Book Description
Imagine a secret science experiment. Very secret. Very sciency. Should be perfectly safe, right? Right? Now, imagine a ghoul school in crisis. It's just like your school, only a bit more ghoulish. Well, a lot more ghoulish, but it still has students and teachers, like any proper school. It has a proper name, too: St. Squirmings' Ghoul School. And there's a crisis going on. And finally, imagine a headless monk. With a cold, so there's a lot of sniffing and snot involved. Combine the three, and think about what could possibly go wrong. Think about EVERYTHING that could go wrong. Or, better yet, dare to read Snot Monster, and find out for yourself! Enter the St. Squirmings' Ghoul School, meet some new (and ghoulish, and perhaps snotty) schoolmates, read about the horrid goings-on going on... And face the terrible Snot Monster! Jump aboard this wild, wacky, and a bit tacky tale from the keyboard of kid's stand-up comic, Ian Billings, and join a grotty adventure full of fun, frolics, and a huge amount of snot! Giggles are guaranteed while reading this story for 6 to 11 year olds! Come on in - you know you want to, and you know it's snot to be sniffed at!

Book Description
From Act I: "I think you left these behind," I said, handing them to her. This happens all the time when women try to return bags they've used. Tampons, lipstick, coins, Tic Tacs, and condoms are the top treasures found. "Greasy" let out a sigh as if I were the problem. "I really don't see what the problem is here. It's none of your business what I keep in my handbag." It is when my commission is at stake! I'm not your Designer Handbag Rental Service! My name is not BagBorrowOrSteal.com! This is a place Freeman Hall, a twenty-year veteran "on the floor," knows well. While delivering side-splitting stories alongside brutally cynical commentary, Freeman recounts his most shocking experiences in Retail Hell. From the time he was attacked by a customer's four-year-old, who grabbed onto his leg like a poodle and wouldn't let go, to the day he found the fitting room walls covered in s**t, Freeman has seen and heard (smelled and felt) it all! Horrifying and hilarious, this behind-the-scenes look at what really goes on at the Big Fancy Stores is rollicking, ready-to-wear wisdom for readers everywhere.

Book Description
In a quite possibly not-so distant future, the universe is wreathed in utter chaos. An intergalactic tyrant by the name of King Brainiac, seeking the ultimate power contained within the mythical Gem of the Universe, attacks and destroys the peaceful planet, Stupin, home to the Stupinians, a people who are really, REALLY stupid. In a ginormous twist of fate, however, a young Stupinian and his dog escape from the destruction with the Gem in tow. Landing on the planet Earth, these new heroes, Stuper Man and Stuper Dog, dedicate themselves to defending the Gem from Brainiac and his evil forces. Little do they realize that there is much more to the story than they know: a sinister conspiracy, an ancient bloodline, and a dark power so fearsome that it could engulf the entire universe and still have enough room for dessert. The Dumbbell Duo may not have much of it, but through their trials they prove that knowledge has been, is, and will always be the most powerful weapon that you can wield. The fate of the universe is in his hands...feel pity for the universe.

Book Description
Shotguns have a long, rich history in the United States. They were used by both Union and Confederate cavalrymen during the Civil War, and helped defend the Alamo during the Mexican-American War.

Today, shotguns are used by target sports enthusiasts, law enforcement, and armed forces. Discover the fascinating history of the shotgun in this wide-ranging new book. Shotguns explores the exciting history and development of the shotgun with engaging text and more than 200 full-color photographs of guns, including iconic models by Winchester.

Learn about key innovations, including double-barrels, interchangeable chokes, and subguage inserts. Learn about different shotgun mechanisms, including breech-loading, double-barrel, pump-action, bolt-action, semi-automatic, and fully automatic weapons.

Book Description
The New York Times bestselling author of the acclaimed Malazan Book of the Fallen series, continues his hilarious science fiction series--parodying and paying homage to exploring the final frontier--with Willful Child: The Search for Spark. These are the adventures of the starship A.S.F. Willful Child. Its ongoing mission: to seek out strange new worlds on which to plant the Terran flag, to subjugate and if necessary obliterate new life-forms. We join the not terribly bright but exceedingly cocksure Captain Hadrian Sawback and his motley crew on board the Starship Willful Child for a series of devil-may-care, near-calamitous and downright chaotic adventures through the infinite vastness of interstellar space. Steven Erikson has taken his lifelong passion for Star Trek and transformed it into a smart, inventive, and hugely entertaining spoof on the whole overblown mankind-exploring-space-for-the-good-of-all-species-but-trashing-stuff-with-a-lot-of-high-tech-gadgets-along-the-way adventure. The result is a novel that deftly parodies the genre while also paying fond homage to it.

Book Description
Physics with a Buffy the Vampire Slayer pop-culture chaser In the tradition of the bestselling The Physics of Star Trek, acclaimed science writer Jennifer Ouellette explains fundamental concepts in the physical sciences through examples culled from the hit TV shows Buffy the Vampire Slayer and its spin-off, Angel. The weird and wonderful world of the Buffyverse—where the melding of magic and science is an everyday occurrence—provides a fantastical jumping-off point for looking at complex theories of biology, chemistry, and theoretical physics. From surreal vampires, demons, and interdimensional portals to energy conservation, black holes, and string theory, The Physics of the Buffyverse is serious (and palatable) science for the rest of us.
