Jack Ryan always wanted to play pro ball. But he couldn't hit a curveball, so he turned his attention to less legal pursuits. A tough guy who likes walking the razor's edge, he's just met his match -- and more -- in Nancy. She's a rich man's plaything, seriously into thrills and risk, and together she and Jack are pure heat ready to explode. But when simple housebreaking and burglary give way to the deadly pursuit of a really big score, the stakes suddenly skyrocket. Because violence and double-cross are the name of this game -- and it's going to take every ounce of cunning Jack and Nancy possess to survive . . . each other.
The Big Bang model is now both theoretically and empirically well established, although ! it does not explain the mystery of the very beginning of our universe. Over recent years, however, new developments open up the exciting prospect of going "beyond" the Big Bang and even of finding a physical explanation for it. Surprisingly, the ancient idea of a past-eternal universe is being revived, but a variety of other fascinating new approaches -- from the Holographic Universe to Cosmic Natural Selection -- are also being pursued. This book provides an up-to-date overview of each of these competing scenarios with original contributions from the world's leading researchers in cosmology, who describe their own work and results in a manner understandable even to non-specialists. "The stellar line-up of contributors to this volume are working at the cutting edge of cosmological research, and are poised to take our understanding of the universe beyond the big bang into an even stranger realm." - Paul Davies. "This book provides a wonderful overview of current ideas ! on these ultimate cosmic questions, written by scientists work! ing at t he forefront of cosmological research."-- Alex Vilenkin.Jack Ryan always wanted to play pro ball.

There really can't be enough movies adapted from Elmore Leonard novels; his sinuous storylines and fluid, surprising dialogue give any movie a boost from the start. In The Big Bounce, laid-back Owen Wilson (The Royal Tenenbaums, Shanghai Noon) plays Jack, a small-time crook trying to lead an easier life in Hawaii. Trouble is, he can't keep out of trouble, and when he does stay clean, trouble finds him--in this case, in the bikini-clad form of Nancy (Sara Foster), the mistress of a local developer who gets turned on by the whiff criminal activity. She lures Jack into a scheme that ultimately involves a solid! cast including Morgan Freeman, Charlie Sheen, Gary Sinise, B! ebe Neuw irth, Willie Nelson, and more. Foster doesn't bring much to movie besides her alarmingly sculpted body and the ending peters out, but The Big Bounce has enough snap and crackle that you don't miss the pop. --Bret FetzerThe Big Bounce is presented here in a high quality paperback edition. This popular classic work by Walter S. Tevis is in the English language, and may not include graphics or images from the original edition. If you enjoy the works of Walter S. Tevis then we highly recommend this publication for your book collection.The Fun Hop circumference should not exceed 44 inches per instructions. The hopper will increase in size after inflation about 1/2- 1 inches. The Hopper is designed to carry one child and a maximum weight limitation-100 poundsEvery child knows this much about evolution: somewhere, way, way back, we were kangaroos. All you need to satisfy the deep primal desire to get around by hopping is one of these big, heavy-gauge vinyl hoppi! ng balls. The slightly stippled surface of the blue vinyl provides plenty of grip, and the ball inflates to over 53 inches in circumference, so it can accommodate different sizes of human Roo. The best feature of this model is a large, solid, arch-shaped handle so that you can hang on across long stretches of rough outback. A pump is required. --Richard Farr
