‘Those born from a womb, beings egg-begotten, Born out of moisture or spontaneously arising, May they rely on the excellent Taught Thing Instilled and resided in all lovely lusts.’ The mother of Jimmy Massey knew nothing about any Pieter Garel Swensen walking into the Sri Lankan sea and coming out the next day, so was said, as the thirteen-year-old who started making all the predictions that starting coming true. Nor did she know anything about any of the girl’s predicted murders of religious saints across Asia and Australasia, or how come her Jimmy, a simple taxi-driver, got killed along with the priest in Cairns Cathedral that Easter. But the mother of Jimmy Massey did know it was Dr Valentino Sebastian who kept sniffing around her community’s chapel and, while she mightn’t be aware of what he could do with birthings, she was always waiting for him to come for the child visited upon her. And then, no matter what all the police and the investigators and the nosey-parkers might say, she would see the black shore and hear the howling – and even all that wouldn’t be the death of her. She didn’t need any of the hullabaloos about the girl’s loopy predictions regarding ancient temple inscriptions to know that.

Playing the Air

By: Bill Dunlop

Luce Cameron doesn’t want to go home, not even when her dying godfather tells her there’s a lost manuscript to be found there. It’s three years since she was one of ‘John Knox’s G Strings’, a band that had a future. Luce isn’t sure what hers is any more, but she persuades theatre technician Ninian Tulloch to go to Dunpark House in her stead. He finds himself travelling in the company of ‘promising’ comedian Eddie Corcoran and on-the-run Rob Ainslie, but none of them expect the undivided attention of relentless Inspector Maurice Macquarie. Caught up in a plot to retrieve smuggled diamonds from Dunpark House, the hapless trio endure life-threatening experiences such as disposing of an inconvenient corpse, rough sleeping and recreational dancing with a ladies cricket team. While these three are making their frequently interrupted journey to Loch Tay, another narrative unfolds. Archibald Cameron, heir to Dunpark House, finds himself involved in balloon experiments that interest Oliver Corcoran, a double agent anxious to escape both his employers. Real events, such as the naval mutinies of 1797, the Tranent massacre and Loch Tay militia riots, mingle with the fates of Archibald, his friend Tam Linton and Oliver. Past and present collide when the worst storm in almost two hundred years hits the shores of Loch Tay and threatens to engulf both...An entertainment disguised as a blackly comic crime thriller with historical outbursts, Playing the Air reminds us we all rewrite our own histories, forget what we ought to remember and ignore our past, yet somehow keep smiling.

Smelling to Survive

Smelling to Survive

The Amazing World of Our Sense of Smell

By: Bill S. Hansson

Smell is arguably the least understood sense, yet it has always been a vital component of the human experience, and that of all living creatures. Smell has been used by plants and animals for millions of years to warn, to attract, to identify, to navigate and even to mislead. Smelling to Survive explains some of these fascinating processes and explores how the past would have smelt quite different to our ancestors, and how future technologies will further change the world of scents. Along the way, leading scientist Bill S. Hansson recounts amazing stories from the world of olfactory research: from the tobacco plant that excretes an alarm odour, to mosquitos that cherish the smell of sweaty feet, to lilies that imitate the fragrance of a dead horse. Hansson explains why scientists are interested in the smell that surrounds teenage males, and how climate change affects the smell of our environment. He describes research trips to Christmas Island, where crabs with particularly keen noses crack coconuts on the beach, and outlines studies that reveal how penguins recognize their partner by their scent. Born in Sweden, the neuroethologist Bill S. Hansson served as Vice President of the Max Planck Society and is currently Director of the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology in Jena, Germany, and an honorary professor at Friedrich Schiller University. His research centres on the question of how plants and insects communicate through scent.

Last Night a DJ Saved My Life

The History of the Disc Jockey

By: Bill Brewster,Frank Broughton

“A riveting look at record spinning from its beginnings to the present day . . . A grander and more fascinating story than one would think.” —Time Out London This is the first comprehensive history of the disc jockey, a cult classic now updated with five new chapters and over a hundred pages of additional material. It’s the definitive account of DJ culture, from the first record played over airwaves to house, hip-hop, techno, and beyond. From the early development of recorded and transmitted sound, DJs have been shaping the way we listen to music and the record industry. This book tracks down the inside story on some of music’s most memorable moments. Focusing on the club DJ, the book gets first-hand accounts of the births of disco, hip-hop, house, and techno. Visiting legendary clubs like the Peppermint Lounge, Cheetah, the Loft, Sound Factory, and Ministry of Sound, and with interviews with legendary DJs, Last Night a DJ Saved My Life is a lively and entertaining account of musical history and some of the most legendary parties of the century. “Brewster and Broughton’s ardent history is one of barriers and sonic booms, spanning almost 100 years, including nods to pioneers Christopher Stone, Martin Block, Douglas ‘Jocko’ Henderson, Bob ‘Wolfman Jack’ Smith and Alan ‘Moondog’ Freed.” —Publishers Weekly

The Sparrow's Spirit (PB)

A Champion Wrestler’s Lifetime Reflections on Prayer and Perseverance

By: Bill Welker

The Sparrow’s Spirit (PB) By: Bill Welker The Sparrow’s Spirit is an inspirational tale of triumph over self-destruction and adversity. Bill Welker vividly describes his lifelong battle to conquer the ultimate opponent – himself. -Rob Koll, NCAA National Champion, Head Wrestling Coach at Cornell University Dr. Bill Welker’s road to adulthood was filled with many trial-and-error experiences in which he usually took the wrong path. He grew up under the dominion of a loving mother and an austere father. As an adolescent, Welker’s life revolved around the sport of wrestling – and nothing else. Studying in high school was an unwanted necessity to stay eligible. But the desire to continue on the mats in college decreased until the fire to compete burned out. Welker began to make very poor choices which resulted in his removal from the wrestling team and almost led to his expulsion from school. Welker felt totally alone as his life began to collapse around him. There was nowhere to turn; he couldn’t go home a failure. He was absorbed by self-doubt, uselessness, and fell into a deep depression. Welker had lost all hope until he began to change priorities and found someone who believed in him. Still, the struggle wasn’t over, but the struggle is the glory.

A poignant memoir that recounts the author's hair-raising--and occasionally hilarious--experiences as a young, not especially gung-ho Marine artilleryman in Vietnam. Gritty and disturbing, Bill Jones' unvarnished narrative probes the lasting physical and emotional wounds of war and offers a combat veteran's wry insight into the influence and relevance of America's long and indecisive misadventure.

But peace doesnt last long for Roman; darkness follows him like a persistent, evil shadow. Romans long awaited, sublime peace is shattered when two escaped prisoners are making a get-away, but are prematurely forced to stop at the school where Roman teaches. Roman and his students are taken hostage by the prisoners. Its then that the mysterious white wolf enters his life, again, after being dormant since the Adirondack kidnapping.

Bill Nye's Western Humor

By: Bill Nye

Although Bill Nye (1850-1896) was America's best known humorist in the late 1880's and early 1890's, his work is little known today--his books long out of print and his columns yellowing in newspaper files. Now T. A. Larson, a dyed-in-the-wool Nye fan for more than thirty years, has assembled the best of Bill Nye's work, most of it dating from the seven Wyoming years when Nye made his name. The selections are chosen from Laramie, Cheyenne, and Denver newspapers and from six books published in the 1890's. The resulting collection is both good fun and a valuable picture of a lively period.
