Wild Iris (1993); subsequent explorations of more comic and casual modes have met mixed response. Last year's Vita Nova, however, was recently awarded the biannual Bollingen prize (including $50,000 cash) given by Yale University Library in honor of a recently published American collection which should generate sales for both books.Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information, Inc. ### Answer: <>

### Instruction: retrieve labels for this product: Bare Blass /SEP/ New York Times fashion critic Horyn teamed up with quintessential American designer Blass to write this memoir in 1999. They finished it just weeks before his death on June 12 of this year. Nonlinear in format-Blass skips from telling of a 1949 prize he won for designing a gingham dress with a patent leather belt, to a 1971 fashion show in Fort Wayne, Ind., and then back to his role serving in the armed forces during WWII-the book has the feel of a scrapbook of memories, which is indeed delightful when one considers the colorful life Blass led. Originally from the Midwest, he moved to New York at age 17 and eventually became one of fashion's biggest names. Written in the first person and peppered with snapshots of Blass with Pat Buckley, Nancy Kissinger, Nancy Reagan, Gloria Vanderbilt and others, Blass's memoir is at once a tribute to the designer and, as he writes, "a typical American success story."Copyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc. ### Answer: <The Romantic Machine: Utopian Science and Technology after Napoleon>, <K-ON!, Vol. 2>, <Witchfall (The Tudor Witch Trilogy)>, <"On Angel's Eve: Making the Most of Your Final Time Together">, <"Anonymous: Jesus' hidden years...and yours">, <The Strongest Animals in the World Are Herbivores>

### Instruction: retrieve labels for this product: "God's Secretaries: The Making of the King James Bible" /SEP/ The King James Bible remains the most influential Bible translation of all time. Its elegant style and the exalted cadences of its poetry and prose echo forcefully in Shakespeare, Milton, T.S. Eliot and Reynolds Price. As travel writer Nicolson points out, however, the path to the completion of the translation wasn't smooth. When James took the throne in England in early 1603, he inherited a country embroiled in theological controversy. Relishing a good theological debate, the king appointed himself as a mediator between the Anglicans and the reformist Puritans, siding in the end with the Anglican Church as the party that posed the least political threat to his authority. As a result of these debates, James agreed to commission a new translation of the Bible as an olive branch to the Puritans. Between 1604 and 1611, various committees engaged in making a new translation that attended more to the original Greek and Hebrew than had earlier versions. Nicolson deftly chronicles the personalities involved, and breezily narrates the political and religious struggles of the early 17th century. Yet, the circumstances surrounding this translation are already well known from two earlier books-Benson Bobrick's Wide as the Waters and Alister McGrath's In the Beginning-and this treatment adds little that is new. Although Nicolson succeeds at providing insight into the diverse personalities involved in making the King James Bible, Bobrick's remains the most elegant and comprehensive treatment of the process.Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information, Inc. ### Answer: <Earthquake at Dawn (Great Episodes)>, <"Best Practice, Today's Standards for Teaching and Learning in America's Schools">, <Life Extension: A Practical Scientific Approach>, <"Eating for Autism: The 10-Step Nutrition Plan to Help Treat Your Child's Autism, Asperger's, or ADHD">, <Writing, Grade 8 (Spectrum)>, <PBJ and me: Two humans and four dogs on a cross country road trip>, <Klein Tools 603-6 No.3 Profilated Phillips 6-Inch Round Shank Tip Screwdriver>

### Instruction: retrieve labels for this product: Mad Girls In Love /SEP/ With young Bitsy Wentworth's nose-shattering blow to her philandering husband Claude's handsome face (motive: self-defense; weapon: frozen rack of baby back ribs), West launches this warm but overloaded chronicle of three generations of Southern female eccentricity and spunk. It's August 1972, and Claude is out cold, so Bitsy flees Crystal Falls, Tenn., with their baby, Jennifer, a move that will lose her custody of (though not contact with) her daughter while setting in motion her evolution from girl-wife to worldly interior decorator 20 years later. This follow-up to West's debut,Crazy Ladies,reunites readers with familiar characters, including Bitsy's mother, Dorothy McDougal—who from a Nashville mental institution wages a letter-writing campaign to Pat Nixon on Bitsy's behalf—and Dorothy's sister, Clancy Jane, a hippie cafe owner. Despite well-wrought moments of reconciliation between estranged women throughout (Jennifer's ultimate gesture of forgiveness for Bitsy is especially understated and touching), the novel bogs down in endless female feuding and repetitive male faithlessness (i.e., Claude; Bitsy's second husband, Louie; and Jennifer's almost-husband Pierre). Quirky minor characters and subplots overcrowd this 500-plus page novel, but when West focuses on the complexities of familial or romantic relationships, the novel is at its most heartfelt.(July)Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

### Instruction: retrieve labels for this product: "A Plague upon Humanity: The Secret Genocide of Axis Japan's Germ Warfare Operation" /SEP/ Only last year did a Japanese court acknowledge that Japanese germ warfare experiments in China took place during WWII. A useful overview of the history of biological warfare provides a historical context for the gruesome experiments on humans that began in northern China in the early 1930s, linked to the military expansion Japan began during the 1930s and fathered by scientist Shiro Ishii, who figures prominently in the book among the 20,000 Japanese professionals involved (some of whom knowingly distributed tainted food). The accounts of experiments on humans and massive germ warfare attacks against civilians-more than 400,000 Chinese died of cholera after two attacks in 1943-include the testimony of Chinese victims and witnesses as well as some Japanese. While most atrocities were committed against Chinese and Koreans, some Westerners, including American prisoners of war, were also victims. The most thoughtful portions of the book, Washington Post contributor Barenblatt's debut, explore how such atrocities "...coldly preserve medicine's scientific devices while annihilating all its high ideals." Shameful U.S. government efforts, spearheaded by MacArthur, to protect the Japanese perpetrators from prosecution in exchange for their research, even to the extent of characterizing the only war crimes trial that prosecuted perpetrators as propaganda (it was conducted by the Soviets), are well documented. The postwar material includes highly controversial claims of America's use of biological warfare during the Korean War. Although many of the gruesome facts have been published before, Barenblatt brings together the many contexts of how Japan's war machine came to commit medical-biological war crimes on a massive scale, with a final death toll of 580,000.Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information, Inc. ### Answer: <"My Grandfather's Son">, <"My American Revolution: A Modern Expedition Through History's Forgotten Battlegrounds">, <"The Black Stallion's Sulky Colt">, <The Eugenics Wars, Vol. 2: The Rise and Fall of Khan Noonien Singh (Star Trek: Eugenics Wars)>, <Introduction to Linear Algebra, Fourth Edition>

### Instruction: retrieve labels for this product: The Vendetta Defense /SEP/ You can't read past the first chapter of Lisa Scottoline's newest legal thriller without mentally casting the actor who might play Pigeon Tony, the charming and totally authentic defendant who's on trial for killing the man who raped and murdered his wife, destroyed his son and daughter-in-law in a staged "accident," and has threatened the life of his grandson. Robert De Niro's too threatening, Joe Mantegna's too young, Marlon Brando's too fat, but somewhere there must be a celluloid counterpart to one of the most delightful antiheroes in recent crime fiction. Meanwhile, this wonderful character study of a man of conscience on trial for a crime of passion will divert and entertain fans of Scottoline's previous novels about Bennie Rosato's high-estrogen Philadelphia law firm (Moment of Truth,Mistaken Identity).When Judy Carrier, one of Bennie's attorneys, takes on Tony's defense, she's faced with a legal and moral dilemma. Tony admits that he killed Angelo Coluzzi, but insists it wasn't murder but vendetta, a justifiable payback for a blood crime committed nearly half a century ago and a continent away. The Coluzzi family knows about vendetta, too--they've got their own payback planned, and the trick for Judy is keeping Pigeon Tony (and herself) alive long enough to get them to trial. There's a complicationde coeurwhen Judy falls in love with Tony's grandson, a hunky stonemason who will do for fences what Robert James Waller did for covered bridges (Clint Eastwood's too old, Brad Pitt's too young, etc.). But all's well that ends well in a tidy little read that will probably earn Scottoline another well-deserved shot at the bestseller list.--Jane Adams ### Answer: <"The serpent and the Stag: The Saga of England's Powerful and Glamourous Cavendish Family from the Age of Henry the Eighth to the Present">, <Holt McDougal Library: Individual Leveled Reader with Connections The Fire Next Time>, <Holt Allez, viens!: Travaux Grammar Level 2>, <I Love School!>, <A Dime to Dance by>, <"Don't Try This at Home: A Year in the Life of Dave Navarro">, <Love Is a Family>, <Hold the Flag High>, <George Washington: The Founding Father (Eminent Lives)>, <Scranimals>, <Washington Quarter 1932-1990, Album>, <The New York Times T.G.I.F.

### Instruction: retrieve labels for this product: "From Emeril's Kitchens: Favorite Recipes from Emeril's Restaurants" /SEP/ Emeril is probably the best-known food personality in America today, and in this latest offering, he draws on the signature dishes of his eight (soon to be nine) restaurants and their chefs to provide a cookbook sure to please his legions of fans. Spreading his philosophy and history in the introduction, he entreats the user not to be put off by the complexity of many of the recipes, but to use the components and mix and match the dishes. The first chapter, "Basics," contains the building blocks of many of the dishes, ranging from the customary stocks to Hard Boiled Eggs and Roast Duck. Subsequent chapters are structured in the usual manner ranging from appetizers and first courses through desserts. Each dish is attributed to its restaurant or chef and results in a range of styles and inspirations. Some knowledge and skill is required (more, perhaps than in his previous books): there's the Warm Watercress Salad with Stir Fried Beef and Kimchee, where the Kimchee is made 24 hours in advance, as well as the Roasted Atlantic Salmon with Herbed Potato Cakes, Granny Smith Apple Butter, Citrus Fennel Salad, and Salmon Roe. It is within these components that the real strength of the book lies, where dressings, sides and garnishes add polish and sophistication that inspire the home cook to greater heights and confidence.Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information, Inc. ### Answer: <"The Complete Idiot's Guide to Playing Guitar (2nd Edition)">, <Princess in Love (The Princess Diaries, Vol. 3)>, <"Discover Your Sensual Potential: A Woman's Guide to Guaranteed Satisfaction">, <Unnatural Death (Lord Peter Wimsey Mysteries)>, <The Documents in the Case>, <Lord Peter>, <The Five Red Herrings>, <The Big Book of Illustration Ideas 2>, <Silly Street>, <"Your Daughter's Bedroom: Insights for Raising Confident Women">, <The Military History of the Soviet Union>, <Savage Anxieties: The Invention of Western Civilization>, <Asian Business and Management: Theory, Practice and Perspectives>, <Conquering the Sky: The Secret Flights of the Wright Brothers at Kitty Hawk>, <After Christianity>, <"The Cinema of Terry Gilliam: It's a Mad World (Directors' Cuts)">, <The Angel Experiment: A Maximum Ride Novel (Book 1)>, <Capitol Conspiracy: A Novel>, <It Looked Different on the Model: Epic Tales of Impending Shame and Infamy>, <When Love Calls, You Better Answer: A Novel>, <All That Follows: A Novel>, <The Woman Who Died in Her Sleep>, <Tooth Trouble (Ready, Freddy #1)>, <SUSE Linux 10 Bible>, <American Criminal Justice Policy: An Evaluation Approach to Increasing Accountability and Effectiveness>, <Red, Green, Blue: A First Book of Colors>, <Ana Cultiva Manzanas / Apple Farmer Annie: A Bilingual Edition in Spanish and English>, <Sheetzucacapoopoo: My Kind of Dog>, <Enchanted Lions>, <The Root Cause Analysis Handbook: A Simplified Approach to Identifying, Correcting, and Reporting Workplace Errors>, <North Korean Memoirs>, <Golf Handbook for Women: The Complete Guide to Improving Your Game>, <The Official Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide, 31st Edition>, <The First Book of Common-Sense Management>, <The Malcontent (New Mermaids)>, <"America's 25 Favorite Old-Time Gospel Songs: Volume Three">, <Lasting Love: How to Avoid Marital Failure>, <The Man Who Emptied Death Row: Governor George Ryan and the Politics of Crime (Elmer H Johnson & Carol Holmes Johnson Series in Criminology)>, <Tempt the Devil (Leisure historical romance)>, <The Doorkeepers>, <Shadow Realms (Wilderness #44)>, <"Paul: A Man of Grace and Grit (Great Lives from God's Word, Volume 6)">, <"God at Your Wits' End: Hope for Wherever You Are">, <Girl Groups: Fabulous Females That Rocked the World>, <"Warman's Watches Field Guide: Values and Identification (Warman's Field Guide)">, <Jesus Our Guide (Faith and Life Serie, Book 4)>, <Cooking Beyond Measure: How to Eat Well without Formal Recipes (Measurefree Kitchen Companion Trilogy)>, <To Live & Die In LA>, <Higher Power: Seeking God in 12-Step Recovery>, <What Does A Bee Do?>, <Brand-Name Zen: The Commodification of Zen in the West>, <The Italian American Cookbook: A Feast of Food from a Great American Cooking Tradition>, <me and Nina>, <A Certain Scientific Railgun Vol. 3>, <Platinum Breakz II>

### Instruction: retrieve labels for this product: The Sexiest Man Alive: A Biography of Warren Beatty /SEP/ Warren wants the entire world to go to bed with him, explains an unidentified friend of the actor's, and Amburn's book attempts to prove it through a voyeuristic cataloguing of Beatty's sexual episodes, until the pretense of a balanced biography dissolves into a series of personal attacks. Discussions of Beatty's dysfunctional childhood and rivalry with sister Shirley MacLaine are sandwiched between chatter about carnal exploits that allegedly range from Cher to Barbra Streisand and gossip about bad behavior, such as the time Beatty left Natalie Wood in a restaurant and ran off for a three-day interlude with a checkroom girl. Madonna, his co-star in Dick Tracy, emerges as a viciously competitive woman who denigrated Beatty's success, age and lovemaking. More interesting is the actor's relationship with critic Pauline Kael and the elaborate revenge he took on her for an unfavorable review. Jack Nicholson, King of Kink; Roman Polanski, seducer of underage girls; and jaded Hugh Hefner steam up several pages. Amburn (a former William Morrow editor) crucifies most of Beatty's movies, save Reds and Shampoo even Bonnie and Clyde gets dismissed as a shamelessly amoral glamorization of crime. Then, as if apologetic for a harshly one-sided portrait, the author praises Beatty for helping raise money after September 11 (Warren's heart, as it had been so often in his life, was in the right place), but this upbeat conclusion fails to remove the aftertaste of character assassination. 8 pages b&w; photos.Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information, Inc. ### Answer: <Midnight Fire>

### Instruction: retrieve labels for this product: Pride, Prejudice and Jasmin Field: A Novel /SEP/ A plucky hybrid of Bridget Jones and Elizabeth Bennett, heroine Jasmin Field will attract devotees of Fielding and Austen to this flimsy but likable update of Pride and Prejudice. Londoner Jasmin, or Jazz to her friends, writes a confessional column for Hoorah, a "trashy women's magazine" that runs features like "I married my poodle." She gets wind of a charity adaptation of Pride and Prejudice being directed by mega-star Harry Nobel, and auditions for it along with her actress sister, George, and her best friend, Mo. Unexpectedly cast as Lizzy, Jazz strikes up a flirtation with dishy actor William Whitby (playing Wickham) and develops a serious antipathy to Harry Nobel (a Hollywood-style Darcy), whose insufferable arrogance she can't wait to skewer in her column. In the meantime, George finds love with a rakish fellow actor and Mo begins a dalliance with Jazz's nemesis, the oily Gilbert. Like Austen's beloved protagonist, Jazz is strong-minded and stubborn and, also like Lizzy, she must confront the painful realization that her firmly held opinions are not always correct. Nathan's breezy plot follows Austen's story line almost exactly, even going so far as to have many of her characters portray their Austen equivalents in the TV production. Her attempts to remain true to the original novel make for some implausible moments, as when Jazz's younger sister gets implicated in a tabloid scandal with Whitby. A few more creative departures from Austen, along the lines of Helen Fielding's tweaking of the same novel in Bridget Jones's Diary, would have saved Nathan's effort from its awkward contrivances. This Pride and Prejudice is a charming but clumsy update that will have readers rushing back to the original.

### Instruction: retrieve labels for this product: Secrets of Six-Figure Women: Surprising Strategies to Up Your Earnings and Change Your Life /SEP/ There are more high-salaried women in the workforce today than ever before, yet most females remain seriously underpaid when compared to their male counterparts. Motivational speaker and financial journalist Barbara Stanny decided to find out why by identifying the differences between those who draw the big bucks and those who don't. InSecrets of Six-Figure Womenshe reveals what makes the leading edge tick, as well as how others can use the information to boost their own paychecks and self-esteem. "For far too many women, financial limits have become a fact of life. The thought of making more is like climbing Mount Everest, a colossal, if not impossible task," writes Stanny. "That's exactly how I used to feel." By examining scores of top moneymakers, along with dozens of those earning below their potentials, Stanny discovered what works and what doesn't. After analyzing the subsequent lessons (i.e., you actually can boost your income without selling out, the requisite traits to do so can be developed by virtually anyone, money really can't buy happiness), she proposes specific strategies for maximizing their impact (intend from the start to succeed, stretch yourself, manage any payoff with care). Stanny professes throughout that she desires to offer "insight, hope and guidance to any of you who aspire to earn more." With this surprisingly practical and ultimately inspirational guidebook, she delivers.--Howard Rothman ### Answer: <Do Elephants Jump?

### Instruction: retrieve labels for this product: Cemetery Stories: Haunted Graveyards, Embalming Secrets, and the Life of a Corpse After Death /SEP/ The recent success of HBO's funeral home comedy Six Feet Under proves the power of the macabre over public imagination. "[A]mused, disturbed, and delighted by the range of human behavior surrounding the subject of death," Ramsland (Ghost, Forecasts, Aug. 20; etc.) undertook a pop-anthropological survey of "cemetery culture" by interviewing graveyard caretakers, "death-care" consultants, funeral directors, grave diggers, monument dealers and mortuary assistants. This rambling, anecdotal account traces burial traditions such as embalming, cremation (30% of all funerals), corpse preparation, restorative techniques, cadaver cosmetics and unconventional funerals like the one attended by the deceased's fellow nudists. At Houston's National Museum of Funeral History and the annual National Funeral Directors Association's convention, Ramsland, a Rutgers professor, learns about mortuary schools and entrepreneurial schemes like hologram tombstones, the $65,000 mummification procedure and cemetery kiosks with touch-screen biographies of the deceased. Along with instructions on gravestone rubbing, artistic grave markers and unusual epitaphs, the book introduces "taphophiles," who visit cemeteries as a hobby. The book's closing section recounts ghastly tales of ghouls, corpse abuse, necrophilia and people buried alive, and fascinating interviews with people who grew up in funeral homes. Although it's "the corpseless soul that inspires the most fear," those with weak stomachs might want to skip the graphic description of autopsy procedures, botched reinterments and adipocere ("body cheese"). A bibliography and list of Web sites provide further resources.

### Instruction: retrieve labels for this product: Presidential Deal: A Novel /SEP/ John Deal is no hero--he just happens to be in the right place at the right time, cruising in the Gulf of Mexico when a group of Cuban refugees are tossed overboard in a smuggling operation gone awry. Then, presidential politics, particularly the importance of the Florida vote to President Frank Shelton's reelection campaign, put Deal on stage in Miami for a Medal of Valor ceremony. In another case of bad timing, Deal is caught in the middle of a scheme by anti-Castro partisans who plan to kidnap the president and blame it on Cuba. But when at the last minute the First Lady stands in for her husband at the Medal of Valor ceremony, Deal finds himself an inadvertent hero again, abducted with Linda Shelton and taken away with her to a deserted island in the Bahamas. The problem is, nobody knows Deal's been snatched with the First Lady--nobody except for retired cop Vern Driscoll, Deal's closest friend. Flying into the eye of a hurricane to rescue Deal and the First Lady, he tries to accomplish what the FBI, CIA, and every other law enforcement agency under the president's command hasn't been able to. Meanwhile, it's up to Deal to uncover a plot against the president hatched from somewhere within the president's own administration.John Deal is an antihero in the best tradition of existential mystery fiction, and in Standiford's capable hands, he's grown into a more complex character with every new adventure. And, while Frank and Linda Shelton bear a striking resemblance to Bill and Hillary Clinton, it may be more than a coincidence--Standiford clearly knows what goes on in Washington, especially where relations with Cuba and Miami are concerned.--Jane Adams ### Answer: <Chicago: A Novel>, <Her Secret Weapon (Silhouette Intimate Moments #1034) (A Year of Loving Dangerously)>, <EN MARCHA GRAMATICA-PAPERBACK 2002C>

### Instruction: retrieve labels for this product: LT: Over the Edge: Tackling Quarterbacks, Drugs, and a World Beyond Football /SEP/ In this slapdash effort, former New York Giants linebacker Lawrence Taylor and a supporting cast of characters recall the football legend's career and personal struggle with drug addiction. On the field, Taylor was universally regarded as the greatest defensive football player in the game's history. His size, speed and ferocity led the Giants to two Super Bowl championships in 1986 and 1990, and earned Taylor an exalted place in NFL folklore, as well as in the record books and in the Football Hall of Fame. All this for a player, readers learn, who rarely worked out, practiced lazily and played many of his awe-inspiring games hungover. While he was succeeding on the field, off the field Taylor's life was out of control. He was addicted to cocaine and to a hard-partying lifestyle that eventually led to a divorce, numerous arrests, financial ruin and employment prospects that sunk as low as professional wrestling. Although billed as an autobiography, the book (written with New York Post columnist Serby) is more an oral history, interweaving Taylor's remembrances with those of former teammates, coaches, sports writers and friends. While there are some memorable anecdotes and a few intimate glimpses, there is surprisingly little new here for Taylor fans beyond the depressing details of his most recent travails. That's unfortunate-underneath it all, Taylor' is a truly rich, compelling story. He remains a larger-than-life personality, and one who made extraordinary football history in one of the NFL's most colorful eras. Still, in this, his second shot at autobiography (his first was LT: Living on the Edge in 1987), the true substance of Lawrence Taylor goes woefully unexamined.Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

### Instruction: retrieve labels for this product: Repossessing Ernestine: A Granddaughter Uncovers the Secret History of Her American Family /SEP/ This compelling memoir by Hunt, an African American actress and writer (Free), reads like an edge-of-your-seat mystery. After learning from a cousin that her grandmother, Ernestine, who was committed to an insane asylum in the 1920s, was still alive at the age of 94, Hunt decided to find her and uncover her past. Ernestine, as described to the author, had been light-skinned with blonde hair and blue eyes. She was the daughter of a black mother and an unknown father and was married with three children when she was institutionalized by her husband, an African American minister. Defying family members who preferred to keep her whereabouts a secret, Hunt rescued Ernestine from a rundown nursing home. Although Hunt was unable to discover why Ernestine spent 50 years behind bars, she suspects the reason may have had more to do with racism and sexism than insanity.

### Instruction: retrieve labels for this product: Courting Trouble /SEP/ Anne Murphy thought she'd put her unhappy past a continent behind her when she joined Philadelphia attorney Bennie Rosato's all-woman law firm. Then a friend who's housesitting for Anne is murdered in what's clearly a case of mistaken identity, and Anne realizes that the past has caught up with her and that the only way to outrun it is to catch the killer before he realizes that she's still alive. But how can Anne play dead with a high-profile case just days away from starting? The only way to pull it off is to let her new colleagues in on the secret, which would mean telling them her other secrets, too, including the fact that she's in love with opposing counsel and the probability that her client may not be as innocent as she thought he was. The author deftly weaves the threads of plot and subplot together, helped by Mary DiNunzio, Judy Carrier, and Bennie herself, the familiar and well-drawn mainstays of this lively and solidly paced series (Moment of Truth,The Vendetta Defense,Rough Justice). It's vintage Scottoline, featuring some nice touches; a little suspense, a lot of female bonding, a few pithy asides on the human condition, and a surprise in the penultimate chapter.--Jane Adams ### Answer: <"The serpent and the Stag: The Saga of England's Powerful and Glamourous Cavendish Family from the Age of Henry the Eighth to the Present">, <Holt McDougal Library: Individual Leveled Reader with Connections The Fire Next Time>, <"Unix Programmer's Manual: v. 1">, <Holt Allez, viens!: Travaux Grammar Level 2>, <A Dime to Dance by>, <Ferrington Guitars/Book and Cd>, <"Don't Try This at Home: A Year in the Life of Dave Navarro">, <Love Is a Family>, <Hold the Flag High>, <Self-Editing for Fiction Writers, Second Edition: How to Edit Yourself Into Print>, <The Ralph Wiggum Book (Simpsons Library of Wisdom)>, <George Washington: The Founding Father (Eminent Lives)>, <Scranimals>, <The Rottenest Angel (Rotten School, No. 10)>, <Down to the Sea: An Epic Story of Naval Disaster and Heroism in World War II>, <"The Illustrated Winespeak: Ronald Searle's Wicked World of Winetasting">, <The Descent of Woman: The Classic Study of Evolution>, <Official ANA Grading and Standards Guide (Official American Numismatic Association Grading Standards for United States Coins)>, <Buffalo Nickles 1913-1938, Album>, <Washington Quarter 1932-1990, Album>, <"The Stranger's Child">, <The Rose Thieves: Stories>, <The New York Times T.G.I.F.

### Instruction: retrieve labels for this product: The Secret School: Preparation for Contact /SEP/ With this new volume of recovered memories and apocalyptic predictions, Strieber continues the journey he began with Communion, his extraordinarily successful account of alien abduction. While that book was largely about his experiences with "the visitors," the follow-up books, Transformation and Breakthrough, were more concerned with the spiritual implications of alien contact. Strieber now takes this process even further, into prophecy and New Age rumination. He contends that, as a child in San Antonio in the 1950s, he and other children were taken in the middle of the night to a secret school run by aliens in the middle of San Antonio's wild Olmos Basin. The book is structured as a series of "lessons," mostly specific memories of his ninth summer, followed by "commentaries," a series of vague and increasingly wild speculations and predictions. Most of the spiritual content here is a farrago of nearly every New Age preoccupation imaginable?aliens, reincarnation, time travel, millennial disaster, Atlantis, etc.?"proved" by highly credulous readings of popular science articles. As the author of entertaining and elegantly composed narratives about personal contact with mysterious entities that are unsupported by proof and that purvey a maddeningly vague message of spiritual release, Strieber has become the Carlos Castaneda of the 1990s. Even those who don't believe a word of what he's saying will enjoy his writing?about his Texas boyhood in particular?and his ability to conjure a sense of terror, awe and wonderment.Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc. ### Answer: <The Unfinished Nation: A Concise History of the American People>, <God and Philosophy>, <Sacrifice (Legacy)>, <Secret Agent Sheik (Silhouette Romantic Suspense)>, <Unexpected Mrs. Pollifax>, <Race And Culture: A World View>, <Big Chickens Go to Town>, <Amelia Anne is Dead and Gone>, <Chameleon Printer Paper (SC541768)>, <Thea Stilton and the Dancing Shadows: A Geronimo Stilton Adventure>, <Rodeo Dreams>, <The Resilient Leader>, <"Ms. Goozenpop's Crazy 100th School Day">, <Patti Smith : An Unauthorized Biography>, <Peonies>, <Albuquerque: A narrative history>, <You Are What You Ate>, <Bonneville - A Century of Speed>, <El Camino Más Fácil Para Vivir: Suelta el pasado, vive el presente y cambia tu vida para siempre>, <Conscious Parents Conscious Kids>, <Go to the Dentist (Topsy & Tim)>, <Williams Textbook of Endocrinology: Expert Consult-Online and Print, 12e>, <Loop Style Rim Wheel Auto Car Detail Cleaning Brush with Plastic Handle>

### Instruction: retrieve labels for this product: Proust and the Squid /SEP/ Starred Review.Wolf, a professor of child development at Tufts University, integrates psychology and archaeology, linguistics and education, history and neuroscience in a truly path-breaking look at the development of the reading brain-a complicated phenomenon that Wolf seeks to chronicle from both the early history of humanity and the early stages of an individual's development ("unlike its component parts such as vision and speech... reading has no direct genetic program passing it on to future generations"). Along the way, Wolf introduces concepts like "word poverty," the situation in which children, by age five, have heard 32 million less words than their counterparts (with chilling long-term effects), and makes time for amusing and affecting anecdotes, like the only child she knew to fake a reading disorder (attempting to get back into his beloved literacy training program). Though it could probably command a book of its own, the sizable third section of the book covers the complex topic of dyslexia, explaining clearly and expertly "what happens when the brain can't learn to read." One of those rare books that synthesizes cutting edge, interdisciplinary research with the inviting tone of a curious, erudite friend (think Malcolm Gladwell), Wolf's first book for a general audience is an eye-opening winner, and deserves a wide readership.Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

### Instruction: retrieve labels for this product: Selected Poems: 1931-2004 /SEP/ The Lithuanian-born Milosz (1911– 2004) became a leader among Polish-language modernists in the 1930s, then witnessed the Nazi destruction of Warsaw. His epochal early poetry described the horrors of war and the enduring power of joy: "I have seen the fall of States and the perdition of tribes," one 1943 poem says. "Love means to look at yourself/ The way one looks at distant things," advises his much-loved sequence from the same year, "The World." The postwar Milosz became a Polish diplomat, then rejected Soviet communism and sought political asylum; he taught at Berkeley till the end of the Cold War and returned to Poland in his last years. In decades of pellucid verse (and lyrical prose, also included), Milosz viewed at once the beauty of single moments and the sweep of civilization and barbarism over centuries: a stubborn defender of human decency and of liberal hopes, he saw, as few have, how "what could not be taken away,/ is taken. People, countrysides./ And the heart does not die when one thinks it should." Translated by many hands, but principally by former U.S. poet laureate Robert Hass, the verse carries over into English not only its sentiments, but much of its music, too: this first posthumous selection (New&Collected Poemsappeared in 2001) should renew national attention to a poet of international significance.(Apr.)Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

### Instruction: retrieve labels for this product: Faithless: Tales of Transgression /SEP/ Penzler Pick,March 2001:I guess it's no secret that I regard Joyce Carol Oates as one of the great living American writers, both of mystery-crime-suspense fiction and of virtually every other form invented. I previously reviewedBlonde, which went on to be nominated for a National Book Award, and it's my joy to be able to recommendFaithless: Tales of Transgression, the stories within which are about as good as the short story gets. (Full disclosure here, with the admission that I might be a trifle prejudiced in favor of this volume. It is dedicated to Alice Turner, the former fiction editor of Playboy, and to me--largely, I reckon, because several of these stories were written especially for several anthologies of which I was the editor.)There are 24 stories in this generous volume and while some inevitably linger longer in the memory than others, there is not a dull spot in its nearly 400 pages. The title story is a haunting tale of the disappearance of a woman as recalled by her two daughters, grown now. The ending is utterly expected but, nevertheless, comes as a shock. "The Vampire" is not at all a horror story, at least not in the sense that it involves in any way elements of the supernatural, but has a growing sense of pure terror as the reader comes to see the way in which one person can absorb all the life out of another.In "The High School Sweetheart: A Mystery," a famous mystery writer reads a speech as he accepts the presidency of the most prestigious of all mystery organizations. The speech is delivered as a piece of fiction that appears to be a confession of a horrific crime committed during his teen years while besotted with a girl two years older than he. When the speech ends, the audience cannot imagine applauding because the story seems so true. Is it?Once again, the incomparable Joyce Carol Oates has produced a compelling and important volume for the shelves of anyone who cares about distinguished suspense fiction.--Otto Penzler ### Answer: <The Science of Superstition: How the Developing Brain Creates Supernatural Beliefs>, <THE VOW ON THE HERON (Plantagenet Saga)>, <1st Air Cavalry in Vietnam: the First Team (Spearhead)>, <Celtic Tree Velvet Tarot Bag>, <Murder Strikes a Pose (A Downward Dog Mystery)>, <Mary Shelley: Romance and Reality>, <"Lily (Leigh Greenwood's Seven Bride's)">, <Brother Printer MFC7360N Monochrome Printer with Scanner, Copier & Fax and built in Networking>
