"[Greene develops one fresh new insight after another...In the great tradition of physicists writing for the masses, The Elegant Universe sets a standard that will be hard to beat." --George Johnson, The New York Times Book Review

In a rare blend of scientific insight and writing as elegant as the theories it explains, Brian Greene, one of the world's leading string theorists, peels away the layers of mystery surrounding string theory to reveal a universe that consists of 11 dimensions where the fabric of space tears and repairs itself, and all matter-from the smallest quarks to the most gargantuan supernovas-is generated by the vibrations of microscopically tiny loops of energy.

Green uses everything from an amusement park ride to ants on a garden hose to illustrate the beautiful yet bizarre realities that modern physics is unveiling.    Dazzling in its brilliance, unprecedented in its ability to both illuminate and entertain, The Elegant Universe is a tour de force of science writing-a delightful, lucid voyage through modern physics that brings us closer than ever to understanding how the universe works.

Every day we open our newspapers, turn on the television and radio or log on to the internet and we are assailed with tales of malefeasance and misdemeanour. Some are instantly forgettable while others remain in the memory due to their sheer horrific, gruesome, memorable crimes ever committed. It features serial killers, cannibals, rapists, robbers, burglars, muggers, forgers, pirates, gangsters, cop killers, kidnappers and plain old murderers. It show's man's (and woman's) inhumanity to man, his ingenuity when it comes to thinking up ever more devious crimes and also his stupidity when he gets caught.

The bestselling author shows you how to protect your money and put thousands back in your pocket every year by taking on the "corporate machines" who are taking you to the cleaners.

In Fight For Your Money, David Bach, our favourite financial guru and consumer advocate, has written the ultimate guide to making smarter financial decisions and protecting yourself from companies who want to separate you from your hard-earned paycheque. Corporations earn billions annually from our financial ignorance. The time has come to fight back!

Starting with an A to Z list of items where you are paying too much - your cell phone, cable bill, cars, credit cards, insurance, airfare, hotels and many more - Bach shows how you are being taken. Then the "Fight for Your Money Toolkit" shows you how to fight back, with sample letters, call scripts, and real-life stories of ordinary people who have fought back and won.

As David Bach says, "When you are being taken financially, you work harder than you have to, for longer than you need to. When you fight for your money, you keep more of your hard earned paycheque and you spend your life doing what you really want to do."

Those who carry the truth sometimes bear a terrible weight...

It is 1940. France has fallen. Bombs are dropping on London. And President Roosevelt is promising he won''t send our boys to fight in "foreign wars."

But American radio gal Frankie Bard, the first woman to report from the Blitz in London, wants nothing more than to bring the war home. Frankie''s radio dispatches crackle across the Atlantic ocean, imploring listeners to pay attention--as the Nazis bomb London nightly, and Jewish refugees stream across Europe. Frankie is convinced that if she can just get the right story, it will wake Americans to action and they will join the fight.

Meanwhile, in Franklin, Massachusetts, a small town on Cape Cod, Iris James hears Frankie''s broadcasts and knows that it is only a matter of time before the war arrives on Franklin''s shores. In charge of the town''s mail, Iris believes that her job is to deliver and keep people''s secrets, passing along the news that letters carry. And one secret she keeps are her feelings for Harry Vale, the town mechanic, who inspects the ocean daily, searching in vain for German U-boats he is certain will come. Two single people in midlife, Iris and Harry long ago gave up hope of ever being in love, yet they find themselves unexpectedly drawn toward each other.

Listening to Frankie as well are Will and Emma Fitch, the town''s doctor and his new wife, both trying to escape a fragile childhood and forge a brighter future. When Will follow''s Frankie''s siren call into the war, Emma''s worst fears are realized. Promising to return in six months, Will goes to London to offer his help, and the lives of the three women entwine.

Alternating between an America still cocooned in its inability to grasp the danger at hand and a Europe being torn apart by war, The Postmistress gives us two women who find themselves unable to deliver the news, and a third woman desperately waiting for news yet afraid to hear it.

Sarah Blake''s The Postmistress shows how we bear the fact that war goes on around us while ordinary lives continue. Filled with stunning parallels to today, it is a remarkable novel.
