The Alpha's Curvy Match 1-3
The Sheikh was used to having everything his way. His associates were rich, and his women were thin and easy. He was the gorgeously built heir of royalty. He didn't see why he shouldn't get what he wanted.
Jenny, on the other hand, lived in the real world. She was curvy, quick-witted and struggling to pay for college. She thought it would be a fun escape to go with her roommate to a Sheikh's party... but she had never met the Sheikh.
When they met, the sparks flew immediately. The Sheikh had mistaken Jenny for one of his airheads and Jenny had to give him a quick introduction to what a real woman is like. He didn't like that so much.
Their time together would have been brief if it wasn't for one thing; the Sheikh was a wolf shifter, and as a wolf, he had scratched Jenny. That presented a problem for the Sheikh. In order to keep his secret, his royal family made his victims "disappear". The Sheikh didn't like Jenny, but he didn't want that.
So coming up with a compromise, he decides to watch Jenny to see if his scratch would turn her into a wolf. And offering her a high paying job that she can't refuse, he keeps her close enough to figure out if the virginal Jenny would have to die.
Will Jenny turn into a wolf on the next full moon? Will the Sheikh let her die if she does? And will the two stop fighting with each other long enough to realize that they might be each other's perfect match? The clock is ticking for them to find out.
'THE ALPHA'S CURVY MATCH 1-3' is a limited time edition of the international bestselling series from author Alex Anders and is for those who love steamy shifter romances where a strong BBW bickers with their hot alpha male werewolf before potentially falling in love.

The Evolution Myth
The origins of life, species, and man continue to interest scientists and stir debate among the general public more than one hundred and fifty years after Charles Darwin published On the Origin of Species. The Evolution Myth approaches the subject with two intertwined objectives. Jiří A. Mejsnar first sets out to convey the advances made in cosmology, molecular biology, genetics, and other sciences that have enabled us to change our views on our origins and our relationship with the universe. Scientific advances now allow us to calculate, for example, the age of the universe, the period in which biblical Eve lived, and, with good justification, to reconsider the possibility that the Neanderthals and primates might be our ancestors. The author’s second objective is to use biology to explain why evolution cannot have taken place in the way that is most commonly assumed. Mejsnar builds his case around gene stability and on the sophisticated modern techniques for gene manipulation, the complexity of which make these modified genes inaccessible to nature. Development of life on Earth is a discontinuous, saltatory progression that results in stages following from preceding latent periods in which new forms suddenly appear and possess new types of genome. This, the author argues, is difficult to reconcile with the hypothesis of continuous biological evolution based on the natural selection of random variations. Taking a new approach to a much-debated subject, Mejsnar distills complex information into a readable style. The result is a book that as sure to get readers talking.

Parazit
Před třiceti lety Roberto Diaz a Trina Romano, odborníci na bioterorismus, nechali uprostřed západoaustralské pustiny srovnat se zemí celou vesnici, když zjistili, že její obyvatele krutě pozabíjela parazitická houba či plíseň, která se sem dostala z vesmíru v jedné z nádrží, jež do tohoto Bohem zapomenutého koutu zeměkoule spadla spolu se zbytky vesmírné stanice Skylab, ale ta ji na oběžnou dráhu vynesla právě ze Země. Zapeklitá situace. Jediné, co ji dokáže zastavit, je chlad. Jeden vzorek si odveze do USA a nechá ho uložit ve vojenském podzemním skladišti pro možné budoucí válečné účely.
Ale globální oteplování je tady, a tak se houba dostane ven a začne se rychle šířit přes těla lidí a zvířat, kteří pak umírají strašnou smrtí. Hrozí zničení celého světa. Jedině Roberto Diaz ví, co je ta potvora zač, a s pouhými dvěma komplici vytáhne do zdánlivě prohraného boje. Scenárista a režisér David Koepp se narodil roku 1963 v Pewaukee ve Wisconsinu. Vystudoval katedru filmové, divadelní a televizní tvorby na Kalifornské univerzitě v Los Angeles. Od roku 1990 se mu daří psát scénáře pro filmy, které se skutečně realizují. Po několika menších úspěších přišel ten hvězdný: David Koepp se podílel na scénáři Jurského parku, režírovaného Stevenem Spielbergem. Film měl celosvětový úspěch. Následovaly scénáře k velkofilmům Mission: Impossible, Spider-Man, Válka světů nebo Indiana Jones a tajemství křišťálové lebky. Filmy, které autor také sám režíroval, byly spíš skromnější, ale vyčnívá z nich Tajemné okno s Johnnym Deppem v hlavní roli, považované za jednu z nejlepších adaptací předlohy Stephena Kinga.
