And he learns of other mysterious goings-on: for three days in a row the world’s atomic clocks have lost a second, resulting in bizarre accidents ranging from dropped casseroles to plane crashes. Are these events related? What’s a brother to do? Figure out a way to get his sister back, of course. In search of answers, Ches befriends the local clockmaker, Myron Stinchcombe, who knows a lot about time, and seeks out Sky Porter, who knows a lot about, well, everything. But time is running out.

There are certain presents you should never give certain pets. For example...Never give a hippo a tricycle! A children's book by Mike Thaler
"Bingham writes with an austere and unerring knowledge of what it is to be human and—transgressive."—Paula Fox "These are marvelous stories of experience and have the ripeness of wry, hard-won wisdom."—Phillip Lopate "Bingham has the eye to see where a story lives, the heart to understand it, and the voice—and craft—to tell it."—Robin Morgan In her wise and sexy new collection, Sallie Bingham examines modern-day "transgressions" in affairs of the heart. She offers up a ménage à trois, an older woman’s affair with a student, a painter who uses his age as an excuse to behave indecorously. But the reader quickly discovers the real transgressions are those of the self against the self.
Have you ever wondered how people can say and do such stupid hurtful things? Why do lovers quarrel, employees get fired, unions go on strike, nations go to war, people get divorced, and rumors run wild? If you knew the answers to these questions, and knew how to respond effectively to the causes behind these conflicts, you could vastly improve your relations with others - whether they be your children, your boss, or the President of Iran. George Jones wrote this book to give you the tools you need to understand the people in your life and to resolve your conflicts with them. He gives you these tools in a way that's clear and easy to understand and provides real-life examples that are often humorous, sometimes bizarre, and always compelling. At the core of Jones' approach is what he calls his "Nine Laws of Human Relations" - laws that will serve as a guide for your actions and provide insight into the actions of others.
