Larry Young Book order

Brian Young's powerful debut novel tells of a seemingly ordinary Navajo boy who must save the life of a Water Monster--and comes to realize he's a hero at heart. When Nathan goes to visit his grandma, Nali, at her mobile summer home on the Navajo reservation, he knows he's in for a pretty uneventful summer, with no electricity or cell service. Still, he loves spending time with Nali and with his uncle Jet, though it's clear when Jet arrives that he brings his problems with him. One night, while lost in the nearby desert, Nathan finds someone extraordinary: a Holy Being from the Navajo Creation Story--a Water Monster--in need of help. Now Nathan must summon all his courage to save his new friend. With the help of other Navajo Holy Beings, Nathan is determined to save the Water Monster, and to support Uncle Jet in healing from his own pain. The Heartdrum imprint centers a wide range of intertribal voices, visions, and stories while welcoming all young readers, with an emphasis on the present and future of Indian Country and on the strength of young Native heroes.

A devastating read... For anyone wondering why swing-state America voted against the establishment in 2016, Mr. Alexander supplies plenty of answers. - The Wall Street Journal

How does love begin? How can two strangers come to the conclusion that it would not only be pleasant to share their lives, but that they must share them? How can a man say he loves his wife, yet still cheat on her? Why do others stay in relationships even after the ro­mance fades? How is it possible to fall in love with the "wrong" person? How do people come to have a "type"? Physical attraction, jealousy, infidelity, mother-infant bonding--all the behaviors that so often leave us befuddled--are now being teased out of the fog of mystery thanks to today's social neuroscience. Larry Young, one of the world's leading experts in the field, and journalist Brian Alexander explain how those findings apply to you. Drawing on real human stories and research from labs around the world, The Chemistry Between Us is a bold attempt to create a "grand unified theory" of love. -- Back cover

Described in the 19th century Ordnance Gazetteer of Scotland as a pleasant little place with 'a post office under Cumnock with money order and savings' bank departments gasworks three inns and a reading-room and library the tiny and attractive village of Ochiltree is tucked away in rural Ayrshire waiting to be discovered. Its sleepy atmosphere belies its lively past as a centre of Covenanting activity in the 17th century and the place where John Knox himself was married. This collection of photographs gives a flavour of life in the late 19th and early 20th century

Insights into the question of evil, the origin of humanity, the importance of attitude and true baptism are just a few of the topics discussed.

The sea-front town of Ayr is one of the most historically colourful in the region. Once a monastic seat and yet battle hardened by Cromwell's armies it was also the site of the first Scottish parliament held by Robert the Bruce. Remnants of its earlier history can be found throughout the town but in this volume the authors have focused on a comparison of the changes wrought over the last century and a half and the results make fascinating viewing. Always a favourite resort in Victorian times, somehow Ayr has managed to preserve some of that genteel air into our technologically advanced times.
