Book Description
The squirrelly little professor Stanley Kosiewski occupies an unstable place in the world located between two realities: an imagined one in which he socializes and converses with some of the most famous characters of world literature and the academic world of dysfunctional Winston University. The latter is defined by his relationship with four colleagues. Together with K, they comprise the Fellowship of the Fire, a literary clique of philosophically minded, antiquated intellectuals with antiquated opinions on everything from soup to nuts. When faced with the prospect of retirement from academia, the odd little professor, affectionately known as the gerbil by students and colleagues alike, begins to reflect on the purpose and meaning of his life and his career. Waiting to be discovered in the vague space between these realities is something of an answer to his perplexing questions about his relevance.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 299
Book Description
David Barnett’s 1977 shooting death outside Cooper, Kentucky, has haunted the small town’s former star athlete, Sheriff Tanner “Touch” Thomas, for decades. When he knocks David’s cold case file off a pile of paperwork on his desk, Touch bends over to retrieve it and sees handwritten notes peeking out of the file that spark him to revisit the death. Yet without a single piece of physical evidence materializing in at least thirty years, it appears the sheriff has his job cut out for him. As Touch begins to unravel the tangled web of details around Barnett’s shooting, he discovers links to a long-running drug ring in Cooper tied to the Dixie Mafia. After he decides to partner with the FBI to bust the drug ring, the choice both helps Touch and places him in extreme danger. Now the sheriff must blend his compassion and affection for his small town with his action hero-like abilities in order to take down Cooper’s biggest drug dealers and hopefully solve the town’s longest running cold case in the process. In this compelling mystery, a Kentucky sheriff reopens a decades-old murder case that prompts a determined mission to bring down a local drug ring.

American English Compendium
Author: Marv Rubinstein
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1442232838
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 543
Book Description
The American English Compendium is a fun way to explore the nuances of the English language—learn that a group of lions is called a pride; a group of whales, a pod; and a group of owls, a parliament. Distinguish between a quack and a shyster. Learn that “tabling a motion” in a U.S. court has an opposite meaning from the same term in England. This book picks up where other language dictionaries leave off: it includes common proverbs, a sampling of American English versus British English, popular American expressions and slang, acronyms, and varied information on everything from wildlife to currency. In this new edition, the staples have been updated and fresh chapters have been added, with information on pronunciation, oddball English words, and even some of the new Internet terminology, including Twitterspeak.
