Although we all love our children, it is fair to say that from time to time we don't really know them or even like them. Every Sun sign has the ability to get along with every other but some find it easier to establish a good rapport than others. A little knowledge of astrological characteristics can make a huge and beneficial difference to family harmony. Much worry can be alleviated if it is accepted, for example, that Geminis are likely to master words and movement quickly, but Taureans will win hands down when it comes to creating masterpieces in the sandpit. And as for the Piscean ability to hold a tune and tap to a rhythm, Handel & Chopin are testament to that! Star Babies is organised by Sun sign, and by familial relationship. Each chapter concentrates on the child's sign, with subheadings for mother, father and siblings. For example, turn to Aries and read about your child from 0-5 years, then look for your Sun sign (Aries child/Cancer mother), followed by the father's sign and so on. Minimize

Adam Nash is a superstar. House, cars, money, women ... he's got it all. Yeah, he's conceited, but with his looks and talent why shouldn't he be? Not until he's banned from another hotel for his drunken antics does he realize that it's time to grow up and treat his music as a career and not a free ride. Now Adam has set his sights on florist Jade Graham. She's not the kind of woman he's used to, she's too smart to play the role of arm-candy. Adam is going to have to keep his celebrity status a secret for as long as possible, because what woman in her right mind would get attached to a playboy without a conscience? Jade Graham is going to be one tough case, but she seems hell bent on proving that there is more than one way for a star to fall. Purchase the paperback, get the ebook free!

Following on the heels of the stunning #1 bestseller Under ... Read more

Following on the heels of the stunning #1 bestseller Under the Dome , a new collection of four original never-before-published stories from Stephen King. “I believe there is another man inside every man, a stranger…” writes Wilfred Leland James at the start of a riveting confession that makes up “1922,” the first in this pitch-black quartet of mesmerizing tales from Stephen King. For James, that stranger is awakened when his wife Arlette proposes selling off the family homestead and moving to Omaha, setting in motion a gruesome train of murder and madness. In “Big Driver,” a cozy-mystery writer named Tess encounters a stranger along a back road in Massachusetts when she takes a shortcut home after a book-club engagement. Violated and left for dead, Tess plots a revenge that will bring her face to face with another stranger: the one inside herself. “Fair Extension,” the shortest of these tales, is perhaps the nastiest and certainly the funniest. Making a deal with the devil not only saves Harry Streeter from a fatal cancer but provides rich recompense for a lifetime of resentment. When her husband of more than twenty years is away on one of his business trips, Darcy Anderson looks for batteries in the garage. Her toe knocks up against a box under a worktable and she discovers the stranger inside her husband. It’s a horrifying discovery, rendered with bristling intensity, and it definitively ends a good marriage. Full Dark, No Stars proves Stephen King is a master of the long story form. Minimize

Fascinated by the themes of random chance, love, death, and health, Ron Egatz builds poems chronicling human conditions both self-inflicted and unavoidable in his debut publication Beneath Stars Long Extinct.   The collection’s title refers to the light from stars reaching us after traveling millions of years; light from stars which may have died before humans walked the our planet. Egatz’s process of writing poems often seems as long, with each poem going through approximately forty drafts.   Little-known historical figures and subjects of news stories find their way into these poems. Airline stowaways, the victim of the first auto accident in the United States, and former Hollywood legend George Raft make appearances in this collection. Narrators describing encounters with characters ranging from washed-up rock musicians to former lovers, war veterans to family members.   “I see fragility everywhere,” says Egatz. “If we didn’t face this fact previously, our times dictate it to us daily now: across borders, in our environment, throughout the global economy, biologically, and countless other ways. I’m also interested in the temporary nature of life and all things we hold precious, like the people we love and our relationships with them, for example. My poems hold up examples of this. Sometimes people write me after finding a poem of mine in a magazine and they say things like, ‘you said something in this poem I always knew, but never verbalized.’ I allow myself to feel good about this for about ten minutes, then I go back to agonizing over the next poem and its revisions.”   A poet with a large and loyal following in the greater New York area, for years Egatz has been giving readings to FoEs (Friends of Egatz, as one fan on a blog termed them) and recent converts interested in lucid verse. Pursuing poetry for 25 years to the month of publication of this book, Egatz explores the limits of the lyric narrative poem with subject matter spanning historical events to family snapshots. This collection is a rally cry for poetry unafraid of being understood, yet not sacrificing lyric quality, music, or emotional depth.  Minimize

When Star Wars debuted in 1977, it revolutionized mainstream American filmmaking, transporting fans to new galaxies and introducing them to countless now-classic characters, aliens, planets, and starships. In the decades since, the Star Wars Saga has become a phenomenon impacting cultures across the globe.   Just as George Lucas drew upon the work of N. C. Wyeth and Norman Rockwell for his own visual inspiration, he has now invited more than 100 well-known and promising artists to draw upon the entire Star Wars galaxy for inspiration. Star Wars: Visions collects these magnificent artworks for the first time. Featuring pieces by renowned artists such as Amano, Allan R. Banks, Harley Brown, Gary Carter, James Christensen, Michael Coleman, Kinuko Craft, Jim Dietz, Phillipe Druillet, Donato Giancola, Ann Hanson, H. R. Giger, Daniel Greene, Ron Kleeman, Arantzazu Martinez, Syd Mead, Moebius, Paul Oxborough, Alex Ross, Anthony J. Ryder, Dolfi Stoki, William Stout, Dan Thompson, Julie Bell and Boris Vallejo, Scott Waddell, and Jamie Wyeth, Star Wars: Visions is a breakthrough tribute to the worldwide inspiration that is Star Wars. Praise for Star Wars Art: Visions:"Star Wars Art: Visions . . . acknowledges what fans have felt all along. They don't want to be mere spectators, but involved in the storytelling too." -Los Angeles Times Minimize

Warping into syndication in 1987, Star Trek: The Next Generation successfully launched its seven-season "continuing mission" of the starship Enterprise, and this classy DVD boxed set gathers the show's inaugural season in crisp picture clarity and dazzling 5.1-channel sound. A ratings leader with a sharp ensemble cast, this revamped Trek honored series creator Gene Roddenberry's original Trek concept, nurtured by returning veterans like producer Robert H. Justman and writers D.C. Fontana and David Gerrold. Several first-season episodes have original-series counterparts, and while the season was awkwardly inconsistent for all involved (including Roddenberry's heir apparent, producer Rick Berman), in retrospect the series began on remarkably solid footing. Patrick Stewart was perfect as Enterprise Captain Jean-Luc Picard, while Marina Sirtis struggled with a wretched hair bun and an ill-defined character, eventually blessing Counselor Troi with delicate nuance. Denise Crosby made a strong but underutilized impression as Security Chief Tasha Yar, and left the series before season's end, allowing writers to develop Klingon Lieutenant Worf (Michael Dorn) into a fan favorite. Brent Spiner transcended Spock comparisons with his triumphant portrayal of the android Lieutenant Commander Data; and while Jonathan Frakes was accepted as First Officer Will Riker, fans ultimately rejected Wil Wheaton as ensign Wesley Crusher, the teenaged son of the ship's doctor (Gates McFadden). Still, these 25 episodes laid a firm foundation for subsequent seasons, and highlights include the Raymond Chandleresque "holo- novel" of "The Big Goodbye," Data's backstory in "Datalore," the Klingon rituals of "Heart of Glory," and a Romulan encounter in "The Neutral Zone." The DVD supplements (all on the seventh disc) are good enough to make anyone wish for more: four featurettes recall myriad first-season challenges, filled with insider perspective and enough NextGen trivia to satiate all but the most obsessive Trekkers back on Earth. Looking back, it's easy to see why NextGen lived long and prospered. --Jeff Shannon Minimize

Only one vessel survives from the White Star Line, The small passenger tender Nomadic, built specially to service the Olympic and Titanic at Cherbourg and all that remains of the other ships are photos and small items from on board.
