When the facts don’t add up in his surf buddy’s bizarre death, forensic consultant (and daddy-to-be) Thaddeus Hanlon investigates, volunteering to go undercover to pick up where best friend Rafi Silva left off in a secret probe of the U.S. gold stockpile—every last bullion bar. Rafi’s spunky fiancée, Bri de la Guerra, has suspicions of her own and soon joins Thad on the hunt for answers. Together, the two amateur sleuths delve deep, stumbling onto a financial a-stock-alypse in the making, triggering a brutal manhunt along the Eastern seaboard meant to silence anyone looking to set the ledger straight.

From Couch Potato to Endurance Athlete

A Portrait of a Non-Athletic Triathlete

By: Hilary JM Topper

For those who have ever thought they were too old or too unfit to finish a triathlon, From Couch Potato to Endurance Athlete will prove that it is never too late to compete! This is a story about overcoming life's obstacles—from injury and business trouble to grief and loss and everything in between. Hilary Topper was a 48-year-old working mother who once upon a time had practically failed high school gym class. She was working 60-plus hours a week, running a small business. Her focus was on others—her children, her aging parents, and her staff. In the meantime, her weight kept increasing, and she was unhappy with the way her life was going. She needed a change. To turn things around, she joined a gym for the first time in her life. This book will take you on Hilary's decade-long journey as she trains for and runs her first 5K, swims the aqua-blue waters of the Caribbean, cycles a hilly course in Milwaukee, learns how to run–walk her way through the New York City Marathon, and competes in her first triathlon in Sanibel, Florida. You will be right with Hilary as she narrates each experience—even a 5.5-mile swim in the murky waters of Long Island. Hilary's story will move, motivate, and inspire. You will laugh and cry as you follow her on her journey. Even if you don't start out as an endurance athlete, after reading this book, you will walk away feeling that no matter what happens, you can cross the finish line, too.

How Einstein Created Relativity out of Physics and Astronomy

By: David Topper

This book tracks the history of the theory of relativity through Einstein’s life, with in-depth studies of its background as built upon by ideas from earlier scientists. The focus points of Einstein’s theory of relativity include its development throughout his life; the origins of his ideas and his indebtedness to the earlier works of Galileo, Newton, Faraday, Mach and others; the application of the theory to the birth of modern cosmology; and his quest for a unified field theory. Treading a fine line between the popular and technical (but not shying away from the occasional equation), this book explains the entire range of relativity and weaves an up-to-date biography of Einstein throughout. The result is an explanation of the world of relativity, based on an extensive journey into earlier physics and a simultaneous voyage into the mind of Einstein, written for the curious and intelligent reader.

Dictatorship of the Dress

By: Jessica Topper

As the dress-bearer for her mother’s wedding, Laney Hudson has a lot more baggage than the bulky garment bag she’s lugging from New York to Hawaii. Laney is determined to prove she’s capable of doing something right, but running chores for her mom’s fairytale nuptials is proving to be a painfully constant reminder of her own lost love. So when she’s mistaken for the bride and bumped up to first class, Laney figures some stress-free luxury is worth a harmless white lie. Until the flight crew thinks that the man sitting next to her is Laney’s groom, and her little fib turns into a hot mess. The last thing Noah Ridgewood needs is some dress-obsessed diva landing in his first-class row. En route to his Vegas bachelor party, the straight-laced software designer knows his cold feet have nothing to do with the winter weather. When a severe storm leaves them grounded in Chicago and they find themselves booked into the last available honeymoon suite, Laney and her in-flight neighbor have little choice but to get better acquainted. Now, as her bridal mission hangs in the balance, perhaps the thing Laney gets right is a second chance at love.

Softer Than Steel

By: Jessica Topper

From the author of Louder Than Love comes a story that proves you have to find yourself before you can find love... As rock star “Riff Rotten”, Rick Rottenberg has enjoyed all the perks that fame can offer, especially now that he’s reunited with his former band mate, Adrian “Digger” Graves. But despite his success, Rick is a mess. Still reeling from the death of his wife years ago and terrified his demons will end his career, he agrees to seek help for his anxiety. The last place he expects to find sanctuary is in a yoga studio - especially one that he discovers was a former Jewish synagogue on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Burned by a musician in the past, Sidra Sullivan has closed her heart to love. So when Rick walks into her yoga studio, she wants nothing to do with him – until the hard rocker shows an unexpected soft side. As Sidra and Rick work through their painful pasts, they realize just how strongly opposites can attract. Rick begins to re-awaken parts of his Jewish faith he thought long buried, and Sidra comes to terms with family dynamics out of her control. But when a crisis threatens the delicate balance they’ve forged, they’ll discover if their connection is strong enough to weather another storm or just too broken to survive…

A Solitary Smile

By: David R. Topper

There are a gazillion non-fictional books about Albert Einstein. On the fictional side, he is a character in movies, plays, and operas—but you will search in vain to find a historical novel about him alone. Unlike almost all famous people in history, Einstein has strangely remained untouched—until now. Here is the story of Einstein’s life as reminisced by Albert himself on one day (March 21, 1955) less than a month before his death. Sitting in his study in Princeton, New Jersey he composes a condolence letter to the family of a friend who just died. In the process, he ruminates on his life: dreaming and day-dreaming, and conversing with his secretary, step-daughter, and friends who visit. He recalls the women in his life, his struggle with his Jewish identity, his progressive social and political ideas, and of course his radical scientific theories. In this work of historical fiction—but based on extensive research—the role of music in his life and work weaves throughout the text—like a soundtrack to a movie.

Louder Than Love

By: Jessica Topper

In this powerful debut novel, a young librarian grieves the loss of her husband...and discovers a love that defies classification. It's been over three years since a train accident made a widow of Katrina Lewis, sending her and her young daughter Abbey back to the suburban town of her youth...the only place that still makes sense. Lauder Lake is the perfect place to hide and heal. Recluse rocker Adrian "Digger" Graves survived the implosion of his music career, but his muse has long lain dormant. Until Kat hires him to play at her library—not on the basis of his hard rock credentials but rather, because of the obscure kids' TV jingle he wrote years ago. In a case of mistaken identity, Adrian stumbles into the lives of Kat and her comically lovable daughter. Using tattoos as a timeline, Adrian unfurls his life for Kat. But as the courtship intensifies, it's unclear whose past looms larger: the widow's or the rocker's. Will their demons ever rest, or will they break these soul mates apart?

The Clash

Strummer, Jones, Simonon, Headon

By: Joe Strummer,Mick Jones,Paul Simonon,Topper Headon

Det här är boken om och av The Clash, världens bästa punkrockband. Här berättas hela historien om fyra killar från »Ladbroke Grove, London w10«, som skrev om rockhistorien under sju omtumlande år 19761983. The Clash var en svamp som sög åt sig samtiden och spottade ur sig låtar där varje textrad var på liv och död. De hade integritet nog att blanda rocknroll & punk med reggae & dub; vit musik med svart. The Clash var solidariska internationalister med bultande hjärtan och samtidigt det snyggaste band världen skådat. De var trendsättare, revolutionärer - och deras legendstatus har aldrig falnat. Strummer, Jones, Simonon & Headon - var för sig berättar de här sin egen version av vad som hände; från uppväxten till bildandet av The Clash, om spelningarna, om relationerna inom bandet, till fansen, pressen och andra band. Och, inte minst, hur låtarna kom till. Det här är den första Clash-boken som medlemmarna själva varit med och skapat. Materialet är hämtat ur deras privata samlingar och boken är rikt illustrerad med unika bilder av bandet både på och bakom scen, såväl som turnéaffischer, konsertbiljetter och kuriosa. »Mitt liv förändrades den sekunden dom gick upp på scen för evigt.« THÅSTRÖM »Ett av Englands bästa band någonsin.« NICK HORNBY, författare till bland annatHigh Fidelity och Om en pojke »En enorm inspirationskälla för mig.« BERNARD SUMNER, Joy Division & New Order »Alla fyra bidrar till berättelsen, men gång på gång är det Joe Strummers röst som sticker ut. Om en låt inspirerad av en filmreplik säger han att det var som att hålla i ena änden av en tråd som var fäst i en sång och när det börjar gå utför med The Clash beskriver han Jones som Elizabeth Taylor på uselt humör« NEW YORK TIMES

What I Learned from Making Over 200,000 Fun Balloon Creations!

How to Make Money While Making Kids Very Happy with Balloon Creations!

By: Topper the Clown,Carl E. Jones

Want to make some extra money with an initial outlay of 2-3 hours and $25 or less? Want to have FUN doing it? Want to work when and where you determine? Well then - you better get this book! There is an incredible opportunity for people who are personable, outgoing, friendly, like kids and that have enough common sense to come in out of the rain. Seriously! That's all it takes! Topper the Clown originally titled this book "What I Learned From Making Over 100,000 FUN Balloon Creations!" However, since then, he's made over 100,000 MORE and the knowledge you get in this book is EVERYTHING he's learned over the years about how to have fun, and how to make money doing it. Topper tells you everything you need to know in this book to soon start hearing his favorite 3 words when he's twisting for pay. Those three words are "Keep The Change!" "Keep The Change?" Yep! When the total is $12 and they hand you a $20 and say "KTC" is almost DOUBLES your income on the same customer! If you have a parent with a child in front of you, doesn't it make sense to make THEM as happy as humanly possible so that they will WANT to say, "KTC!" Sure it does! How do you get that to happen? READ THIS BOOK! Topper has been a professional clown since around 1999. He became a Certified Financial Planner in 1995. He's also an award winning clown and magician along with being an experienced public speaker and fund raiser for Children's Hospitals since 1996. Topper combines the best of all his experience into his persona as Topper the Magic Clown! This is a FUN book to read! Topper holds NOTHING back. Experienced balloon twisters have bought this book and learned a LOT about how to do what they love doing, better than ever. This book will make you happy, funny, popular, a hit with the kids, and if you follow some SIMPLE suggestions, more money than you would believe! Also, if you are looking for ways to increase the effectiveness of your church outreach efforts, THIS IS IT! Toss out the info about making money and follow the rest of info in this book! You NEVER have to charge $00.01 for a balloon, or even accept tips, if you don't want to. This information WILL help you with outreach beyond your wildest guesses. Here's what people have said about the book! The book is excellent! Even this ole' "guy" picked up a few new pointers!!! I'm excited about the several great ideas it has given me for my twisting and my gigs. I'll highly recommend your book to everyone I can who twists, clowns, or entertains children in any manner. You're sooo correct - the payment from a child of a kiss, hug, or just seeing the smile light up from something you create for them is one of the best paydays I receive. Great job!! A big ol' bump of the red nose to you! Received and loving it. I am not a twister and don't plan to be (although I'm intrigued). I bought the book for the real world insight and was very pleased with what I received. As a magician, it gave me a lot to consider in presentations to children and their parents. I enjoyed reading your book, very much. I really did enjoy it and I will be using the entertainment suggestions and advice. The section on set-ups, bags, signs and lights was great. As a new twister I needed that advice very much. It's great! Thanks. Topper's niece, at age 9, took a FEW of these ideas - at age NINE - and over 2 nights while the rest of the family was eating in a restaurant, made $90 in tips. She did it ALL herself. She knew 4-5 balloons & that was it! If you are worried about having to learn how to make a LOT of creations - STOP! You can learn about 10 in about 2-3 hours. That's plenty. You'll never miss the price of this book, but if you don't get it, you'll be missing out on FUN & some great potential income. Best Wishes & Happy Twisting! p.s. If you buy this book, send a copy of the receipt to Topper at topper@topper.us & he'll send you TOTALLY FOR FREE a VERY cool present! NO cost, at all

The Clash

By: Joe Strummer,Paul Simonon,Mick Jones,Topper Headon

Los Clash fueron un grupo insólito, una perfecta anomalía. Pioneros del punk rock británico, sus incendiarios conciertos y sus lúcidas composiciones, la brillante singularidad de su estilo y la pasión de su compromiso político lograron plasmar el espíritu de una época y los convirtieron en un auténtico fenómeno mundial cuyo legado sigue influyendo en los mejores músicos emergentes y despertando el entusiasmo, cuando no la veneración, de las nuevas audiencias. No deja de ser significativo que su documental autobiográfico Westway to the World obtuviera un premio Grammy o que la revista Rolling Stone escogiese London Calling como uno de los mejores álbumes jamás grabados. Éste es el primer libro hecho por el grupo mismo. Gracias a una laboriosa exploración de su hasta ahora inaccesible archivo, esta obra reúne materiales inéditos (carteles, ilustraciones o fotos de naturaleza muy diversa) acompañados por los comentarios, recuerdos y revelaciones de los propios Clash. Iconos, iconoclastas, arietes de todas las insurgencias, su historia está ya impregnada de leyenda. Mucha gente ha opinado sobre el cómo y el porqué de aquel estruendo, pero ya era hora de que los verdaderos protagonistas nos ofrecieran su versión.
