THE CENTER OF THE WORLD ON THE MOVE
THE CENTER OF THE WORLD – ON THE MOVE is a fast moving trip into the past. Join Albert and Marie’s growing family. Author Ron Schaffer recognizes many area residents, who made important contributions, as exciting family adventures developed. A brief review of most important wonderful neighbors includes: REA: Electric power replaced kerosene lamps and candles. DOCTOR Corey: Everyone knew about Doc’s dashes to the rescue. PETEY AND GUS; I sat by the roadside shaking and frightened at the thought of what might have happened. R.J.WOOD: Ron, our family is getting too big for Dolly. We’d like to give our pony to your family. TRADER-DEALER PETE LORAFF: Storming through the barnyard was the hard charging Prince, pulling the bouncing buggy with two little girls hanging on for dear life. THE THRESHING CREW: A sharp crackling spark flashed out evolving into a blazing fire. JANITOR ALBERT HARFERT: Three stories suddenly seemed like ten stories. What the heck, if Albert can do it – I can do it too. COUSIN ART: Coach Reed gave him the most important assignment. “Guse, you are guarding Jackie Robinson”! THE CHICAGO CUB SCOUT: Dad had Tony right where he wanted him. Tony most likely knew he was in charge. SONNY BARTON; Sonny, Jack Zimmerman and Bill Geik joined the war effort. NEW TROY MARKET: Will they take advantage of this rookie seller. FREDDIE GNODTKE: A troublesome flat tire could be lurking around the next corner. HOSEA AND LAURA: They walked south to the home of a minister, in Galien, to be married.
The Quanderhorn Xperimentations
ADAPTED BACKWARDS VIA THE FUTURE FROM THE RADIO 4 SERIES BEFORE IT WAS MADE A richer, deeper, more comprehensive exploration of the Quanderhorn phenomenon. With added secrets. England, 1952. A time of peace, regeneration and hope. A Golden Age. Unfortunately, it's been 1952 for the past 65 years. Meet Professor Quanderhorn: a brilliant, maverick scientific genius with absolutely no moral compass. Assisted by a rag-tag crew - his part-insect "son" (reputedly 'a major breakthrough in Artificial Stupidity'), a recovering amnesiac, a brilliant scientist with a half-clockwork brain, and a captured Martian hostage - he'll save the world. Even if he has to destroy it in the process. With his Dangerous Giant Space Laser, Utterly Untested Matter Transfuser Booth and Fleets of Monkey-driven Lorries, he's not afraid to push the boundaries of science to their very limit. And far, far beyond ...

"More than any other canonical English writer, Geoffrey Chaucer lived and worked at the centre of political life -- yet his poems are anything but conventional. Edgy, complicated, and often dark, they reflect a conflicted world, and their astonishing diversity and innovative language earned Chaucer renown as the father of English literature. Marion Turner, however, reveals him as a great European writer and thinker. To understand his accomplishment, she reconstructs in unprecedented detail the cosmopolitan world of Chaucer's adventurous life, focusing on the places and spaces that fired his imagination. Uncovering important new information about Chaucer's travels, private life, and the early circulation of his writings, this innovative biography documents a series of vivid episodes, moving from the commercial wharves of London to the frescoed chapels of Florence and the kingdom of Navarre, where Christians, Muslims, and Jews lived side by side. The narrative recounts Chaucer's experiences as a prisoner of war in France, as a father visiting his daughter's nunnery, as a member of a chaotic Parliament, and as a diplomat in Milan, where he encountered the writings of Dante and Boccaccio. At the same time, the book offers a comprehensive exploration of Chaucer's writings, taking the reader to the Troy of Troilus and Criseyde, the gardens of the dream visions, and the peripheries and thresholds of The Canterbury Tales. By exploring the places Chaucer visited, the buildings he inhabited, the books he read, and the art and objects he saw, this landmark biography tells the extraordinary story of how a wine merchant's son became the poet of The Canterbury Tales." -- Publisher's description.
