Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Heartwarming and hilarious, A Boy Called Combustion celebrates the adventures of childhood, the bonds of family and the joys of life in the 1940s South. Bill Keeton - nicknamed Combustion for reasons readers will immediately understand - grew up as part of the Fondren family, a clan large enough to give its name to a section of Jackson, Mississippi. Accidentally knocking down his grandparent's garage, helping neighbors paint their house and his uncle's car and denting his mother's brand new stove with his B gun, young Billy constantly surprised all who knew him. The boo's linked stories savor the vivid imagination behind a child's comic exploits, the wisdom gained in the aftermath, and the colorful family and friends who shared both the lessons and the fun. A Boy Called Combustion is a memoir deeply rooted in a particular time and place: the Mississippi of the 1940s, where folks never cook from prepared mixes and kids have a weekly date with the movie serials. Yet it is timeless American story of life, love, laughter, maturation, and the gifts of family strength.…

Paperback. Condition: Fair. Intensely personal and brilliantly scientific, Faith, Madness, and Spontaneous Human Combustion reveals the startling ways in which science--especially immunology and pathology--shapes our destinies, and how something as intimate as our own identities can be connected to the intricate workings of the machines known as our bodies.   "Each of the dozen essays in this far-ranging collection could be expanded into a book.Analogizing to striking effect, Callahan conveys both science and sympathy.

Hardback. Condition: Good. Internal Combustion is the compelling tale of corruption and manipulation that subjected the U.S. and the world to an oil addiction that could have been avoided, that was never necessary, and that could be ended not in ten years, not in five years, but today. Edwin Black, award-winning author of IBM and the Holocaust, has mined scores of corporate and governmental archives to assemble thousands of previously uncovered and long-forgotten documents and studies into this dramatic story. Black traces a continuum of rapacious energy cartels and special interests dating back nearly 5,000 years, from wood to coal to oil, and then to the bicycle and electric battery cartels of the 1890s, which created thousands of electric vehicles that plied American streets a century ago. But those noiseless and clean cars were scuttled by petroleum interests, despite the little-known efforts of Thomas Edison and Henry Ford to mass-produce electric cars powered by personal backyard energy stations. Black also documents how General Motors criminally conspired to undermine mass transit in dozens of cities and how Big Oil, Big Corn, and Big Coal have subverted synthetic fuels and other alternatives. He then brings the story full-circle to the present day oil crises, global warming and beyond. Black showcases overlooked compressed-gas, electric and hydrogen cars on the market today, as well as inexpensive all-function home energy units that could eliminate much oil usage. His eye-opening call for a Manhattan Project for immediate energy independence will help energize society to finally take action. …
