""Pekar's most poignant and satisfying effort to date."—THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW"Dean Haspiel. . . .performs with virtuoso flair in THE QUITTER"—THE NEW YORKER"Brutally honest."—ROLLING STONE★"A searingly honest memoir. . . .

And when he failed to impress, whether on the football team, in math class, in the Navy or on the job, he simply gave up. A true tour-de-force, THE QUITTER is the universal tale of a young man's search for himself through the frustrations, redemptions and complexities of ordinary life.With gritty, atmospheric artwork by indie-comics luminary Dean Haspiel (American Splendor, Opposable Thumbs), THE QUITTER is both Pekar's funniest and most heart-wrenching work yet, an unforgettable graphic novel for all those, like Pekar, who have tried, failed and lived to quit another day.

In many areas of the United States plumbing vents are sealed with lead. Unfortunately, squirrels like to gnaw on the lead and tear it open, potentially causing roof leaks. Over time, these leaks can cause significant damage. In addition plumbing vents are a major entry point for frogs, rats and other animals to enter into toilets. In the past the only way to repair this was to call a contractor, have them pull shingles, replace the lead and put a screen on the repaired vent. A repair that requires shingle removal rarely looks good potentially exposes damage and is expensive. Critter Quitter offers a cost effective and attractive solution to this problem. A home owner can repair their damaged plumbing vents without having to remove shingles or call a professional. Simply cut the unit to match your roof pitch, slide the unit onto the damaged vent and secure with 4 stainless steel screws (provided). The internal component will direct rain water into the vent keeping the damaged portion dry and keep animals out of plumbing. The unit is easily removed if plumbing vent access is required. Size: small. Material: Plastic.

Hermes Trismegiste, d'apres la tradition, avant de quitter notre monde, a laisse aux hommes une sorte de concentre de ses doctrines et enseignements de sagesse: la Table d'Emeraude. C'est ce texte infiniment celebre chez les hermetistes, mais bien peu lu, parce que l'on n'en trouvait aucune edition, que nous entreprenons de donner aujourd'hui. On trouvera ici plusieurs versions anciennes du texte, y compris ce qui est le texte le plus ancien accessible actuellement: une version arabe du VIe siecle. Nous lui avons joint divers essais de traductions francaises des XVe-XVIe siecles et plusieurs commentaires d'auteurs aussi prestigieux que Roger Bacon ou Michel Maier, qui temoignent de la fascination que ce texte n'a pas cesse d'exercer depuis qu'il est connu. Plusieurs illustrations montrent egalement que la Table d'Emeraude a ete une source d'inspiration pour l'iconographie alchimique. Une grande partie des traductions ici presentees est inedite.

Cinq : c’est le nombre de fois où la vie de Jeannot n’a tenu qu’à un fil. Il n’a pas encore dix ans lorsque la guerre éclate et qu’il doit quitter Anvers pour se cacher avec d’autres enfants juifs et des résistants dans un château des Ardennes belges. Grâce à une série d’heureux coups du sort, il va traverser les rafles, les camps d’emprisonnement et échapper à la déportation comme un « miraculé », en survivant toujours. L’histoire de Jeannot c’est celle, fabuleuse et pourtant vraie, de l’auteur lui-même, Jean Arouete. Dans ce premier livre touchant, préfacé par Elie Wiesel, il nous offre dans un style sobre et d’une grande sincérité, le récit de son enfance « sauvée » au milieu de tant d’autres qui ne le furent pas. Comme pour tenir à distance ces moments sombres de l’Occupation, il mêle à ses propres souvenirs l’histoire de sa mère Linda et de son grand amour, Edwin. Fuyant les conventions sociales de la bourgeoisie turque ou égyptienne à laquelle ils appartiennent, ils iront vivre pleinement leur amour à Paris malgré les bouleversements de leur temps.

Ctesias, medecin grec contemporaind'Hippocrate, vecut a la cour perse du temps des luttes fratricides opposant Cyrus a Artaxerxes. Il mit ses talents au service de la famille royale, non seulement comme medecin, mais aussi comme diplomate, avant de quitter la cour, aux environs de 398 avant J.-C., dans des circonstances mysterieuses. Ce n'est qu'a son retour en Grece qu'il composa les Persica, vaste fresque en 23 livres, relatant l'histoire de l'Assyrie et de la Perse depuis le roi Ninos, fondateur de l'empire assyrien, jusqu'a Artaxerxes, que Ctesias cotoya personnellement. Les Indica, recits ethnographiques, decrivent l'Inde, monde des confins ou l'humain et l'inhumain, le monstrueux et le merveilleux voisinent et se melent. La presente edition, inestimable travail scientifique, vient de combler une lacune en regroupant la totalite des fragments de Ctesias ainsi que les temoignages a son sujet. Une notice extremement riche et documentee offre une somme de l'ensemble des connaissances sur l'auteur, un essai de reconstitution de chaque oeuvre ainsi qu'un historique precis des textes et de la methode d'etablissement du corpus. Des notes accompagnent la lecture et sont approfondies par des notes de commentaire a la fin du livre. L'ouvrage est assorti d'annexes ou le lecteur trouvera une liste des rois des Persica, une chronologie, l'arbre genealogique des Achemenides ainsi que des cartes. Une table des fragments, une longue bibliographie et un index viennent encore enrichir notre edition.

You can't go home again... What do you do when home is a conspiracy that's been discovered and destroyed? When home is a planet in a star system that's gone missing? When home means working for the destroyers of galaxies? When home is a spaceship that's calling out to the enemy? Cantra 'yos Phelium isn't a quitter, but she has more than a little problem: the Enemy has accelerated its attacks and how do you fight an Enemy whose major form of attack is the de-crystallization of everything around itself? A smuggler with a rogue soldier for a co-pilot, and a tree with an attitude for crew, Cantra's the only one who can get close to the man who holds equations that might, that just might - thwart the Enemy. All she has to do is help a young pilot from a missing world, juggle a slippery promise she never quite made to a pair of wizards, and then forget who she is along with everything, and everyone, she's ever known.

Terry Fox, the one-legged runner from Port Coquitlam, British Columbia, made an indelible impression upon people across Canada and around the world. An outstanding athlete with a stubborn and competitive spirit, he lost his leg to cancer at 19, but said “nobody is ever going to call me a quitter.”On April 12, 1980, Terry Fox set out from St. John’s, Newfoundland to begin the run across Canada that he named the Marathon of Hope. His ambition was to raise a million dollars for cancer research. It wasn’t easy. Initial support from communities varied from terrific to nothing at all. His prosthetic leg was painful to run on, and there were always traffic and extreme weather conditions to deal with. But, by the time he reached Ontario – a journey of more than 3,000 kilometres – word of his achievement had spread, and thousands cheered him and followed his progress. Terry’s spirits soared, and now he hoped to raise $22 million dollars – one dollar for every Canadian. He succeeded in this ambition, but the Marathon of Hope ended near Thunder Bay, Ontario on September 1, 1980. The cancer had spread to his lungs, and, after running 24 miles in one day, on the next he could run no further.When cancer finally claimed his life in 1981, Canada mourned the loss of a hero, but the Terry Fox Marathon of Hope lives on. The Terry Fox Foundation raised more than $17 million in 1999, and support for the event nationally and around the world is growing.
