Hardback. Condition: Good. Lauren Child teams up with a debut illustrator to tell a cautionary tale about the surprising perils of craving constant attention. Meet the Shrimpton family -- so talented, so eccentric, so larger than life, you couldn't miss them if you wanted to. Mrs. Shrimpton wears flamboyant hats, and Mr. Shrimpton's moustache makes quite a statement. The youngsters each have a stand-out quality: beauty, dancing, singing, a sense of humor that's a laugh a minute. Indeed, the Shrimptons live to be noticed -- all that is, except Maude, who prefers to blend into the wallpaper. But when Maude receives a ferocious tiger for her birthday instead of the goldfish she asked for, might her talent for blending in come in handy? With stylized artwork evoking both Vogue magazine and Edward Gorey, here is a story to bring a smile to all the quiet stars among us. Krauss, Trisha (illustrator).…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Bestselling author and acclaimed physicist Lawrence Krauss offers a paradigm-shifting view of how everything that exists came to be in the first place.Where did the universe come from? What was there before it? What will the future bring? And finally, why is there something rather than nothing?One of the few prominent scientists today to have crossed the chasm between science and popular culture, Krauss describes the staggeringly beautiful experimental observations and mind-bending new theories that demonstrate not only can something arise from nothing, something will always arise from nothing. With a new preface about the significance of the discovery of the Higgs particle, A Universe from Nothing uses Krauss's characteristic wry humor and wonderfully clear explanations to take us back to the beginning of the beginning, presenting the most recent evidence for how our universe evolved--and the implications for how it's going to end. Provocative, challenging, and delightfully readable, this is a game-changing look at the most basic underpinning of existence and a powerful antidote to outmoded philosophical, religious, and scientific thinking.…
