Описание: Telzey Amberdon was only in her teens when she discovered that she was a telepath. Not only a telepath, but a xenotelepath, able to communicate mentally not just with humans, but with alien intelligences. And she turned out to be one of the most powerful telepaths in the history of the galactic civilization called the Hub.
First she had to deal with an alien race that humans hadn't realized were intelligent, and who were about to eliminate those troublesome humans who thought they were colonizing an uninhabited world. Then, she had to fend off the secret psi agents of the Psychological Corps who took a dim view of any telepath, let alone one with Telzey's powers, operating outside of their control. Next, she stumbled across a telepathic serial killer, who used an unstoppable predator, under his mental control, to hunt and kill his victims -- and Telzey was to be the catch of the day.
It was fortunate for the human race that she survived, since she next found herself in the middle of a secret war between two hidden races of genetically engineered humans. They called it the "Lion Game," and they made the mistake of thinking that in this clash of predators, Telzey was just a harmless kitten. But when the dust settled, Telzey would be the only one purring....

Описание: Luke Wentworth is a private dick with enough bad habits to keep him stuck to the underbelly of Los Angeles till the trumpets call him home. Maybe sleuthing is a way to serve the greater good, but probably it's just another way to pay off debts and get a little action to boot. Tracking the missing daughter of a local big-shot requires a certain amount of tact that our Wentworth just doesn't have time for. Things will go wrong. People will get hurt. Cats better scat or they'll wind up going splat. Luke is on the job, but the job keeps getting bigger and badder.

Описание:
This postcard history of the Chautauqua Institution displays its cohesive combination of recreation and religion showcased with hundreds of splendid images.
The Chautauqua Institution was started in 1874 by the Normal Department of the Methodist Episcopal Church as a two-week program to instruct Sunday school teachers of all Protestant denominations. The program proved to be a popular combination of worship, education, and recreation and each year brought thousands of visitors to the beautiful shores of Chautauqua Lake. As Chautauqua became a model for lifelong learning and the good use of leisure time, hundreds of similar sites were built across the continent. The Chautauqua program included lectures, classes, symphony concerts, opera, theater, art, and recreations such as golf, tennis, swimming, and sailing. In time, the movement embraced all denominations and faiths. Today, Chautauqua offers a vacation filled with many opportunities in a setting that could be from a century ago.
