A Dance on the Edge by Anne Avery - When interior designer Marlis Jones battles with architect Jack Martin over e-mail, they discover a love powerful enough to blow their circuits. My One by Dara Joy - When Lois Ed pleads with the cosmos to help her through her hard times, she never expects her cry to be answered—by a hunk of an alien with the wildest sense of passion she's ever experienced Heart Craving by Sandra Hill - Nicholas DiCello is desperate—his wife, Paula, plans to divorce him. So when a fortune-telling floozy in a flowered dress swears the only way to win back his wife's love is to discover her heart craving, he listens.

Tales from the ruins of Earth: visit the ruins of Meso-America, ancient Greece, Egypt, even legendary Atlantis. These stories are set in or about ruins of Earth. Ruins have fascinated us for centuries. The concept of ruins hearkens back to the Romantic movement of the early nineteenth century. Some ruins are safe to enter. Some present challenges. And others you shouldn't go near.

"Spiders are often underestimated as suitable behavioural models because of the general belief that due to their small brains, their behaviour is innate and mostly invariable. Challenging this assumption, this fascinating book shows that rather than having a limited behavioural repertoire, spiders show surprising cognitive abilities, changing their behaviour to suit their situational needs. The team of authors unravels the considerable intra-specific as well as intra-individual variability and plasticity in different behaviours ranging from foraging and web building to communication and courtship. An introductory chapter on spider biology, systematics and evolution provides the reader with the necessary background information to understand the discussed behaviours and helps to place them into an evolutionary context. Highlighting an under-explored area of behaviour, this book will provide new ideas for behavioural researchers and students unfamiliar with spiders as well as a valuable resource for those already working in this intriguing field."--Publisher's description.

" At a time of significant change in the precarious world of female individualization, this collection explores such phenomena by critically incorporating the parameters of popular media culture into the overarching paradigm of gender relations, economics and politics of everyday life. "--

The Second Edition also includes such important additions as convection with change of phase (condensation, boiling, and melting), cooling of electronic packages by forced and natural convection, lubrication by contact melting, and several examples of conjugate heat transfer. The new edition also includes an exposition of the latest analytical techniques and new heat transfer correlations; an expanded discussion of laminar and, especially, turbulent forced convection, as well as the latest applications of the buckling theory of turbulent flow. The Second Edition of Convection Heat Transfer is an essential reference for professionals and students interested in successfully meeting the newer challenges of the science today. This new edition balances traditionally rival corners of convection teaching and research, such as forced and natural convection, laminar and turbulent flows, fluids and fluid-saturated porous media, as well as theory and empiricism. Yet the new edition also focuses on the growing concerns in energy and ecology, with an emphasis on man's enhanced role in living equitably with nature. The book's unique topical breadth and arrangement, the first in a text on heat convection, reflect today's environmental realities.
