*Soon to be a TV series* Jimmy Fallon's Book Club Top Four Pick and a PBS Book Club Pick For fans of Kazuo Ishiguro and Emily St. John Mandel, this "mind-bending take on time travel" (The New York Times) is about an isolated town neighbored by its own past and future, and a young girl who spots two elderly visitors from across the border: the grieving parents of the boy she loves. Sixteen-year-old Odile vies for a coveted seat on the Conseil. If she earns the position, she'll decide who may cross her town's heavily guarded borders. To the east, the town is twenty years ahead in time. To the west, it's twenty years behind. The towns repeat in an endless sequence across the wilderness. When Odile recognizes two visitors she wasn't supposed to see, she realizes that the parents of her friend Edme have been escorted across the border from the future, on a mourning tour, to view their son while he's still alive in Odile's present. Edme--who is brilliant, funny, and the only person to truly know Odile--is going to die. Sworn to secrecy to preserve the timeline, Odile now becomes the Conseil's top candidate. Yet she finds herself drawing closer to the doomed boy, jeopardizing her entire future. The Other Valley is "thought-provoking exploration of ethics, power, love, and time travel" (Kirkus Reviews).

Agaves of Continental North America

Agaves of Continental North America

Howard Scott Gentry

University of Arizona Press
2004
nidottu
This is an indispensable guide to agaves. The uses of agaves are as many as the arts of man have found it convenient to devise. At least two races of man have invaded Agaveland during the last ten to fifteen thousand years, where, with the help of agaves, they contrived several successive civilizations. The region of greatest use development is Mesoamerica. Here the great genetic diversity in a genus rich in use potential came into the hands of several peoples who developed the main agricultural center of the Americas. Perhaps, as the Aztec legends suggest, it was the animals that first showed man the edibility of agave. Evolution in use ranges all the way from the coincidental and spurious, through tool and food-drink subsistence with mystical overlay, to the practical specialties of modem industry and art. The historic period of agave will be outlined here as briefly as that complicated development will allow.

The Gangster's Butler

The Gangster's Butler

Howard Scott Williams

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2017
nidottu
In a time before cable news and the Internet, people got their news from bold, tough-as-nails journalists. These brave souls would go to extraordinary lengths to get the truth to the public, often putting their lives at risk for a scoop. The Gangster's Butler is a memoir from a bona fide newspaperman, Howard Scott Williams. From 1948 to 1976, he covered some of the most incredible stories in Los Angeles and beyond. His subjects included Elizabeth Taylor, Marilyn Monroe, Robert F. Kennedy's assassin, and notorious gangster Mickey Cohen, for whom Williams posed as a butler in a particularly complex and fascinating story. Williams's stories are so amazing that you might not believe them if you read them in a newspaper, which may be why many of the details were never printed-until now. However, every story is true and presented with the dignity and sobriety befitting an honorable newspaperman. Whether you work in journalism, are interested in juicy stories of old Los Angeles, or just enjoy a good read, you'll find plenty to love in this insider's look at journalism during an extraordinary time in American history.

Imaginary friends make great companions--if they don't try to kill you... Katherine Jameson is going insane. The rooms in her husband's Newport Beach mansion spontaneously rearrange, her son appears to be teleporting between them, and a meteorite landed on the beach outside. And then there's the part where a voice in her head is calling out in desperation, calling her to come to some undisclosed location for rescue. Katherine's husband William seems to be slowly poisoning her, and he is left with nothing to do but follow the voice in hopes of her own salvation as well. Billy Reltin is having difficulties too. At sixteen years old he finds himself at the helm of a massive supercollider and is terrified by the results of his experiments. It appears that reality is not what it is cracked up to be... ...and all the a while a spectral woman waits, waits for the key to unleash her preternatural fury that is bound in her five year-old son-and if she and William have their way the very foundations of what we think of as real and what is imaginary will be inverted.

Against the Wind

Is an artist born, or rather, created by experience? From the moment in childhood when he is forced to take drastic action to defend his adoptive mother from a violent assault -- the only maternal figure that he has ever known -- it is evident that the life of Joseph Sully-Jacques is to be no ordinary life, and one marked by sorrow and adversity. Unable to cope with or even recognize the residual effects of his trauma in adolescence, Joseph retreats into an increasingly abstract world, one in which he must confront what he calls his "visions." And when he hears of the death of his natural mother, this brings to the surface memories he had hoped were buried deep within him, and precipitates the form of various crises to come, particularly as he discovers and makes use of the artistic abilities revealed to his family during his psychiatric evaluation. After many more hardships, the young man does find meaning to the absurdities of life, ironically in the asylum, where he meets a virtuoso pianist whose condition prevents her from continuing to exercise her talents. They heal together through their mutual love, which will soon subsist upon nothing but memory and absence.During mournful years of raising his son alone, in his extensive adversaria, Joseph sets out to reconcile the contradictory themes in his life, including abandonment, madness, love, and death. In spare, lucid prose, and in a style reminiscent of Andre Gide, Madeleine Gagnon invites the reader to experience the creation and development of an artist "in his own words" -- Joseph's gelid journal entries that are to become emphatic poetic laments -- in a novel that chronicles the extreme destitution of Quebec in the years before World War Two and in abstract developing forms of artistic expression after years of uncertainty and loss.
