Rachel Waring is deliriously happy. Out of nowhere, a great-aunt leaves her a Georgian mansion in another city--and she sheds her old life without delay. Gone is her dull administrative job, her mousy wardrobe, her downer of a roommate. She will live as a woman of leisure, devoted to beauty, creativity, expression, and love. Once installed in her new quarters, Rachel plants a garden, takes up writing, and impresses everyone she meets with her extraordinary optimism. But as Rachel sings and jokes the days away, her new neighbors begin to wonder if she might be taking her transformation just a bit too far. In "Wish Her Safe at Home," Stephen Benatar finds humor and horror in the shifting region between elation and mania. His heroine could be the next-door neighbor of the Beales of Grey Gardens or a sister to Jane Gardam's oddball protagonists, but she has an ebullient charm all her own. Minimize

A new window opens onto the cosmos. Almost every day we are challenged by new information from the outermost reaches of space. Using straightforward language, "One Universe" explores the physical principles that govern the workings of our own world so that we can appreciate how they operate in the cosmos around us. Bands of color in a sunlit crystal and the spectrum of starlight in giant telescopes, the arc of a hard-hit baseball and the orbit of the moon, traffic patterns on a freeway and the spiral arms in a galaxy full of stars - they're all tied together in grand and simple ways. We can understand the vast cosmos in which we live by exploring three basic concepts: motion, matter, and energy. With these as a starting point, "One Universe" shows how the physical principles that operate in our kitchens and backyards are actually down-to-Earth versions of cosmic processes. The book then takes us to the limits of our knowledge, asking the ultimate questions about the origins and existence of life as we know it and where the universe came from - and where it is going. Glorious photographs - many seen for the first time in these pages - and original illustrations expand and enrich our understanding. Evocative and clearly written, "One Universe" explains complex ideas in ways that every reader can grasp and enjoy. This book captures the grandeur of the heavens while making us feel at home in the cosmos. Above all, it helps us realize that galaxies, stars, planets, and we ourselves all belong to one universe.

The Wycliffe Brothers Tournament Backgammon Set is truly a break-through product. It offers all the features found in high-end professional backgammon sets at an affordable price, and is available exclusively from GammonVillage. This full-size backgammon set is built around an ultra smooth playing surface, known as V-Fiber. Similar in texture to felt or microfiber, this proprietary material was developed exclusively by The Wycliffe Brothers, satisfying the two most important criteria for a backgammon playing surface: 1) the checkers glide effortlessly on a luxurious and perfectly smooth field, and 2) the playing surface offers the perfect amount of friction to ensure your checkers remain in place if the board is bumped or moved.

If you're looking for heavy checkers, you've found them. Weighing in at a whopping 23 grams each, it's official - these are the King of backgammon checkers. Each backgammon set comes equipped with professional dice cups, ergonomically designed to fit your hand perfectly, and lined with the same V-Fiber to keep the noise of shaking to an absolute minimum. You'll also appreciate the tournament grade trip-lip, just to make sure the dice fall randomly and cannot be manipulated. A tournament size doubling cube, measuring 1-3/16in., as well as semi-precision dice are standard equipment on all models. Each case features reinforced luggage-style handle and nickel plated combination locks. in.I highly recommend the Wycliffe Brothers Tournament backgammon sets.

Though she owned several houses, Agatha Christie had one surpassing favorite: Greenway, on the Dart estuary in Devon. She was born nearby, bought it in 1938, and spent all her summers there until her death in 1976. It was, she wrote, "the loveliest house in the world." Greenway makes a thinly disguised appearance in at least two of her novels, and nearby settings also play a crucial role in her books. This book explores and illustrates the significance of Devon in Christie's work, and of Greenway in particular -- its magnificent gardens, its beautiful setting on the estuary, and her relationship with its servants and staff. Richly illustrated with rare archival images and evocative photographs of Greenway and the surrounding countryside, "Agatha Christie at Home" is a delightful look at the life and work of the world's best-selling novelist.

It could have been a Fairytale Romance if that pesky Reality thing wasn't in the way. Stay At Home mom and put-upon daycare provider Janie Hadley rarely gets a moment to herself never mind an entire night out, so when she's invited to a concert featuring the famous singer/actor Billy Smitts, Janie isn't looking for much more than a modicum of Tanqueray and a whole lot of letting-loose fun. But the morning after, Janie finds herself to be plus a killer hangover and minus a wallet. As our headachy heroine frantically calls to cancel her credit cards, the perpetrator stalks her to her house and shows up at her door with his famous, multi-million dollar smile and a dubious business proposition. Billy Smitts is on location for a few months and has run dry of twenty year old blonde, big-boobed nannies for his daughter. Much to Janie's dismay, Billy Smitts uses his trademark boyish charm as well as his enormous, ahem, buying power to manipulate his way past her protests and into her daycare. Forced to play nice in front of the kids on a daily basis, a contentious friendship develops between the notorious celebrity and the Mrs. Perfect mom. Billy and Janie, the two most unlikely of allies, soon begin to realize that despite what the Outside World may believe, neither of them really does have it all, and the harrowing experiences they share cause them both to call into question whether they are better off facing life together, or apart. Turning a tried and true romance novel premise on its ear, Sarah Phelan tells Stay At Home as a sweetly personal, intensely sexy, provocatively smart and brutally honest story where love refuses to play by the rules and how "happily ever after" doesn't always mean the same thing to everyone.

Originally built in 1925 the Ford Trimotor is one of the most iconic early American aircraft ever produced. While the Trimotor itself was technically a success the Ford Company did not actually make a profit in the aviation sector though the aviation sector certainly profited from the credibility that Ford's proven reputation provided. More than 100 airlines around the world operated Ford Trimotors and the U.S. military utilized the craft heavily during the 1920s. The Trimotor was heavily involved in the pioneering days of aviation history being involved in a number of historic acts including the first trans-polar flight the first use of an aircraft in a U.S. presidential campaign and being the tanker in the first mid-air refueling.The historic Ford Trimotor is modeled here in its 5-AT variant in the livery of American Airlines. Tremendous attention to detail and superb construction make this model a must-have for any aviation enthusiast. Minimize
