Falling / by Ahrnstedt, Simona,author.(CARDINAL)626766; Menzies, Alice,translator.(CARDINAL)429826;
"Alexander de la Grip is known in the tabloids and gossip blogs as a rich, decadent, jet-setting playboy who spends most of his days recovering from the night before. With a string of beautiful conquests, he seems to care about nothing and no one. Isobel Sørensen has treated patients in refugee camps and war zones, and is about to depart Sweden for a pediatric hospital in Chad. Devoted to her humanitarian work, she cares almost too deeply. Especially when she learns that Alexander is withholding desperately needed funds from her aid foundation. Is it because she's the only woman who ever told him to go to hell? As the two push each other's boundaries to the breaking point, the truth turns out to be much more complicated. Pain, love, trust, betrayal. Which will triumph when safety is nothing but an empty word?"--

North Carolina Transportation Museum Foundation power house restoration \ by North Carolina Transportation Museum.(CARDINAL)211679;
The old Southern Railway power plant, nicknamed the Power House, at the Historic Spencer Shops was originally constructed in 1896. Two additions were built in 1905 and 1926. In 1962, the Southern Railway shut down the Power House due to the dieselization of its fleet and because there was little use for the amount of power generated by the facility. It is now recognized that the power plant needs to be restored, both to provide space for the electro-mechanical equipment to serve other buildings on the site, and as space for static display of the machinery, boilers, and associated equipment that "powered" the site. The report details the work completed as of April 2004, and plans (updated on September 12, 2005) for the next two phases of the restoration and conservation of this historic site.

Republican character : from Nixon to Reagan / by Critchlow, Donald T.,1948-author.(CARDINAL)179380;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Politics makes for strange bedfellows," the old saying goes. Americans, however, often forget the obvious lesson underlying this adage: politics is about winning elections and governing once in office. Voters of all stripes seem put off by the rough-and-tumble horse-trading and deal-making of politics, viewing its practitioners as self-serving and without principle or conviction. <p> Because of these perspectives, the scholarly and popular narrative of American politics has come to focus on ideology over all else. But as Donald T. Critchlow demonstrates in his riveting new book, this obsession obscures the important role of temperament, character, and leadership ability in political success. Critchlow looks at four leading Republican presidential contenders--Richard Nixon, Nelson Rockefeller, Barry Goldwater, and Ronald Reagan--to show that, behind the scenes, ideology mattered less than principled pragmatism and the ability to build coalitions toward electoral and legislative victory.

The Foundation / W. Michael Gear and Kathleen O'Neal Gear. by Gear, W. Michael,author.(CARDINAL)352487; Gear, Kathleen O'Neal,author.(CARDINAL)367993;
From New York Times and USA Today bestselling authors and award-winning archaeologists W. Michael Gear and Kathleen O'Neal Gear comes a deadly battle of wits between hunter and hunted. ٢What good is being the last person standing if all that's left is smoking ruins?٣ Captain Brenda Pepper is a retired special forces intelligence officer with a successful personal security business in New York when she's hired to ensure international banker Chantel Simond's safety at the Jackson Hole Economic Forum. Chantel Simond is a woman shrouded in mystery, not only for Brenda, but for Ohio senator Thomas Jesse Ortega. Newly elected to the senate, Tom Ortega is in Jackson to learn all he can before voting on Senate Bill S-107, legislation that will totally rewrite American banking law. Unbeknownst to any of them, a deadly sniper is closing in on Chantel. Brenda is sucked into the mystery of Simond International Holdings, a division of a shadowy and almost mythical organization called The Foundation. According to The Foundation's analysts, the global economy, in the face of climate change and overallocation of resources, is about to fail. In a perilous race to save humanity, Tom finds himself face-to-face with Chantel...and an ethical decision that could save his soul or doom the planet. Because, in the end, The Foundation carries its own seeds of betrayal and destruction. --Amazon.com

Lowcountry hurricanes : three centuries of storms at sea and ashore / by Fraser, Walter J.,Jr.,1936-(CARDINAL)135387;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 299-306) and index.The early years, 1686-1797 -- First storms of the new century, 1800-1804 -- A cycle of hurricanes, 1806-1824 -- Last storms of the cycle, 1825-1837 -- Mid-century storms, 1840-1857 -- Another cycle of tropical storms and hurricanes, 1865-1885 -- Major hurricanes at century's end, 1893-1898 -- Hurricanes and Gales of the twentieth century, 1904-1979 -- Hugo and after, 1989-2004."This illustrated history recounts how, for the past three hundred years, hurricanes have altered lives and landscapes along the Georgia-South Carolina seaboard. A prime target for the fierce storms that develop in the Atlantic, the region is especially vulnerable because of its shallow, gradually sloping sea floor and low-lying coastline." "With an eye on both natural and built environments, Walter Fraser's narrative ranges from the first documented storm in 1686 to recent times in describing how the low-country has endured some of the severest effects of wind and water. This chronology of the most notable lowcountry storms is also a useful primer on the basics of hurricane dynamics."--Jacket.
