A Regrettable Twist of Fate
Tapping into the idea that bad boys always get the girl, A Regrettable Twist of Fate validates that premise by revealing that sometimes what repels her also entices her. Jay Byrd, NBA champion, is charismatic, witty and is just as outstanding on the court as one might expect. He makes a promise to his dying mother not to break the heart of his first love, Cindy. With every intention of honoring that promise, Jays plan is soon halted by his attraction for Jessie Winters, WNBA champion. When Jessie and Jay first meet, sparks sizzle immediately. Though Jessie is somewhat put off by Jays arrogance, she doesnt dismiss him totally. To make matters more complicated for Jessie, Jay vacillates between his first love, Cindy and the woman he always wanted to love Jessie Winters. Torn and driven at the same time, Jay soon learns that not making a decision can sometimes be the worst decision of all. This seductive romantic drama delivers a whopping dose of tension, temptation and traged..

Astronomy: Journey To The Cosmic Frontier
This is a text for an introductory astronomy course. One of the main goals is to give a broad and deep enough background in astronomy so that students will be able to follow current developments in the subject years after they complete the course. This book presumes that most of its readers are not science majors and that they probably have not had a college-level science or mathematics course. It gives a complete description of current astronomical knowledge, although not at an extreme technical level nor in a way that fails to communicate the quantitative nature of physical science. Finally, the historical development of astronomy is emphasized to show that astronomy, like other sciences, advances through the efforts of many scientists, and to show how present ideas have been developed. - The book includes up-to-date results for the Mars Global Surveyor, with discussion of distant supernovas and the cosmological constant. - The free CD-ROM takes students further into the information ..

They would hardly have beenwritten had it not been for the war, although only one of them isconcerned with that subject. To his other responsibilities theKaiser now adds this volume.For these plays were not the work of a professional writer, butthe recreation of a (temporary) professional soldier. Play-writingis a luxury to a journalist, as insidious as golf and much moreexpensive in time and money. When an article is written, thefinancial reward (and we may as well live as not) is a matter ofcertainty. A novelist, too, even if he is not in "the front rank"--but I never heard of one who wasn't--can at least be sure ofpublication.
