The Elements: Oxygen - Lithium - Carbon


Book Description

Do you like romance with thrilling twists? Do you want down-to-earth heroes and heroines you can root for? The Blackwood Elements series delivers all this and more with three full-length novels together in one volume. When tragedy strikes, Akari Takeda moves to Boston with her young son to follow her dream of becoming a pianist. But three men get in her way—Jansen, the skilled but uptight violinist, easygoing Jude, who understands how important coffee is to a girl, and Lincoln, the smooth-talking janitor who looks good in leather. Which of them will steal her heart, and who isn't everything he seems? After clearing up the mess in Boston, assassin Snow wants a fresh start of her own. But first, she needs to take a trip to paradise to give her ex what he deserves. That should be straightforward for a woman with her skills, but she’s not the only one who wants Raul dead, and newcomer Leo threatens to derail her plans in more ways than one. Meanwhile, in England, novelist Augusta Fordham’s got a problem of her own, or rather, two of them. Caught between wealthy doctor Gregory and a dark stranger who makes her pulse race as he indulges her fantasies, will she choose comfort and security or take a leap into the unknown? When she makes her decision, she’s thrust into a world of secrets and lies with no one to trust. Only Emmy, her new flatmate, seems to be on Augusta’s side as she discovers there’s just one truth: love is never easy. Grab Oxygen, Lithium, and Carbon and start reading today!

Chemical Poems


Book Description

Poetry. "How many gorillas must disappear, so that we can talk comfortably on our cell phones? Tantalum, the chemical element number 73, abundant in African ores, gives us the answer. It makes its confession, along with other ingredients of the world, under the researching pen of Mario Markus. This work removes the threshold between the visible and the invisible, indifference and surprise, science and poetry. The chemical elements are more than gadgets of the universe: they are some of the wonderful responses that shape our bodies and fill our spirits with a lasting plenitude. Markus' frank and rich poetry shows this to us as he relates the elements to wine and pencils, music and lamps, mirrors and the courtship of butterflies. From verse to verse, the periodic table becomes no longer a rigid information scheme, but a window into creation and its most precious truth, which is life."—Fl via Alvares Ganem, Brazilian poet
