Inside this book bursts a kaleidoscope of characters in historical settings from the Balkans to Scandinavia, which they seek to escape, fit in, or change. Following a few female leads after they leave war-torn Bosnia, this book compresses simmering emotions ranging from loss, fear, love, hate, revenge, displacement, regret, humor, and hope. Almasa, the main character in most stories, is feisty and funny, and she suffers no fools. She will go to any length to take charge of her broken life and avoid being labeled a victim. Fatima is like her subtler sister, but no less determined to turn the tables on her horrible fate. In between them are pieces of the author's life, as fictionalized as the lives of the two women are real. Each story, although compact and unique on its own, is tied to all other stories, chronologically, emotionally, or thematically. Together they probe the margins of our contemporary history and give voice to people pushed to the edge of life.

In Edinburgh, Drew Stalker studies law, determined never to return to the grinding poverty of his childhood. Mirrin, the most restless and vital of them all, takes to the road and begins her journey, from tinker's camp to hiring fair, to a glittering future on the music-hall stage. And the Stalkers who remain in Blacklaw join a violent and bloody riot when the mine-owner Houston Lamont pushes them, at last, too far. The Stalker Trilogy: 'Family ties, family strengths and weaknesses, ambition, greed loyalty and love ...the story is compelling.' Daily Telegraph 'I would strongly recommend it to anyone with a taste for family sagas.' Scotsman

Thackeray's Vanity Fair had already been filmed by the BBC in 1987, when in the costume drama boom which followed the success of Andrew Davis' adaptation of Pride and Prejudice (1995), the Corporation commissioned him to write this new version. It is a tale of driving social ambition against a background of the Napoleonic wars, with Natasha Little, also to be seen in The Clandestine Marriage (1999), making a purposeful Becky Sharp. Virtual newcomer Frances Grey is the more appealing Amelia Sedley, while Nathaniel Parker, here Far From The Madding Crowd (1998), is the foolish Rawdon Crawley. The difficulty in adapting Thackeray--he also wrote the novel on which Kubrick's appropriately cold Barry Lyndon (1974) was based --is that he created unsympathetic characters for the purpose of satirising, "greedy, pompous men". Unlikable heroines do not make for popular television, and the danger is that we come close to empathising with arch-manipulator Becky Sharp. Nevertheless, there is still acid in this version, which stays close to the letter, if not always the spirit of the original. Add to that a decidedly sarcastic music score by Murray Gold, and if Vanity Fair isn't the absolute best of BBC drama, it certainly has a nasty bite. --Gary S. Dalkin

His father killed by the British and his home burned, young Tatton Chantry left Ireland to make his fortune and regain the land that was rightfully his.

It is in this darkest time, when everything seems lost, that Chantry encounters a remarkable opportunity. . . .

In each cup of coffee we drink the major issues of the twenty-first century n globalization, immigration, womenis rights, pollution, indigenous rights, and self-determination n are played out in villages and remote areas around the world. In Javatrekker: Dispatches from the World of Fair Trade Coffee, a unique hybrid of Fair Trade business, adventure travel, and cultural anthropology, author Dean Cycon brings readers face-to-face with the real people who make our morning coffee ritual possible. Second only to oil in terms of its value, the coffee trade is complex with several levels of middlemen removing the 28 million growers in fifty distant countries far from you and your morning cup. And, according to Cycon, 99 percent of the people involved in the coffee economy have never been to a coffee village. They let advertising and images from the major coffee companies create their worldview. Cycon changes that in this compelling book, taking the reader on a tour of ten countries in nine chapters through his passionate eye and unique perspective. Cycon, who is himself an amalgam n equal parts entrepreneur, activist, and mischievous explorer n has travelled extensively throughout the worldis tropical coffeelands, and shows readers places and people that few if any outsiders have ever seen

Key Selling Points- New York Times best-selling author John Ringo is the hottest writer to hit military science fiction since David Weber. In just a few years, his reputation--and sales--have skyrocketed.- Each novel in the Posleen War series has massively outsold the one before, with the third, When the Devil Dances, reaching the New York Times best-seller list. Look for Hell's Faire to continue the trend and take all the national best-seller lists by storm. Booklist called A Hymn Before Battle practically impossible not to read in one sitting." Many readers have overwhelmingly seconded the motion for that novel and the sequels.- The first novel in this series A Hymn Before Battle has an 88% sellthrough in the October 2001 mass market edition. Gust Front the second novel in the series has an 86% sellthrough in hardcover while the mass market edition released in April 2002 currently has a sellthrough in the high 80's.- Ringo has collaborated with David Weber on the topselling Prince Roger series (March Upcountry March to the Sea and March to the Stars so far) and has become a familiar name to Weber's huge audience. He also is a frequent commentator on Fox News and writes Op-Ed columns for the New York Post.- Ringo had visited 23 countries by the time he graduated high school and later served in the 82nd Airborne. His experience with other countries and cultures comes into play in creating believable extra-terrestrial civilizations and societies and his years in the military give both his descriptions of military men and women and the strategy and battle scenes in his novels a three-dimensional reality that few other writers can match."
