Book Description

This volume provides the first comprehensive overview of the modern use of ultraviolet laser radiation in the processing of materials. Lasers operating at ultraviolet wavelengths combine the ability to vaporize the most refractory of materials with the precision to ablate micron-sized holes in polymers and remove thin layers from the cornea for corrective surgery of the human eye. This book explores the use of UV laser radiation for the ablation and deposition of metals, insulating solids, polymers, semiconductors and superconductors. It emphasizes the physical mechanisms accompanying these processes and the conversion of intense UV radiation to photothermal and photochemical energy in irradiated materials. This will be an invaluable sourcebook of current information in the rapidly developing field of laser applications for engineers, scientists, researchers and students in universities, government laboratories and the private sector. A valuable supplementary text for graduate courses in materials science.

Book Description

Millions of readers around the world have fallen in love with the novels of the New York Times bestselling author Adriana Trigiani. In Home to Big Stone Gap, she tells her most powerful story yet, full of humor and heart, wisdom and hope.

Nestled in the lush Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, the town of Big Stone Gap has been home for Ave Maria Mulligan Machesney and her family for generations. She’s been married to her beloved Jack for nearly twenty years, raised one child and buried another, and run a business that binds her community together, all while holding her tight circle of family and friends close.

But with her daughter, Etta, having flown the nest to enchanting Italy, Ave Maria has reached a turning point. When a friend’s postcard arrives with the message “It’s time to live your life for you,” Ave Maria realizes that it’s time to go in search of brand-new dreams. But before she can put her foot on the path, her life is turned upside down.

Ave Maria agrees to helm the town musical, a hilarious reunion of local talent past and present. A lifelong friendship collapses when a mysterious stranger comes to town and reveals a long-buried secret. An unexpected health crisis threatens her family. An old heartthrob reappears, challenging her marriage and offering a way out of her troubles. An opportunistic coal company comes to town and threatens to undermine the town’s way of life and the mountain landscape Ave Maria has treasured since she was a girl. Now she has no choice but to reinvent her world, her life, and herself, whether she wants to or not.
Trigiani is at her best in this exquisite page-turner. Home to Big Stone Gap is an emotional and unforgettable journey that reminds us that you can go home again and again.

From BOOKLIST
*STAR* Trigiani, Adriana. Home to Big Stone Gap. Nov. 2006. 301p. Random, $25.95 (1-4000-6008-7).
Tucked in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia is Big Stone Gap, the bucolic backdrop for Trigiani’s popular series. In this fourth entry, Ave Maria Mulligan MacChesney and her husband, Jack, must come to terms with the absence of daughter Etta, newly married and living in Italy. (The country holds a special place in Ave Maria’s heart: her biological father, Mario, whom she learned of and met only after her mother’s death, is Italian). Ave Maria has plenty to keep her mind off missing her only child (the MacChesney’s son, Joe, died of leukemia at age four). She’s a full-time pharmacist and the newly appointed director of the town’s annual musical. Then comes news that her longtime friend, glamorous librarian Iva Lou, has been keeping a startling secret for nearly 20 years. Other developments, including a health scare for Jack and a Christmas visit from a colorful former resident, move the plot along briskly. With her original cast of characters, playwright and television writer Trigiani blends playfulness and pathos in this evocative portrait of a small southern town. Fans of the Big Stone Gap series can look forward to a feature film; Trigiani has written the screenplay and is slated to direct. –Allison Block
"Is there ever trouble for Ave Maria Mulligan MacChesney, heroine of Trigiani's beloved Big Stone Gap novels, starting with her married daughter's move to Italy and leading right up to a stranger's disturbing appearance in town."–Library Journal

Praise for the Big Stone Gap novels:
“Delightfully quirky . . . chock-full of engaging, oddball characters and unexpected plot twists.”

Boring..boring..boring.......2007-10-10

After reading the delightful book Queen of the Big Time, I was very disappointed in this book by Adriana Trigani. Somehow it just didn't work. I stuggled to find a plot and to discover in-depth characters who held my interest.

Read her other books first.......2007-09-29

Here I am a book lover and had not read any of Adriana Trigiani's books. Luckily I started with her series on Big Stone Gap. There are 3 of them. Read these first, then finish with the Home to Big Stone Gap. She is a witty but insightful author. She brings chuckles, tears and even good recipe's to the reader. You will not be disapointed!

GOOD READ.......2007-06-01

I BOUGHT THIS FOR MY AUNT. SHE IS FROM THIS PART OF THE COUNTRY. AND SHE ENJOYED READING ABOUT PLACES SHE KNEW.

Time to move on from Big Stone Gap.......2007-05-10

I have really enjoyed this series of books, but this one seemed "forced." I agree with another reiviewr that this book seemed not like a novel, but more of a diary. At the end of the books, usually everything comes together and you feel like you "got" something from the book. When I finished this book, I realized there was absolutely no plot and nothing really happened with the characters. It was really boring, big disappointment.

Decent Read.......2007-04-22

I have to agree with another poster that Ave comes across as a bit of a whiner in this book. Still, I do enjoy the series and was interested to see how things are going for everyone in Big Stone Gap.

Book Description

BIG CHERRY HOLLER, the extraordinary sequel to BIG STONE GAP, takes us back to the mountain life that enchanted us in Adriana Trigiani’s best selling debut novel. It’s been eight years since the town pharmacist and long time spinster Ave Maria Mulligan married coal miner Jack MacChesney. With her new found belief in love and its possibilities, Ave Maria makes a life for herself and her growing family, hoping that her fearless leap into commitment will make happiness stay. What she didn’t count on was that fate, life, and the ghosts of the past would come to haunt her and, eventually, test the love she has for her husband. The mountain walls that have protected her all of her life can not spare Ave Maria the life lessons she must learn.

BIG CHERRY HOLLER is the story of a marriage, revealing the deep secrets, the power struggle, the betrayal and the unmet expectations that exist between husband and wife. It is the story of a community that must reinvent itself as it comes to grips with the decline of the coal mining industry. It is the story of an extended family, the people of Big Stone Gap, who are there for one another especially when times are tough —including bookmobile librarian and sexpert Iva Lou Wade Makin, savvy businesswoman Pearl Grimes, crusty cashier Fleeta Mullins, and Rescue Squad captain Spec Broadwater, who faces the complications of his double life. Ave Maria’s best friend Theodore Tipton, now band director at the University of Tennessee, continues to be her chief counselor and conscience as he reaches the pinnacle of marching band success.

When Ave Maria takes her daughter to Italy for the summer, she meets a handsome stranger who offers her a life beyond the Blue Ridge Mountains. Ave Maria is forced to confront what is truly important: to her, to her marriage, and to her family. Brimming with humor, wisdom, honesty, and the drama and local color of mountain life from Virginia to Italy, BIG CHERRY HOLLER is a deeply felt, brilliantly evoked story of two lovers who have lost their way and their struggle to find one another again.

From the Hardcover edition.

Excellent Book! .......2007-10-01

I had never read any books by this author before this series. I'm hooked, she is a great writer & her books are fantastic!

Life goes on..........2007-01-04

Following on from Big Stone Gap, part 2 of Trigiani's trilogy picks up Ave Maria's life 8 years after her marriage to Jack.
Darker, sadder but more honest and insightful than Big Stone Gap, Big Cherry Holler faces up to the fact that
a) life isn't always a bed of roses
b) people often screw up
... but it doesn't have to be the end of the world when it happens.

NB: I'd ordered this at the same time as Big Stone Gap, and enjoyed reading them back-to-back, while the characters and `history'of Big Stone Gap was still fresh in my mind.

The second of the "Big Stone Gap" quartet.......2006-09-09

In this sequel to "Big Stone Gap," it's eight years after Ave Maria and Jack began their lives together. They are struggling to give 10-year-old daughter Etta a normal childhood, while mourning the sudden death of four-year-old Joe several years earlier.

Largely due to their intense sorrow, Ave Maria and Jack begin drifting apart. Ave Maria begins to suspect her husband of intimacy with Karen Bell, a woman he met through work; and she herself is faced with a difficult decision after meeting a man on a trip to her relatives in Italy.

The humorous color of the side characters first introduced in the previous novel balances well with the seriousness of the MacChesney family's problems. It also gives hope that in the end, what's good will prevail.

This book is the second of the "Big Stone Gap" quartet; the fourth book is scheduled for release at the end of October 2006.

Another excellent book by Trigiani.......2006-05-24

I loved this book, just as I like the first one, Big Stone Gap. I can't get enough of Ave Maria, Jack and Etta. I look forward to Milk Glass Moon.

What a bummer.......2006-02-18

After the magic and suble romance of the first, this one was a real bummer. No love, no magic...at least not in the first chapter or two. I didn't make it any further because it was just too danged depressing with no sign of happiness on down the road.

Book Description

Milk Glass Moon, the third book in Adriana Trigiani's bestselling Big Stone Gap series, continues the life story of Ave Maria Mulligan MacChesney as she faces the challenges and changes of motherhood with her trademark humor and honesty. With twists as plentiful as those found on the holler roads of southwest Virginia, this story takes turns that will surprise and enthrall the reader.

Transporting us from Ave Maria's home in the Blue Ridge Mountains to the Italian Alps, from New York City to the Tuscan countryside, Milk Glass Moon is the story of a shifting mother-daughter relationship, of a daughter's first love and a mother's heartbreak, of an enduring marriage that contains its own ongoing challenges, and of a community faced with seismic change.

All of Trigiani's beloved characters are back: Jack Mac, Ave Maria's true love, who is willing to gamble security for the unknown; her best friend and confidant, bandleader Theodore Tip-ton, who begins a new life in New York City; librarian and sexpert Iva Lou Wade Makin, who faces a life-or-death crisis. Meanwhile, surprises emerge in the blossoming of crusty cashier Fleeta Mullins, the maturing of mountain girl turned savvy businesswoman Pearl Grimes, and the return of Pete Rutledge, the handsome stranger who turned Ave Maria's world upside down in Big Cherry Holler.

In this rollicking hayride of upheaval and change, Ave Maria is led to places she never dreamed she would go, and to people who enter her life and rock its foundation. As Ave Maria reaches into the past to find answers to the present, readers will stay with her every step of the way, rooting for the onetime town spinster who embraced love and made a family. Milk Glass Moon is about the power of love and its abiding truth, and captures Trigiani at her most lyrical and heartfelt.

Great book! Author is awesome. First time reading her books & really enjoyed the triology.

I BOUGHT THIS FOR MY STEPMOTHER AND AUNT. THEY BOTH LIKE HER BOOKS REALLY WELL.

Milk Glass Moon.......2007-02-11

I have loved all of the Big Stone Gap Novels - "Milk Glass Moon" is the third in this series which will charm anyone who enjoys a kind of "down home" story, as we journey through life with Ave Maria, her husband,Jack, and their daughter, Etta, and all their friends in Big Stone Gap. I call this one of my "feel good" books (Please note, I feel the same way about Fannie Flagg's books) - you want to pack up and move to Big Stone Gap and be a part of their lives.

The third book in the "Big Stone Gap" quartet.......2006-09-09

After following the troubled MacChesney marriage in the second book, readers now focus on the adolescent Etta as she struggles with growing up. Her mother Ave Maria, too, has difficulty allowing her daughter this passage, especially after losing her toddler son Joe to leukemia.

Yet, like her mother, Etta promises to become a strong young woman. This doesn't make the MacChesneys any easier, though, when longtime family friend Stefano Grassi comes to visit from Italy...

This book is the second of the "Big Stone Gap" quartet; the fourth book is scheduled for release at the end of October 2006.

Wonderful book!.......2006-05-24

Like the 2 previous novels about Big Stone Gap and the MacChesney, I love this one too! I am glad to see that there is another book, The Return to Big Stone Gap, coming out in September.

In the town of Big Stone Gap, Virginia, not much happens. The highlight of 35-year-old Ave Maria Mulligan's week comes on Friday, with the arrival of the Bookmobile, the sight of which sends her into raptures. Her favorite book concerns the ancient Chinese art of reading faces. Through her face-readings, we come to understand the hostilities simmering within her family: her father whose small eyes are the clear "sign of a deceptive nature." Her aunt who "has a small head and thin lips. (That's a terrible combination.)" Adriana Trigiani's first novel concerns the family scandals that befall Ave Maria in this seemingly uneventful town. Greed, lust, envy--all the ancient emotional elements--manifest themselves even in this hamlet of "ordinary folk." Fans of Fannie Flagg or Rebecca Wells will enjoy this down-home tale, full of small, everyday details and colloquial revelations. The writing is often awkward, but so too are the characters who inhabit this place: the Bookmobile lady who thinks of herself as the sexiest woman alive; the amateur actors in the local Outdoor Drama who bristle with ambition when they hear that Elizabeth Taylor is coming to visit. In Big Stone Gap, her visit is so anticipated, it's like she's an angel sent from heaven. --Ellen Williams

Book Description

Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, the tiny town of Big Stone Gap is home to some of the most charming eccentrics in the state. Ave Maria Mulligan is the town's self-proclaimed spinster, a thirty-five year old pharmacist with a "mountain girl's body and a flat behind." She lives an amiable life with good friends and lots of hobbies until the fateful day in 1978 when she suddenly discovers that she's not who she always thought she was. Before she can blink, Ave's fielding marriage proposals, fighting off greedy family members, organizing a celebration for visiting celebrities, and planning the trip of a lifetime—a trip that could change her view of the world and her own place in it forever. Brimming with humor and wise notions of small-town life, Big Stone Gap is a gem of a book with a giant heart. . . .

At first I thought this book was chick lit. But realized it has more substance. After I finished it, I thought I did not like it. But, the characters are still with me. It was very happily ever after. Which I usually don't like. But, it was a fun read. And much more substance than chick lit. I highly recommend it.

GOOD READ .......2007-06-01

BOUGHT THIS FOR MY AUNT. SHE IS FROM THIS AREA. AND ENJOYS READING ABOUT THE PLACES SHE KNOWS.

Tangled and impersonal.......2007-05-07

At thirty-five, Ave Maria Mulligan feels like the spinster of Big Stone Gap, Virginia, the small mountain town where she has lived most of her life. Grieving the recent death of her mother, Ave Maria plans to go to Italy and meet her mother's family for the first time.

Ever read a book where you feel like you don't know the main character any better in the last chapter than you did in the first chapter? That's what this was for me. I watched Ave Maria do many things in her thirty-fifth year, but I never felt like I really understood her or what she wanted. It's possible that there was too much going on here. When I began this novel, I thought it was going to going to focus on Ave Maria's family relationships and her love life, but no, it focuses on everyone else in town as well: the sexy Bookmobile librarian who after decades of living like a Cosmo girl decides to settle down (even though the reader never sees her significant other do anything interesting enough to cause an independent forty-something woman to want to settle down), the plain but brilliant high school girl that Ave Maria takes under wing, a rattlesnake handling evangelist, Ave Maria's attorney and his wife (and their various marital and weight problems), the current high school beauty queen, a former high school beauty queen, the two men who are fixing Ave Maria's roof, the man who loves Ave Maria desperately (even though she is evil to him for reasons that are somewhat fuzzy to me). Even Elizabeth Taylor has a cameo in Big Stone Gap.

I'd like to see someone outline this monster of a plot, and then explain to me why Ave Maria is so self-righteous. This is a best-selling author, so perhaps there is something here that I just missing.

Can life begin at 35?.......2007-01-04

The story of a 35 year-old Italian-American self-proclaimed spinster in a small, town in the mountains of Virginia, who finally decides to open herself to life, to the people around her, and eventually to love.
Romantic, but down to earth, funny, touching, and warm.

NB: I'd ordered this at the same time as Big Cherry Holler, and read them back-to-back, as I wasn't quite ready to put Ave Maria and the rest of Big Stone Gap's residents down at the end of the book.

Wonderfully warm..........2006-12-12

I love this book. It pulled me in right from the start. The characters are comfortable and familiar, and this novel has restored my faith in good old-fashioned love stories. I just started Big Cherry Holler, and it seems promising.
