Publisher's blurb
: "Tara Mura is an indistinct village near the coast. The peasants who live here work hard and do their best not to attract attention from outsiders and few even know the tiny village exists. The road bends near Tera Mura as the sun slowly sets. Despite its boring appearance, it may have a passable inn. A chill breeze blows through the pass, a strange, restless howl upon the wind. The moon hovers fat and full in a sky too bright for a night such as this. Perhaps it would be best to find a safe place to spend the evening. The dry snap of a twig echoes in the high rocks to one side of the road.
"Several figures in black masks appear from behind the rocks, wielding rough-hewn spears. Perhaps this won't be such a boring trip after all."

Psychology Basics
This revised title in the Magill's Choice series features 127 essays.
One-third of these topics did not appear in the previous edition of
Psychology Basics. The remaining two-thirds have the same or similar
titles but were either newly commissioned for the revision of the
larger encyclopedia or feature updated text--bringing them in line with
the most recent edition of the American Psychiatric Association's
Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders: DSM-IV-TR
(2000)--and "Sources for Further Study" sections offering the latest
editions and scholarship. Additions to the Revised Edition include new
top matter, tailored subheadings guiding readers through the text,
photographs, helpful lists of diagnostic criteria from the DSM-IV-TR,
and an appendix Biographical List of
PSYCHOLOGISTS
with brief profiles of major figures in the field, both past and
present. As a result, Psychology Basics, Revised Edition supersedes the
previous Psychology Basics and should prove to be even more valuable.
Published in 1962, Anthony Burgess's A Clock-work Orange is set in the future and narrated by fifteen-year-old Alex in Nadsat — a language invented by Burgess and comprised of bits of Russian, English, and American slang, rhyming words, and "gypsy talk".
