I’m so upset by this. Human beings should be ashamed of themselves.
i know what you mean its like people swimming in the ocean if they get attacked by a shark they want to hunt it down and kill it even though it was doing what it is suppose to do eating if people don’t want to get bite they should stay clear of predators

The Rare and the Beautiful $10.99 Like the better-known Mitfords, the Garman sisters took center stage in Bohemian London during the first half of the twentieth century. Beautiful, flamboyant, and headstrong, they broke away from middle-class conventions, seducing and inspiring a generation of artists. Kathleen, an enigmatic artist’s model and aspiring pianist, was the lover and, later, wife of controversial American-born sculptor Jacob Epstein. Mary married the maverick poet Roy Campbell, whose verse attack on the Bloomsbury group following Mary’s affair with Vita Sackville-West was the literary scandal of the epoch. Lorna, the youngest and most beautiful of the sisters, was the lover of both the painter Lucian Freud and the poet Laurie Lee. The Rare and the Beautiful offers the first portrait of a beguiling band of eccentric siblings who possessed an uncanny ability to turn heads, break hearts, and spark creative genius. Set against the exciting backdrop of London’s decadent subculture, it evokes their extraordinary milieu of high culture, drama, and scandal. |

Beautiful $20 POETRY CELEBRATING CHILDREN SEPARATED FROM ORIGINAL FAMILY. A valedictorian honoring her long lost biological family. A child reminiscing of life before the flood. A former child soldier chasing peace, chased by the ghosts of war. An adoptive youths loving plea to adoptive parents. A little girls tea party conversation with her favorite doll. These are among the many fictional voices of displaced children in Beautiful. . . . This poetry, written in the adult voice yet conveying child spirit, is inspired by displaced youth Jaiya John has worked with over a lifetime. The poetic scenarios inhabiting Beautiful are entry points for our union with the true heart of child separation from original family. . . . Beautiful is much more than a source of inspiration. Its words reveal the majesty and vulnerability of all children, especially those uprooted. Beautiful is an empowerment anthem for youth, a resource for those who love, care for, and work with these purposeful souls. Child light shines through these pages, asserting the demand of our young for their dignity, while portraying their limitless power to heal, grow, and flourish. . . . A poetic companion to Jaiya Johns Reflection Pond, Beautiful is the kind of treasure we polish repeatedly, its truth seeping into our compassion. Struggle and triumph. Solitude and belonging. A journey of sunflowers toward the sun of selfhood. In these pages we find Beauty born. |

Was It Beautiful? $3.95 "Alison McGhee’s is a novel of simple explanations, simple movement, and Faulkner’s favorite, most ferocious question: Can we ever really know one another?"–"Los Angeles Times" "McGhee has written a lovely and successful third novel. She brilliantly captures the close but guarded ties between residents of a grieving small town, and delivers dialogue with the uncommon and impressive mix of precision, poignancy, and believability." –"Minneapolis Star Tribune" "McGhee is a beautiful writer, especially in her sense of place and her precision in describing characters." –"Twin Cities Pioneer Press" "McGhee, author of the critically acclaimed novel Shadow Baby, portrays in spare and beautiful prose a setting and community that recall the cold, hard landscapes of Richard Russo’s fiction." –"Book Page" Was It Beautiful? is a powerful and tender portrayal of loss and renewal at midlife. With singular grace and humor, Alison McGhee pays loving attention to the details of life in the Adirondacks and to the small kindnesses and idiosyncrasies that make each member of a community precious and unique. |

Rare Breed $4.5 She’d kissed goodbye a world of wealth and safety for dirt floors and man-eating animals. But beautiful American park ranger Wynne Sperling wasn’t prepared for the real dangers of living in the African bush. Determined to protect the animals she loved, Wynne had to expose the man behind a deadly poaching ring–handsome, eccentric Noah Hellstrom, a proclaimed conservationist and owner of a big-money safari tour operation. With her ragtag team that included a young ranger, an elderly tribesman, her pet albino leopard and a smart-mouthed Texan who might or might not be on her side, Wynne began a hunt that threatened to put her on top of the endangered species list…. |

In a Beautiful Country in a Beautiful Country in a Beautiful Country in a Beautiful Country in a Beautiful C $13.57 In a Beautiful Country examines America’s suburbs and exurbs where "The thrown newspaper fails / to reach the steps." Taking place beside hospital beds and amid outlet malls, within earshot of military bases and in the light of horror movies, these poems mourn the loss of parents, friends, and our sense of our nation. Turning to ballad-like rhythms, Prufer critiques romanticized visions of art while asserting its central role in citizenship and empire. |

The Beautiful and Damned $17.38 The work that signaled Fitzgerald’s maturity as a storyteller and novelist, "The Beautiful and Damned" is a devastating portrait of the excesses of the Jazz Age. Anthony Comstock Patch is a Harvard-educated gallant who leisurely aspires to author a book as he awaits an enormous inheritance upon his grandfather’s death. Not quite gorgeous, but considered handsome here and there, he thinks himself an exceptional young man — sophisticated, well-adjusted, and destined to achieve some subtle accomplishment deemed worthy by the elect. Gloria is a sparkling young socialite and a rare beauty. Armed with an incisive wit, she’s at once level and reckless. Patch’s impassioned marriage to Gloria is fueled by alcohol and consumed by greed. The dazzling couple race through a series of alcohol-induced fiascoes — first in hilarity, and later in despair. "The Beautiful and Damned" is a piercing and tragic depiction of New York nightlife, reckless ambition, squandered talent, and the faux aristocracy of the nouveaux riches. Published in 1922 on the heels of Fitzgerald’s first novel, "This Side of Paradise, " it gives evidence to the sharp social insight and breathtaking lyricism of one of the most important American writers of the twentieth century. |

Beautiful Joe $13.18 Beautiful Joe was a dog from the town of Meaford, Ontario, whose story inspired the bestselling 1893 novel Beautiful Joe, which contributed to worldwide awareness of animal cruelty. The real Beautiful Joe was an Airedale-type dog. He was medium-sized, brown, and described as likely being part bull terrier and part fox terrier. Saunders was so touched by Joe’s story that she wrote a novel-length, fictionalized, autobiographical version of it. |

Beautiful in the Mouth $15.41 Thomas Lux selected this debut collection as winner of BOA’s A. Poulin, Jr., Poetry Prize. In his foreword he writes, "I was immediately struck by the boldness of imagination, the strange cadences, and wild music of these poems. We should be glad that young poets like Keetje Kuipers are making their voices heard not by tearing up the old language but by making the old language new." Keetje Kuipers, a native of the Northwest, earned her BA at Swarthmore College and MFA at the University of Oregon. A Stegner Fellow at Stanford University, she divides her time between Stanford and Missoula, Montana. From Devils Lake Journal: "Keetje Kuipers’ Beautiful in the Mouth is at once lovely, frank, and haunting. The poems move easily between landscapes, inhabiting the American west, Paris, and New York City with equal ease and yet, they never exploit sympathies of locale for their power. Instead, they rely on nothing but the speaker’s own candor, who is able to speak through such disparate poems as "Bondage Play as Substitue for Prayer" alongside "Waltz of the Midnight Miscarriage," "Reading Sappho in a Wine Bar," and "Barn Elegy" with a good spattering of honest-to-goodness sonnets." From ForeWord Reviews: "The poems move like ghosts themselves: disappearing into walls, circling back, appearing for a moment to be captured, then evaporating into thin air. Kuipers pins moments onto the page with the care of an etymologist collecting rare specimens. Her poems are at once visceral and cosmic, "a wave as well as a particle."" |

What Is Beautiful? $5.12 What Is Beautiful is the fourth in the best-selling "life concepts" children’s books by Etan Boritzer. Exploring ideas of higher inner qualities such as bravery, peacefulness and giving, the author allows children to reflect on what the attributes of true and lasting beauty are all about. Issues of tolerance ("Can something be beautiful which we can’t understand") as well as transient popular notions of beauty are also addressed. |

Beautiful Losers $15.55 One of the best-known experimental novels of the 1960s, "Beautiful Losers" is Cohen’s most defiant and uninhibited work. The novel centres upon the hapless members of a love triangle united by their sexual obsessions and by their fascination with Catherine Tekakwitha, the 17th-century Mohawk saint. By turns vulgar, rhapsodic, and viciously witty, "Beautiful Losers" explores each character’s attainment of a state of self-abandonment, in which the sensualist cannot be distinguished from the saint. "From the Paperback edition." |
