Cat's Paw by Roger Scarlett Pdf

When a wealthy bachelor is murdered in his baroque Boston mansion, a bizarre clue holds the key to whodunnit Martin Greenough’s walled-off mansion is the last remaining holdout in the Boston parkland known as the Fenway—and the fact that it eluded condemnation by the city is a testament to the elderly bachelor’s great wealth. Childless and nearing the end of his life, he surrounds himself with only his cat, his servants, and a friend, Mrs. Warden—to say nothing of the circle of extended family members whose lives he both subsidizes and rules from afar, the nieces and nephews who all seem to be more fond of Uncle Mart’s money than they are of his character. On the eve of his birthday, Greenough requests the presence of his heirs at his home, insisting that he has something important to discuss. Before that discussion can take place, though, the man is murdered in his study. In one way or another nearly everyone there would benefit by his death, and none gathered seem terribly upset by it, so finding the culprit is no easy task for Inspector Kane of the Boston PD. But as he untangles the threads and unburies dark family secrets, the discovery of a bizarre clue might hold the key to solving the crime. A classical “closed circle” mystery featuring a colorful cast of characters, Cat’s Paw exemplifies the puzzling, house-bound tales for which Roger Scarlett is remembered today. It is sure to delight any fan of pure, Golden Age detective stories—especially those with a love of architecturally-focused plots. Includes discussion guide questions for use in book clubs.

The Cat's Paw by Raymond J. Radner Pdf

Regina Marcott has come a long way from the laid-back California campuses of the ‘70’s. She’s a high powered, high tech pioneer in micromechanics with a penchant for robots. The physicist creates a miniature marvel; a robot small enough to fit inside a human ear with an endearing personality big enough to crawl inside her heart. Regina savors her success with close friend Rud Moryn, who shares it with his White House cronies. Their reactions range from outright admiration to sinister speculation. For while the creation Regina calls Ring is a stunning innovation and a scientific breakthrough, he is also irresistible to the forces who recognizes the power and potential of this ultimate surveillance weapon—the world’s spies. Rud’s old college pal John Klingman, now the President’s chief of staff, sees much more than Ring’s miraculous metallic mechanics, he sees millions of dollars in his pocket. Willing to sell out his country for cold cash, he will stop at nothing—and only Regina and Rud can save Ring from a man made inhuman by obsessive greed.

Cats' Paws and Catapults: Mechanical Worlds of Nature and People by Steven Vogel Pdf

"Full of ideas and well-explained principles that will bring new understanding of everyday things to both scientists and non-scientists alike."—R. McNeill Alexander, Nature Nature and humans build their devices with the same earthly materials and use them in the same air and water, pulled by the same gravity. Why, then, do their designs diverge so sharply? Humans, for instance, love right angles, while nature's angles are rarely right and usually rounded. Our technology goes around on wheels—and on rotating pulleys, gears, shafts, and cams—yet in nature only the tiny propellers of bacteria spin as true wheels. Our hinges turn because hard parts slide around each other, whereas nature's hinges (a rabbit's ear, for example) more often swing by bending flexible materials. In this marvelously surprising, witty book, Steven Vogel compares these two mechanical worlds, introduces the reader to his field of biomechanics, and explains how the nexus of physical law, size, and convenience of construction determine the designs of both people and nature. "This elegant comparison of human and biological technology will forever change the way you look at each."—Michael LaBarbera, American Scientist
