Rule's true-crime books are cautionary tales, police procedurals, character studies and guilty pleasures. This ninth installment in her Crime Files series features a haunting collection of 10 cases, most of which took place in Washington and Oregon in the 1960s and '70s. They are stories about love and obsession turned deadly, and they remain relevant today, especially in the light of the Scott Peterson trial.

Gr. 1-3 A book on a library shelf explains its physical attributes (title page, copyright page, spine, covers) before launching into the tale of its transformation from a bunch of wood chips into its present form--with the help of an author, editor, illustrator, paper mill, printing press, and binding machine. Clear but not overly detailed, the text maintains a light tone, keeping the information accessible to beginning readers and even preschoolers listening to the book read aloud. The final page offers a few questions for class discussion.
A new picture of the relationship between literacy, social status, and political power in the medieval period.
Through the analysis of magic as a metaphor for the mysterious workings of writing, Glamorous Sorcery sheds light on the power attributed to language in shaping perceptions of the world and conferring status.
In The Bi-Personal Field, Antonino Ferro sets out his new conceptual system for analysis, claiming that the basic focus of the analytic relationship is the conscious and unconscious interpersonal processes occurring between the analyst and the patient.

Matilda is a little girl who is far too good to be true. At age five-and-a-half she's knocking off double-digit multiplication problems and blitz-reading Dickens. Even more remarkably, her classmates love her even though she's a super-nerd and the teacher's pet. But everything is not perfect in Matilda's world. For starters she has two of the most idiotic, self-centered parents who ever lived. Then there's the large, busty nightmare of a school principal, Mrs. ("The") Trunchbull, a former hammer-throwing champion who flings children at will and is approximately as sympathetic as a bulldozer. Fortunately for Matilda, she has the inner resources to deal with such annoyances: astonishing intelligence, saintly patience, and an innate predilection for revenge.
