Paperback. Condición: Good. As in Chekhov's play The Three Sisters, the characters in Mildred Walker's Orange Tree search for meaning and happiness in their often uneventful middle-class lives-and yet from such a seemingly ordinary premise, subtle and defining drama ensues. Editing Walker's last novel, which the author reworked for nearly two decades, Carmen Pearson has found indications that the Chekhov play had in fact been a template that Walker contemporized in The Orange Tree. The novel centers on two families living in Boston in the 1970s: an older couple, Tiresa and Paulo Romano, and the newlyweds Olive and Ron Fifer. The fragile state of the older woman's health and the younger woman's marriage brings these two couples together in their separate and quietly desperate isolation, producing a combination of insight and compassion that only the finest story can evoke. In The Orange Tree, Walker explores the relationships between men and women and offers an absorbing commentary on literature, writing, education, middle-class life, and the nature of friendship and of death. Mildred Walker (1905-98), a highly regarded chronicler of New England and the American West, is the author of numerous novels including The Southwest Corner, Fireweed, and Winter Wheat, which was chosen in 2003 by the Montana Center for the Book as the One Book Montana selection; it is available in a Bison Books edition. Carmen Pearson recently completed the first book-length critical consideration of Walker's work, forthcoming from the University of Nebraska Press.…

Paperback. Condición: Good. SLAMED: Definition (expr.) extremely busy, not having enough time to get everything done, having many responsibilities, unable to do some things because too busy with others, task saturated, overwhelmed with work. The effect of working more simply yields more work. Everyone we talk to feels Slammed, and we're betting that you do too. If you are one of the millions of people who is burning the candle at both ends, juggling the demands of career and family, sacrificing health and sleep, drowning in to do lists or stooping under the burden of incredible responsibility, then this book is for you. And, if you think you are one of the rare few who believes you can actually manage a Slammed lifestyle indefinitely-this is a must read. Warning: This is not a time management book.

We offer some simple, practical (and some harder, more complex) solutions for being more productive, improving the quality of your work, leading your business, and living your best un-Slammed life. …

Condición: Good. Eve Gardiner is a rather cool urban single mum who lives in a small North London flat with her four kids, Denny (22), Tom (20), Anna (9) and Robbie (2). She gardens and does yoga every day to keep herself sane, while holding down a stressful job as a probation officer. She is pretty content and her life is filled with her children, friends, work and occasional casual sex. Then suddenly Tom announces that his 20-year-old girlfriend Deepa is pregnant and that they want to get married, (her family deeply disapprove of the match). And things start to get really complicated when Tom decides to track down his father Dennis (who walked out of their lives when his business collapsed leaving them penniless) and invite him to the wedding. And if that's not enough to put the cat among the pigeons, Eve's alarmingly attrative, much-younger ex-boyfriend Joseph (and father of Anna and Robbie) appears on the scene again and they both begin to wonder whether they did the right thing when they split up.…

Paperback. Condición: Good. Wholeliness can give you a refreshing new look at life, offering a sense of fulfillment and peace. As you flow through the pages of this divine work, allow the wisdom to penetrate your soul and enrich you in glorious ways.-- Peggy McColl, the New York Times best-selling author of Your Destiny Switch and The Won Thing Standing on the brink of the greatest shift in human history, which is due to occur in 2012, we sense that our purpose lies in shattering illusions that have inhibited us from reaching our true potential. Internationally renowned clinical psychologist Carmen Harra explains that we must embrace wholeliness: the unity of humanity, the Divine, and the universe. Only by perceiving that we are both individuals and at one with the whole can we begin to eradicate our fears and draw on Divine support during this crucial time. Harra shows us how we can: regain trust in ourselves, others, and the spiritual realm; address the suffering we've caused to the human race throughout history; expand universal awareness and elevate our consciousness; and achieve a state of abundance, generosity, and joy so rich that we overflow with compassion. Wholeliness is the nourishment we require to transcend a challenging era and foster unconditional fulfillment in our lives.…

Paperback. Condición: Good. A brilliant, feminist twist on the Book of Genesis from Carmen Boullosa. What if everything they?ve told us about the Garden of Eden was wrong? Faced with what appears to be an apocryphal manuscript containing ten books and ninety-one parts, Eve decides to tell her version of the story of Genesis: she was not created from Adam?s rib, nor was she expelled for taking the apple from the serpent; the story of Abel and Cain isn't true, neither are those of the Flood and the Tower of Babel.In brilliant prose, Carmen Boullosa offers a take on the Book of Genesis that dismantles patriarchy and rebuilds our understanding of the world?from the origin of gastronomy, to the domestication of animals, to the cultivation of land and pleasure?all through the feminine gaze. Based on this exploration, at times both joyful and painful, The Book of Eve takes a tour through the stories we?ve been told since childhood, which have helped to foster (and cement) the absurd idea that woman is the companion, complement, and even accessory to man, opening the door to criminal violence against women. Boullosa refutes this entrenched, dangerous perspective in her foundational and brazen feminist novel.…
