Book Description
This scientific detective story is the first book which explains clearly the science used by paleontologists, and the new, cutting-edge techniques that led to the discovery of Seismosaurus, the longest dinosaur yet known--and possibly the largest land animal to have ever lived. Gillette's first-person account of the project answers the most frequently asked questions about Seismosaurus: How was it discovered? How do we know it is a new species? How did it die? Part catalogue of the workings of paleontological science in the 1990s, the book also illustrates the exciting collaboration between Gillette, the chemists and physicists who helped to reconstruct Seismosaurus.

What do bouncing, biting, unemployable sheep dogs, sniping spiders, irritated ants, and getting-under-everyone’s-skin, Cousin Fred (addicted to catnip and trouble), plus Billy-Bom-Tom-Cat all have in common? They’re the ones Patty-Cat and Kittle, two adventurous little kittens, meet and deal with, and sometimes it’s not easy! Patty-Cat and Kittle came to live with Angel at 112 Liver Lane, and life is far from dull. Two sheep dogs, Hal and Sam, come snarling down the street, snapping at each other and when Kittle tries to stop them, they turn on her. She suggests they could be nicer to each other, but alas, peacemakers are never appreciated. Off they go, snarling and biting, hoping to fight Hector the goat. Cousin Fred comes for a visit and disrupts the whole household. Nothing he does turns out right. He spills gingerbread batter all over the kitchen, breaks things, disappears and refuses to do chores. Fred meets a disreputable ruffian called Billy-Bom-Tom-Cat who leads him to a catnip café. Before he is totally beat up, Kittle comes to the rescue and escorts him home. But Fred finds music, banging on the piano, and finally is sent to music school.

Book Description
A few days before Christmas in 1969, handsome Tony Bettellini, an Irish-Italian ex-waiter, gets sentenced to life imprisonment for a murder he didn’t commit, narrowly beating the death penalty. He has a baptism of fire when he arrives in Sing Sing Prison in up-state New York and finds himself called to reckoning to the office of Warden Wallace, known as ‘The Ambassador’, who runs his prison with an iron fist. Wallace soon becomes a dangerous enemy, as does, over the years, Gus Jablonsky, the psychopathic convict chef, who runs the prison kitchen, where Tony is given a job. Tony becomes a leader in the prison, fighting for the rights of the subjugated cons, who are at the mercy of Wallace’s goon squad in his corrupt and cruel domain. Will justice finally prevail, and Tony get see free, or is he doomed to become a vegetable on the Hospital Third Floor, or end up in an unmarked grave in Sing Sing’s convict graveyard? Beautiful Veronica Idlewilde, Tony’s famous model socialite girlfriend, heiress to a vast fortune, sticks by him loyally throughout the years of his unjust incarceration, but he still dreams of Shenandoah Buchanan, the girl from Virginia, he fell madly in love with years before. After meeting again at Tony’s trial, Shenandoah and Sonny Gracia, Tony’s best friend, become close friends. Sonny is deeply in love with her, but she still hankers after Tony, her lost love, who sends her away from Sing Sing when she visits him and tells her to never come back. Many turbulent years pass before Shenandoah realizes she loves Sonny, too. But nothing is as simple as it seems, and the lives of these four people are fatefully intertwined. Set in New York, Virginia, and Sing Sing, this magnificent story, about the triumph of the human spirit over great adversity, love, hate, revenge and salvation, will make you laugh, weep for joy and weep with sorrow. Another unforgettable epic story by Brenda George that begs to be put on the big screen!

Book Description
After conquering the Internet, cats are now taking on linguistics! Since the advent of social media, cats have become a topic central to online communication, and the multitude of cat-related accounts now online has made this a world-wide phenomenon. Through cat-inspired varieties of language, we have developed a genre of cat-inspired vocabulary. And on our special social media accounts for our cats, we take on their identities, as we post, write, talk, and chat - as our feline friends. This innovative book provides linguistic analyses of the cyber 'Cativerse', exploring online language variation, and explaining key linguistic concepts – all through the lens of cat-related communication. Each chapter explores a different sociolinguistic phenomena, drawing on fun and engaging examples including memes, hashtags, captions and 'LOLcats', from platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and Twitter. Innovative yet accessible, it is catnip for all 'hoomans' interested in how language is used online.
