Mike & Bec By: Tom Vazzana Mike & Bec tells the captivating life story of Mike Pennello, as told through the eyes of Bec, a Soul whose only purpose is to accompany a person throughout their life, starting from his less-than-boring birth to his raucous theater days to his unexpected success as a director for a large amusement park company. Sitting in Mike’s hospital room, Bec, beginning to untether from him, reflects back on all the other people he has inhabited, and why Mike was one of his favorites. Both hysterical and quietly poignant, Mike & Bec is a sincere tribute to all the small, beautiful moments that form the tapestry of a person’s life.

When you’ve lost everything, what’s worth fighting for? Beneath the glittering stars of Pennsylvania’s Dark Skies, people are few and zombies fewer. Imogen’s faith in humanity—normally abundant—is shaken by the suspicion that a fellow survivor sabotaged their escape from the zoo, forcing her to leave her Iberian lynxes behind. Reeling from his failure to save his sisters and girlfriend, Mike does what he always has: step up. Protecting everyone is easier said than done, however. Some people care only about themselves, and fractured by in-fighting, factions are forming. As a threat beyond their isolated sanctuary closes in, the divided group must unite. If they can’t, the greatest danger they face might not be zombies but each other. If you like Jonathan Maberry, Mira Grant, Jake Bible, Mark Tufo, Samantha Hoffman, and MR Carey, you’ll devour this gritty adventure.

Carl Wieman's contributions have had a major impact on defining the field of atomic physics as it exists today. His ground-breaking research has included precision laser spectroscopy; using lasers and atoms to provide important table-top tests of theories of elementary particle physics; the development of techniques to cool and trap atoms using laser light, particularly in inventing much simpler, less expensive ways to do this; the understanding of how atoms interact with one another and light at ultracold temperatures; and the creation of the first Bose-Einstein condensation in a dilute gas, and the study of the properties of this condensate. In recent years, he has also turned his attention to physics education and new methods and research in that area. This indispensable volume presents his collected papers, with annotations from the author, tracing his fascinating research path and providing valuable insight about the significance of the works.

Brimming with honestly and passion, The Education of a WASP chronicles one white woman's discovery of racism in 1960s America. First published in 1970 and highly acclaimed by reviewers, Lois Stalvey's account is as timely now as it was then. Nearly twenty years later, with ugly racial incidents occurring on college campuses, in neighborhoods, and in workplaces everywhere, her account of personal encounters with racism remains deeply disturbing. Educators and general readers interested in the subtleties of racism will find the story poignant, revealing, and profoundly moving. “Delightful and horrible, a singular book.” —Choice “An extraordinarily honest and revealing book that poses the issue: loyalty to one’s ethnic group or loyalty to conscience.” —Publishers Weekly
