General Fiction Ebooks - Unauthorized Harry Potter Book Seven News: Half-Blood Prince Analysis and Speculation by W. Frederick Zimmerman. This "nimble" guide to the work of best-selling author J. K. Rowling takes advantage of the unique capabilities of electronic publishing technology to provide the latest news about the author and her works, updated whenever there are significant developments. Unlike a conventional book, for which editions are printed in quantity every couple of years, this "living book" goes through frequent "mini-editions" and is printed fresh whenever customers place an order. This version was most recently updated May 5, 2006. As research for this book, I read: * Every on-line chat that J. K. Rowling has ever done. * Hundreds of news articles mentioning the quoted phrase "Half-Blood Prince" in a leading news warehouse and more hundreds of articles identified by Google News as mentioning the quoted phrase "Half-Blood Prince." * Hundreds of blogs mentioning the quoted phrase "Half-Blood Prince" in the blog search engine Feedster. * Hundreds of posts on dozens of Potter-related websites. * Dozens of trademark applications at the UK and US patent offices. * Numerous biographies and critical works about J. K. Rowling. * And, of course, the entire series to date! This book contains the results of my research. Over the years and especially after publication of "Half-Blood Prince", J. K. Rowling and others have let slip quite a bit of information about the series. I think I was able to pull together a lot of interesting information. You will notice that there are many quotations and that wherever possible I have provided an "attribution"?that is, I have identified author, title, date, and place of publication (often Internet). That way, you can judge for yourself whether my sources are solid. Purchase At: http://www.booksonboard.com/index.php?BODY=viewbook&BOOK=122355

General Fiction Ebooks - Finding Ben : A Mother's Journey Through the Maze of Asperger's by Barbara LaSalle. One mother's remarkable account of raising an Asperger's syndrome child. Ben seemed to be an extraordinary child. Born with a superanalytical mind, he was able to store hordes of information like a minicomputer. Yet, lurking beneath this boy genius's amazing, albeit useless, gifts for facts were an extraordinary fear of change and social aloofness. Unknown to his mother, Barbara, until much later, Ben suffered from Asperger's syndrome--the "little grown-up" disorder--a neurobiological disease similar to autism. Frank, honest, and beautifully written, Finding Ben is a remarkably moving account of Barbara LaSalle's struggles to understand--and overcome--the guilt she feels for not fully loving her son. Burdened with the belief that the world would look at her son and somehow see her own failure, Finding Ben is a powerfully honest narrative account of how a mother's love can turn over time into resentment for having to raise a special-needs child. It is through LaSalle's special friendship with Jack, a man full of wisdom despite his debilitating brain aneurysm, that LaSalle is finally able to love her son--and herself--again. With two stories to tell, Finding Ben is both a fascinating look at a mercurial disease and a powerful story of one mother's personal journey from frustration and resentment to love and acceptance.
