Category : Antiques & Collectibles
Languages : en
Pages : 548
Book Description
At forty-nine-years-old, it’s safe to say life didn’t turn out the way Lucinda Flowers hoped it would. Her husband ran off with her sister-in-law, and her grown children don’t come around much. When her sister, Sharon, calls with bad news, Lucinda boards a plane back to the one place she vowed to never return: home to Turtle Island. Jim Barnes is Lucinda’s long-lost high school boyfriend. She doesn’t know it yet, but he’s been secretly keeping in touch with her eccentric mother, Goldie, for decades. When his estranged wife goes missing in North Carolina, Jim returns to Turtle Island, hoping to dodge the web sleuths labeling him a wife-killer. The Pink Octopus, Lucinda’s family’s cottage rental business, is in trouble. If it sinks, not only will her mother, brother, and sister be out of jobs, but the entire family will be scattered to the high winds. Everyone pitches in to help save the business—including Jim—and while Lucinda isn’t amused by her mother’s matchmaking skills, she can’t deny that he looks better than ever. Still, she can’t fall in love with someone accused in his wife’s disappearance. Unless she never fell out of love with him to begin with. Can Lucinda and Jim figure out what happened to his ex-wife before he’s arrested on suspicion of murder? Can they save the business before it goes belly-up, separating the newly reunited family? For the first time in ages, Lucinda has a sense of purpose and a reason to believe in love, but will the rug soon be pulled out from under her?

The Quantum Dice
Author: L.I Ponomarev
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 9780750302517
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 266
Book Description
"Real black magic calculus" is how Albert Einstein described quantum mechanics in a letter in 1925. Quantum mechanics is now rather more widely understood by physicists, but still many "outsiders" are unaware of what quantum mechanics is, how it has changed the course of development of physics and how it affects their everyday lives. This book gives a fascinating account of the evolution of the ideas and concepts of quantum theory and modern physics, written by an "insider" but aimed specifically at the general science reader. Many anecdotes from famous past physicists give an insight into their work and personalities. The many illustrations are an important and attractive feature of the book. Leonid Ponomarev is a leading theoretical physicist. His deep understanding of the subject is allied with his wide knowledge of history, literature and philosophy to produce this history of the development of modern physics and its impact on our lives.

The Alchemy of Forever

Pages : 201
Book Description
People say 'love never dies'… but love might be the death of Seraphina. Seraphina has been alive since the Middle Ages, when her boyfriend, Cyrus, managed to perfect a method of alchemy that lets them swap bodies with any human being. She doesn't want to die, so she finds young people who are on the brink of death, and inhabits their bodies. When we meet Sera, she has landed in the body of a girl named Kailey who was about to die in a car accident. For the first time, Sera falls in love with the life of the person she's inhabiting. Sera also falls for the boy next door, Noah. And soon it's clear the feelings are returned. Unfortunately, she can never kiss Noah, because for her to touch lips with a human would mean the human's death. And she has even more to worry about: Cyrus is chasing her, and if she stays in one place for long, she puts herself -and the people she's grown to care for - in danger.
