Aging pages with underlining in text, slight wave to bottom edge of first few pages. From Publishers Weekly\nThis collection of reflective essays reveals the many-sided life of a pioneering female Episcopal minister. Currently on staff at the Seaman's Church Institute in New York City, Crafton is a wife, mother and grandmother whose ministry has taken her to comfortable suburban and large urban parishes as well as to the waterfront. The essays, ""a string of people's moments,"" illuminate these phases of her life as Crafton ruminates on the human condition and the passage of time. In a book that ranges widely--from homelessness to a remarried parent--two especially compelling essays on dying stand out. ""To Be or Not to Be"" weighs the death with dignity/death with technology impasse, emphasizing the great desire for life. ""If I Should Die Before I Wake"" urges acceptance of the inevitable, which frees people to live in the moment. Expressing an ecumenical and gently feminist sensibility, Crafton touches on important human concerns with light grace and common sense. \nCopyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title., Penguin, 1-Jun-94, New York: Ace, 1994-06-01.

Description: THE GREAT BOOM IS COMING: How and where we work and live is about to change drastically. In The Roaring 2000s, Harry S. Dent, Jr., one of the world's most prescient forecasters, turns his visionary eye to the full spectrum of possibilities that will follow in the wake of a burgeoning turn-of-the-century economy. Dent identifies opportunities, explores trends, and makes concrete predictions. Among them are: A Dow that will reach at least 21,500 and possibly 35,000 by the year 2008. The rise of "gazelles," small- to medium-sized, high-growth companies that are now creating most of the jobs in the country. The Eight Critical Technology Trends Changing How We Live and Work.

DVD in excellent condition in original keep case with inserts; Former X-Files writer James Wong makes his sophomore feature as a director at the helm of this science fiction thriller that's reminiscent of Timecop (1994). In the near future, a technology called "quantum tunneling" allows human beings to travel between parallel universes. The abuse of this ability by criminal elements has led to the formation of the Multi-Verse Authorities or "MVA," an agency of quantum traveling cops who apprehend violators of inter-dimensional laws. The MVA faces its greatest crisis when a former agent named Gabriel Yulaw (Jet Li) goes renegade, traveling between one universe and the next, murdering his own parallel selves and gaining enormous power with each slaying. It is believed that when Yulaw has become "the one," the only version of himself to exist, he will be omnipotent, but the final Gabriel Yulaw exists in our plane of existence (the "magna universe") and is also becoming stronger, though he doesn't understand why. Hot on the evil Yulaw's trail are his former partner Harry Roedecker (Delroy Lindo) and Harry's new colleague Evan Funsch (Jason Statham). Created with Wong's longtime writing and producing partner Glen Morgan, The One (2001) co-stars Carla Gugino.

"It had been nearly five centuries since the starship Phoenix, lost in space and desperately searching for the nearest G5 star, had encountered the planet of the atevi. On this alien world, law was kept by the use of registered assassination, alliances were defined by individual loyalties not geographical borders, and war became inevitable once humans and one faction of atevi established a working relationshipo. It was a war that humans had no chance of winning on this planet so many light-years from home. Now, nearly 200 years after that conflict, humanity has traded its advanced technology for peace and an island refuge that no atevi will ever visit. Then the sole human the treaty allows into atevi society is marked for an assassin's bullet. The work of an isolated lunatic? . . . The interests of a particular faction? . . .

This book is potentially personally revolutionary and is imminently practicable, no less so than any manifesto that has had an impact on human development. "Inner work," of course, is the key, and this is exactly where I believe many may cringe and cry, "Impractical!" Who has the time and inclination to work on him or her self when modern social institutions and technologies fill our lives so effectively? Isn't it obvious that human advancement and improvement will be provided by science? I am not satisfied with this complacency and I know for a fact that there are many who are disillusioned with the modern worldview, yet not despairing. Many courageous spirits crave breakthrough, and feel that it is their birthright to achieve something more in their lives than what is currently available. Spiritual sustenance and a good life are not impractical, but necessary! This book provides some wonderful nourishment for the soul and states clearly just how a good life is possible for EVERYONE. It is abundantly clear from his presentation that Fox derives his ideas from a wide variety of sources, and that his ideas are founded on a spiritual tradition that is 2000 years old (along with some others that stretch even further back in time!) He is not a New Age pundit going his own way; but a man of deep faith and spiritual experience who has the gift to put into words what we already know in our hearts., Harper San Francisco, 1995, Harpercollins Publishers.

Even after Monks rushes the dying man inside and brings him back from the precipice of a heroin overdose - after the danger has, seemingly, passed - Monks senses that something more sinister is brewing. Just how sinister, he couldn't have guessed. First a phalanx of lawyers and doctors descends on the hospital and whisks the man away before Monks can find out more about the suspicious circumstances surrounding his arrival. Then a small fire breaks out in the hospital - an act of sabotage that results in the disappearance of the man's blood samples. But the real shock comes the next morning, when the newspapers report the mysterious disappearance of billionaire Lex Rittenour. Rittenour, a beloved computer wunderkind, has long been rumored to be developing a top-secret technology involving the human genome, the medical applications of which have the potential to place his name alongside those of Lister, Curie, and Salk. Now, just days before the unveiling of his breakthrough, Rittenour - whom Monks recognizes as the man he saved in the ER the night before - has, according to his corporate spokesmen, "gone into seclusion. What begins for Monks as an inquiry into Rittenour's disappearance unearths something far more diabolical - the horrific facts behind genetic research done in Rittenour's name - and pits him against a corporation of dubious ethics, ruthless commando-style tactics, and a multibillion-dollar motivation to protect its dark secrets.
