With war looming on all horizons, the only chance for salvation lies in a desperate quest that may mark the end of everything Aelin holds dear.

Then in 2014, she wrote an article for Redbook magazine that revealed a tragic secret: her mother was diagnosed with a rare form of dementia at age sixty-one. Here she tells the full story of her mother’s illness, called primary progressive aphasia, from diagnosis through the present day, drawing on memories of her relationship with her fascinating, complicated, and successful mother. She describes educating herself about the condition, letting go of the shame and secrecy surrounding it, and finding unexpected humor and grace in a terrible situation. She chronicles ways in which her family’s bond was strengthened by the experience, to becoming an awareness advocate, to accepting the woman her mother has become. This is a heartrending and inspiring reminder of how unbreakable our relationships with our mothers are.

The way we frame our daily decisions; the big ambitions we embrace and the easy goals we ignore; the way we interact with data: These are the things that separate the merely busy from the genuinely productive. At the core of Smarter Faster Better are eight key concepts that explain why some people and companies get so much done. Drawing on the latest findings in neuroscience, psychology, and behavioral economics, this painstakingly researched audiobook explains that the most productive people, companies, and organizations don’t merely act differently. They view the world, and their choices, in profoundly different ways.

In Virgil Flowers’s case, make that two. The first comes from, of all places, the Minnesota Zoo. Two large Siberian tigers have vanished from their cage, and authorities are very concerned that they’ve been stolen for their organs. Traditional Chinese medicine prizes their parts for home remedies, and people will do extreme things to get – and keep – what they need. As Virgil is about to find out. Then there’s the home front. Virgil’s relationship with his girlfriend, Frankie, has been getting kind of serious, but when Frankie’s sister, Sparkle, moves in for the summer, things get a lot more complicated. Sparkle has a roving eye, and it’s fixed right on Virgil. Forget a storm – this one’s a tornado.

The Peloponnesian War pitted Athens and her allies against a league of city-states headed by Sparta. Thucydides’s eyewitness account of the war has been a classic for 24 centuries and is still studied for its profound truths about the nature of human strife. In The Peloponnesian War, Professor Kenneth Harl draws on this masterpiece and other ancient sources to give you a full picture of the Greek world in uneasy peace and then all-out war in the late 5th century B.C.

And so, using her 60 Minutes skills, she explores how grandmothering changes a woman’s life, interviewing her friends like Whoopi Goldberg, her colleagues like Diane Sawyer, and the proverbial woman next door.

As its military begins to prey on neighbors in the South China Sea, attacking fishing vessels and scheming to seize natural resources, the U.S. goes on high alert. But a far more ominous danger lurks closer to home: a Chinese sleeper cell has planted a nuclear weapon in the harbor at Norfolk, Virginia, the biggest naval base on the planet. The target: a secret rendezvous of the Atlantic Fleet aircraft carriers and their battle groups. When the CIA director is assassinated and Jake Grafton is appointed to take his place, he gets wind of the conspiracy, but has no idea when or where the attack will occur. In the meantime, a series of assassinations, including an attempt on the life of the President, shake the country and deliberately mask a far more sinister objective.

Addressing the three dimensions of culture–values, beliefs, and behaviors–Remarkable! introduces readers to the Four Maxims of Value Creation: creativity, positivity, sustainability, and responsibility, and shows leaders the most effective ways to cultivate these qualities in their team members and how to craft a corporate culture where people can thrive.

Your health, your decisions : http://hclibrary.org/polaris/your-health-your-decisions-2/ Fri, 21 Oct 2016 04:00:00 +0000 http://hclibrary.org/polaris/your-health-your-decisions-2/ Many authors have explored how doctors make decisions, and in nearly every example, the physician is at the center of discussion, with the patient as beneficiary of her or his decisions. Dr. Robert McNutt starts from a very different premise: challenging the physician-directed medical expertise model of making medical decisions, he presents practical information and formal exercises designed to give patients the tools and confidence to compare and consider their health care options. Your Health, Your Decisions moves from specific scenarios that commonly baffle patients to a systematic exploration of how to understand options and the tools available for assessing the risks and benefits of different treatments. By offering patients the tools they need to be full partners in their own health care, McNutt demystifies what can be a bewildering and terrifying process.

Mercenary by name and by nature, Carson is a Lakota Sioux who stays to himself and never keeps women around long enough for anything emotional to develop.

Then Carlie lands in deep trouble. She saw something she shouldn’t have, and now the face of a criminal is stored permanently in her photographic memory … and Carlie is the key piece of evidence that could implicate a popular politician in the murder case.

Barkskins : http://hclibrary.org/polaris/barkskins-3/ Fri, 21 Oct 2016 04:00:00 +0000 http://hclibrary.org/polaris/barkskins-3/ In the late seventeenth century two penniless young Frenchmen, Rene Sel and Charles Duquet, arrive in Canada, then known as New France. Bound to a feudal lord, a seigneur, for three years in exchange for land, they become woodcutters–barkskins. Sel suffers extraordinary hardship, oppressed by the forest he is charged with clearing. He is forced to marry a Mi’kmaw woman, and their descendants live trapped between two inimical cultures. Duquet, crafty and ruthless, runs away from the seigneur, becomes a fur trader, then sets up a timber business. Proulx tells the stories of the descendants of Sel and Duquet over three hundred years– their travels across North America, to Europe, China and New Zealand under stunningly brutal conditions–the revenge of rivals, accidents, pestilence, Indian attacks and cultural annihilation. Again and again, they seize what they can of a presumed infinite resource, leaving the modern-day characters face-to-face with possible ecological collapse.

A.D., the Bible continues : http://hclibrary.org/polaris/a-d-the-bible-continues/ Fri, 21 Oct 2016 04:00:00 +0000 http://hclibrary.org/polaris/a-d-the-bible-continues/ When Pontius Pilate ordered the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, he thought he was putting an end to the Jewish uprising that had been threatening the authority of the Roman Empire. What Pilate didn’t realize, however, was that the real revolution was just getting started. Based on the epic NBC television event, A.D. The Bible Continues: The Revolution That Changed the World is a sweeping biblical narrative that brings the political intrigue, religious persecution, and emotional turmoil of the Book of Acts to life in stunning, vibrant detail. Beginning with the crucifixion, New York Times bestselling author and Bible teacher Dr. David Jeremiah chronicles the tumultuous struggles of Christ’s disciples following the resurrection. From the brutal stoning of Stephen and Saul’s radical conversion, to the unyielding persecution of Peter and the relentless wrath of the Jewish authorities, Dr. Jeremiah paints a magnificent portrait of the political and religious upheaval that led to the formation of the early church.–

She is a lawyer, not a cop, and it is her job to respond to complaints dealing with judicial misconduct. After nine years with the Board, she knows that most problems are caused by incompetence, not corruption. But a corruption case eventually crosses her desk. A previously disbarred lawyer is back in business with a new identity. He now goes by the name Greg Myers, and he claims to know of a Florida judge who has stolen more money than all other crooked judges combined. And not just crooked judges in Florida. All judges, from all states, and throughout U.S. history. What’s the source of the ill-gotten gains? It seems the judge was secretly involved with the construction of a large casino on Native American land. The Coast Mafia financed the casino and is now helping itself to a sizable skim of each month’s cash. The judge is getting a cut and looking the other way. It’s a sweet deal: Everyone is making money. But now Greg wants to put a stop to it. His only client is a person who knows the truth and wants to blow the whistle and collect millions under Florida law. Greg files a complaint with the Board on Judicial Conduct, and the case is assigned to Lacy Stoltz, who immediately suspects that this one could be dangerous. Dangerous is one thing. Deadly is something else.

It was Rose and her two sisters, Iris and Violet, who raised Gus, sent him to the best schools, and helped him start his own accounting business. Rose even bought the house Gus lives in with his wife, Elaine. But now, Gus stands to lose everything–his home, his car, and his business. Worse, he’s alienated his beloved grandma, who tried to warn him about Elaine’s greedy, gold-digging ways. Gus, blinded by infatuation, refused to listen, and now Elaine has locked him out of the house he was foolish enough to put in her name. Heartsick and remorseful, Gus returns to Rose’s Virginia farmhouse seeking shelter. But it won’t be easy to make amends. Despite their pretty floral names, there’s nothing delicate about the Blossom sisters. Unbeknownst to Gus, they’ve also been running a very lucrative business from home and don’t want interference. Yet family and forgiveness go hand in hand, and Gus isn’t giving up. With the help of close friends, new associates, and some very sprightly ladies, Gus begins to repair the damage he’s done and help the residents of Blossom Farm begin the next phase of their business. He might even be finding the courage to love again. Because no matter how daunting starting over can be, the results can surpass your wildest expectations–especially when the Blossom sisters are in your corner…

Sachs has shown himself to be one of the world’s most perceptive and original analysts of global development in his groundbreaking books, including The End of Poverty and Common Wealth: Economics for a Crowded Planet. Now, in this major new work he presents a compelling and practical framework for how global citizens can address the seemingly intractable worldwide problems of persistent extreme poverty, environmental degradation, and political-economic injustice. Sachs outlines the holistic way forward: sustainable development. This provocative work offers readers, students, activists, environmentalists, and policy makers the tools, metrics, and practical pathways they need to achieve sustainable development goals. Far more than a rhetorical exercise, this book is designed to inform, inspire, and spur action.
