The laser is one of the remarkable inventions of all time, with virtually endless uses in communications, technology, and medicine. Even more remarkable is how it was invented?by an obscure Columbia University graduate student who had already spent years unsuccessfully working on his Ph.D. This is the story of Gordon Gould, who invented the laser and gave it its name, and then had to fight a prominent, Noble Prize-winning physicist to claim the rights to his invention, a fight that lasted thirty years. ?A riveting account of genius, rivalry, and greed.??Choice

Happiness and good health can decline or improve with age depending upon important mental habits learned in childhood. Viewing the mind as a self-organizing system, Blakeslee shows how we can improve our attitudes by reorganizing "critical moments" where a tiny effort can profoundly affect future development to help you identify unhealthy attitudes, attitude tests given to three thousand elderly people in 1973 are included. Follow-ups 21 years later showed an amazing correlation between scores on these tests and good health. The 300 people with highest scores were 30 times more likely to be al

Robin was always "wandering off" (her mother’s words) to get away from the confusion she felt inside her. It was not until Robin’s father found a permanent job at the McCurdy ranch, after three years as a migrant worker, that Robin had a place to wander to. As time went by the Velvet Room became more and more of a haven for her--a place to read and dream, a place to bury one’s fears and doubts, a place to count on. The Velvet Room, first published in 1965, was a Junior Library Guild selection, and part of Scholastic Books’ Arrow Book Club.

Ivy Carson belonged to the notorious Carson family, which lived in a run-down house in suburban Rosewood. But Ivy was not a typical Carson. There was something wonderful about her. Ivy explained it by saying that she was a changeling, a child of supernatural parents who had been exchanged for the real Ivy Carson at birth. This classic book was first published in 1970. It was awarded a Christopher Medal and named an outstanding book for young people by the Junior Library Guild.

The entire Enemy Mine Series gathered in one volume: The Talman, Enemy Mine (The expanded Nebula and Hugo Award winner that inspired the 20th Century Fox motion picture starring Dennis Quid and Lou Gossett, Jr.), the novels The Tomorrow Testament and The Last Enemy, plus more. Talma is the pat of choosing paths. The Enemy Papers is the saga of how humans and their enemies used Talma to end war. "...this was one of those rare times when a story was so good that even I could see "Hugo" written all over it."--Isaac Asimov on Enemy Mine
