Andyet, despite all those handicaps, he's determined to go to trial. Jaywalker has spent his entire career bending the rules, but he's always had something towork with. This time all he has is a “yesbut” defense: “Did you kill him?” “Yes, but…” Inorder to win he'll have to stretch the law to the breaking point and beyond, but even thatmay not be enough.

The Vibrations of Words
Author: Ettore Grillo
Publisher: Strategic Book Publishing & Rights Agency
ISBN: 194948324X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 252
Book Description
This autobiographical novel offers a journey through music, theater, gibberish, meditation, Judaism, esotericism, and rare religious practices. It tells how the vibrations of words can influence body and mind. As an old man tells his memoirs to his nephew, a university student, he expresses how his travels to India and Israel shaped his thinking. The theme of vibrations starts with the rattling of windowpanes in the old man’s house when his truck was running. Later, the uncle hears how the strings of musical instruments can vibrate, even though untouched. In India, the uncle discovers that vibrations of music and mantras have healing powers. In Israel, he learns the core of the vibrations of words: Positive and negative vibrations depend on the quality of words. Good words produce favorable situations and a happy life; bad and harmful words cause bad situations. The author’s previous books are Travels of the Mind, A Hidden Sicilian History, and The Vibrations of Words. This is the second edition of The Vibrations of Words. A Goodreads reviewer wrote of The Vibrations of Words: “The content of this book opened my mind to a new level. I don't quite remember how I stumbled upon this book, but I am forever grateful that I did, because it left me feeling differently in my heart, and with a different mindset. I would recommend this book to anyone that enjoys books on spirituality, religion, and self-development.”

Toads and Tessellations
Author: Sharon Morrisette
Publisher: Charlesbridge Publishing
ISBN: 1580893546
Category : Juvenile Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 36
Book Description
Enzo is the son of a great magician, however unlike his father, his spells create chaos instead of order. What really interests Enzo, more than books about magic, are books by and about the lives of famous physicists and astronomers like Galileo Galilei and Johannes Kepler. Enzo dreams not of becoming a magician, but a mathematician instead. When Tessel, the village shoemaker, is called upon to make twelve identical shoes out of only one piece of leather, Aida, the shoemaker’s sister, goes to Enzo’s father for some magic to help her brother. With Enzo’s father out of town at a magic convention, it’s up to Enzo to help Aida and Tessel out of their predicament. A spell snafu leads Enzo and Aida to a method of forming patterns without gaps or overlaps, and they discover that math, not magic, may be the answer to their problem. Sharon Morisette’s accessible text introduces readers to the concept of tessellations, while Philomena O’Neill’s illustrations offer a clear visual to what tiling is—children will enjoy finding the tessellations hidden throughout the images. Back matter includes a glossary and notes about tessellations, Galileo, and Kepler.
