NATIONAL BESTSELLER • From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of A Thousand Acres comes “an uproariously funny and at the same time hauntingly melancholy portrait of a college community in the Midwest" (The New York Times). In this darkly satirical send-up of academia and the Midwest, we are introduced to Moo University, a distinguished institution devoted to the study of agriculture. Amid cow pastures and waving fields of grain, Moo’s campus churns with devious plots, mischievous intrigue, lusty liaisons, and academic one-upmanship, Chairman X of the Horticulture Department harbors a secret fantasy to kill the dean; Mrs. Walker, the provost's right hand and campus information queen, knows where all the bodies are buried; Timothy Monahan, associate professor of English, advocates eavesdropping for his creative writing assignments; and Bob Carlson, a sophomore, feeds and maintains his only friend: a hog named Earl Butz. Wonderfully written and masterfully plotted, Moo gives us a wickedly funny slice of life.

God's Influence in the Powerful 7
Author: J. Andy Welch
Publisher: Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.
ISBN: 1641913010
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 210
Book Description
George begins to understand that his experiences involving the number Seven are not coincidental. One morning, he shares with Carol, his wife, that nightly, he wakes up in the early hours of morning, and the clock reads 2:32 a.m. "I lay there awake until I pray for the Lord to help me get some rest, and then I almost immediately go back to sleep. Why is this happening? Why do I wake up at the same time every night? Something very strange is going on here for certain." And it came to him that two plus three plus two equals Seven. "Why is that becoming so significant to me?" he asks. He turns to the Bible for references on Seven and realizes the number Seven is in the Bible hundreds of times. "For six days God created the heavens and earth, and rested on the Seventh day. Seven is the sign of completion, of success. God sanctified that number, and it became sacred. God had His six-day plan laid out and followed His plan to success, the Seventh day." Many life-changing events turned to success and became reality as George prayed and leaned on the number Seven. The community became aware of his ministry, and he was asked to speak before audiences. He began helping and guiding others to eliminate addiction, financial woes, marital confrontations, weight loss, and other problems in their lives, all empowering Seven. There is a time of suspense, a time for laughter, and a time for the eyes to swell with tears in this reading.

BOOKER PRIZE WINNER • NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A novel that follows a middle-aged man as he contends with a past he never much thought about—until his closest childhood friends return with a vengeance: one of them from the grave, another maddeningly present. A novel so compelling that it begs to be read in a single setting, The Sense of an Ending has the psychological and emotional depth and sophistication of Henry James at his best, and is a stunning achievement in Julian Barnes's oeuvre. Tony Webster thought he left his past behind as he built a life for himself, and his career has provided him with a secure retirement and an amicable relationship with his ex-wife and daughter, who now has a family of her own. But when he is presented with a mysterious legacy, he is forced to revise his estimation of his own nature and place in the world.

Houses for a New World
Author: Barbara Miller Lane
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 0691246424
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
The fascinating history of the twentieth century's most successful experiment in mass housing While the work of Frank Lloyd Wright, Richard Neutra, and their contemporaries frequently influences our ideas about house design at the midcentury, most Americans during this period lived in homes built by little-known builders who also served as developers of the communities. Often dismissed as "little boxes, made of ticky-tacky," the tract houses of America's postwar suburbs represent the twentieth century’s most successful experiment in mass housing. Houses for a New World is the first comprehensive history of this uniquely American form of domestic architecture and urbanism. Between 1945 and 1965, more than thirteen million houses—most of them in new ranch and split-level styles—were constructed on large expanses of land outside city centers, providing homes for the country’s rapidly expanding population. Focusing on twelve developments in the suburbs of Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, and Los Angeles, Barbara Miller Lane tells the story of the collaborations between builders and buyers, showing how both wanted houses and communities that espoused a modern way of life—informal, democratic, multiethnic, and devoted to improving the lives of their children. The resulting houses differed dramatically from both the European International Style and older forms of American domestic architecture. Based on a decade of original research, and accompanied by hundreds of historical images, plans, and maps, this book presents an entirely new interpretation of the American suburb. The result is a fascinating history of houses and developments that continue to shape how tens of millions of Americans live. Featured housing developments in Houses for a New World: Boston area: Governor Francis Farms (Warwick, RI) Wethersfield (Natick, MA) Brookfield (Brockton, MA) Chicago area: Greenview Estates (Arlington Heights, IL) Elk Grove Village Rolling Meadows Weathersfield at Schaumburg Los Angeles and Orange County area: Cinderella Homes (Anaheim, CA) Panorama City (Los Angeles) Rossmoor (Los Alamitos, CA) Philadelphia area: Lawrence Park (Broomall, PA) Rose Tree Woods (Broomall, PA)
