Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics. I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practise resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms, and, if it proved to be mean, why then to get the whole and genuine meanness of it, and publish its meanness to the world; or if it were sublime, to know it by experience, and be able to give a true account of it in my next excursion. Henry David Thoreau, Walden HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics.

Great characters, fine writing, totally engrossing' - International bestselling author Stephen King on The Ninth MetalNamed a Most Anticipated SFF Fiction Book by New ScientistIt began with a comet. They called it Cain, a wandering star that passed by Earth, illuminating the night with a swampy green light and twinning the sky by day with two suns. A year later, Earth spun through the debris field the comet left behind. Suddenly, hundreds of thousands of meteors plummeted into the atmosphere, destroying swaths of electrical grids, leaving shores of beaches filled with deceased sea life, and setting acres of land ablaze.

Separately, they have each bandaged over the hole Mia left behind.Just as Jack is uncovering a new form of deadly parasitic fungus in his lab, Nora is assigned to investigate the cases of ritualistic murders dotting Seattle.

The attackers appear to be possessed.It only takes a moment - for a sickness to infect, for a person to be killed, for a child to be lost. When Nora enlists Jack to identify the cause of this string of vicious deaths, Jack is quick to help.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The dazzling New York Times bestseller"Nathan Hill is a maestro" John Irving"Sparkling, sweeping debut novel that takes in a large swath of recent American history and pop culture . A grand entertainment" KirkusMeet Samuel Andresen-Anderson - stalled writer, bored teacher at a local college, obsessive player of online video games. He hasn't seen his mother, Faye, in decades, not since she abandoned her family when he was a boy. Now she has suddenly reappeared, having committed an absurd politically-motivated crime that electrifies the nightly news, beguiles the Internet, and inflames a divided country. The media paints Faye as a radical hippie with a sordid past, but as far as Samuel knows, his mother was an ordinary girl who married her high school sweetheart. Which version of his mother is true? Two facts are certain - she's facing some serious charges, and she needs Samuel's help.As Samuel begins to excavate his mother's - and his country's - history, the story moves from the rural Midwest of the 1960s, to New York City during the Great Recession and the Occupy Wall Street movement, and back to the infamous riots at the 1968 Chicago Democratic National Convention. Finally, the trail leads him to wartime Norway, home of the mysterious Nix that his mother told him about as a child, a spirit that can take the shape of a white horse, luring children to their deaths. And in these places, Samuel will unexpectedly find that he has to rethink everything he ever knew about his mother - a woman with an epic story of her own, a story she has kept hidden from the world.PRAISE FOR THE NIX"The Nix will go down as one of the best debut books of the year." Dallas Morning News"Hill skillfully blends humor and darkness, imagery and observation. . [a] rich, lively take on American social conflict, real and invented, over the last half-century."

Christina Baker Kline, author of Orphan Train The instant New York Times No. 5 bestseller, a gloriously ambitious, witty and deeply touching debut novel of fifty years of America and of American radical protest, the story of a son, the mother who left him as a child, and how his search to uncover the secrets of her life leads him to reclaim his own.

Hardcover / Hardback. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 5th or later edition. Hardback. When his picture appeared on the cover of 'Texas Monthly.' Joaquin Jackson became the icon of the modern Texas Rangers. But the role that Jackson has always played the best is that of the man who wears the silver badge cut from a Mexican cinco peso coin - a working Texas Ranger. Legend says that one Ranger is all it takes to put down lawlessness and restore the peace - one riot, one Ranger. In this adventure-filled memoir, Joaquin Jackson recalls what it was like to be the Ranger who responded when riots threatened, violence erupted, and criminals needed to be brought to justice across a wide swath of the Texas-Mexico border from 1966 to 1993. Jackson has dramatic stories to tell. Defying all stereotypes, he was the one Ranger who ensured a fair election - and an overwhelming win for La Raza Unida party candidates - in Zavala County in 1972.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. Reverend Elwood Morris Wherry, the author of this text, was a Presbyterian missionary who spent much of his life living in India. In addition to being an author, he was also an accomplished professor and lecturer at various seminary schools throughout the world. Islam: Or the Religion of the Turk is Wherry's book on Islam and the Muslim people. The purpose of this short text is to introduce Islam to the Christian world, specifically missionaries that would be working amongst Muslim peoples. Historically, Wherry is considered an Islamic apologist, or one who defends the positions of a religion to the outside world. The book thus presents the core values of Islam to readers with the hope that through information will come compassion and understanding for the beliefs of others. The book also details a brief history of the religion, its origins, and how it came to gain popularity throughout the world. Wherry achieves his goal of presenting a brief but detailed summary of Islam. Written from the perspective of an outsider, the author expertly introduces the core concepts of Islam in an easy to understand manner. Despite the quality of the content, the book can be critiqued for its lack of structure. The entire text is essentially one essay. There are no chapters, sub-headings, introductions, or summaries. While not absolutely necessary for a work of only 64 pages, enhanced structure would have made this text more readable. Islam: Or the Religion of the Turk is an excellent introduction to Islam for those with little to no knowledge of the religion. Perhaps more today than at the time it was written, it is important for people to understand the belief system that drives a large swath of the world's population. Wherry's book is thus recommended for anybody interested in expanding their knowledge of one of the world's great religions. print-on-demand item.

The triumphant return of Larry McMurtry with this ballad in prose: his heartfelt tribute to a bygone era of the American West.Larry McMurtry has done more than any other living writer to shape our literary imagination of the American West. With The Last Kind Words Saloon, he returns to the vivid and unsparing portrait of the nineteenth-century and cowboy lifestyle made so memorable in his classic Lonesome Dove. Evoking the greatest characters and legends of the Old Wild West, McMurtry tells the story of the closing of the American frontier through the travails of two of its most immortal figures: Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday.Long Grass, Texas. Once hailed as heroes for their days of subduing drunks in Abilene and Dodge - more often with a mean look than a pistol - the taciturn Wyatt now idles away his time between bottles, while the dentist-turned-gunslinger Doc is more adept at poker than extracting teeth. With the buffalo herds gone, the Comanche defeated, and vast swaths of the Great Plains enclosed by cattle ranches, Wyatt and Doc live on, even as the storied West that forged their myths disappears.McMurtry traces the rich and varied friendship of the heroic pair from the town of Long Grass to Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show in Denver, then to Mobetie, Texas, and finally to Tombstone, Arizona, culminating with the famed gunfight at the O.K. Corral, rendered here in McMurtry's stark and peerless prose.As harsh and beautiful, and as brutal and captivating as the open range it depicts, The Last Kind Words Saloon celebrates the genius of one of the most original American writers.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things.This book is about a strange objectstrange in part because it is something that we all have been, and that many of us eat. Nicole Walkers Egg relishes in sharp juxtapositions of seemingly fanciful or repellent topics, so that reproductive science and gustatory habits are considered alongside one another, and personal narrative and broad swaths of natural history jostle, like yolk and albumen. Mapping curious eggs across times, scales, and spaces, Egg draws together surprising perspectives on this common objectegg as food, as art object, as metaphor and feminist symbol, as cultural icon.Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic. Taking in Faberge eggs, Easter eggs, dinosaur eggs, eggs across cultures and cuisines, rotten eggs, and good eggs, Egg is a whimsical and sometimes surprisingly serious examination of the humble egg.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Chapman, Susanna (illustrator). Hardcover. A vibrantly illustrated biography about visionary artist Christo, encouraging creativity, perseverance, and appreciating the beauty all around usChristo (19352020) and Jeanne-Claude (19352009) are renowned for their large-scale, ambitious art installations that wrapped landmarks and swaths of land in fabric, including Berlins Wrapped Reichstag, Pariss The Pont Neuf Wrapped, and concluding with New York Citys The Gates in Central Park (2005). This lively biography chronicles Christo's humble childhood in Soviet-controlled Bulgariaunder a regime that suppressed individuality and creativityto his international fame as a bold (and controversial) innovator in the art world. Christo discovered an early love of art and found a way to make a living out of his passion by wrapping bottles, cans, stacks of magazines, and even an air conditioner. When he met his wife, Jeanne-Claude, they moved to New York City as undocumented immigrants and became equal partners in both life and workhe, the artist, and she, the dealmaker. Together, Christo and Jeanne-Claude made elaborate, visually stunning installations that transformed public spaces around the world, all free to the public. Christo never explained why he felt compelled to wrap things in fabricrather, his work celebrated individual interpretation and the simple joy of seeing something familiar in a new way. And though each work was temporary, their awe-inspiring designs, uniting nature with the manmade, stayed with viewers long afterward. Covered in Color inspires readers to appreciate the beauty around us, however fleeting, and to push the boundaries of "possible."
