An unusual and original work of fantasy from the acclaimed author of Tea with
the Black Dragon. A contemporary man, John Thornburn (a meek, non-violent and
unpredictable artist) and woman, Derval (his tough, confrontational, strong
and warrior-like lover) time travel to ancient Ireland to avenge a Viking
attack. Packed with fascinating details of historical time and place in Irish
history and delicately balanced on the border between realism and fantasy, the
story centers around one of the most famous and beautiful illuminated
manuscripts in history, the legendary but entirely real Book of Kells. Celtic
history blends with magical fantasy for a strange and immersive tale of
adventure.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/665984.Learning_Java">GoodReads Summary</a>:
Version 5.0 of the Java 2 Standard Edition SDK is the most important upgrade
since Java first appeared a decade ago. With Java 5.0, you'll not only find
substantial changes in the platform, but to the language itself-something that
developers of Java took five years to complete. The main goal of Java 5.0 is
to make it easier for you to develop safe, powerful code, but none of these
improvements makes Java any easier to learn, even if you've programmed with
Java for years. And that means our bestselling hands-on tutorial takes on even
greater significance.&quot;Learning Java&quot; is the most widely sought introduction to
the programming language that's changed the way we think about computing. Our
updated third edition takes an objective, no-nonsense approach to the new
features in Java 5.0, some of which are drastically different from the way
things were done in any previous versions. The most essential change is the
addition of &quot;generics,&quot; a feature that allows developers to write, test, and
deploy code once, and then reuse the code again and again for different data
types. The beauty of generics is that more problems will be caught during
development, and &quot;Learning Java&quot; will show you exactly how it's done.Java 5.0
also adds more than 1,000 new classes to the Java library. That means 1,000
new things you can do without having to program it in yourself. That's a huge
change. With our book's practical examples, you'll come up to speed quickly on
this and other new features such as loops and threads. The new edition also
includes an introduction to Eclipse, the open source IDE that is growing in
popularity. &quot;Learning Java,&quot; 3rd Edition addresses all of the important uses
of Java, such as web applications, servlets, and XML that are increasingly
driving enterprise applications.</p>

In the Beginning: Science Faces God in the Book of Genesis. The beginning of
time. The origin of life. In our Western civilization, there are two
influential accounts of beginnings. One is the biblical account, compiled more
than two thousand years ago by Judean writers who based much of their thinking
on the Babylonian astronomical lore of the day. The other is the account of
modern science, which, in the last century, has slowly built up a coherent
picture of how it all began. Both represent the best thinking of their times,
and in this line-by-line annotation of the first eleven chapters of Genesis,
Isaac Asimov carefully and evenhandedly compares the two accounts, pointing
out where they are similar and where they are different.</p>
