No rest for this superhero, not when the woods are full of treachery for his animal friends. Wiley the Whippet, Superhero to the rescue! Says author Karolyn Emore, Wiley the Whippet, Superhero was inspired by my own Whippet, Wiley. Known as the Ferrari of dogs, Whippets have impeccable speed, reaching up to 35 miles per hour. They are also known for their agility, being able to turn corners on a dime. Our Wiley would race around the yard chasing squirrels and jump over branches with ease and grace. It only seemed fitting that he became a superhero. Our Wiley has passed on and is currently sprinting up and down in Doggie Heaven. Karolyn Emore resides in Holly Springs, N.C.When I am not teaching, I enjoy spending time with my three daughters, Paige, Julia and Brooke, and with my amazing husband, Geoff. We play tennis, swim, go for bike rides or just hang out with our two dogs, Butler, a Great Dane, and Kathy, our newest Whippet. http: //sbpra.com/KarolynEmor

Battling bad guys. High-tech hideouts. The gratitude of the masses. Who at some point in their life hasn't dreamed of being a superhero? Impossible, right? Or is it? Possessing no supernatural powers, Batman is the most realistic of all the superheroes. His feats are achieved through rigorous training and mental discipline, and with the aid of fantastic gadgets. Drawing on his training as a neuroscientist, kinesiologist, and martial artist, E. Paul Zehr explores the question: Could a mortal ever become Batman? Zehr discusses the physical training necessary to maintain bad-guy-fighting readiness while relating the science underlying this process, from strength conditioning to the cognitive changes a person would endure in undertaking such a regimen. In probing what a real-life Batman could achieve, Zehr considers the level of punishment a consummately fit and trained person could handle, how hard and fast such a person could punch and kick, and the number of adversaries that individual could dispatch. He also tells us what it would be like to fight while wearing a batsuit and the amount of food we'd need to consume each day to maintain vigilance as Gotham City's guardian. A fun foray of escapism grounded in sound science, Becoming Batman provides the background for attaining the realizable—though extreme—level of human performance that would allow you to be a superhero.

The little girl appeared in Central Park: red-haired, blue-eyed, smiling, perfect - except for the blood on her shoulder. It fell from the sky, she said, while she was looking for her uncle, who turned into a tree. Poor child, people thought. And then they found the body in the tree. For NYPD detective, Kathy Mallory, there is something about the girl that she understands. Mallory is damaged, they say, but she can tell a kindred spirit. And this one will lead her to a story of extraordinary crimes; murders stretching back fifteen years, blackmail and complicity and a particular cruelty that only someone with Mallory's history could fully recognise. In the next few weeks, Kathy Mallory will deal with them all ... in her own way.
