S.A. Bodeen's The Compound is a 2009 Bank Street - Best Children's Book of the Year. Eli and his family have lived in the Compound for six years. The world they knew is gone. Eli's father built the Compound to keep them safe. Now, they can't get out. He won't let them.

Eli and his family lived in an underground shelter they called the Compound for six years. They thought they were the only survivors of a nuclear attack, but when Eli learned that it was all a twisted experiment orchestrated by his tech-visionary father, he broke the family out. His father died trying to keep them imprisoned. Now, the family must readjust to life in the real world. Their ordeal has made them so famous, they must stay in hiding—everyone from fatalists preparing for doomsday to the tabloid media wants a piece of them. Even worse, their father's former adviser continues to control the company Eli and his twin brother are the heirs of. As Eli tries to determine who the family can trust, he learns the nightmare of the Compound—and his father's experiment—might not be over. The Fallout is S.A. Bodeen's highly anticipated, thrilling sequel that will keep readers on the edge of their seats.

When a tsunami sends a massive island made entirely of trash crashing into the Taiwanese coast, two very different people—an outcast from a mythical island and a woman on the verge of suicide—are united in ways they never could have imagined. Here is the English-language debut of a new and exciting award-winning voice from Taiwan, who has written an “astonishing” novel (The Independent) that is at once fantasy, reality, and dystopian environmental saga. Fifteen-year-old Atile’i—a native of Wayo Wayo, an island somewhere in the Pacific—has come of age. Following the custom of his people, he is set adrift as a sacrifice to the Sea God but, unlike those who have gone before him, Atile’i is determined to defy precedent and survive. His chances seem slim, but just as it appears that hope is lost, Atile’i comes across a sprawling trash vortex floating in the ocean and climbs onto it. Meanwhile, on the east coast of Taiwan, Alice, a college professor, is overcome with grief. Her husband and son are missing, having disappeared while hiking in the mountains near their home. Alice is so distraught that she decides to end her own life. But her plans are interrupted by a violent storm that causes the trash vortex to collide with the Taiwanese coast, bringing Atile’i along with it. Alice and Atile’i subsequently form an unlikely friendship that helps each of them come to terms with what they have lost. Together they set out to uncover the mystery of Alice’s lost family, following their footsteps into the mountains. Intertwined with Alice and Atile’i’s story are the lives of others affected by the tsunami, from environmentalists to Taiwan’s indigenous peoples—and, of course, the mysterious man with the compound eyes. A work of lyrical beauty that combines magical realism and environmental fable, The Man with the Compound Eyes is an incredible story about the bonds of family, the meaning of love, and the lasting effects of human destruction.

Any list of Japan's greatest screenplay writers would feature Shinobu Hashimoto at or near the top. This memoir, focusing on his collaborations with Akira Kurosawa, a gifted scenarist in his own right, offers indispensable insider account for fans and students of the director's oeuvre and invaluable insights into the unique process that is writing for the screen. The vast majority of Kurosawa works were filmed from screenplays that the director co-wrote with a stable of stellar writers, many of whom he discovered himself with his sharp eye for all things cinematic. Among these was Hashimoto, who caught the filmmaker's attention with a script that eventually turned into Rashomon. Thus joining Team Kurosawa the debutant immediately went on to play an integral part in developing and writing two of the grandmaster's most impressive achievements, Ikiru and Seven Samurai.

Small-town Texas sheriff Dan Rhodes is in for another puzzling mystery in this next in the entertaining, award-winning series Before classes start one morning, the body of English instructor Earl Wellington is found outside the building of the community college. Wellington was clearly involved in a struggle with someone and has died as a result. Sheriff Dan Rhodes pursues and arrests Ike Terrell, a student who was fleeing the campus. Ike's father is Able Terrell, a survivalist who has withdrawn from society and lives in a gated compound. He's not happy that his son has chosen to attend the college, and he's even less happy with the arrest. Rhodes discovers that Wellington and Ike had had a confrontation over a paper that Wellington insisted Ike plagiarized. Wellington also had had a confrontation with the dean and was generally disliked by the students. As the number of suspects increases, it's up to Rhodes to solve the murder while also dealing with an amusing but frustrating staff, a professor who wants to be a cop, and all the other normal occurrences that can wreak havoc in a small town. Bill Crider's Compound Murder is an enjoyable police procedural filled with surprises, chuckles, and a quirky cast that will captivate mystery readers.

Compound Remedies examines the equipment, books, and remedies of colonial Mexico City’s Herrera pharmacy—natural substances with known healing powers that formed part of the basis for modern-day healing traditions and home remedies in Mexico. Paula S. De Vos traces the evolution of the Galenic pharmaceutical tradition from its foundations in ancient Greece to the physician-philosophers of medieval Islamic empires and the Latin West and eventually through the Spanish Empire to Mexico, offering a global history of the transmission of these materials, knowledges, and techniques. Her detailed inventory of the Herrera pharmacy reveals the many layers of this tradition and how it developed over centuries, providing new perspectives and insight into the development of Western science and medicine: its varied origins, its engagement with and inclusion of multiple knowledge traditions, the ways in which these traditions moved and circulated in relation to imperialism, and its long-term continuities and dramatic transformations. De Vos ultimately reveals the great significance of pharmacy, and of artisanal pursuits more generally, as a cornerstone of ancient, medieval, and early modern epistemologies and philosophies of nature.

For an inside preview of using the pages of Compound Miter the bevel and miter answer book visit the Author's Website at; http://www.compound-miter.com/ Throughout my career as a master craftsman within the field of carpentry, I've seen time and time again craftsmen having some difficulties figuring out the bevel and miter saw settings to a compound miter cut. Basically each of these times the corner's angles were not at a common true ninety degree angle, and or the spring angle required was outside the 52°/38° and 45°/45° standard setting known for crown moldings. I took it upon myself to research all areas to see what was available for craftsman throughout this valuable time costing situation. (books, articles, tools, internet, etc.) Personally I've been mathematically blessed, inclined to use either written formulas or series of calculators to come up with the bevel and miter answers needed per cut. For those who wanted something else for all the cuts outside crown moldings, besides the formulas, I could not believe what was out there in the market place for that craftsman. The idea of Compound Miter the bevel and miter answer book started with my desire to place within the hands of any craftsman in the field of woodworking wanting all the answers needed to accomplish every compound miter cut. Based upon three hundred and sixty inside and outside corner angles in increments of one degree (the complete 360°), each of these corner angles are categorized within ninety spring angles also in increments of one degree. (the complete 90°) Taking into consideration every need for cutting compound miters the book is complete with all the answers. The basic formula throughout the book is inside corner or outside corner with spring angle equals the miter and bevel angle settings. (I.C. or O.C. w/ S.A = B.A and M.A.) Easy to read, chart formats throughout, the book places per each page an inside corner angle and the opposite outside corner angle within three hundred and sixty degrees. Then the page is broken into nine rows of three with ten columns per each row. Each of these columns contains a spring angles, with the answer to the bevel and miter saw settings below. The simplicity of this book is to look up the corner angle in degrees needed, search the numerical ordered columns to find the spring angle being used, and look at the bevel and miter saw settings below. All pages throughout Compound Miter the bevel and miter answer book have Quick Tabs for locating either inside or outside corners, fractions, and roof pitches by page flipping besides the table of content. Along with the answers to bevel and miter saw settings, the book also contains chapters to find any input value needed throughout using the formula also in easy to read formatted charts. That's all the answers to finding any corner angle or spring angle using the method of measuring. Continuing through the book there's material working charts for either a single bevel miter saw or a double bevel miter saw. Yet at the same time the book wasn't designed around a specific piece of equipment such as a compound miter saw, it is designed around any piece of equipment that would accomplish the bevel and miter angles to complete any compound miter cut. Each of the material working charts are in six easy steps from handling the material, setting the direction of the bevel and miter angles, to making the cut, and which piece to save. These material working charts are also divided into two categories, first category is cutting crown moldings, and the second category is cutting compound miters. The difference between the two categories is ability to identify the top or bottom of the material. If a craftsman needs to keep tract of the top or bottom, marking the edges of the material, (such as flat stock) the material is placed into the category cutting compound miters. When a compound miter saw is being used, instead of placing the top or bottom edge against the fen
