Rayon the dust bunny and a vacuum abhorred. An appliance fiction novel Everybody's house has secret inhabitants. Just like yours, this one has dust bunnies. And they're in trouble. When Rayon the bright blue dust bunny detaches from a young lad's winter hat, his arrival in the squalor on the bedroom floor doesn't go unnoticed. He's been seen and Knickers, another dust bunny made mostly of underwear fibres has been sent to get him out of sight. Knicker's been sent by the dust bunnies under the bed, the Biddies, to get that very obvious blue dust bunny out of sight before someone feels compelled to get a vacuum cleaner out and inhale all of them up. But Knickers is too late. Rayon's lurid blueness catches the eye of The Mum. She orders her son to tidy up and the central vacuum system is unleashed from its lair. It sucks up dust bunnies mercilessly, even plucking apart the dust bunny called Pure thread by thread. Just before she's disentangled completely, Pure's last words are that Yarn, Yarn can help them all. After swallowing Pure, the ailing vacuum cleaner chokes and whines to a stop and the repairman is summoned. Rayon, Knickers and their companions, Stour and Twill use this opportunity to find Yarn - and to warn the other dust bunny tribes around the house about the impending clean up that will be unleashed after the repairman comes in a couple of days. After making their way to the basement, the laundry drier exhaust carries Rayon, Knickers, Twill, Ouse and now a clutch of simple-minded drier lint called the fuzzballs, up to the attic where they find the densely woven Yarn, the oldest dust bunny in the house. Yarn though tells them to do nothing; entropy is on their side. Dust, Yarn assures them, will prevail. But entropy won't stop the repairman coming so Rayon, Knickers, Stour, Twill and a clutch of fluffy-brained fuzzballs have only forty eight hours so use the forces of entropy and entanglement in a bid to save Rayon and the dust bunnies from certain inhalation. Rayon the dust bunny and a vacuum abhorred is a novel for trainee adults and fully fledged grown-ups with a taste for a domestic fantasia and like a twist to their stories.
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “A fascinating look at how consumers perceive logos, ads, commercials, brands, and products.”—Time How much do we know about why we buy? What truly influences our decisions in today’s message-cluttered world? In Buyology, Martin Lindstrom presents the astonishing findings from his groundbreaking three-year, seven-million-dollar neuromarketing study—a cutting-edge experiment that peered inside the brains of 2,000 volunteers from all around the world as they encountered various ads, logos, commercials, brands, and products. His startling results shatter much of what we have long believed about what captures our interest—and drives us to buy. Among the questions he explores: • Does sex actually sell? • Does subliminal advertising still surround us? • Can “cool” brands trigger our mating instincts? • Can our other senses—smell, touch, and sound—be aroused when we see a product? Buyology is a fascinating and shocking journey into the mind of today's consumer that will captivate anyone who's been seduced—or turned off—by marketers' relentless attempts to win our loyalty, our money, and our minds.

Shortlisted for the Financial Times and Goldman Sachs Business Book of the Year Prize 2008 The Snowball is the first and will be the only biography of the world's richest man, Warren Buffett, written with his full cooperation and collaboration. Combining a unique blend of "The Sage of Omaha's" business savvy, life story and philosophy, The Snowball is essential reading for anyone wishing to discover and replicate the secrets of his business and life success. Warren Buffett is arguably the world's greatest investor. Even as a child he was fascinated by the concept of risk and probability, setting up his first business at the age of six. In 1964 he bought struggling Massachusetts textile firm Berkshire Hathaway and grew it to be the 12th largest corporation in the US purely through the exercise of sound investing principles - a feat never equalled in the annals of business. Despite an estimated net worth of around US$62 billion, Buffett leads an intriguingly frugal life taking home a salary of only £50,000 a year. His only indulgence is a private jet, an extravagance he wryly acknowledges by calling it "The Indefensible". In 2006, he made the largest charitable donation on record, with most of it going to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The Snowball provides a comprehensive, richly detailed insight one of the world's most extraordinary and much loved public figures.
Increasing numbers of people--including actress Drew Barrymore, pop star Moby, and actor Alec Baldwin--are embracing veganism, a lifestyle that entails avoiding all animal-based products and behaving ethically and conscientiously within our surroundings. In The Vegan Sourcebook, long-time activist Joanne Stepaniak further explores and illuminates the principles and practical aspects of compassionate living.
The Story Behind THE LEGEND OF BAGGER VANCE If you've read his books THE WAR OF ART and TURNING PRO, you know that for thirty years Steven Pressfield (GATES OF FIRE, THE AFGHAN CAMPAIGN etc.) wrote spec novel after spec novel before any publisher took him seriously. How did he finally break through? Ignoring just about every rule of commercial book publishing, Pressfield's "first" novel not only became a major bestseller (over 250,000 copies sold), it was adapted into a feature film directed by Robert Redford and starring Matt Damon, Will Smith, and Charlize Theron. Where did he get the idea? What magical something did THE LEGEND OF BAGGER VANCE have that his previous manuscripts lacked? Why did Pressfield decide to write a novel when he already had a well established screenwriting career? How does writing a publishable novel really work? Taking a page from John Steinbeck's classic JOURNAL OF A NOVEL, Steven Pressfield offers answers for these and scores of other practical writing questions in THE AUTHENTIC SWING.

Publisher Description
This book contains 25 essays about English words, and how they are defined, valued, and discussed. The book is divided into four sections. The first section, "Language Lore," examines some of the myths and misconceptions that affect attitudes toward language--and towards English in particular. The second section, "Language Usage," examines some specific questions of meaning and usage. Section 3, "Language Trends," examines some controversial trends in English vocabulary, and some developments too new to have received comment before. The fourth section, "Language Politics," treats several aspects of linguistic politics, from special attempts to deal with the ethnic, religious, or sex-specific elements of vocabulary to the broader issues of language both as a reflection of the public consciousness and the U.S. Constitution and as a refuge for the most private forms of expression.
