The Turtle Sisters of Cape Cod Pond

One drizzly morning in Santa Monica, California, a group of powerful individualists took to the air in a Piper Cherokee-6, and hop-scotched toward the Galapagos Islands. Somewhere, over uncharted jungle into which an airplane can disappear without a trace, an inch of gasoline is discovered sloshing about on the floor of the cabin. What do you do? If you are Gwen Moore, you pass out oyster crackers, wish everyone goodbye, cross your fingers, and close your eyes. Destination Galapagos describes this hi-octane heart-stopper, and many others like it. Ed Robison Author of The Fox and Other Stories

For nearly forty years, my dreams have been dominated by a large, earthy, gravelly-voiced rhinoceros. He may appear by himself or with his numerous friends: dung beetles, tigers, turtles, stars, and many others. Occasionally his friends come without him. He travels easily through the world. Sometimes he carries me on his back; sometimes we meet in a specified location. But wherever we traveled, I always felt there was a purpose to the trip and that I was missing the point. He seemed to be the trickster- the oracle who gives a technically correct but misleading answer to our most basic questions. I often thought he wanted me to view life as a whole, not with the limited eye of my rational self. Then he seemed symbolic of the onrushing flow of life. I finally realized he speaks for life-all life, not just human life, but for the lives of animals and plants, for the life of the earth itself. His message is that we must turn away from our arrogance and learn again to live with the rhinos, the crocodiles, with all the natural, instinctive forms of life- now, before they are all gone, leaving us alone, alienated and doomed to quick extinction. Gradually I began to understand that he wanted to reach a wider audience, to be published. This book is a partial fulfillment of that desire. - Pat Britt

When Madelyn Rivers, Curator of Reptiles at the San Pablo Zoo, becomes the prime suspect in the murder of her lover, her friends hurl themselves into the investigation. They soon discover that a number of people-friends, members of the zoo community, and the victim-are not quite what they seem. Set against the background of the zoo, The Serpent's Tooth is the chronicle of the mostly ludicrous, but occasionally surprisingly successful, efforts of a group of amateurs to investigate a savage murder.

For 15 years, two or three or sometimes even four times a year, during and after school, I did real theater with students between the ages of 10 and 18. In their words and mine, this is our story. How we learned, together, to make ourselves into a theater troupe. How we created the bonds of trust that made everything possible. How we made Shakespeare’s words come alive. How we sustained each other with processing circles and trust-building games. How we learned to believe in each other and ourselves, and looking back, what it meant to us in the end….This is a book about transformation, about how words written 400 years ago changed my life and the lives of my students.

Finally! Everything you ever wanted to know about making bras! From its humblest of beginnings as a square of cloth, to the engineered marvels of today, the bra has earned its place in history as both the most loved and the most hated garment. Why? Partly because ready to wear can't possibly address all the unique needs of each woman. What better way for those who enjoy precision sewing, than to make the most complex and intriguing garment in our wardrobe? You may even decide to launch an exciting new career as a custom bra-maker! In the Bra-makers Manual, you will learn to draft a pattern from a variety of sources available, and use that pattern as the foundation to create a virtual library of bra styles. No longer will you be restricted by the limitations of a pattern! You will learn how to choose and control the fabric, and do fittings like the professionals. You will learn to construct special needs bras, including nursing and mastectomy bras; and of course, the strapless bra. Duplicate all of the professional techniques with instructions written specifically for home sewing machines. The Bra-makers Manual was written as a textbook for the professional made-to-measure bra-maker, however those home sewers who are up for a bit of a challenge will also find this book to be a complete and understandable reference on bra design, draft, fit and construction. Even if you never sew a bra for anyone else, you will thoroughly enjoy making your own well-fitting and supportive bras. Now you can have all the fashionable fabrics and colours, in styles that rival ready-to-wear at a fraction of the cost. 235 pages of text and illustrations; with color photos of bras designed by the author and some of her bra-making students.

There's even a chapter on machine know-how and how to use the attachments peculiar to bra-making. 8 pages with full-colour photographs.
