Sinopse

Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions is an 1884 science fiction novella by the English schoolmaster Edwin Abbott Abbott.

As a satire, Flatland offered pointed observations on the social hierarchy of Victorian culture. However, the novella's more enduring contribution is its examination of dimensions; in a foreword to one of the many publications of the novella, noted science writer Isaac Asimov described Flatland as "The best introduction one can find into the manner of perceiving dimensions." As such, the novella is still popular amongst mathematics, physics and computer science students.

    Following the success of her first four humorous poetry books, Liz Cowley now returns with a new and fresh collection on gardening, written in her inimitable, light-hearted style. Often clipping and pottering first thing in the morning, Liz turns her wicked wit on ants and weeds, early frost and slippery moss, and the many triumphs and trials of gardening. All the delights and minor tribulations are wittily captured, from bees helicoptering, lunch outside or inside, to irritation about a snapped handle. In observant, whimsical, poignant and highly readable lines, Liz's new collection of over a hundred poems in different styles is an enjoyable journey to the happiness of the amateur gardener.

    Finalist for the National Book Award: A witty novel of coming of age during wartime in AmericaIn the words of its “author,” Samuel Heather, the Confession is a “comical historical pastoral” that chronicles the struggles of growing up the son of a Midwestern bishop. (“My father’s daily work was to be a father. It was excruciating.”) Samuel escapes Missouri to attend Harvard, where he gets himself expelled for exploding a footbridge over the Charles River. He is soon sent to fight in Korea and lands in a prison camp. Samuel’s picaresque coming of age—by turns both funny and poignant—is truly the tale of “a child of the century.”

    Second chances are relationship Hail Marys. I'll either win Whitney's love or go home brokenhearted.  
       
    Trey:  
       
    Whitney Savittieri is the one that got away, and I'll do anything—including strategizing with my teammates—to get her back.  
       
    Never mind that she's giving me the stiff arm and wants nothing to do with me. We're going head to head, and I'm playing for keeps.  
       
    I've been in a lot of pressure-packed games, but the stakes are higher this time—my heart and my happiness are on the line.  
       
    Whitney:  
       
    I'm avoiding my ex like the plague—like a really, really handsome plague.  
       
    While Trey's risen to fame in the NFL, my life has gone so far off track I've derailed and am careening into a ditch.  
       
    So I promised myself I'd never love again. It's too risky—a woman can only take so much disappointment.  
       
    Giving us another chance is a mistake my future and my heart can't afford.  
       
    Why Trey Let Me Get Away is a second chance, sports romance with all the sizzling chemistry but no spice. It's considered a closed door romantic comedy and is the first book in the Famously In Love duology about two celebrity siblings and their paths to love.
