Gottlieb and Ralph Leighton to provide students, teachers, and enthusiasts alike an opportunity to learn physics from some of its greatest teachers, the creators of The Feynman Lectures on Physics.
An “engaging . . . entertaining journey,” Landing explores the pleasures and sorrows of long-distance love in the digital age (The New York Times Book Review). Síle is a stylish citizen of the new Dublin, a veteran flight attendant who’s traveled the world. Jude is a twenty-five-year-old archivist, stubbornly attached to Ireland, Ontario, the tiny town in which she was born and raised. When Jude meets Síle on her first transatlantic plane trip, the spark between them is instant. After a coffee shared at Heathrow Airport, both women return to their lives—but neither can forget their encounter. Over the next year, Jude and Síle connect through emails, phone calls, letters, and the occasional visit. But no matter how passionate, every long-distance relationship comes to a crossroads, because you can’t have a happily ever after when the one you love is a world apart . . . “[Donoghue] explores with a light, sure touch the subject of desire across distances of various kinds: generational, cultural, even spiritual.” —The New York Times Book Review “[A] charming tale.” —Kirkus Reviews
Can a girl from Queens find happily ever after with an honest-to-goodness Greek god? When Angie's big fat Greek wedding goes bust, her grandmother sends her on a trip to Greece with the instruction to set sail on a mysterious fishing boat. Waiting for her at the dock is Milos, who's charming and handsome and confesses he&'s been crushing on her for years, even though he's never met her. He also tells her he's a descendant of the original Gods of Olympus, who are plotting their return to power. Before she can say "Oh my God," Angie is flying a winged horse alongside Milos and finding love in his arms. But there's one little hitch: Milos's elders are forcing him to marry the malevolent goddess Electra. If Angie is to have any hope of hanging onto Milos, she'll have to go toe-to-toe with Zeus, whose recipe for world domination doesn't call for a sassy girl from the outer boroughs. Praise: "This is a great story with mystery and a whole lot of fun. It's also highly informative and entertaining if you're looking for your very own Greek God. (Aren't we all?) 5-Stars!"—Suspense Magazine

From the bestselling author of Headlong and Spies, "an unconditional triumph" (The Washington Post Book World) For fifteen years, ever since the taciturn civil servant Summerchild fell to his death from a window in the Admiralty, there have been rumors. So Brian Jessel, a young member of the Cabinet Office, is diverted from his routine work and asked to prepare an internal report. Slowly, from the archives in the Cabinet Office Registry, Jessel begins to reconstruct Summerchild's last months. It begins to emerge that, at a time when America had just put men on the moon, the British were involved in an even bolder project, and that Summerchild was investigating a phenomenon as common as sunlight, but as powerful and dangerous as any of the forces that modern science has known. The secret world into which Brian Jessel stumbles turns out to be even more extraordinary than his department had feared.
