<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The latest Edition of essential text and professional reference, with substantial new material on such topics as veb trees, multithreaded algorithms, dynamic programming , and edge-based flow.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Some books on algorithms are rigorous but incomplete, other cover masses of material but lack rigor. introduction to algorithms uniquely combines rigor and comprehensiveness. the book covers a broad range of algorithms in depth, yet makes their design and analysis accessible to all levels of readers. each chapter is relatively self-contained and can be used as a unit of study. the algorithms are describe in english and in a pseudocode designed to readable by anyone who has done a little programmingg. the explanations have been kept elementary without sacrificing depth of coverage or mathematical rigor.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The first edition became a widely used text in universities worldwide as well as the standard reference for professional. the second edition featured new chapter on the roll of algorithms, probabilistic analysis and randomized algorithms, and linier programming. the third edition has been revised and updated throughout. it includes two completely new chapter, on van emde boas trees and multithreaded algorithms, substantial additions to the chapter on recurrence (now called "divide-and --conquer), and an appendix on matrices. it features improved treatment of dynamic programming and greedy algorithms and a new notion of edge-based flow in the material on flow networks. many exercise and problem have been added for this edition. the international paper edition is no longer available, the handcover is available worldwide.</div>

Today is Pet Club day. There will be cats and dogs and fish, but strictly no elephants are allowed. The Pet Club doesn’t understand that pets come in all shapes and sizes, just like friends. Now it is time for a boy and his tiny pet elephant to show them what it means to be a true friend.<br />

Imaginative and lyrical, this sweet story captures the magic of friendship and the joy of having a pet.<br />

What’s in a name? For one little girl, her very long name tells the vibrant story of where she came from — and who she may one day be.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If you ask her, Alma Sofia Esperanza José Pura Candela has way too many names: six! How did such a small person wind up with such a large name? Alma turns to Daddy for an answer and learns of Sofia, the grandmother who loved books and flowers; Esperanza, the great-grandmother who longed to travel; José, the grandfather who was an artist; and other namesakes, too. As she hears the story of her name, Alma starts to think it might be a perfect fit after all — and realizes that <i>she</i> will one day have her own story to tell. In her author-illustrator debut, Juana Martinez-Neal opens a treasure box of discovery for children who may be curious about their own origin stories or names.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I've been a publishing professional for over twenty years. My family and I wrote the first Laugh-Out-Loud Joke book around our dinner table. Thanks to a bunch of awesome kids and their families Laugh-Out-Loud Jokes for Kids, has sold over 3 million copies and became a USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestseller. It has also been an Amazon.com #1 bestseller four years in a row. I live in West Michigan where in my spare time I like to laugh out loud with my wife and five kids.

Dr. Peterson journeys broadly, discussing discipline, freedom, adventure and responsibility, distilling the world's wisdom into 12 practical and profound rules for life. 12 Rules for Life shatters the modern commonplaces of science, faith and human nature, while transforming and ennobling the mind and spirit of its readers.</span><br />

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Like the best intellectual polymaths, Peterson invites his readers to embark on their own intellectual, spiritual and ideological journeys into the many topics and disciplines he touches on. It’s a counter-intuitive strategy for a population hooked on the instant gratification of ideological conformity and social media ‘likes,’ but if Peterson is right, you have nothing to lose but your own misery.” —Toronto Star</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“In a different intellectual league. . . . Peterson can take the most difficult ideas and make them entertaining. This may be why his YouTube videos have had 35 million views. He is fast becoming the closest that academia has to a rock star.” —The Observer</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Grow up and man up is the message from this rock-star psychologist. . . . [A] hardline self-help manual of self-reliance, good behaviour, self-betterment and individualism that probably reflects his childhood in rural Canada in the 1960s. As with all self-help manuals, there’s always a kernel of truth. Formerly a Harvard professor, now at the University of Toronto, Peterson retains that whiff of cowboy philosophy—one essay is a homily on doing one thing every day to improve yourself. Another, on bringing up little children to behave, is excellent…. [Peterson] twirls ideas around like a magician.” —Melanie Reid, The Times</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“You don’t have to agree with [Peterson’s politics] to like this book for, once you discard the self-help label, it becomes fascinating. Peterson is brilliant on many subjects. . . . So what we have here is a baggy, aggressive, in-your-face, get-real book that, ultimately, is an attempt to lead us back to what Peterson sees as the true, the beautiful and the good—i.e. God. In the highest possible sense of the term, I suppose it is a self-help book. . . . Either way, it’s a rocky read, but nobody ever said God was easy.” —Bryan Appleyard, The Times</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Someone with not only humanity and humour, but serious depth and substance. . . . Peterson has a truly cosmopolitan and omnivorous intellect, but one that recognizes that things need grounding in a home if they are ever going to be meaningfully grasped. . . . As well as being funny, there is a burning sincerity to the man which only the most withered cynic could suspect.” —The Spectator</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
From New York Times bestselling author Rhys Bowen comes a haunting novel about a woman who braves her father’s hidden past to discover his secrets…</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In 1944, British bomber pilot Hugo Langley parachuted from his stricken plane into the verdant fields of German-occupied Tuscany. Badly wounded, he found refuge in a ruined monastery and in the arms of Sofia Bartoli. But the love that kindled between them was shaken by an irreversible betrayal.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Nearly thirty years later, Hugo’s estranged daughter, Joanna, has returned home to the English countryside to arrange her father’s funeral. Among his personal effects is an unopened letter addressed to Sofia. In it is a startling revelation.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Still dealing with the emotional wounds of her own personal trauma, Joanna embarks on a healing journey to Tuscany to understand her father’s history—and maybe come to understand herself as well. Joanna soon discovers that some would prefer the past be left undisturbed, but she has come too far to let go of her father’s secrets now…</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">“That Rhys Bowen is the consummate storyteller is a given—from her insightful characterizations to her plotting wizardry, she is a wonderful writer. But now Rhys has outdone herself—The Tuscan Child is a poignant story of love in wartime, woven into a compelling search for the truth when mysteries consigned to the past begin to unravel. The Tuscan Child presented me with a conundrum—didn’t want the book to end, yet I couldn’t put it down. Best read with a glass of Chianti beside a roaring fire. Brava Rhys Bowen—brava!” —Jacqueline Winspear, New York Times bestselling author of the Maisie Dobbs historical mystery novels.</span></div>

<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
Rhys Bowen is the New York Times bestselling author of two historical mystery series as well as the #1Kindle bestseller In Farleigh Field. Rhys was born in Bath, England and educated at London University but now divides her time between California and Arizona. Her books have been nominated for every major mystery award and she has won fourteen of them to date. </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
She currently writes two historical mystery series, each very different in tone. The Molly Murphy mysteries feature an Irish immigrant woman in turn-of-the-century New York City. These books are multi-layered, complex stories with a strong sense of time and place and have won many awards including Agatha and Anthony. There are 16 book so far in this series plus three Kindle stories, The Amersham Rubies, Through the Window and The Face in the Mirror--a great way to introduce new readers to Molly's spunky personality.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
Then there is Lady Georgie, Rhys's latest,and very popular, heroine. She's 35th in line to the throne of England, but she's flat broke and struggling to survive in the Great Depression. These books are lighter and funnier than Molly's adventures. They poke gentle fun at the British class system--about which Rhys knows a lot, having married into an upper class family rather like Georgie's, with cousins with silly nicknames,family ghosts and stately homes. The eleventh book in the series, On Her Majesty's Frightfully Secret Service, will be published August 2017. Two books in the series have won the Agatha award for best historical mystery.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
The series received the Readers Choice Award for favorite mystery series and Rhys was nominated for career achievement. It was also voted one of Goodreads top 10 cozy mysteries. The books have been translated into many languages and brought Rhys fans from around the world.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
Her most recent achievement was the big World War 2 stand-alone novel, In Farleigh Field. It has enjoyed impressive sales world-wide and brought Rhys many new readers.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
As a child Rhys spent time with relatives in Wales. Those childhood experiences colored her first mystery series, about Constable Evans in the mountains of Snowdonia. 10 books including the Edgar nominee Evan's Gate. She has lived in Austria, Germany and Australia, but has called California her home for many years. She now escapes to a condo in Arizona during those cold California winters. When she's not writing she loves to travel, sing, hike, paint and play the Celtic harp.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Meet Eva and Sadie in debut picture book author Jeff Cohen's Eva and Sadie and the Worst Haircut EVER! The book was inspired by the viral recording of NPR reporter Jeff interviewing his two little girls explaining the worst haircut ever. When big sister Sadie notices Eva's hair is just too long and getting out of control, she decides to take matters into her own hands. When the haircut is over and there's a pile of hair on the floor, Sadie realizes she may have done something wrong. What will Eva and Sadie's parents say? Will they be able to fix the worst haircut ever? With beautiful illustrations from Elanna Allen, young readers will love reading a story based on a real-life sister act! In the same vein as Fancy Nancy, the fun and creativity of sibling relationships shine through in this sweet tale of cutting hair and learning lessons.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">PreS-Gr 1—Sadie's little sister Eva has long curly blond tresses "down to her tush" (Sadie's own mop is short, straight, and brown). No braids or pigtails can tame Eva's hair, and it has never been cut before. Sadie decides to "help" by grabbing their mom's scissors and giving Eva a haircut, with predictably dreadful results. She tries to hide the evidence from their parents but eventually admits to the misdeed after Eva tells on her, promising not to do it again. Allen's playful pencil, watercolor, and digital illustrations perfectly capture the wildness of Eva's hair and the gentle humor of the story. Based on a real-life haircutting incident with Cohen's young daughters, this story will resonate with many young readers, though hopefully not inspire them to get into their own haircutting shenanigans.—Yelena Alekseyeva-Popova, formerly at Chappaqua Library, NY</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The story of what happens when a grumpy old man and some mischievous squirrels match wits—with hilarious results.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Old Man Fookwire is a grump who only likes to paint pictures of birds that visit his backyard. The problem is, they fly south every winter, leaving him sad and lonely. So he decides to get them to stay by putting up beautiful birdfeeders filled with seeds and berries. Unfortunately, the squirrels like the treats, too, and make a daring raid on the feeders. The conflict escalates—until the birds depart (as usual), and the squirrels come up with a plan that charms the old grump.<br />

From School Library Journal<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Kindergarten-Grade 4—This simple tale has a sneaky, edgy humor that erupts into hilarity as well as a warm, stabilizing feeling for humanity in all of its quirky manifestations. "Old Man Fookwire was so old that when he sneezed, dust came out. He was also a grump. He hated pie. He hated puppies. The only thing he liked was birds." This verbal introduction to the main character is enhanced with paintings—reminiscent of some of the best European children's book illustrations—of an exaggeratedly skinny, flannel-shirted caricature with a long neck, long nose, oversized glasses, and protruding Adam's apple. He never smiles, even when he's painting pictures of the birds that visit his yard every summer. In an attempt to keep the birds around when autumn arrives, he builds wonderful birdfeeders. They do indeed attract the birds—but they also catch the eye of the squirrels. The cheerful, brilliant, and adorable creatures are shown using pulleys, weights, and remarkable cooperative planning to foil Fookwire and raid the feeders. The old man fights back. But the squirrels, still smiling and hopeful, stay up all night for a planning meeting and devise a daring escapade that relies heavily on their deep understanding of physics and their willingness to be launched through the air. What happens to the squirrels, the birds, and to Old Man Fookwire is a symphony of regret, respect, and sweetness. Readers will want to linger over this book and treasure every page.—Susan Weitz, formerly at Spencer-Van Etten School District, Spencer, NY </div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Dragons Love Tacos By Adam Rubin (Author)</span></b><br />
<div>
<div>
This scrumptious New York Times bestseller has a whole lot of kick!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Dragons love tacos. They love chicken tacos, beef tacos, great big tacos, and teeny tiny tacos. So if you want to lure a bunch of dragons to your party, you should definitely serve tacos. Buckets and buckets of tacos. Unfortunately, where there are tacos, there is also salsa. And if a dragon accidentally eats spicy salsa . . . oh, boy. You're in red-hot trouble.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The award-winning team behind Those Darn Squirrels! has created an unforgettable, laugh-until-salsa-comes-out-of-your-nose tale of new friends and the perfect snack. </div>

<b>Review</b></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Rubin and Salmieri, the team behind the equally hilarious "Those Darn Squirrels!," bring their kooky sensibility to this irresistible story about what can go wrong at a taco party for dragons... The dragons may screw up the party, but this book gets everything right." -The New York Times</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Off-kilter fun for those who like their picture books (and salsa) zesty and fresh."—Publishers Weekly, starred review</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Dragons Love Tacos is a heaping helping of silly. Little kids will relate to the anti-spicy bias and chuckle over Salmieri's watercolor and gouache cartoon illustrations showing literally boatloads of tacos and all sizes of dragons enjoying their favorite food at pool parties, costume parties and, well, taco parties."—San Francisco Chronicle</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"The perfect book for kids who love dragons and mild tacos."—Kirkus Reviews</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"The watercolor, gouache, and colored pencil cartoon illustrations are the real stars here. Regardless of, or perhaps because of, the absurdity of the story, this tale should be a big hit with anyone with an affinity for dragons."—School Library Journal</div>

Martin's oil paintings have the same retro, </b><b style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">mid-century feel as her other illustrations, with large-eyed children of many ethnicities playing, </b><b style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">gardening, and sharing together.
