New York Times Notable Book: “The sorrows of Job [visit] a St. Louis nut salesman, with hilarious results . . . [A] wry updating of the biblical tragedy” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review). In this “astute, entertaining novel,” two very different men cross each other’s paths in St. Louis, Missouri (The New York Times). Ben Hudnut is an upper-middle-class entrepreneur determined to bring an affordable cashew to American consumers. When he isn’t pursuing this goal, he’s usually in the company of his wife and four daughters—occasionally joined for family dinner by his dull but devoted secretary. Jeremy Cook, meanwhile, is a cynical unemployed academic, a linguist who doesn’t know what to do with himself—until he’s pressured into studying Ben Hudnut’s baby girl and her unusual speech patterns. But as different as these two men are, they will soon have one thing in common, as both of their lives begin to fall apart around them . . . “A dark domestic comedy that traces the perils of middle-aged manhood, told with attentiveness to the subtleties of communication.” —The New York Times Book Review “Witty, good-natured, and completely convincing: Carkeet has managed, with sympathy and charm, to trace the exceptional adventures of an utterly ordinary man.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “A shrewd, wickedly funny delight, full of hilarious takes on rocky marriages, sexual boredom, raising kids, communication gaps—and nutty doings, as in almonds and cashews . . . A delectable observer of human foibles and pretense.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Combining elements of domestic comedy with the linguistic insights of his favorite protagonist, Jeremy Cook, Carkeet has created another modern parable that delineates the fault lines existing between the sexes and running through the textures of language itself.

The essay reads an Enlightened and modern critique of progress in Mozart's Cosi fan tutte. With numerous references to other operas and texts, and with a storyline that emphasizes inevitable, yet mutable aspects of human nature, Cosi presents an ambivalent picture of the ways in which even the most disinterested and best-informed attitude toward the past can affect the future. At the same time, the opera seems to embrace the notion of freedom of choice without rejecting tradition or repetition. The essay also comments on the performance of Cosi in Zurich in 2000, conducted by Nikolaus Harnoncourt, who often works with authentic period instruments.

A linguist tries to solve a murder mystery in this Edgar Award–nominated novel: “Intelligent, unpredictable . . . and extraordinarily funny” (San Francisco Chronicle). Dedicated to the study of toddlers and their development of verbal skills, the Wabash Institute should be staffed by kind, gentle scholars. Instead, the center is home to a nest of supremely cranky academics. When one of them is bludgeoned to death, Jeremy Cook—the institute’s premier scholar and this novel’s socially clueless hero—becomes the prime suspect. To clear his name, Cook resolves to solve the case, even if it means taking time off from his hobby of teaching imaginary words to the Institute’s tiny “subjects.” While gleefully skewering academia, the author—a professor of linguistics himself—also provides a spectacularly ingenious puzzle and, in the words of Publishers Weekly, “a first-rate thriller.” “The dialogue is crisp and witty, and the plot as unusual and engaging as any from the Golden Age of the classic detective story.” —St. Louis Post-Dispatch “An engaging oddball of a hero.” —Kirkus Reviews “Mystery stories that have a really original solution to a crime are very rare, but Dr. Carkeet has found one . . . a thoroughly enjoyable piece of work.” —The New York Times Book Review

Cliff Swartz is a passionate advocate for better physics teaching, based on a curriculum that is quantitative and includes experiments "with a purpose." Here, in a collection of editorials written for The Physics Teacher magazine—along with a few new ones—he cajoles, chides, preaches, and provides a good swift kick in the intellectual pants for those who are working to share physics with the next generation. Gleaned from a lifetime in the lab and in the classroom, Swartz's book is chock-full of wisdom for neophytes as well as seasoned veterans. Favorite editorials such as "Practically Perfect in Every Way" and "Justifying Atoms" provide the reader with an insider's view of the state of physics teaching over the three decades that Swartz edited The Physics Teacher. His advice and opinions—often thought-provoking or controversial—should not go unheeded.

Have you ever stopped to notice that the Bible is full of questions? Questions that invite us to look deeper inside of God's word so that we can see the fullness of what he really wants to say to us. In this book, Questions from the Creator, author Michael Cretaro takes questions from the beginning to the end of scripture and presents them in a way that is both entertaining and inspiring, educational and also devotional. In each question, there is a chance to look at what God is saying to us in a much deeper way. When considered in their entirety, this book takes the reader on a journey that will remain interesting and memorable. This book, Questions from the Creator, compiles a collection of sixty-three biblical questions that one rarely finds brought together. That makes it perfect for both individual study and bible study fellowships. And at the end of each chapter, there are questions for personal reflection or discussion. Questions from the Creator gives the reader a chance to do much more than just read the bible, it provides a chance to understand it, and in the process, grow closer to the creator who wrote and inspired it.
