A Practical Guide for Improving Your Observational Skills

Inspired by Edward de Bono's six thinking hats method, the author has created a tool to help our ability to perceive. In this book, he introduces the metaphor of "six looking glasses." The six skills include binoculars, bifocals, magnifying glass, microscope, rose-colored blasses, and blindfold looking. Each looking glass provides an observational lens through which to see the world differently. This framework will help its users to see the big picture, overcome personal bias, pinpoint significance, better scrutinize numerous details, uncover potential opportunities, and see what's in the mind's eye.--

Paperback (1 to 2 lbs)

A Novel

With Texasville, Larry McMurtry returns to the unforgettable Texas town and entertaining characters from one of his best-loved books, The Last Picture Show.

This is a Texas-sized story brimming with home truths of the heart, and men and women we recognize, believe in, and care about deeply. Set in the post-oil-boom 1980s, Texasville brings us up to date with Duane, who's got an adoring dog, a sassy wife, a twelve-million-dollar debt, and a hot tub by the pool; Jacy, who's finished playing "Jungla" in Italian movies and who's returned to Thalia; and Sonny--Duane's teenage rival for Jacy's affections--who owns the car wash, the Kwik-Sackstore, and the video arcade.

With his talent for writing lovable, eccentric characters, Texasville is one of Larry McMurtry's funniest and most touching contemporary novels.

Les Fehmi

Jim Robbins

The term "open-focus brain" typically refers to a state of mind characterized by relaxed attention and expanded awareness. It was introduced by Dr. Les Fehmi, a psychologist and neurofeedback researcher. The open-focus brain state involves being aware of multiple stimuli and sensations without fixating on any particular one. This state is often associated with reduced stress, increased creativity, and improved cognitive performance. It can be achieved through specific techniques such as meditation, mindfulness, and neurofeedback training.

Harnessing the Power of Attention to Heal Mind and Body

Claims that the way people pay attention in daily life can play a crucial role in their health and well-being, and offers eight essential exercises which can foster a calm, open style of attention that reduces stress and improves health.

Good looking, but restless, businessman Mike Storrs becomes obsessed with sky-diving, somersault skiing, and hanggliding.

By the author of Rich Man, Poor Man.

The Top of the Hill

"Ragtime" is a historical novel written by E.L. Doctorow, published in 1975. Set in the early 20th century, the novel intertwines the lives of several characters from various social backgrounds against the backdrop of significant historical events. 

The story captures the spirit of the era known as the Ragtime Age, a time of cultural transformation and societal changes. Doctorow skillfully weaves together the narratives of fictional characters, including an upper-class family, an African American musician, and an immigrant father, among others.



Published in 1975, Ragtime changed our very concept of what a novel could be. An extraordinary tapestry, Ragtime captures the spirit of America in the era between the turn of the century and the First World War.    The story opens in 1906 in New Rochelle, New York, at the home of an affluent American family. One lazy Sunday afternoon, the famous escape artist Harry Houdini swerves his car into a telephone pole outside their house. And almost magically, the line between fantasy and historical fact, between real and imaginary characters, disap- pears. Henry Ford, Emma Goldman, J. P. Morgan, Evelyn Nesbit, Sig- mund Freud, and Emiliano Zapata slip in and out of the tale, crossing paths with Doctorow's imagined family and other fictional characters, including an immigrant peddler and a ragtime musician from Harlem whose insistence on a point of justice drives him to revolutionary violence. The Modern Library has played a significant role in American cultural life for the better part of a century. The series was founded in 1917 by the publishers Boni and Liveright and eight years later acquired by Bennett Cerf and Donald Klopfer. It provided the foundation for their next publishing venture, Random House. The Modern Library has been a staple of the American book trade, providing readers with afford- able hardbound editions of impor- tant works of literature and thought. For the Modern Library's seventy- fifth anniversary, Random House redesigned the series, restoring as its emblem the running torch- bearer created by Lucian Bernhard in 1925 and refurbishing jackets, bindings, and type, as well as inau- gurating a new program of selecting titles.

"The Satanic Verses" tells a complex and controversial story that explores themes of religion, identity, and cultural clash. It incorporates elements of magical realism, dream sequences, and allegorical references to religious texts. The title "The Satanic Verses" refers to a historical incident where certain verses were said to have been included in the Quran but later retracted.

Rushdie's novel sparked significant controversy and was subject to widespread criticism and even threats due to its perceived irreverence towards Islam and its prophet.

"The Satanic Verses" remains a highly debated work, known for its artistic merits and the significant impact it had on discussions around freedom of expression, religious tolerance, and the role of literature in society.

Gibreel Farishta, a legendary Indian movie star, and Saladin Chamcha, the man of a thousand voices, fall earthward from a bombed jet toward the sea, singing rival verses in an eternal wrestling match between good and evil. Reprint. 20,000 first printing.

The Life and Times

Ronald W. Clark's acclaimed biography of Einstein, the Promethean figure of our age, goes behind the phenomenal intellect to reveal the human side of the legendary absent-minded professor who confidently claimed that space and time were not what they seemed.

Here is the classic portrait of the scientist and the man: the boy growing up in the Swiss Alps, the young man caught in an unhappy first marriage, the passionate pacifist who agonized over making the Bomb, the indifferent Zionist asked to head the Israeli state, and the physicist who believed in God.
