Warren is so hurt and angered by Sarah's suspicions that a rift is created. Joseph Warren watches over the large Revere household, but Sarah suspects that his interest in her attractive stepmother, Rachel, is more than friendly.

The story of cancer is a story of human ingenuity, resilience, and perseverance, but also of hubris, paternalism, and misperception. The result is an astonishingly lucid and eloquent chronicle of a disease humans have lived with and perished from for more than five thousand years. ![]() "The Emperor of All Maladies, "now a documentary from Ken Burns on PBS, is a magnificent, profoundly humane biography of cancer from its first documented appearances thousands of years ago through the epic battles in the twentieth century to cure, control, and conquer it to a radical new understanding of its essence." "Physician, researcher, and award-winning science writer, Siddhartha Mukherjee examines cancer with a cellular biologist s precision, a historian s perspective, and a biographer s passion. ![]() ![]() Please note: This product may be eligible for a free online copy via Bits and Mortar. ![]() Lovecraft story was written and illustrated by R.

Don DeLillo’s exact contemporaries, Robert Stone and Thomas Pynchon, seem poised for a fuller expansion. The novelists are climbing out of the bunker. But now the condition that caused the great discontinuity in American letters has come to an end. They went underground, they sought an underworld of codes and shadows: incognito, incommunicado, and quietly dissident, their literary reputations largely cult-borne. Inasmuch as the mainstream was an institution, these writers could not work within it. The next wave of genius was there, but not visibly, not publicly. Was this an epochal change, a major extinction? No. ![]() Furthermore, it seemed that their numbers were not being replenished by writers of comparable centrality. Among its other virtues, the title of Don DeLillo’s heavily brilliant new book gives a convenient answer to the Big Question about the American novel: Where has the mainstream been hiding? The grand old men, the universal voices of the late-middle century (predominantly the great Jews, and John Updike), are getting older and grander, but the land they preside over looked to be shrinking. ![]() ![]() ![]() From the pillaging rats to the gluttonous council members, every pen and brush stroke brings Browning's moral home. ![]() The pages have bold, imaginative drawings, deep lines, rich colors and fine (often idiosyncratic) details. The dramatic events that Browning recorded in 1842 marvelously unfold in the Craiks' illustrations. Robert Browning's poem captures the mysterious nature of the Piper legend and the resplendent, rich time period in which the tale took place, which has inspired many great illustrators such as Kate Greenaway, Arthur Rackham, Margaret Tarant, and Maxfield Parrish. BlazeVOX presents for the first time this wonderful edition, originally created in 1959 as a gift by the illustrators to their young son. This facsimile of Robert Browning's THE PIED PIPER OF HAMELIN: A CHILD'S STORY is beautifully illustrated and colored by T. ![]() ![]() ![]() Various magical settings like a menagerie surrounded by deadly quickbramble serve as proper backdrop for capacious bestiaries that can describe any person or thing in existence. This fast-paced, character-gallery book remains anchored by Sophie's passion for reading and family.
