The Book and the Blade (Arthur Crazy #1)
by A. B. FinlaysonA perfect story for fans of Gaiman and Pratchett’s GOOD OMENS, SHAUN OF THE DEAD and THE WORLD’S END. Arthur Crazy is drunk and seeing ghosts. This is not a metaphor. The dead are walking and talking, and it doesn't matter that Arthur doesn't believe in them. They believe in him. Too drunk to recall how he stumbled upon his nascent power, Arthur is burdened with newfound responsibility: he’s the only one who can hear the unfinished business of every dead guy in York, and he’s the only one who can help. As forgotten legends and lost demons stir all over the cobbled streets and snickelways, Arthur finds himself at the centre of an unfolding mystery—a light in the desert, a fart at a funeral—and he is about to discover that an unfortunate surname isn't the only thing that makes him stand out. Arthur just wants to sober up, have a kebab, and go home, but his conscience is knocking loud and clear, demanding he open the damn door. He may not be the hero the dead need, but he’s the one they’re stuck with. Besides, one of those ghosts seems kind of cute.
The Sword and the Hounds (Arthur Crazy #2)
by A. B. FinlaysonFor lovers of Gaiman and Pratchett’s GOOD OMENS, SHAUN OF THE DEAD and THE WORLD’S END comes the exciting sequel to THE BOOK AND THE BLADE. Arthur Crazy was drunk and seeing ghosts. Now he’s just drunk. The dead are silent, and Arthur is worried he might be living up to the family name. But after going back to where the Crazy people live and spending months sleeping off hangovers in his childhood bed, it’s finally time to return to the land of the living. Unfortunately, the dead are not done with Arthur. The hounds are stirring. The guardians are moving. The Shadowmen are watching. And the sword in Arthur’s possession is calling them all. They’re on their way, but you know what Britain is like—public transport is a joke. Especially at Christmas, it could take some time. Some people have skeletons in their closet. Arthur has ghosts in his dreams and a sword under his bed… and everyone wants it! The dead, the living, and those dancing on the edge. Evil stirs in Yorkshire. Britain needs a hero. Arthur needs a coffee. On the moors, the devil rises. The Arthur Crazy Series is best enjoyed in this order: Book 1: The Book and the Blade Book 2: The Sword and the Hounds
The Golfer's Alphabet
by A. B. Frost W.G. Van Sutphen<P> The timeless humor contained in this book first published in 1898, and its concern with the ever-rising popularity of golfing prompted its current reprinting. The distinctive signature of A. B. Frost on a cartoon or painting is the cause of much excitement at today's art exhibits and more so when it makes a rare appearance at an auction. Original works of this well-known artist are scarce and first editions of the 89 books he illustrated during his brilliant career are fast becoming collectors' items. Frost's biggest contribution to the world in giving visual realization to characters in a book is his unforgettable drawings of Br'er Rabbit and Uncle Remus (Uncle Remus and his Friends by Joel Chandler Harris). He has also illustrated the works of such notable authors as Charles Dickens (The Pickwick Papers), Mark Twain (Tom Sawyer Abroad, Tom Sawyer Detective and other Stories), former U . S . President Theodore Roosevelt (The Wilderness Hunter), and Lewis Carroll (Rhyme? And Reason?). <P> Works by Frost have also appeared in Harpers, Scribners, Colliers, Century, and Puck magazines. Frost showed a versatility with humor in words as well as in drawings by authoring several books. In addition, he was an accomplished painter, notably of hunting scenes. These lesser known though no less accomplished works were compiled in an 1895 Scribner portfolio, "Shooting Pictures," many of which still grace household calendars. Upon his death at 77, Frost was described as the "dean of our [American] illustrators." His obituary in the New York Evening Post in 1928 further eulogized, " Down through the ages, when he and we are gone, his genius will twinkle on in Huck and Tom and Ole Br'er Rabbit. What price monuments of stone?"

Then the attractive Taylor turns the tables and lures Daniel out from behind the safety of his camera, and as Daniel finds himself fighting off an attraction he can't deny, he realizes he's in danger of being caught. Will the camera expose truths about himself that he wants to keep hidden?

GayleAn Opposites Attract novelFresh from backwoods Minnesota, actuarial student Ben Dutoit is ecstatic to land a job with Sydney Sutherland Family Insurance, one of the few companies that offers life insurance to people in the high-risk category.

Rosso e Grigio (Gli opposti si attraggono #1)
by A. B. Gayle Fran MacciòUn libro della serie 'Gli opposti si attraggono'Appena arrivato dai boschi del Minnesota, lo studente di scienze attuariali Ben Dutoit è entusiasta di aver ottenuto uno stage alla Sydney Sutherland Family Insurance, una delle poche aziende a offrire assicurazioni sulla vita per le categorie ad alto rischio di salute. Il fatto che l'ufficio si trovi a Gay central, ovvero San Francisco, è solo la ciliegina sulla torta, una torta dai colori dell'arcobaleno. Ben ha solo tre obiettivi da raggiungere: essere se stesso senza mai nascondersi e partecipare orgogliosamente al Gay Pride della città, conoscere tanta gente interessante nei vari locali e, forse, se è fortunato, innamorarsi. Ma gli uomini che Ben incontra sono tutto il contrario di lui: galanti, sofisticati, sicuri e sexy. Al contrario di Ben, rozzo provinciale, loro appartengono a famiglie ricche e benestanti, nobili e conservatrici, e portano sulle spalle tutte le responsabilità che derivano dalle loro posizioni. Mentre Ben ancora si chiede se uno come lui potrà mai appartenere al loro mondo, inizia a scoprire i rischi di ciò che questo mondo sofisticato potrebbe comportare. L'economia globale è in crisi e il lavoro che tanto desiderava è sul filo del rasoio. Tutti i suoi sogni sono in pericolo, specialmente quello più grande: l'amore.

by A. B.

Le fait de travailler à San Francisco, creuset de la culture homosexuelle, constituait juste la cerise sur un gâteau aux couleurs de l'arc-en-ciel. Ben s'est fixé trois buts : affirmer et se montrer suffisamment fier de son homosexualité pour participer à la Gay Pride ; profiter dans les boîtes de nuit de la compagnie de ses semblables et, s'il avait de la chance, tomber amoureux. Mais les hommes que Ben rencontre sont tout ce qu'il n'est pas : charmants, sûrs d'eux, sophistiqués et sexy. Ils constituent l'élite de l'élite, tiennent une place importante dans la société, sont fortunés et endossent toutes les responsabilités qui vont de pair. Ben se demande si le Rouge et le Bleu peuvent se mélanger quand il découvre la vraie signification du mot 'risque'. L'économie mondiale vacille. Le travail sur lequel il comptait est remis en cause et tous les rêves qu'il avait faits sont menacés, et plus particulièrement celui concernant l'amour.

Statistical Mechanics: An Introductory Graduate Course (Graduate Texts in Physics)
by A. J. Berlinsky A. B. HarrisIn a comprehensive treatment of Statistical Mechanics from thermodynamics through the renormalization group, this book serves as the core text for a full-year graduate course in statistical mechanics at either the Masters or Ph.D. level. Each chapter contains numerous exercises, and several chapters treat special topics which can be used as the basis for student projects. The concept of scaling is introduced early and used extensively throughout the text. At the heart of the book is an extensive treatment of mean field theory, from the simplest decoupling approach, through the density matrix formalism, to self-consistent classical and quantum field theory as well as exact solutions on the Cayley tree. Proceeding beyond mean field theory, the book discusses exact mappings involving Potts models, percolation, self-avoiding walks and quenched randomness, connecting various athermal and thermal models. Computational methods such as series expansions and Monte Carlo simulations are discussed, along with exact solutions to the 1D quantum and 2D classical Ising models. The renormalization group formalism is developed, starting from real-space RG and proceeding through a detailed treatment of Wilson’s epsilon expansion. Finally the subject of Kosterlitz-Thouless systems is introduced from a historical perspective and then treated by methods due to Anderson, Kosterlitz, Thouless and Young. Altogether, this comprehensive, up-to-date, and engaging text offers an ideal package for advanced undergraduate or graduate courses or for use in self study.
