She kissed him – and there was flame on his lips. Could Johnny Devereaux find his old self in the soft and willing arms of this woman? Or would he lose himself utterly, as had her husband – the man Johnny desperately hunted. A tough cop moving through his toughest case, Johnny could not afford mistakes. He would have to bypass beatings and bullets – and a tomb in a marsh – to reach the fantastic end of this search. Then at last, remembering a torn woman, he would stand face to face with – The Hollow Man.

Earthquake

By: Milton Berle,John Roeburt

TRAPPED IN CUSTOM-MADE GRAVES There was Stroilov, who preferred suicide to suffocation—or to death by the killer who lurked in the silent blackness. There was Taylor, who gave apologies to no man and who now refused God, vowing even to murder before his last breath. There was Susan, who used her small space beneath the earth as a confession box, daring to speak thoughts that lay stagnant in her mind and blood. And there was Donna, most courageous of all, who struggled alone, delivering her child into a world created to be destroyed... Milton Berle and John Roeburt provide an unforgettable and soul-searching answer in this moving story of a small group of people brought together in a tiny Mexican village at precisely the time an earthquake strikes—and rips their world apart. We ask ourselves—Why? Why that place? Why those people? Which of them is destined to die? And can the lives—and souls—of the survivors ever again be the same? “Taut, nerve-gripping drama, brought off with skill and a sharp eye for the human comedy and the darkness at three o’clock in the morning.”—Stephen Longstreet “A curious book...an interesting chess game”—THE NEW YORK TIMES

Tough Cop

A Johnny Devereaux Mystery

By: John Roeburt

The crooks, the grafters, all of New York's underworld kept telling themselves that they never had it so good as they would now, with Johnny Devereaux retiring from the force after 21 years. Devereaux was a tough cop, tough to encounter and impossible to bluff. Devereaux was doing a little chortling of his own. He was still young enough to enjoy life; he wanted to read some books, take a little trip, fulfill a few dreams. He was sitting in his car that evening, thinking about his beautiful future, when his beautiful future -- in the form of Jennifer Phillips -- opened the door of the car, sat down, and said, "Please hurry!" So she was twenty years his junior -- so what? She was very, very beautiful, she was in trouble, and Devereaux was ripe for romance. Or call it an automatic reflex, if you prefer to think of him as a tough cop; say he had been on the force so long that he responded mechanically to a try for assistance. "Roeburt returned in his fourth to the tough-guy genre and a character modeled on the later Bogart." -- Mike Nevins

Gas Migration

Events Preceding Earthquakes

By: Leonid F. Khilyuk Ph.D.,John O. Robertson Jr.,Bernard Endres,G.V. Chilingarian

This breakthrough new book may help save countless lives and avoid enormous losses. It presents a methodology for using gas migration to predict earthquakes and explosive gas buildup. Using rigorous scientific investigation and documented worldwide case histories, this remarkable book presents compelling evidence showing that changes in gas rates, composition, and migration accompany the tectronic events preceding earthquakes and their associated seismic events, such as volcanoes and tsunamis. Because these gas parameters are detectable and measurable, they provide an early warning of seismic activity.Gas Migration is the first book to accumulate, analyze and apply the interdisciplinary knowledge on gas migration and detail its connection to tectronic, seismic, and geologic phenomena. It combines geological, geochemical, geophysical, seismological, and petroleum engineering insights to demonstrate how gas migration and its associated phenomena can be used in earthquake and environmental geohazard identification and prediction. Topics include-·Tectonics and Earthquakes·Gas Migration at Plate Boundaries·Surface Soil-Gas Surveys·Faults and Petroleum Reservoirs·Earthquake Precursors·Whispering Gases·Paths and Mechanics of Gas Migration·Subsidence, Gas Migration, and Seismic Activity·And much moreWith this information, environmental specialists, civil engineers, petroleum geologists, seismologists, and urban planners now have a new and powerful conceptual basis and tool for understanding and perhaps even predicting gas explosions and earthquakes.

On the Air

The Encyclopedia of Old-Time Radio

By: John Dunning

Now long out of print, John Dunning's Tune in Yesterday was the definitive one-volume reference on old-time radio broadcasting. Now, in On the Air, Dunning has completely rethought this classic work, reorganizing the material and doubling its coverage, to provide a richer and more informative account of radio's golden age. Here are some 1,500 radio shows presented in alphabetical order. The great programs of the '30s, '40s, and '50s are all here--Amos 'n' Andy, Fibber McGee and Molly, The Lone Ranger, Major Bowes' Original Amateur Hour, and The March of Time, to name only a few. For each, Dunning provides a complete broadcast history, with the timeslot, the network, and the name of the show's advertisers. He also lists major cast members, announcers, producers, directors, writers, and sound effects people--even the show's theme song. There are also umbrella entries, such as "News Broadcasts," which features an engaging essay on radio news, with capsule biographies of major broadcasters, such as Lowell Thomas and Edward R. Murrow. Equally important, Dunning provides a fascinating account of each program, taking us behind the scenes to capture the feel of the performance, such as the ghastly sounds of Lights Out (a horror drama where heads rolled and bones crunched), and providing engrossing biographies of the main people involved in the show. A wonderful read for everyone who loves old-time radio, On the Air is a must purchase for all radio hobbyists and anyone interested in 20th-century American history. It is an essential reference work for libraries and radio stations.

Movies Magnificent: 150 Must-See Cinema Classics

By: John Reid

Few people would argue with the films selected for detailed notices and reviews in this book. Many of the movies are award-winners, and most chalked up impressive figures at the box-office. Who would dispute the inclusion of Citizen Kane or Rebecca or The Best Years of Our Lives? However, along with The Yearling and Reap the Wild Wind and Hello, Frisco, Hello, I've also included a few surprises. A magnificent publication. -- Rodney Bourke in International Movie Making (April 2006).

A Comprehensive Encyclopedia of Film Noir

The Essential Reference Guide

By: John Grant

Featuring rumpled PIs, shyster lawyers, corrupt politicians, double-crossers, femmes fatales, and, of course, losers who find themselves down on their luck yet again, film noir is a perennially popular cinematic genre. This extensive encyclopedia describes movies from noir's earliest days – and even before, looking at some of noir's ancestors in US and European cinema – as well as noir's more recent offshoots, from neonoirs to erotic thrillers. Entries are arranged alphabetically, covering movies from all over the world – from every continent save Antarctica – with briefer details provided for several hundred additional movies within those entries. A copious appendix contains filmographies of prominent directors, actors, and writers. With coverage of blockbusters and program fillers from Going Straight (US 1916) to Broken City (US 2013) via Nora Inu (Japan 1949), O Anthropos tou Trainou (Greece 1958), El Less Wal Kilab (Egypt 1962), Reportaje a la Muerte (Peru 1993), Zift (Bulgaria 2008), and thousands more, A Comprehensive Encyclopedia of Film Noir is an engrossing and essential reference work that should be on the shelves of every cinephile.
