  Burn Marks: V. I. Warshawski, Book 6 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 838min

  Victoria, sweetie, you look terrific! With those words - and the sour yeasty smell of stale beer - Elena, V.I. Warshawski’s derelict aunt, reenters her niece’s life at three in the morning. Burned out of her SRO hotel, Elena has turned to V.I. for a place to stay. V.I. vows that it will be a short visit and uses some old political contacts to find Elena a room. When V.I. is hired to investigate the fire at the hotel, her aunt disappears, and her aunt’s young friend is found dead at a construction site. V.I. is warned off the case by both a high-ranking police officer and a major Chicago developer - who also happens to be a close friend of the chairman of the Cook County Board. After three terrifying attempts on her life, V.I. doesn’t know whether it’s the politicians, the police, or the developers who are after her. As this, her sixth investigation, takes her deep into the workings of both the construction business and Cook County politics, V.I. discovers a connection between the two that brings her to a confrontation where the line between friend and enemy is redrawn to frightening effect. ungekürzt.

  That Old Black Magic : Louis Prima, Keely Smith, and the Golden Age of Las Vegas , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 459min

  In 1948, New Orleans veteran trumpeter and singer Louis Prima stumbled into a young girl named Keely Smith. She was barely a performer at all, almost half his age, destined for a relatively quiet life; their encounter was pure coincidence. But they went on to invent The Wildest, the most exciting and successful lounge act Las Vegas has ever seen, an act that became one of the hottest in the U.S. in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Their records were hugely popular, and they were courted by Frank Sinatra, Ed Sullivan, Robert Mitchum, and other well-known entertainers of the day. Their professional success helped bring about the rise of Las Vegas as a mecca of American entertainment. Their love story ended soon after they helped usher in John F. Kennedys presidency, singing "That Old Black Magic" for him at his inauguration, but their influence is still evident. And Keely still draws SRO audiences to her nightclub appearances. Now, on the occasion of Louis Prima's 100th birthday, comes the first book on this duo, illustrating not only one of show business greatest love stories but also the Vegas milieu in which they reached the pinnacle of their success. ungekürzt.

  Ocean Modelling for Beginners

  Thisbookfocusesonthedynamicsoftheoceanbeingin?uencedbytheEarth sro- tion and density strati?cation. Fluids in motion are a dif?cult subject of study that traditionally requires advanced knowledge of analytical mathematics, in particularly matrix algebra, differential and integral calculus, and complex analysis. Hence, this fascinating ?eld of science, known as geophysical ?uid dynamics, is accessible only to a limited number of students those who either are naturally geniuses or those who underwent tough years of intense University study. Fluid processes are inherently complex and analytical solutions describing ?uid dynamics exist only in a few instances and only under highly simpli?ed assu- tions. Computer-based numerical models are required to approximate ?uid beh- ior in more realistic situations. Because of its complexity, universities tend to offer subjects in computational modelling of ?uid dynamics only at postgraduate level. This is a pity given that ?uid processes are truly fascinating in nature and given that the oceans play a signi?cant role in shaping life on Earth. The approach I pursue in this book is different from the traditional approach.

  Interior Chinatown (eBook, ePUB)

  A deeply personal novel about race, pop culture, and escaping the roles we are forced to play-by the author of the infinitely inventive How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe. Willis Wu doesn't perceive himself as a protagonist even in his own life: He's merely Generic Asian man. Sometimes he gets to be Background Oriental Making a Weird Face or even Disgraced Son, but he is always relegated to a prop. Yet every day he leaves his tiny room in a Chinatown SRO and enters the Golden Palace restaurant, where Black and White, a procedural cop show, is in perpetual production. He's a bit player here, too, but he dreams of being Kung Fu Guy-the most respected role that anyone who looks like him can attain. At least that's what he has been told, time and time again. Except by one person, his mother. Who says to him: Be more. Playful but heartfelt, a send-up of Hollywood tropes and Asian stereotypes, Interior Chinatown is Charles Yu's most moving, daring, and masterly novel yet.

  Coma Savant

  * 'carnival calliopes, decadent lounge, hints of Kurt Weill colliding with Frank Zappa and The Roches.' -- Goldmine Formed in the fall of 2001, The Coma Savants (formerly Your Mom and Your Mom SRO) are a garage-cabaret-circus-rock band known for their high energy theatrical shows. The Coma Savants were founded by Stephanie Rearick and Jon Hain, owners of Mother Fool's, Madison's independent coffeehouse and east-side cultural hub. Stephanie Rearick, the band's principal writer, is respected as a virtuosic pianist. She writes separately for her solo work and her band in order to explore different sides of her musical personality. Rearick's musical career has branched in many directions over the last couple years. She performed Microtonal Piano concerts with American composer Jeff Kowalkowski at DePaul and in Madison, scored 2 1/2 hour 1924 silent film L'Inhumaine for the UW's Cinematheque program, and recently made her debut performance on trumpet, voice, and looping machine. In May 2003 she was the featured musician at Estrogen Fest, a Chicago Women's theater program. Rearick's sophomore solo release, The Bucket Rider, is due out late this Spring on Hain and Rearick's Uvulittle Records. It is self-recorded and produced, and showcases her newer solo work and some of the pieces from the film L'Inhumaine. Rearick and The Coma Savants have been a hit on college and alternative radio stations across North America, as well as spinner.com. Joey Zarda has been active in the Madison music scene for the better part of the last decade, recording and performing with Your Mom SRO, Swimming Pool Blue, and Mighty Vumba. Jason Socha dabbles in theatre and web design in addition to drumming in The Coma Savants. * 'Kurt Weill meets Captain Beefheart' says The Berkshire News * Madison's Isthmus claims that '[The Coma Savants] could gig as the house band on the Island of Misfit Toys...' * The Midwest Ursine says, 'this is great, cabaret nouveau music that is meant to bring back the fun in music.'
