&ldquo;These delicate, companionable poems are like warm blankets on cold winter nights: they are haunted by the words &lsquo;gone,&rsquo; &lsquo;memory,&rsquo; &lsquo;silence,&rsquo; yet, at the same time, they celebrate the wondrous satisfactions of the living moment, however transient. Luttrell&rsquo;s poems are brief, spare, barely there, yet watch them come alive in meditation&rsquo;s lamplight.&rdquo; &mdash;Jack Foley Steve Luttrell&rsquo;s beautifully wrought poems fall on to the page and into the eye and ear with an absolute measure of a plumb line. Luttrell beckons the reader, who&rsquo;s always &ldquo;got to try hard,&rdquo; to pursue the subtly accomplished depth and breadth of this moving new collection.  &mdash;George Economou&ldquo;Steve Luttrell&rsquo;s Plumb Line traces, with verse, the moments that came, were spelled out, then departed, leaving a poem. I can recommend this book of love, leisure, travel, the seasons, the value of dogs, surrender to the seasons, and its pithy, wide-souled poesy.&rdquo; &mdash;Ed Sanders &#160; "These poems are exquisitely crafted.&#160;In their concision they celebrate what draws us most keenly to the art of poetry. This is&#160;a book to be read and treasured for its lyrical grace and commitment to deeply held emotions. Steve Luttrell tailors life down to essential and luminous moments that celebrate our humanity." &mdash;Neeli Cherkovski"Quiet plumb line precision here, as days and lives are measured against certainty, the sure and final end that awaits us all... "&mdash;James Koller  &ldquo;Steve Luttrell&rsquo;s new book, Plumb Line, is aptly named. The resonance of finding the depths in ordinary experience, foregrounding it so we see (and hear) is the art of a serious poet. Highly recommended.&rdquo; &mdash;David Gitin

Poignant but not treacly, CROUCHING TIGER deals with an immigrant child's conflicting emotions toward a grandparent from the old country...Nascimbene's delicate ink and watercolor illustrations are exquisite.&#8212;The New York TimesThe beauty Nascimbene discovers in Ming Da's suburban world-the leaves that fall  around Ming Da as he practices, parade-goers scattered like confetti, the stars  that accompany Ming Da and Grandpa on the way home-echoes the beauty Ming Da eventually finds in Grandpa's tai chi poses. Readers will warm to the duo's growing friendship and the gifts that come as Ming Da allows himself to enter Grandpa's world.&#8212;Publishers Weekly (starred review)

&ldquo;It's an intimate look at the man who first brought marine life into the living rooms of millions of Americans in the 1960s, and who fought tirelessly to open the eyes of the world to the oceans' dwindling natural resources.&rdquo; &ndash;Express &#160; &ldquo;Jean-Michel [Cousteau] has just published a new book, "My Father, the Captain," about both the public life and private side of his famous father.&rdquo; &ndash;PBS NewsHour

Visual perception is created through the interplay between the eye and  the brain. Optic art and optical illusions exploit the boundaries of  this interplay to produce confusing, amusing, or discordant results.  Visual artist Sarcone (Hidden Picture Puzzles) explains basic  types of optical illusions in this cookbook-style guide including: size  distortion; ambiguous figures; hidden or suggested figures within  &shy;camouflage; impossible figures; and suggested movement. Readers may use  the techniques introduced here to attempt optical illusions in any  medium they wish. Most of the illusions presented are geometric,  abstract, and black and white, though ambitious readers could try  incorporating color into their designs. VERDICT Commercial artists and designers can use this guide as a reference  book, but it will be delightful for anyone who has ever wondered how an  optical illusion works.- Library Journal

How to Draw Incredible Optical Illusions

"Terrifyingly authentic, shiveringly good."&mdash;Val McDermid&ldquo;I read this new novel with something bordering on awe. Nobody should be as damn talented as Stuart Neville. Collusion is a magnificent novel.&rdquo;&mdash;Ken Bruen&ldquo;Collusion is that rare beast: a second novel that not only lives up to the promise of the first, but actually exceeds it. Thankfully, it &#160;seems like Stuart Neville is going to be with us for a long time."&mdash;John Connolly&ldquo;The violence in Stuart Neville&rsquo;s novels about Northern Ireland is about as nasty as it gets in noir crime fiction.&rdquo;&mdash;The New York Times Book Review&ldquo;Riveting.... Neville's deft style builds mounting tension, and his characters, all tragic figures, are skillfully developed.... The violence, administered up close and personal&mdash;and the rage of those who commit it&mdash;is almost operatic. A feast for thriller fans."&mdash;Booklist, Starred Review &ldquo;Neville&rsquo;s sophomore effort is just as well written and just as violent as his debut, winner of the LA Times Book Prize for best crime fiction 2009. Neville creates sympathy for his characters in the midst of violence and betrayal and reveals Northern Ireland as a country still under the effects of decades of terror.&rdquo;&mdash;Library Journal, Starred Review&ldquo;Neville follows his stunning debut, The Ghosts of Belfast, with an even more powerful tale of revenge, violence, and redemption&hellip;. Neville rides the perfect Celtic storm in an action-packed, cerebral thriller with fully realized characters and an insider&rsquo;s view of the ever-shifting politics of Northern Ireland.&rdquo;&mdash;Publishers Weekly, Starred Review&ldquo;Brisk, addictive ... Collusion is a worthy successor to one of last year's best thrillers.&rdquo;&mdash;Guardian &ldquo;Neville's follow-up to his corpse-filled debut The Twelve is another mesmerizing Belfast blood bath ... the author's showdowns rival those in Jacobean revenge plays.&rdquo;&mdash;Sunday Times&ldquo;Stuart Neville has a lock on dread.... Full-bodied and credible.... The question Mr. Neville raises with singularly artful drama is whether survival is enough to keep one going. We'll see.&rdquo;&mdash;Pittsburgh Post-Gazette &#160; &ldquo;Graphic, gory, gritty&#160;and provocative,&#160; Collusion is&#160;a wild ride.... Collusion keeps readers on edge until the closing page.... A gripping novel, peppered with a bizarre collection of warped and twisted personalities.&rdquo;&mdash;Free-Lance Star &#160; &ldquo;Neville&rsquo;s way with tension is only matched by his skill at action scenes.&rdquo;&mdash;Spinetingler Magazine&ldquo;If you by chance have never read Stuart Neville&rsquo;s Belfast Trilogy, it&rsquo;s time to redeem yourself.&rdquo; &mdash;Grift Magazine &#160; &ldquo;Packed with historical and psychological detail.... [Neville] methodically builds suspense, moving his characters into position like chessboard pawns until they converge in a cataclysmic struggle.&rdquo;&mdash;Suspense Magazine

From the reviews of the second edition:“This is a largely self-contained and relatively far-reaching presentation of numerical fluid dynamics. It is aimed towards practitioners (meteorologists, physicists, engineers), providing … a presentation of more mathematical depth than is frequently encountered in such books.” (H. Muthsam, Monatshefte für Mathematik, Vol. 166 (1), April, 2012)“Durran’s direct and yet information-rich style makes this an excellent reference book. … This is a good book for postdocs and professors as well as students. … For an atmospheric modeler, this is probably the first book to buy. … book is a more direct path to algorithms for graduate students and researchers who already have some familiarity with atmospheric dynamics. … is worth a look by computational fluid dynamicists in other fields, especially those looking for ideas and insights outside their own particular specialties.” (SIAM Review, Vol. 54 (4), 2012)“This book is an introduction to numerical methods for fluid dynamics. … The text could be useful to graduate students and scientists working in various branches of applied mathematics and engineering, not only in geophysical fluids. The material is intelligible to readers with a general mathematical background. The book includes exercises and is well illustrated with figures linking theoretical analyses to actual computations.” (Titus Petrila, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1214, 2011)From the reviews:"...an excellent reference...should be brought to the attention of readers in meteorology, oceanography, physics, mechanics and engineering... an excellent text book...the extensiveness, theoretical and practical extent this book reaches make it a classical work." Acta Meteorologica Sinica"...The book's unquestionable advantage is the clarity and simplicity in presenting virtually all basic ideas and methods of numerical analysis currently actively used in geophysical fluid dynamics."
