I see my Bible on the seat of my pickup, the cover made up of circles and squares. In the bottom right–hand corner, a diamond inside a square. I visualized a diamond inside a square inside the diagram of the Vitruvian Man. I imagine the diamond spinning on its axes within the square, picking up speed, the engines of my mind picking up momentum, always in a constant perpetual state of motion, what image was I seeing now? The diamond in the square reminded me of all the times in the Bible where men had built altars inside the temples. The dimensions of the ark of the covenant, Noah's ark, the Fibonacci sequence, the golden ratio, phi, all seeming to fit inside this diagram. Through the cross is salvation; I draw a cross within the diamond inside the square, forming twelve triangles within the diagram. My mind was being overwhelmed, but he knew each day what I was able to handle. Was the diamond inside the square a representation of an altar built within a temple? Could the twelve triangles formed in the diagram represent the twelve gates of heaven? Had the Vitruvian just spun another secret into my mind? My puppy Chloe, and I walk around Friendship Landing enjoying the warmth of the afternoon sun, listening to the wind rustle through the tops of the trees, the water trickling though the rocks. After I ask for guidance, I think about Crystal. Obviously, my addiction right now is her, it is my pursuit of love, of understanding what love is. As I walk around Friendship Landing, the tide was as high as I had ever seen it, and the knots in my stomach were tighter than ever, for I knew Crystal was-at this moment-probably reading Tomorrow Is a New Day. Yesterday, someone had placed stickers on rocks around the pathway of Elsa the Ice Queen, who had always reminded me of Crystal in appearance. I thought perhaps it may have been a sign to not give her a copy of the book. My anxiety was climaxed, the corners of my mind were taking over my entire square of existence. How could I win Crystal's love, prove my love for her? How could I show her everything in the world was connected? Could I explain to her the true secret of the Da Vinci code? Could I liberate her mind from the prism of this world? Could I make the most beautiful diamond in the world understand the equation for sin, grace, love, and salvation are one and the same? If I couldn't win her love, could I save her soul? Could I show her where the beast resides, where the all–seeing eye watches from? Could I show her the twelve gates of heaven, the door to heaven, and give her the key to the Emerald City? I will try because I am persistent, I am in love with the woman in the red dress, and because I am L. L. Grace.

The second day's fighting at Gettysburg--the assault of the Army of Northern Virginia against the Army of the Potomac on 2 July 1863--was probably the critical engagement of that decisive battle and, therefore, among the most significant actions of the Civil War. Harry Pfanz, a former historian at Gettysburg National Military Park, has written a definitive account of the second day's brutal combat. He begins by introducing the men and units that were to do battle, analyzing the strategic intentions of Lee and Meade as commanders of the opposing armies, and describing the concentration of forces in the area around Gettysburg. He then examines the development of tactical plans and the deployment of troops for the approaching battle. But the emphasis is on the fighting itself. Pfanz provides a thorough account of the Confederates' smashing assaults -- at Devil's Den and Litle Round Top, through the Wheatfield and the Peach Orchard, and against the Union center at Cemetery Ridge. He also details the Union defense that eventually succeeded in beating back these assaults, depriving Lee's gallant army of victory. Pfanz analyzes decisions and events that have sparked debate for more than a century. In particular he discusses factors underlying the Meade-Sickles controversy and the questions about Longstreet's delay in attacking the Union left. The narrative is also enhanced by thirteen superb maps, more than eighty illustrations, brief portraits of the leading commanders, and observations on artillery, weapons, and tactics that will be of help even to knowledgeable readers. Gettysburg--The Second Day is certain to become a Civil War classic. What makes the work so authoritative is Pfanz' mastery of the Gettysburg literature and his unparalleled knowledge of the ground on which the fighting occurred. His sources include the Official Records, regimental histories and personal reminiscences from soldiers North and South, personal papers and diaries, newspaper files, and last -- but assuredly not least -- the Gettysburg battlefield. Pfanz's career in the National Park Service included a ten-year assignment as a park historian at Gettysburg. Without doubt, he knows the terrain of the battle as well as he knows the battle itself.

“Emphasize[s] the role of Winfield Scott Hancock . . . [and] the Second Corps in plugging the gap and saving the day for the Union.” —Gettysburg Magazine On the afternoon of July 2, 1863, Lt. Gen. James Longstreet struck the Union left flank with a massive blow that collapsed Dan Sickles’ advanced position in the Peach Orchard and rolled northward, tearing open a large gap in the center of the Federal line on Cemetery Ridge. Fresh Confederates from A. P. Hill’s Corps advanced toward the mile-wide breach, where Southern success would split the Army of the Potomac in two. The fate of the Battle of Gettysburg hung in the balance. Despite the importance of the position, surprisingly few Union troops were available to defend Cemetery Ridge. Major General Winfield S. Hancock’s veteran Second Corps had been whittled from three divisions to less than one after Gibbon’s division was sucked into earlier fighting and Caldwell’s command was shattered in the Wheatfield. With little time and few men, Hancock determined to plug the yawning gap. Reprising Horatio at the Bridge, the gallant commander cobbled together various commands and refused to yield the precious acres in Plum Run ravine. The swirling seesaw fighting lasted for hours and included hand-to-hand combat and personal heroics of which legends are made. The Second Day at Gettysburg expands on David Shultz and David Wieck’s critically acclaimed earlier work The Battle Between the Farm Lanes. This completely revised and expanded study, which includes new photographs, original maps, and a self-guided tour of the fighting, is grounded in extensive research and unmatched personal knowledge of the terrain.

Timothy Williams was selected by The Observer as one of the “10 Best Modern European Crime Writers” for his series featuring Northern Italian police detective Piero Trotti. Now, 20 years after his last investigation, Trotti returns! After decades as a police detective in his Northern Italian hometown on the River Po, Commissario Piero Trotti has retired. But retirement brings him no respite. An old friend calls him to Siena to give him urgent news: a notorious hit man has returned to Italy to kill Trotti. The former inspector isn’t surprised to learn of the vendetta against him; Trotti has plenty of skeletons in his closet. His mistaken accusations and failed gambles have cost innocent lives in the course of his investigations. Though Trotti carries the burden of these deaths with him each day, now someone else has appeared to enact his own, long-awaited retribution. Traveling across Italy to escape his pursuer, Trotti revisits his own past and searches for clues to the cold-case murder of Valerio Gracchi, a leftist radical who became a national media sensation. But even the right answers may not save Trotti and his loved ones.

For good reason, the second and third days of the Battle of Gettysburg have received the lion's share of attention from historians. With this book, however, the critical first day's fighting finally receives its due. After sketching the background of the Gettysburg campaign and recounting the events immediately preceding the battle, Harry Pfanz offers a detailed tactical description of events of the first day. He describes the engagements in McPherson Woods, at the Railroad Cuts, on Oak Ridge, on Seminary Ridge, and at Blocher's Knoll, as well as the retreat of Union forces through Gettysburg and the Federal rally on Cemetery Hill. Throughout, he draws on deep research in published and archival sources to challenge many long-held assumptions about the battle.
