Required SQL query: SELECT a.lname, a.fname, b.title FROM customers c JOIN orders o ON c.customer#= o.customer# JOIN orderitems i ON o.order# = i.order# JOIN books b ON i.isbn = b.isbn JOIN bookauthor t ON b.isbn = t.isbn JOIN author a ON t.authorid = a.authorid WHERE firstname = "BECCA' AND lastname = 'NELSON'; Explanation: SELECT keyword will allow the user to retrieve the required values. By providing the table name, FROM can be used to search the database and return the desired data. WHERE is used to specify a condition based on which the data is to be retrieved. AND is used to specify that both conditions must be satisfied. The JOIN Clause is a special keyword in SQL (structured Query Language), which is used to combine the rows from two or more tables in the database. In the above SQL query, it selects the field lname and fname from the table author and title filed from the book table and the result of the query is ordered by the customer name. Sample output: LNAME FNAME TITLE JONES JANICE REVENGE OF MONKEY BAKER J JACK PAINLESS CHILD-REARING WHITE WILLIAM HANDCRANKED COMPUTERS WHITE LISA HANDCRANKED COMPUTERS ROBINSON ROBERT BIG REAR AND LITTLE DOVE ROBINSON ROBERT PAINLESS CHILD-REARING FIELDS OSCAR PAINLESS CHILD-REARING
