Christopher Moore: Practical Demonkeeping

Practical Demonkeeping


Description

In Christopher Moore's ingenious debut novel, we meet one of the most memorably mismatched pairs in the annals of literature. The good-looking one is one-hundred-year-old ex-seminarian and "roads" scholar Travis O'Hearn. The green one is Catch, a demon with a nasty habit of eating most of the people he meets. Behind the fake Tudor facade of Pine Cove, California, Catch sees a four-star buffet. Travis, on the other hand, thinks he sees a way of ridding himself of his toothy traveling companion. The winos, neo-pagans, and deadbeat Lotharios of Pine Cove, meanwhile, have other ideas. And none of them is quite prepared when all hell breaks loose.

Illustrated in color throughout, the book tells the human and often-surprising stories behind the invention or discovery of the equations, from how a bad cigar changed the course of quantum mechanics to why whales (if they could communicate with us) would teach us a totally different concept of geometry. At the same time, the book shows why these equations have something timeless to say about the universe, and how they do it with an economy (zero words) that no other form of human expression can match. The Universe in Zero Words is the ultimate introduction and guide to equations that have changed the world. 74.   Tracts / Nuclei of Cerebral Hemispheres Captain Underpants meets Star Wars in this hilariously funny series. Cosmoe, Princess Dagger, Humphree and the gang are back for another wild space adventure. Humphree's all jazzed up at the chance to sell Galactic Hot Dogs at Crostini's Cosmic Carnival and Wonder Circus train. Cosmoe's not entirely convinced, but once his skills as a monster tamer are unveiled, the deal is done and the neon wiener officially joins the train. Only things aren't quite what they seem at this circus, and pretty soon Cosmoe realizes he and his buddies are in more danger than ever. To get to the bottom of it all, they have to travel somewhere pretty familiar, giving readers a glimpse at last into Cosmoe's past and how he ended up aboard the Wiener in the first place.
