2000Poetry by young Canadian writer who lives part of the time in Greece. " Karen Connelly's fourth collection of poetry is remarkable in its energy, courage, and resounding depth. Connelly is a poet rare in her ability to address the political from within the realm of personal experience. Moving among the haunted refugees and political dissidents on the Thai-Burmese border, retelling the stories of Greek peasants, negotiating the borders between home and exile, Connelly brings to all her poetry a passion for being fully alive, engaged with the world as both participant and witness." 110p.

1989Christina Onassis lived,she once said,in a world where everything shimmered.Not yet embarked on her playgirl path,not yet in possession of the fortune that would make her the richest woman on earth,the future beckoned brilliantly.She was seventeen years old,and she would never be happy again. The world followed the tragic tale of Christina Onassis:her childhood in a charmed world of pampered neglect,with her parent"s affection scrawled on postcards and wrapped in second-hand hugs from passing friends;her spoiled,beautiful mother"s quickie divorce and remarriage to an English peer,her father"s scandalous liaisons with Maria Callas and Jackie Kennedy;the violent deaths of her beloved aunt Eugenie Niarchos and her brother Alexander,the battle of wills with her father,and her escape into the international jet set;her inheritance of his empire,which she ruled with the ruthless verve of a true Onassis;and her own long odyssey in search of happiness,ending with sudden death in Argentina,away from her fourth husband and the child she loved so much. Christina"s story - a story of money,sex,drama and intrigue among the very rich - reached out to millions of people.Yet the woman herself,strong and passionate,remained a mystery. Dempster,the gossip columnist for the Daily Mail,knows her story intimately.His Heiress is compulsive reading,packed with new revelations.But it is more than simply an expose.It is a study of wealth and power,and of the woman who wielded both in a fierce hunt for love.

1998Minor creasing to ffep. Else book is fine. DJ has minor shelfwear. ; Heraclides Ponticus (387 - 312 BCE) , also known as Heraklides, was a Greek philosopher who lived and died at Heraclea, now Eregli, Turkey. He has frequently been hailed as the originator of the heliocentric theory. Though this is now generally doubted, he did anticipate the thinking of later astronomers. Heraclides' father was Euthyphron, a wealthy nobleman who sent him to study at the Academy in Athens under its founder Plato and under his successor Speusippus, though he also studied with Aristotle. According to the Suda, Plato, on his departure for Sicily in 360 BCE, left his pupils in the charge of Heraclides. Speusippus, before his death in 339 BCE, had chosen Xenocrates as his successor but Xenocrates narrowly triumphed in an ensuing election against Heraclides and Menedemus. A punning on his name, dubbing him Heraclides "Pompicus, " suggests he may have been a rather vain and pompous man and the target of much ridicule. However, Heraclides seems to have been a versatile and prolific writer on philosophy, mathematics, music, grammar, physics, history and rhetoric, notwithstanding doubts about attribution of many of the works. It appears that he composed various works in dialogue form. The main source of this biographical welter is the collection by Diogenes Laërtius. His major distinction is that he realised, as the result of observation, that Venus and Mercury orbit the Sun as satellites. Some writers have seen this as evidence that he originated the heliocentric theory prior to Aristarchus of Samos and Nicolaus Copernicus. However, it is now generally believed that he was proposing an essentially geocentric model in which those planets orbit the Sun but the Sun, in turn, orbits the Earth along with the Moon, a theory later revived by Tycho Brahe. He was also the first to put forward the theory that the Earth rotates on its axis once a day. Of particular significance to historians is his statement that fourth century Rome was a Greek city. ; 178 pages; Sandpiper reprint.
