This is the century that split the atom, probed the psyche, spliced genes, and cloned a sheep. Plastic, the silicon chip, and rock-and-roll were invented. Airplanes, rockets, satellites, televisions, computers, and atom bombs were built. Traditional ideas about logic, language, learning, mathematics, economics, and even space and time were overthrown and radically refashioned. People of the Century presents the one hundred most influential leaders, artists, intellects, and heroes who shaped this monumental era. This century’s one hundred most influential people were selected by the

109 poems of love and longing that recount the majesty and magic that our hearts sing straight to the ear of God. With all of the glory. With all of the hope.

Let them be drawn like halos around stars. Setting life in motion. Dream. Because of this approach the path is sometimes full of lament and grief, but Namdev is an instrument in the greatest living Orchestra to be assembled and he plays his notes with pa

The Hundred Secret Senses is an exultant novel about China and America, love and loyalty, the identities we invent and the true selves we discover along the way.

"THE WISEST AND MOST CAPTIVATING NOVEL TAN HAS WRITTEN."--The Boston Sunday Globe"TRULY MAGICAL . . . UNFORGETTABLE . . . The first-person narrator is Olivia Laguni, and her unrelenting nemesis from childhood on is her half-sister, Kwan Li. . . . It is Kwan’s haunting predictions, her implementation of the secret senses, and her linking of the present with the past that cause this novel to shimmer with meaning--and to leave it in the readers mind when the book has long been finished."--The San Diego Tribune"HER MOST POLISHED WORK . . . Tan is a wonderful storyteller, and the story’
