Welcome to Serendipity, a small town where time has no meaning and nothing changes. A town where you can find the most ordinary people living the most ordinary lives. A town where you would never expect to find anything extraordinary. But in this town, there is one exception. Her name is Ava, and she is the most beautiful girl in Serendipity. She works at the local coffee shop, where she spreads joy and warmth to everyone. She dreams of finding true love, a soulmate who can fill her heart and soul with passion and adventure. She never thought he would come to Serendipity, of all places. His name is Ethan, the hottest guy in Serendipity. He arrives in the town, looking for a place to hide and heal. He has a dark past that haunts him, a past he wants to forget and keep secret. Ethan and Ava are not the only ones who have secrets. Serendipity is not what it seems. It is a town where time is warped, reality is twisted, and nothing is as it seems. They are about to discover the truth behind their existence, a truth that will rock their world and challenge their love.

In this intellectual history of America's two-party system, Donald V. Weatherman grapples with the central issue confronting political parties: What role should they play within a constitutional government?: By examining three major efforts at party reform-the Progressive movement, efforts to develop a responsible party system in the 1950s and 1960s, and Democratic nominating system reforms between 1968 and 1988-Weatherman shows how we have lost sight of the founders' original intentions to create a party system that would enhance the democratic tendencies of our political system while strengthening our constitutional structure.

Brevity may be the soul of wit, but it is also much more. In this exploration of the shortest literary works—wise sayings, proverbs, witticisms, sardonic observations about human nature, pithy evocations of mystery, terse statements regarding ultimate questions—Gary Saul Morson argues passionately for the importance of these short genres not only to scholars but also to general readers. We are fascinated by how brief works evoke a powerful sense of life in a few words, which is why we browse quotation anthologies and love to repeat our favorites. Arguing that all short genres are short in their own way, Morson explores the unique form of brevity that each of them develops. Apothegms (Heraclitus, Lao Tzu, Wittgenstein) describe the universe as ultimately unknowable, offering not answers but ever deeper questions. Dicta (Spinoza, Marx, Freud) create the sense that unsolvable enigmas have at last been resolved. Sayings from sages and sacred texts assure us that goodness is rewarded, while sardonic maxims (Ecclesiastes, Nietzsche, George Eliot) uncover the self-deceptions behind such comforting illusions. Just as witticisms display the power of mind, "witlessisms" (William Spooner, Dan Quayle, the persona assumed by Mark Twain) astonish with their spectacular stupidity. Nothing seems further from these short works than novels and epics, but the shortest genres often set the tone for longer ones, which, in turn, contain brilliant examples of short forms. Morson shows that short genres contribute important insights into the history of literature and philosophical thought. Once we grasp the role of aphorisms in Herodotus, Samuel Johnson, Dostoevsky, and even Tolstoy, we see their masterpieces in an entirely new light.

REPLACEMENT CELL The oil companies ruled the world. Clar Dalen intended to change that. As a brilliant researcher and professor at UCLA, with a unique perspective on problem solving, he was working on discovering an alternative, renewable energy source. He was so close to an answer, when fate intervened. Clar, still drawn to his roots as an activist in the 60s, participates in a sit-in rally at a local Bertrand Oil drilling rig. The protest rally goes horribly wrong, resulting in the de
