The Devil Wears Prada

2006 y.
Publisher: Anchor
Description: Most recent college grads know they have to start at the bottom and work their way up. But not many picture themselves having to pick up their boss`s dry cleaning, deliver them hot lattes, land them copies of the newest Harry Potter book before it hits stores and screen potential nannies for their children. Charmingly unfashionable Andrea Sachs, upon graduating from Brown, finds herself in this precarious position: she`s an assistant to the most revered-and hated-woman in fashion, Runway editor-in-chief Miranda Priestly. The self-described `biggest fashion loser to ever hit the scene,` Andy takes the job hoping to land at the New Yorker after a year. As the `lowest-paid-but-most-highly-perked assistant in the free world,` she soon learns her Nine West loafers won`t cut it-everyone wears Jimmy Choos or Manolos-and that the four years she spent memorizing poems and examining prose will not help her in her new role of `finding, fetching, or faxing` whatever the diabolical Miranda wants,… [detailed...]

The Devil Wears Prada

2006 y.
Publisher: Harper
Description: When Andrea first sets foot in the plush Manhattan offices of Runway she knows nothing. She`s never heard of the world`s most fashionable magazine, or its feared and fawned-over editor, Miranda Priestly. Soon she knows way too much. She knows it`s a sacking offence to wear less than a three-inch heel to work - but there`s always a fresh pair of Manolos in the accessories cupboard. She knows that eight stone is fat. That you can charge anything - cars, manicures, clothes - to the Runway account, but you must never leave your desk, or let Miranda`s coffee get cold. That at 3 am, when your boyfriend`s dumping you because you`re always working and your best friend`s just been arrested, if Miranda phones with her latest unreasonable demand, you jump. Most of all, Andrea knows that Miranda is a monster boss who makes Cruella deVil look like a fluffy bunny. But this is her big break, and it`s all going to be worth it in the end.

He does all sorts of bad things, and the Fells are fed up.

But trading in one small problem for something else might just get you a very, very BIG problem.

Why me? Silverman wonders, but he`ll take the money and run. What can happen? Only a record-breaking snowstorm that traps him under the same roof as the evangelical Christian faculty who see this Jewish homosexual writer from San Francisco as the incarnation of the anti-Christ. Forced to defend all he believes in-sexual equality, human rights, same-sex marriage, dancing!vodka! coffee!-Silverman finds himself on the front lines of the culture wars dividing the nation today. ??

Description: Book Description A collection of vintage Christmas cards for very bad little girls and boys. The Devil in Design is a fascinating, full-color compendium of extremely rare, late 19th and early 20th-century Krampus postcards culled from key postcard collections from around the world. Lavishly illustrated with over a 150 striking and stylized full-page examples, the book also includes a short introduction tracing the character`s origin and its overwhelming popularity throughout Europe. In theChristmas traditions of Europe, the Krampus is Saint Nicholas`s dark servant?a hairy, horned, supernatural beast whose pointed ears and long slithering tongue gave misbehavers the creeps! Whereas Saint Nicholas would reward children who had been good all year with treats, those that had been disobedient were paid a visit by the Krampus. The Krampus terrorized the bad until they promised to be good. Some he`d spank, others he`d whip, while others he`d shackle, stuff into his… [detailed...]

Stephen J. Pitti
The Devil in Silicon Valley: Northern California, Race, and Mexican Americans

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This sweeping history explores the growing Latino presence in the United States over the past two hundred years. It also debunks common myths about Silicon Valley, one of the world`s most influential but least-understood places. Far more than any label of the moment, the devil of racism has long been Silicon Valley`s defining force, and Stephen Pitti argues that ethnic Mexicans--rather than computer programmers--should take center stage in any contemporary discussion of the `new West.` Pitti weaves together the experiences of disparate residents--early Spanish-Mexican settlers, Gold Rush miners, farmworkers transplanted from Texas, Chicano movement activists, and late-twentieth-century musicians--to offer a broad reevaluation of the American West. Based on dozens of oral histories as well as unprecedented archival research, The Devil in Silicon Valley shows how San JosA©, Santa Clara, and other northern California locales played a critical role in the ongoing… [detailed...]

Description: The Junior League of Willow Creek, Texas, is trs exclusive. Undesirables need not apply. Fredericka Mercedes Hildebrand Ware (Frede to her friends) is a member beyond reproach….until her life begins to unravel. When her husband betrays her, steals her money, and runs off to places unknown, it`s something Frede would rather keep under wraps. The last thing she needs is to become fodder for the JLWC gossip mill. And to make matters worse, there`s only one person in town who stands a chance at helping her get revenge: Howard Grout, a tasteless, gold-chain-wearing lawyer who has bought his way into Frede`s tony neighborhood. But there`s a price: She has to get his tacky, four-inch-stiletto-and-pink-spandex-wearing wife Nikki into the Junior League. Linda Francis Lee has written an hysterical novel about the crme de la crme of Texas society, the lengths to which one woman goes to bring her cheating husband to justice, and how taking on what seems like a `Mission Impossible` can change… [detailed...]

Alexander Kluge
The Devil`s Blind Spot: Tales from the New Century

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description Scathingly clever short stories. Includes `The Devil in the White House` and `The Development of Iraq as a Case for the Files.` At once a genuine story-teller and a literary documentarian, Alexander Kluge`s genius lies in the very special way he makes found material his own. Each of the miniatures collected here touches on `facts` and is only several pages long. In just a paragraph he can etch a whole world: he is as great a master of compression as Kafka or Kawabata. Arranged in five chapters, the dozens of stories of The Devil`s Blind Spot are condensed, like novels in pill form. The first group of stories illustrates the little-known virtues of the Devil. The second explores love from Kant and opera through the Grand Guignol. The third is entitled `Sarajevo Is Everywhere` and tests how convincing power is. The fourth group concerns the cosmos, and the fifth ranges all our `knowledge` against our feelings. In each piece, Kluge alights on… [detailed...]

David Berlinski
The Devil`s Delusion: Atheism and Its Scientific Pretensions

2008 y.
Publisher: Crown Forum
Description: Militant atheism is on the rise. Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Daniel Dennett, and Christopher Hitchens have dominated bestseller lists with books denigrating religious belief as dangerous foolishness. And these authors are merely the leading edge of a far larger movement - one that now includes much of the scientific community. `The attack on traditional religious thought,` writes David Berlinski in `The Devil`s Delusion`, `marks the consolidation in our time of science as the single system of belief in which rational men and women might place their faith, and if not their faith, then certainly their devotion.` A secular Jew, Berlinski nonetheless delivers a biting defense of religious thought. An acclaimed author who has spent his career writing about mathematics and the sciences, he turns the scientific community`s cherished skepticism back on itself, daring to ask and answer some rather embarrassing questions: Has anyone provided a proof of… [detailed...]

George, Bernard Shaw
The Devil`s Disciple

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Like several of Shaw`s early plays, The Devil`s Disciple - first produced in 1897 and published in his collection Three Plays for Puritans in 1901 - takes an existing popular theatrical form, in this case melodrama, and adapts it to serve Shaw`s dramatic purposes. Two of the ideals that Shaw sets out to attack in this play are the ideal of the family and the ideal of marriage. The play is set during the Revolutionary War and is the fictional story of Richard Dudgeon, an American hero. He revolts against the ideal of the family to the extent that he has rejected his own family. Identifying with the devil has prevented his spirit being taken over by his mother`s life-denying religion. Though being a melodrama, it is not without humor, particularly in the character of General Burgoyne. It was Shaws first play that was financially successful and helped to assure his career as a playwright. [detailed...]
