Beneath the Chipvole Mountains

Beneath the Chipvole Mountains Review

Something strange and awful is happening beneath the Chipvole Mountains, but Muriel the mouse knows nothing about it when she tells her children they’re moving back. Lenny, Vera, and Perry are excited and stunned; their mother rarely talks about their old life in the Chipvoles, in the happy days before their father was killed in a mysterious cave explosion. And so they set out from their cozy nest in the corner of a cluttered tool shed with little idea what adventures, narrow escapes, odd travel companions, and surprising discoveries await them. At first Muriel is suspicious of Byron, an easygoing but ever watchful dog who shares a harrowing train ride with them. The mice children, however, have no such qualms about Uncle Byron. The travelers soon discover they're being watched. Byron nabs the spy: a trembling fox who claims he was sent by the cruel King Cecil. Muriel's happy journey turns into a nightmare when Lenny and Byron are lost. In the end, Lenny learns something about bravery, Muriel about trusting and hoping, and the secret of the Chipvoles is finally revealed. "Beneath the Chipvole Mountains" offers adventure, mystery, and humor to middle grade fantasy readers.

For the Marcelli sisters of California wine country, the season is ripe for romance!

THE SPARKLING ONE

A party planner extraordinaire, Katie Marcelli loves her big, boisterous family -- even when their chronic matchmaking drives her crazy! In the Marcelli household, fine wine and good food are as celebrated as true love, so when her eighteen-year-old sister announces her engagement, Katie promises her the perfect wedding. There's only one hitch: the father of the groom, Zach Stryker, who is adamantly opposed to his son marrying so young. Now, despite her instant attraction to the handsome, arrogant attorney, Katie must approach with caution: Zach, who hired Katie for a major fundraiser, holds the fate of her business in his hands -- and how can she trust a man who is willing to break her sister's heart? It will take a passionate battle of wills to determine if wedding bells will ring for a Marcelli bride, and to unlock the deepest desires -- for family, love, and home -- inside a strong-willed man's heart.

Big House, Little House, Back House, Barn: The Connected Farm Buildings of New England

Big House, Little House, Back House, Barn: The Connected Farm Buildings of New England Review

"Big house, little house, back house, barn"--this rhythmic cadence was sung by nineteenth-century children as they played. It also portrays the four essential components of the farms where many of them lived. The stately and beautiful connected farm buildings made by nineteenth-century New Englanders stand today as a living expression of a rural culture, offering insights into the people who made them and their agricultural way of life.

A visual delight as well as an engaging tribute to our nineteenth-century forebears, this book has become one of the standard works on regional farmsteads in America.

The Chrysler Building: Creating a New York Icon Day by Day

The Chrysler Building: Creating a New York Icon Day by Day Review

The Chrysler Building is surely the jewel in the crown of New York City's skyline. Completed in 1930, the 77-story Art Deco skyscraper--the tallest in the world at the time it was finished--quickly became the symbol of big city glamour, excitement, and style. Its cloud-piercing spire and gleaming, steel-clad ornament depicting gargoyles, hubcaps, and the winged helmets of Mercury came to represent the thrill of the Machine Age at its most exuberant.

But, until now, this magnificent building has also been one of the least documented and studied, a simple result of the fact that there were no known archives relating to its design or construction. This material was lost in the decades following its completion, or so everyone believed, until author David Stravitz discovered a box of negatives on the floor of a defunct stock photo company, just days before they were to be shipped off for silver reclamation. The never-before-seen photographs, reproduced as sumptuous duotones in this oversize book, illustrate the day-by-day construction of this American icon.

The photographs were taken by professional photo companies hired to document the construction of the building. In so doing, they also captured the day-to-day life taking place on the streets and in the environs of the Chrysler Building in exquisite detail.

This book beautifully illustrates the history of one of the most important buildings in New York as it emerged from street level to spire.

Hired by a wealthy real estate developer to protect his interest in a valuable piece of property, Danny discovers that even the past can't stay buried for long in the rich soil of the bayou country.

Second in a hot and naughty trilogy from the author of Nauti Boy.

Angela Knight says, "When I'm in the mood for steamy romance, I read Lora Leigh." So do readers who devoured the author's first novel in the Mackay Cousins trilogy, Nauti Boy. Now, in Nauti Nights, Leigh delivers an even hotter tale of a Kentucky marine who'll anything to get the woman he wants. Luckily for him, she wants it bad.

James "Dawg" Mackay has lusted after sweet Crista for years. Just as many as she's spent running from him-and from a dangerous attraction. But for Crista, running isn't an option anymore because Dawg's got a plan to get her and keep her. It's kind of low-down-but completely hot.

Cliff May and the Modern Ranch House

Cliff May and the Modern Ranch House Review

Cliff May’s modern homes epitomize the indoor-outdoor lifestyle characteristic of the American Dream, fusing the open plan/open living philosophy with the traditional ranch house. Starting in the 1930s, the modern ranch house took the country by storm, migrating from California to Arizona, and Cliff May was the chief proponent of this style. His long, low designs managed to be both modern and traditional, celebrating a casually elegant, indoor-outdoor lifestyle, and drawing inspiration from California’s Spanish Mexican ranchos while embracing the latest technological gadgetry. With their low profile, large carports and garages, patios, and expansive horizontality, May’s modern ranch houses became synonymous with the nascent California lifestyle and were enthusiastically promoted by the popular Sunset magazine throughout the U.S. He personally designed and built more than 1,000 homes and commercial buildings, and over 18,000 designs are attributed to his office, including the Robert Mondavi Winery and the offices of Sunset.Complete with new color photography, Cliff May and the Modern Ranch House celebrates the best of May’s work, from his start building homes during the Depression to how he evolved a brand of regional modernity that fulfilled the public’s desire for informal living in the 1950s and 1960s.
