Marilyn in Manhattan : her year of joy / by Winder, Elizabeth,author.(CARDINAL)342099;
Includes bibliographical references.Miss lonelyhearts -- The fugitive -- Blonde on (subdued) blonde -- Liquor, literati, Lee Strasberg -- Infatuation -- Flesh impact -- Ingenue -- The Strasbergs -- In bloom -- Shangri-la -- Fire Island -- In the bulrushes -- Sutton Place -- Baby doll -- Cherie -- Stars -- The return -- Mazzie -- Epilogue."In November 1954 a young woman dressed plainly in a white oxford and dark sunglasses and a black pageboy wig boards a midnight flight from Los Angeles to New York. As the plane's engines rev she breathes a sigh of relief, lights a cigarette, and slips off her wig, revealing a tangle of fluffy blond curls. Marilyn Monroe was leaving Hollywood behind, and along with it, a failed marriage and a frustrating career. She needed a break from the scrutiny and insanity of LA. She needed Manhattan. In Manhattan, the most famous woman in the world can wander the streets unbothered and spend hours at the Met getting lost in art and afternoons buried in the stacks of the Strand. Marilyn begins to live a life of the mind in New York; she dates Arthur Miller, dances with Truman Capote, and drinks with Carson McCullers. Even though she had never lived there before, in New York, Marilyn is home. In Marilyn in Manhattan, the iconic blond bombshell is not only happy but also successful. She breaks her contract with Fox Studios to form her own production company, a groundbreaking move that makes her the highest-paid actress in history and revolutionizes the entertainment industry. A true love letter to Marilyn, and a joyous portrait of a city bursting with life and art, Marilyn in Manhattan is a beautifully written, lively look at two American treasures--New York and Marilyn Monroe--and sheds new light on one of our most enduring icons."

The art of more : how mathematics created civilization / by Brooks, Michael,1970-author.(CARDINAL)655817;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 295-312) and index.Introduction: Why our skill with numbers is the greatest human achievement of all -- Arithmetic: how we founded civilization -- Geometry : how we conquered and created -- Algebra : how we got organised -- Calculus : how we engineered everything -- Logarithms : how we launched science -- Imaginary numbers : how we fired up the electric age -- Statistics : how we made everything better -- Information theory : how we created the modern era -- Conclusion: Maths is a many-splendoured thing."For readers of Steven Strogatz's Infinite Powers and The Joy of x comes this illuminating exploration of the ways in which math-and the people who have mastered its inherent power through the ages-has shaped our world. In this captivating, sweeping history, Michael Brooks makes clear that mathematics was one of the foundational innovations that catapulted humanity from a nomadic existence to civilization, and that it has been instrumental in every subsequent great leap of humankind--from charting the movements of celestial bodies, to navigating the globe, to tracking the dissemination of viruses. And the trailblazing mathematicians who devoted their lives to taming numbers come to life in Brooks's telling. Here are ancient Egyptian priests, Babylonian tax officials, the Apollo astronauts, the hobbyist who cracked a mapmaking puzzle that had stumped both NASA and U.S. Geological Survey, and the MIT professor who invented the infrastructure of the online world. Their stories clearly demonstrate that the invention of mathematics is every bit as important to the human species as the discovery of fire. First page to last, The Art of More brings mathematics back into the heart of what it means to be human"--

Prince of fire [sound recording] / by Silva, Daniel,1960-(CARDINAL)342514; Barry, Guerin.;
Director, Jim Bond; engineer, Mikael Naramore.Read by Guerin Barry.Gabriel Allon, an Israeli secret agent, is pulled from his cover to hunt down terrorists who have committed a horrific crime, in this case the bombing of the Israeli embassy in Rome. The mastermind behind the bombing is French archeologist Paul Martineau, aka "Khaled, son of Sabri, grandson of Sheikh Asad. Khaled, avenger of past wrongs, sword of Palestine." Orphaned as a child after his father is killed by the Israelis, Khaled is also the adopted son of Yasir Arafat, who has now activated Khaled to wreak vengeance on his mortal enemies. Gabriel assembles a team of crack young agents and sets out to find when and where Khaled will strike next. The determined team tracks down the terrorist, but when Gabriel goes in for the kill the plot takes a stunning twist; the lives of all, plus hundreds of innocent bystanders, are threatened.
