"A well-illustrated overview of the science and (literal) impact of these space rocks." -- Science News, on the first edition 
 Leading experts in the field provide a compelling introduction to the space rocks that enter Earth's atmosphere at speeds ranging from 25,000 mph to 160,000 mph. Scientists estimate that about 48.5 tons of meteoritic material falls on the Earth each day. These messengers from space give us a unique insight into the nature of the material that was present when our solar system formed. 
 Many of the specimen meteorites in this second edition were re-photographed to improve quality, and the optical microscopy shots were updated. There is also much new information on discoveries and developments in the study of meteorites, including: 
<ul>
<li> Meteorite falls and craters, and new information on ones previously covered</li> <li> Use of weather radar to detect and analyze meteorites, such as the 28,000 mph January 18, 2018, Michigan "fireball"</li> <li> How astrophysicists determine if a meteorite comes from Mars, and information about the Martian meteorites found to date</li> <li> Updated information on the results of the European Space Agency's Rosetta Mission in which a controlled impact was successfully completed into Comet 67P after investigating it with a probe for more than two years. </li>
</ul>

Use the symbology of the elements to help understand your life. How the Tarot began is not known.

An extraordinary deck of full-color cards, it revitalizes centuries of mystical ideas and generations of symbolic designs. No matter how you choose to use it, may its beauty and meaning serve to heighten your own awareness of life and its possibilities.

The Oracle of the Radiant Sun is a unique divinatory system that harnesses the power of astrology to provide in-depth readings. Using a deck of 84 full-color cards, the system describes the meaning of the sun and the six fastest-moving planets on their journey through the twelve houses and the twelve astrological signs. Each card is evocatively illustrated, and falls into one of seven suits, depicting first the Sun, then the Sun plus the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter or Saturn in each of the twelve zodiac signs. Accompanied by an illustrated book that helps users understand each card's imagery, the deck allows for a wide range of depth of interpretation, accommodating both beginners and experienced readers.

The Oracle of the Radiant Sun

The mystery of the runes is as much a part of Celtic mythology as the passing of the seasons and the rhythm of the natural year. What's more, the relationship of the Sun, the Moon and the Earth, and the turning of the year, inspired the first divinatory systems used by people of ancient times. The highly distinctive Runic Tarot includes a major arcana of 24 runes in a zodiac wheel with traditional Norse significance. This is coupled with a minor arcana of four suits, each reflecting a season. The Runic Tarot will connect you with the seasonal imagery of the northern tribes, and will enrich and guide your life.

Winner! 2005 Samuel French Canadian Playwrights Contest Isobel Lomax and Dolly Biddle are two "mature" cable-access cooking show hostesses who have hated each other for 30 years, ever since Larry Biddle dated one and married the other. When circumstances put them together on a TV show called The Kitchen Witches, the insults are flung harder than the food! Dolly's long-suffering TV-producer son Stephen tries to keep them on track, but as long as Dolly's dressing room is one inch closer to the set than Isobel's, it's a losing battle, and the show becomes a rating smash as Dolly and Isobel top both Martha Stewart and Jerry Springer!
