Cormac McCarthy

A complexity theory of literature

By: Lydia R. Cooper

Combining the fields of evolutionary economics and the humanities, this book examines McCarthy’s literary works as a significant case study demonstrating our need to recognise the interrelated complexities of economic policies, environmental crises, and how public policy and rhetoric shapes our value systems. In a world recovering from global economic crisis and poised on the brink of another, studying the methods by which literature interrogates narratives of inevitability around global economic inequality and eco-disaster is ever more relevant.

A Royal Affair

3 Regal Romances

By: Sophie Rogers,Andrea R Cooper,Patti Shenberger

Waiting for their prince to come? Not these heroines! But when their majestic mates do arrive, they soon discover that finding love is truly a crowning success. The Runaway Queen: Princess Tia Helios has a lofty goal: to modernize her Mediterranean kingdom of Kelephai. Her plan to go off the grid to gather intel goes awry, however, when she’s stranded at the farm of gorgeous horse breeder Damon Antos, who clearly resents her style. But he does need an investor to save his business, so he will be her guide for the right price—and when their attraction heats up, the secrets they were born with could cost them a happy future. Son of Dragons: Elvin warrior Mirhana scours the land to silence the undead. Her heart has turned as cold as the sword she wields, until Prince Landon seeks her aid. Never has he met a woman like Mirhana, who haunts his dreams as he battles to remain true to his promise to an unseen betrothed. Then a traitor emerges to test Mirhana and Landon, and the only remaining hope is to follow the prophecy and trust their bond is more than a fleeting attraction. Secrets of the Heart: Ten years ago, Nicholas Carter left Isabelle Tandori without a backward glance, and she stuffed down her heartache by becoming a respected cardiologist. Now the man she once loved has returned with a surprise—he’s Prince Nicholas Corsairs, heir to the throne of Wellfleet Isle, and he needs her to come to his kingdom for six months to care for his ailing father. Their attraction and passion is still off the charts. But a future with Nicholas is out of the question. His country needs him and Isabelle won’t take second place in his life again. But fate has one more shock in store that just might heal two broken hearts. Sensuality Level: Sensual

The Reluctant General

By: Billy R. Cooper

Many people have asked me over the years how I became a general. My response is usually reluctantly. Never genuinely believed it might be possible. In the first few chapters of this autobiography, Cooper recalls events from his childhood, growing up on the farm with his maternal grandparents. The next chapters follow his high school life, and finally, his entrance into the military. Follow Coopers audacious encounters from being a Training Officer, to 1st Battalion, 22d Artillery, to Field Artillery Staff Officer, to Senior Operations Officer, to Deputy Commanding General US Army Recruiting Command, taking him across the United States to Vietnam, Germany and the Persian Gulf. Alternating stories about his exciting encounters in the field, his own insights and his experiences that will benefit the readers, The Reluctant General proves that what many others may think is a will-of-the-wisp can turn into something real.

Happily Ever After

9 Fairy Tale Takeoffs

By: T.F. Walsh,Holley Trent,Elizabeth Palmer,Nancy C Weeks,Dana Volney,Jennifer DeCuir,Andrea R Cooper,Jessica Starre,Stephanie Cage

Classic fairy tales get an oh-so-modern update in this fun, value-priced collection. Waiting for your prince to come? Forget it! Today’s heroines are plunging into love feet first—nary a glass slipper in sight. With nine delightful stories, this bundle offers contemporary twists on beloved fables such as Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Goldilocks, Snow White, and Aladdin. Cloaked in Blood: Little Red Riding Hood knows exactly how to handle the wolf in this shapeshifter tale. To Selena Kurt’s surprise, her clan matches her to Marcin Ulf, the big, bad wulfkin who broke her heart years ago. However, first they’re drawn into a tournament where they must face off with one another…just as their romance rekindles. The Cougar’s Pawn: Beauty Ellery Colvard is camping with friends when she gets carried away—literally—by beastly were-cougar Mason Foye, who needs a mate to avoid his fate. But witchy Ellery doesn’t believe in soul mates. If Mason can’t convince her to be his, he’s doomed to spend the rest of his days in his cougar form. Best Laid Plans: Practical anchorwoman Violet Gallagher and hotshot photojournalist Jake Macintyre live in different worlds, until the night she catches his eye at a party and loses more than her dancing shoes to him. Is their one enchanted evening worth a lifetime of dreams? Protecting the Prince: Someone’s determined to stop Eliam Prince from taking over the family shipping docks. He needs a bodyguard, no matter how much the concept makes him grumpy. But security expert Winter Wyn soon learns that keeping this beautiful man safe from sabotage, blackmailers, assassins, and his own stubborn pride isn’t nearly as hard as protecting her own bashful heart. Catch a Falling Star: Brianna Daniels’s courageous ailing stepsister has one wish: she wants to go to the ball. Brianna makes it happen and Natalie meets her prince at the fundraising gala for the city’s elite. The problem is, Brianna falls for gorgeous patent attorney Matthias Gustafson, too. What kind of wicked stepsister would begrudge a loving young woman’s one shot at happiness? A Late-Blooming Rose: Bookseller Beau Landry boldly ventures to the estate of bitter and downright beastly hermit Eva Mitchum, determined to buy her rare collection. What he discovers is a lonely, hurting, wheelchair-bound woman who has forgotten how to love. When she challenges Beau to stay with her in exchange for the books, the offer will change both their lives. His One Wish: Special forces veteran Aiden Cooper is hired to track down Turhan Technologies’ missing technical genius, Jin Ru, who’s disappeared with the prototype for their powerful new software. But when his path crosses with the alluring heiress of Turhan, Jazlin Morgan, sparks fly. Can they save her family’s company from her greedy uncle’s clutches? Music to her Ears: When blonde, bubbly Hannah “Goldie” Loxley gets a housesitting gig for the Rievaulx Trio, world-famous concert musicians, she accidentally ends up in the bed of middle brother Mike. Confusion soon leads to an undeniable attraction. But will their whirlwind romance falter when reality settles in? Fairy Trouble: When her new charge Cindy finals in an art competition in New York, fairy godmother Esmeralda must step into her slippers to attend Murphy Enterprises’ costume ball. She doesn’t expect to catch the eye of handsome, unassuming heir Ryan or fall for him. However, convincing this skeptic that magic is real and she’s not just a con artist will be no easy feat.

Viking Fire

By: Andrea R Cooper

856 CE, Ireland is a land of myth, magic, and blood. Viking raiders have fought the Irish for over half a century. Rival Irish clans promise only betrayal and carnage. Kaireen, daughter of Laird Liannon, is suddenly forced into an arranged marriage with her sworn enemy, a Viking. She refuses to submit. With no mention of love, only land and the protection of her clan, she endeavors to get her betrothed banished from her country. Will love find its way around her stubborn heart? Bram, the Viking, finds himself without future or inheritance as a younger son in his family. A marriage to the Laird’s daughter would grant him land if he swears fidelity and if his men will fight along with the Liannons against any foe - Irish or Viking. However, the Laird’s feisty daughter only holds animosity for him and his kind. Is marriage worth the battle scars of such a relentless opponent? With the blame for a rival laird’s death treacherously set against the Liannons, Kaireen and Bram must find a way to lay aside their differences as an unforeseen darkness sends death snapping at their heels.

Slavic Scriptures

The Formation of the Church Slavonic Version of the Holy Bible

By: Henry R. Cooper

Slavic Scriptures' traces the development of the Church Slavonic Version of the Christian Bible, a version still in active use today by the Russian Orthodox Church and considered authoriatative by other Slavic Orthodox churches as well, from the very earliest translations by missionaries to the Slavs in the ninth century, through to the Slavic Bible controversies of the late twentieth century. It focusses particular attention on the work of the Byzantine saints Cyril and Methodius, the continuation of their initiatives in medieval Bulgaria, and the completion of their efforts in medieval and Enlightenment Russia. It provides basic information on Christian scriptures in general, and an extensive bibliography of works in a variety of languages, including English, which treat Church Slavonic Bible matters. The text of the study is aimed at a general readership interested in biblical issues as a whole, and particularly among the Slavs, while the apparatus explores scholarly ramifications and controversies of concern to those specializing in Slavic and biblical studies.

The St. Martin's Guide to Writing

By: Rise B. Axelrod,Charles R. Cooper

This textbook provides instruction in college level rhetoric and writing. It offers readings, a research manual, a handbook and supports a range of approaches to teaching and learning, including collaboration, visual rhetoric, personal writing, writing about literature, writing in the community and the workplace, field research, portfolios, oral presentations, essay exams, and ESL. It contains step-by-step guides to writing specific kinds of essays -- remembering events, writing profiles, explaining a concept, finding common ground, arguing a position, proposing a solution, justifying an evaluation, speculating about causes, and interpreting stories. Because so much college writing requires strong argumentation skills, four of the assignment chapters focus on argumentative writing, and a separate strategies chapter covers theses, reasons and support, counterarguments, and logical fallacies. Three full chapters on research give students useful strategies not only for conducting field, library, and Internet research, but also for evaluating sources; deciding whether to quote, paraphrase, or summarize; avoiding plagiarism; and documenting sources. The authors have included 39 readings by well-known authors and various "fresh" voices, including 12 students, providing well-written examples of the different types of essays and papers that students might be asked to complete.

In a time of false peace, the dead rise as soldiers for the Warloc's scheme. For thousands of years he has stood ready for the final battle.

Her heart has turned as cold as the sword she wields, until a prince seeks her aid. Never has Prince Landon met a woman like Mirhana. Both beautiful and deadly, she haunts his dreams. The battle at hand becomes more enchanting than fighting to remain true to his unseen betrothed. When a traitor emerges, new alliances are tested and the only remaining hope is to follow the prophecy and find the . . . Son of Dragons. Sensuality Level: Sensual

Trial by Fire

3 Fantasy Romances

By: Andrea R Cooper

Love and war take center stage as three couples must forge alliances against evil in this dazzling, value-priced collection of fantastical romances. Viking Fire: When Kaireen’s father, Laird Liannon, forces her into an arranged marriage with her sworn enemy, she throws her energy into getting this Viking betrothed banished from her country. As a younger son, Bram has no future or inheritance, so marriage to the laird’s daughter would grant him land and family—but even a marriage of convenience may not be worth the battle scars from such a relentless opponent. But when the blame for a rival laird’s death falls against the Liannons, Kaireen and Bram must find a way to lay aside their differences as an unforeseen darkness sends death snapping at their heels. The Garnet Dagger: As a vampire, Brock has one chance to break the curse that compels him to feed and kill: he must find a witch, pierce her heart, and draw her blood for his cure. Celeste must find a way to elude an ancient, powerful warlock who wants to lay claim to her dormant powers. If he succeeds in devouring her magic, she and the world will die. The two fall in love, never realizing her demise is his cure. Can love triumph over such high stakes? Son of Dragons: Elvin warrior Mirhana scours the land to silence the undead. Her heart has turned as cold as the sword she wields, until Prince Landon seeks her aid. Never has he met a woman like Mirhana, who haunts his dreams as he battles to remain true to his promise to an unseen betrothed. Then a traitor emerges to test Mirhana and Landon, and the only remaining hope is to follow the prophecy and trust their bond is more than a fleeting attraction. Sensuality Level: Sensual

No More Heroes

Narrative Perspective and Morality in Cormac McCarthy

By: Lydia R. Cooper

Critics often trace the prevailing mood of despair and purported nihilism in the works of Cormac McCarthy to the striking absence of interior thought in his seemingly amoral characters. In No More Heroes, however, Lydia Cooper reveals that though McCarthy limits inner revelations, he never eliminates them entirely. In certain crucial cases, he endows his characters with ethical decisions and attitudes, revealing a strain of heroism exists in his otherwise violent and apocalyptic world. Cooper evaluates all of McCarthy's work to date, carefully exploring the range of his narrative techniques. The writer's overwhelmingly distant, omniscient third-person narrative rarely shifts to a more limited voice. When it does deviate, however, revelations of his characters' consciousness unmistakably exhibit moral awareness and ethical behavior. The quiet, internal struggles of moral men such as John Grady Cole in the Border Trilogy and the father in The Road demonstrate an imperfect but very human heroism. Even when the writing moves into the minds of immoral characters, McCarthy draws attention to the characters' humanity, forcing the perceptive reader to identify with even the most despicable representatives of the human race. Cooper shows that this rare yet powerful recognition of commonality and the internal yearnings for community and a commitment to justice or compassion undeniably exist in McCarthy's work. No More Heroes directly addresses the essential question about McCarthy's brutal and morally ambiguous universe and reveals poignant new answers.

By: Andrea R. Cooper

What can a fairy godmother-in-training do when Cinderella refuses to go to the ball? Why, disguise herself as Cindy and go in her place of course! Given the chance to prove Esmeralda’s ready for a promotion, she’s determined to get Cindy to fall in love with the prince. If Esmeralda can pull this off, she can finally become an official fairy godmother. Except, the plan does not include the strong-willed Cindy snubbing the chance to meet her true love, and Esmeralda crushing hard on the prince's brother. Nor was Esmeralda becoming human, spending time with Ryan, and dreaming of her own happily ever after. But at the strike of midnight, all the deception will come to a heart-pounding ending—and not the happy kind, either. Now Esmeralda stands to lose everything, even her wings. More importantly, the only man she’s ever loved… The first book in the Modern FairyTales series is FAIRY TROUBLE, a Cinderella retelling filled with humor, heart, and clean romance. All of the stories take place in the same world and can be read together or as stand-alone novels. Scroll Up and One-Click Fairy Trouble to start the romantic adventure today!

Probabilistic Methods of Signal and System Analysis

By: George R. Cooper,Clare D. McGillem

Probabilistic Methods of Signal and System Analysis, 3/e stresses the engineering applications of probability theory, presenting the material at a level and in a manner ideally suited to engineering students at the junior or senior level. It is also useful as a review for graduate students and practicing engineers.Thoroughly revised and updated, this third edition incorporates increased use of the computer in both text examples and selected problems. It utilizes MATLAB as a computational tool and includes new sections relating to Bernoulli trials, correlation of data sets, smoothing of data, computer computation of correlation functions and spectral densities, and computer simulation of systems. All computer examples can be run using the Student Version of MATLAB. Almost all of the examples and many of the problems have been modified or changed entirely, and a number of new problems have been added. A separate appendix discusses and illustrates the application of computers to signal and system analysis.

Another View of the Revolution in Military Affairs

By: Jeffrey R. Cooper

In April 1994, the Army War College and the Strategic Studies Institute hosted the Fifth Annual Strategy Conference. The theme of this year's conference was "The Revolution in Military Affairs (RMA): Defining an Army for the 21st Century." Jeffrey R. Cooper presented the following paper as part of an opening panel which sought to define the RMA. He urges defense planners to determine what strategic--as opposed to operational-- benefits might be derived from the RMA. He contends that making the internal reforms that will be required will be as challenging as coming to terms with the operational and strategic implications of the new technologies. The first requirement is to understand the parameters and dynamics of this particular revolution in military affairs. Mr. Cooper puts the RMA in historical perspective by discussing the relationships among technology, socioeconomic, and political change, and their implications for warfare during the Napoleonic era, the mid-19th century, and World Wars I and II. He argues that, in the past, dramatic technological change affected warfare in different ways. Mr. Cooper warns that by using the RMA to define a "technical legacy" we make three errors. First, such an approach could lead to a fruitless search for a "silver bullet" technology on which to build the RMA. Second, the focus on technology could shift attention away from the critical issues of purpose, strategy, doctrine, operational innovation, and organizational adaptation. Finally, committing the first two errors will compound the problem by wasting very scarce defense resources on new programs and projects which may have little or nothing to do with the strategic situation. Military professionals and defense planners alike need to remind themselves that while technology can provide new capabilities, the strategic equation is not necessarily driven by technological innovation.
