Some sisters are good friends, some are not. Sometimes there is more hate in a family than there is love. Karin is beautiful and has lots of men friends, but she can be very unkind to her sister Marcia. Perhaps when they were small, there was love between them, but that was a long time ago. They say that everybody has one crime in them. Perhaps they only take an umbrella that does not belong to them. Perhaps they steal from a shop, perhaps they get angry and hit someone, perhaps they

This is a landmark in American literature, presented in its complete and unexpurgated version. Dreiser`s unsparing story of a country girl`s rise to riches as the mistress of a wealthy man marked the beginning of the naturalist movement in America. Both its subject matter and Dreiser`s objective, nonmoralizing approach made it highly controversial, and only a heavily edited version could be published in 1900. In this restored version, the truly revolutionary nature of Sister Carrie is made fully evident.

The girls from the Sisterhood return in the next film based on Ann Brashares` bestselling series, set for theatrical release by Warner Bros. Pictures on August 8. This tie-in includes "Forever in Blue" the final novel in the series, a full-color insert of movie stills, and favorite moments from the entire series.
"Sister Carrie" was first printed in 1900 but publication was effectively held up until 1912 because its realism and supposed immorality were judged likely to give offence. Theodore Dreiser intertwined his narrative of a young woman seduced by the lure of the modern city with the counter-narrative of a middle-aged man seduced by desire for Carrie herself. This eminently American story of rags to riches is balanced between Carrie Meeber`s rise to stardom in the theatre and George Hurstwood`s slow decline. The twin poles of exuberance and exhaustion in American life are captured as never before. The premier example of American naturalism, "Sister Carrie" has deeply influenced a number of writers, from William Faulkner and F. Scott...

M-U-R-D-E-R. It began as an innocent parlor game intended to while away the hours on a bitter winter night. But the message that appeared before the amateur occultists snowbound at the Sittaford House was spelled out as loud and clear as a scream. Of course, the notion that they had foretold doom was pure bunk. Wasn`t it? And the discovery of a corpse was pure coincidence. Wasn`t it? If they`re to discover the answer to this baffling murder, perhaps they should play again. But a journey into the spirit world could prove terribly dangerous - especially when the killer is lurking in this one.

Drawn from his celebrated and landmark text Lectures on Physics, Six Easy Pieces reveals Feynman`s distinctive style while introducing the essentials of physics to the general reader. The topics explored include atoms, the fundamentals of physics and its relation to other sciences, the theory of gravitation and quantum behaviour. `If one book was all that could be passed on to the next generation of scientists it would undoubtedly have to be Six Easy Pieces` - John Gribbin, New Scientist.

At the turn of the millennium, McDonalds faced a host of serious problems: a decline in food quality, branding issues, indifferent employees, shoddy service and a poor bottom line. The global brand consulting company Arcature LLC was brought in to develop a global brand direction, and Light (global chief marketing officer of McDonalds during those years)—with others—resuscitated the brand. Though the authors offer a few rushed suggestions for executives trying to recover their failing brands, or to avert the crisis in the first place, the book is essentially a hosanna to Lights corporate messianic abilities. The titular six rules—refocus the organization, restore brand relevance, reinvent the brand experience, reinforce a results...
