The Pull of the Stars
Summary
The new number-one best seller from the author of The Wonder and Room Dublin, 1918: three days in a maternity ward at the height of the Great Flu. A small world of work, risk, death and unlooked-for love, by the best-selling author of The Wonder and Room. In an Ireland doubly ravaged by war and disease, Nurse Julia Power works at an understaffed hospital in the city center, where expectant mothers who have come down with the terrible new flu are quarantined together. Into Julia’s regimented world step two outsiders - Doctor Kathleen Lynn, on the run from the police, and a young volunteer helper, Bridie Sweeney. In the darkness and intensity of this tiny ward, over three days, these women change each other’s lives in unexpected ways. They lose patients to this baffling pandemic, but they also shepherd new life into a fearful world. With tireless tenderness and humanity, caregivers and mothers alike somehow do their impossible work. In The Pull of the Stars, Emma Donoghue once again finds the light in the darkness in this new classic of hope and survival against all odds.

Understanding the Mysteries of Human Behavior
Summary
Every day of your life is spent surrounded by mysteries that involve what appear to be rather ordinary human behaviors. What makes you happy? Where did your personality come from? Why do you have trouble controlling certain behaviors? Why do you behave differently as an adult than you did as an adolescent? Since the start of recorded history, and probably even before, people have been interested in answering questions about why we behave the way we do. And many fields - including philosophy, psychology, and even theology - are focused on finding explanations. But it's only in recent decades that researchers can finally approach, understand, and solve the mysteries of emotion, thought, and behavior - solutions that help each of us to better know ourselves and the people around us. The result is not only a more solid understanding of what it means to be human, but a stronger foundation from which to live more effectively with others and to grasp their intricate behaviors and quirks. Now you can gain those benefits through a series of 24 intriguing lectures from an award-winning teacher. Professor Leary takes you on a fascinating journey into the complex heart of who you are, using the latest theories, case studies, experiments, and stories to cast light on a wide variety of human behaviors, both ordinary and puzzling. Throughout these lectures, you'll learn about the various interacting forces that influence your behavior. These include your genetic blueprint, your personal experiences, your upbringing, and the people and social groups that surround you. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Adventures with Waffles
Summary
Lena is Trille's best friend, even if she is a girl. And there is never an ordinary day when you've got a best friend like Lena.

Whether it's coaxing a cow onto a boat or tobogganing down the steepest and iciest hill with a chicken, there is always a thrill - and sometimes an injury - to be had. Trille loves to share everything with Lena, even Auntie Granny's waffles, which make everything just perfect. But when Lena has to move away, and Auntie Granny leaves the world, it sometimes seems nothing will ever be right again. The warmth of friendship and the support of family suffuses this novel, proving that when times are tough, a little taste of sweetness can make all the difference.

Full Tilt
Summary
Full Tilt is the inspiring true story of Dervla Murphy's 1963 journey from Ireland to India on an Armstrong Cadet bicycle, and the trials, landscapes, and cultures she encountered along the way. The route takes her through the valleys and snowy mountain passes of Europe and India to the scorching deserts of Afghanistan and Pakistan, where the metal of her bicycle, Rozinante (named after Don Quixote's steed), becomes too hot to touch. She travels alone, without luxuries, sleeping on the floors of teahouses or on blankets outdoors, vulnerable to wild animals, insects, and thieves. However, she is often met with generosity and kindness, and shares many meaningful encounters with the locals. Her portrayal here gives a fascinating insight into the unique communities of the Middle East in the early 1960s.

Cyrano de Bergerac
Summary
Cyrano de Bergerac, pièce écrite par Edmond Rostand en 1897, a renouvelé le théâtre d'alors. Certains ont voulu y voir le romantisme de "cape et d'épée", le panache, le courage qui stimulent un "renouveau moral", d'autres y ont vu la réconciliation des vertus du courage et de l'abnégation, sources "d'une force morale" qui prône la responsabilité de l'homme et de son destin... Mais par-delà tous ces débats, la clef du succès de Cyrano, comme celle d'ailleurs de toutes les "bonnes" pièces ne repose-t-elle pas dans cette constatation émerveillée de Jack London, qui en 1898 assistait à la première américaine de Cyrano, loin des états d'âme français : "Plusieurs morceaux semblent contenir mes propres pensées, mes propres sentiments." Cet enregistrement historique de 1955 présente une mise en scène de Pierre Hiegel, interprétée par les comédiens de la Comédie-Française en 1955. Le rôle de Cyrano y est tenu par Jean-Paul Coquelin, petit-fils de Constant Coquelin, premier interprète de Cyrano. Acte I : Une présentation à l'Hôtel de Bourgogne; Acte II : La rôtisserie des poètes; Acte III : Le baiser de Roxane; Acte IV : Les cadets de Gascogne; Acte V : La gazette de Cyrano.
