Paperback. Condition: Good. Coach's Hue is a tale of mystery, heartbreak, adventure and heroism: a new and hybridized being is formulated from Mother Nature's perseverance to survive humanity. A natural mystic guides Coach throughout his journey as humanity continues to ignorantly ravage the Earth with no regard for the negative effects and byproducts it produces along the way. In order for Mother Nature to persist, she is forced to take matters into her own proverbial hands. Born of The Great Smoky Mountains, Coach possesses several nature-derived abilities that he enacts with the people who support him as catalysts in his unique life. Just like the good comes with the bad, cause has an effect, and yin always has a yang. Coach must ultimately release what he absorbs throughout his journey. Coach is perpetually guided by Mother Nature and his antics are charming for most of the people he encounters, but not everyone is swayed by such exuberance. As life continues to unfold for Coach, the environment is deteriorating due to human negligence. This story is very humane whilst proportionately mysterious, and it possesses significant parallels to humanity's current and collective relationship with its environment. Everything we do as a species has an impact on the environment we all live within. The human species is meant to coexist harmoniously with the Earth. Yet, somewhere along the way this principal was lost. Mother Nature must be cruel to be kind. Nowak, Veronica (illustrator).…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Engineered Irony, a 150th commemorative edition, revisits civil engineers Octave Chanute and George Morison's greatest achievement to 1869-the completion of the Hannibal Bridge-and their 1870 report, The Kansas City Bridge. Kansas City, Missouri, has enjoyed its Heart of America moniker for generations. The Hannibal & St. Joseph Railroad, after years of negotiations and political machinations, chose in 1867 to span their historic bridge-the first ever to cross the Missouri River-at Kansas City, then known as the City of Kansas and formerly the Town of Kansas. The Hannibal Bridge MADE Kansas City, Missouri Vol. 1 (blue front cover) is a reprint of Chanute and Morison's 1870 report on the construction of the bridge, together with a newly developed biography of Chanute by Bill Nicks, and an essay on the importance of the bridge to civil engineering by engineer Brian Snyder. Vol. 2 (red front cover) is the culmination of David W. Jackson's decade plus effort to compile this sesquicentennial souvenir highlighting archival resources identifying nearly 1,500 individual skilled laborers and contractors-including five who lost their lives in the venture-who achieved a modern miracle between 1867 and July 3, 1869. During that Independence Day weekend fete, 30,000 spectators from across the Midwest descended upon the fledgling City of Kansas to celebrate the remarkable moment on the Missouri Riverbank. Another feature of Engineered Irony is a comprehensive gallery of all the known images of the Kansas City Bridge (aka. the Hannibal Bridge) from 1867 to 1917, when the bridge was replaced by its descendant, the Second Hannibal Bridge.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. -- Do you use a mobile phone? -- Do you use credit cards or debit cards? If so, you need to know that a revolution has started that will impact you sooner than you think, and this book will tell you - the consumer - what you need to know now. The reality is that a torrent of advertising and promotional marketing is heading your way to try to convince you to use new services on your SmartPhone at retail stores. Perhaps you have already seen some, or signed up for some. These new services may seem novel, but this revolution is far more significant than that. At stake is the future of the credit card system that moves over $11 Trillion per year from consumers to retailers. Some of the largest companies in the world think this system should change, starting now. Other, equally large companies think everything should stay the same. These two sides are already lining up on a battlefield, with you standing in the middle. And, if you are not careful, the first casualty will be your privacy. Find out what is happening, how it may effect you, and what you can do about it. Read The SmartPhone Wallet - Understanding the Disruption Ahead. PRAISE FOR THE SMARTPHONE WALLET: David Schropfer's consumer-focused look at the emergence of mobile payments is unique and refreshing. At Morris Advisors, we believe the keys to the mobile commerce kingdom are not in the hands of banks or wireless carriers. Consumers and merchants are ultimately the most critical stakeholders. Mr. Schropfer clearly articulates for us the consumer value proposition for mobile payments. I particularly enjoyed his thought provoking description of how wireless carriers could potentially deliver enhanced value for consumers while bypassing some of the incumbent payments industry players. A great read. Andrew B. Morris CEO & Founder, Morris Advisors, Inc. Chair, Alternative Payments Committee, National Retail Federation's Mobile Retailing Initiative The SmartPhone Wallet was a great read. The writing style made it an easy read.

In other words, if you are like most of us then The SmartPhone Wallet is a book for you. The book will take you through the basics of payments, mobile networks, the intersection where they meet, and what this convergence can mean to you. A light yet substantive read, in the Scientific American style, will educate you enough so that you can draw your own conclusions and make your own decisions about the soon-to-be-offered products and services. Learn the history, the present, the trends; what is important and what is not. Know the risks, the costs, the business side and the technical side - enough to benefit you and help others to make the right decisions. -Mirek Kula Co-Founder and CEO, REC-ORDER, LLC Just as credit and debit cards have largely displaced cash and checks, mobile wallets will surely displace physical payment tenders.

In The Smartphone Wallet David Schropfer outlines the background and evolving shifts in technology, financial services, and consumer preferences that converge to provide the mobile wallet, the next generation of electronic payments.

Hardback. Condition: Very Good. Hear the Voices of Ancient Wisdom in the Modern Language of Science Ancient traditions, whose only claim to authenticity is that they are old, run the risk of becoming old-fashioned. But if an ancient tradition can claim to be not only ancient but also timeless and contemporary, it has a far greater chance of convincing each new, young generation of its value. Such a claim requires that each generation's retelling use the new metaphors of the new generation.--from Chapter 1In our era, we often feel that we can either speak about God or think scientifically about the world, but never both at the same time. But what if we reconciled the two? How could the basic scientific truths of how the natural world came to be shape our understanding of our own spiritual search for meaning?In this provocative fusion of religion and science, Rabbi David Nelson examines the great theories of modern physics to find new ways for contemporary people to express their spiritual beliefs and thoughts. Nelson explores cosmology, quantum mechanics, chaos theory, relativity and string theory in clear, non-technical terms and recasts the traditional views of our ancestors in language that can be understood in a world in which space flight, atom-smashing and black holes are common features of our metaphorical landscape.Judaism, Physics and God reframes Judaism so that it is in harmony with the conquests of modern scientific thinking, and introduces fascinating new ways to understand your relationship with God in context of some of the most exciting scientific ideas of the contemporary world.…

Paperback. Condition: Fair. Sixty years ago, the University of Chicago Press undertook a momentous project: a new translation of the Greek tragedies that would be the ultimate resource for teachers, students, and readers. They succeeded. Under the expert management of eminent classicists David Grene and Richmond Lattimore, those translations combined accuracy, poetic immediacy, and clarity of presentation to render the surviving masterpieces of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides in an English so lively and compelling that they remain the standard translations. Today, Chicago is taking pains to ensure that our Greek tragedies remain the leading English-language versions throughout the twenty-first century. In this highly anticipated third edition, Mark Griffith and Glenn W. Most have carefully updated the translations to bring them even closer to the ancient Greek while retaining the vibrancy for which our English versions are famous. This edition also includes brand-new translations of Euripides' "Medea", "The Children of Heracles", "Andromache", and "Iphigenia among the Taurians", fragments of lost plays by Aeschylus, and the surviving portion of Sophocles' satyr-drama "The Trackers". New introductions for each play offer essential information about its first production, plot, and reception in antiquity and beyond. In addition, each volume includes an introduction to the life and work of its tragedian, as well as notes addressing textual uncertainties and a glossary of names and places mentioned in the plays. In addition to the new content, the volumes have been reorganized both within and between volumes to reflect the most up-to-date scholarship on the order in which the plays were originally written. The result is a set of handsome paperbacks destined to introduce new generations of readers to these foundational works of Western drama, art, and life.…
