Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars.
Now, he’s sure he’ll be the first person to die there…
After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that heâs alive – and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive.
Chances are, though, he won’t have time to starve to death. The damaged machinery, unforgiving environment, or plain-old “human error” are much more likely to kill him first.
But Mark isn’t ready to give up yet. Drawing on his ingenuity, his engineering skills – and a relentless, dogged refusal to quit – he steadfastly confronts one seemingly insurmountable obstacle after the next. Will his resourcefulness be enough to overcome the impossible odds against him?

Paul Strom has the perfect life: a glittering career as an advertising executive, a beautiful wife, two healthy boys and a big house in a wealthy suburb.

 If my life were a movie, this would be the pivotal scene: a guy peering through his bedroom window at a beautiful girl. Iâm the guy, seventeen, somewhat troubled, watching the girl sit on her porch step, crying. The camera closes in on the guyâs face, tighter and tighter. He smiles, but itâs not sweet. ItâsâŠodd. The kind of smile that gives the viewer that prickly feeling deep in their gut.
Yeah, I do this a lotâwatch my life through the eyes of a director. Maybe because I want to be that one person in charge. I wish I didnât crave control. But I do… badly.

 Are plants intelligent? Can they solve problems, communicate, and navigate their surroundings? Or are they passive, incapable of independent action or social behavior?
Philosophers and scientists have pondered these questions since ancient Greece, most often concluding that plants are unthinking and inert: they are too silent, too sedentary — just too different from us. Yet discoveries over the past fifty years have challenged these ideas, shedding new light on the extraordinary capabilities and complex interior lives of plants.
In Brilliant Green, Stefano Mancuso, a leading scientist and founder of the field of plant neurobiology, presents a new paradigm in our understanding of the vegetal world. Combining a historical perspective with the latest in plant science, Mancuso argues that, due to cultural prejudices and human arrogance, we continue to underestimate plants. In fact, they process information, sleep, remember, and signal to one another — showing that, far from passive machines, plants are intelligent and aware. Through a survey of plant capabilities from sight and touch to communication, Mancuso challenges our notion of intelligence, presenting a vision of plant life that is more sophisticated than most imagine…

 Forget all those other roommate romances you might have read.
Heather and Chris don’t hate each other… very much. And they donât have sex all the time… at least not at first. Chris doesnât go around shirtless, flexing his muscles and driving Heather wild… too often. And he doesnât get jealous and possessive every time she goes out with another man… well, maybe occasionally.
But they definitely donât fall in love… right away.
When Heather comes back to her hometown, she plans to take over her fatherâs historic restoration business and move into a beautiful converted apartment in Prestonâs Mill. Then she finds out sheâll have to partner up with the one man she can never forgive. Chris Dole, who abandoned her father and betrayed her trust three years ago.
It gets even worse. They donât just have to work together. They have to become roommates for six months to prove they can get along. That means Heather will have to play nice with Chris and put up with his obnoxiousness, his drop-dead sexiness, and his ugly recliner named Flo.
Sheâll do what she has to do out of loyalty to her father, but she isnât going to like it.
At least not much.
