Condizione: Fair. A predator on the prowl: A self-proclaimed recovered child molester is the subject of Dana Saunders's controversial talk show, Back Talk. Though Dana deftly handles the tangled debate over the possibility of real reform, by the end of the taping she's certain her guest, whose identity is concealed by a disguise, is a very dangerous man. And perhaps a personal threat, as a staffer's slip creates a breach in the wall of anonymity Dana has built to protect her adolescent daughter, Becky, a gifted violinist. A child in danger: A rapist is operating in the area, preying on girls not yet in their teens. Firefighter Lennie Finn finds herself involved in the case when she comes to the aid of a distraught young victim, Kitty Dolan. Getting in deeper than she knows is wise, Lennie fights to put Kitty's life back together--and to confront the painful secret she's kept hidden for years: the attack that shattered her own childhood, and the emotional scars she still bears. A life in the balance: Both women will risk everything to track down a human monster. But as they take each step in the direction of danger, the stakes keep rising. For the attacks are growing more violent, and coming closer together. And the rapist is nearing Dana's posh New York home . . . and twelve-year-old Becky.…

Condizione: Very Good. Returning from her late shift as a barmaid at a casino in Lake Tahoe, Misty Patterson struck her violently jealous husband in self-defense. She admits that--but did she kill him? She says she can't remember. Like so many times before, Misty blacked out and the rest of the evening is a blank. Now her husband has disappeared, leaving behind a trail of blood, and she's the number-one murder suspect with no one to turn to for help. San Francisco attorney Nina Reilly is also on the run--from a bad marriage and a worse career setback. Relocated to Lake Tahoe, Nina is resolved to recover her spirit, give her young son a secure home, and build up a small solo practice. But, when Misty Patterson walks in the door, a blond Barbie doll of a cocktail waitress accused of murder, it triggers a harrowing series of events that will change both women's lives forever. Common sense says Misty is lying. To win this case Nina will have to trust her own instincts, diving headlong into the dark convolutions of the human mind. This murder case--teeming with sinister secrets, unspoken betrayals, and jolting revelations--is going to change everything Nina Reilly believes about the law.

We buy herbal shampoos that contain industrial chemicals that can threaten our health or contaminate the environment. We dive down to see coral reefs, not realizing that an ingredient in our sunscreen feeds a virus that kills the reef. We wear organic cotton t-shirts, but don't know that its dyes may put factory workers at risk for leukemia. In Ecological Intelligence, Daniel Goleman reveals why so many of the products that are labeled green are a mirage, and illuminates our wild inconsistencies in response to the ecological crisis. Drawing on cutting-edge research, Goleman explains why we as shoppers are in the dark over the hidden impacts of the goods and services we make and consume, victims of a blackout of information about the detrimental effects of producing, shipping, packaging, distributing, and discarding the goods we buy. But the balance of power is about to shift from seller to buyer, as a new generation of technologies informs us of the ecological facts about products at the point of purchase. This radical transparency will enable consumers to make smarter purchasing decisions, and will drive companies to rethink and reform their businesses, ushering in, Goleman claims, a new age of competitive advantage.…

Condizione: Good. He would sell his warrior soul to possess her. . . . An alluring laird. He was known throughout the kingdom as Hawk, legendary predator of the battlefield and the boudoir. No woman could refuse his touch, but no woman ever stirred his heart-until a vengeful fairy tumbled Adrienne de Simone out of modern-day Seattle and into medieval Scotland. Captive in a century not her own, entirely too bold, too outspoken, she was an irresistible challenge to the sixteenth-century rogue. Coerced into a marriage with Hawk, Adrienne vowed to keep him at arm's length-but his sweet seduction played havoc with her resolve. A prisoner in time. She had a perfect "no" on her perfect lips for the notorious laird, but Hawk swore she would whisper his name with desire, begging for the passion he longed to ignite within her. Not even the barriers of time and space would keep him from winning her love. Despite her uncertainty about following the promptings of her own passionate heart, Adrienne's reservations were no match for Hawk's determination to keep her by his side. . . .…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Men are right. The "relationship talk" does not help. Dr. Patricia Love's and Dr. Steven Stosny's How to Improve Your Marriage Without Talking About It reveals the stunning truth about marital happiness: * Love is not about better communication. It's about connection. * You'll never get a closer relationship with your man by talking to him like you talk to one of your girlfriends. * Male emotions are like women's sexuality: you can't be too direct too quickly. * There are four ways to connect with a man:touch, activity, sex, routines. * Men want closer marriages just as much as women do,but not if they have to act like a woman. * Talking makes women move closer; it makes men move away. * The secret of the silent male is this: his wife supplies the meaning in his life. * The stunning truth about love is that talking doesn't help. Drs. Patricia Love and Steven Stosny have studied this all-too-familiar dynamic between men and women and have reached a truly shocking conclusion. Even with the best of intentions, talking about your relationship doesn't bring you together, and it will eventually drive you apart. The reason for this is that underneath most couples' fights, there is a biological difference at work. A woman's vulnerability to fear and anxiety makes her draw closer, while a man's subtle sensitivity to shame makes him pull away in response. This is why so many married couples fall into the archetypal roles of nagging wife/stonewalling husband, and why improving a marriage can't happen through words. How to Improve Your Marriage Without Talking About It teaches couples how to get closer in ways that don't require "trying to turn a man into a woman." Rich in stories of couples who have turned their marriages around, and full of practical advice about the behaviors that make and break marriages, this essential guide will help couples find love beyond words. …
