"I want No Hero to offer something most books on war don't: the intimate side of it, the personal struggles and hardships and what I learned from them," says Owen. "The stories in No Hero are a testament to my teammates and to all the other active and former SEALs who have dedicated their lives to freedom. In our community, we are constantly taught to mentor the younger generation and to pass the lessons and values we've learned on to others so that they can do the same for the guys coming up after them. This is what I hope I have done for readers of No Hero." Every bit as action-packed as No Easy Day, and featuring stories from the training ground to the battlefield, No Hero offers readers a never-before-seen close-up view of the experiences and values that make Mark O http://wcls.bibliocommons.com/search?custom_query=li:1115506&suppress=true&custom_edit=false http://wcls.bibliocommons.com/search?custom_query=li:1115506&suppress=true&custom_edit=false Wed, 29 Oct 2014 20:15:04 -0700 Make it ahead : a Barefoot Contessa cookbook / by Garten, Ina -- 641.555 GARTEN 2014 For the first time, trusted and beloved cookbook author Ina Garten, the Barefoot Contessa, answers the number one question she receives from cooks: Can I make it ahead?

Digging for Richard III is the page-turning story of how his grave was found, the people behind the discovery and what it tells us. It is the first complete narrative of a project that blended passion, science, luck and detection. Told by a noted archaeologist with access to all the parties involved, it follows the quest from an idea born in an Edinburgh bookshop to the day, fourteen years later, when two archaeologists carefully raised the bones from a car park in Leicester, and the scientific studies that resulted."--Book jacket. http://wcls.bibliocommons.com/search?custom_query=li:1131848&suppress=true&custom_edit=false http://wcls.bibliocommons.com/search?custom_query=li:1131848&suppress=true&custom_edit=false Wed, 29 Oct 2014 20:15:06 -0700 Beijing bastard : into the wilds of a changing China / by Wang, Val -- "A humorous and moving coming-of-age story that brings a unique, not-quite-outsider's perspective to China's shift from ancient empire to modern superpower. Raised in a strict Chinese-American household in the suburbs, Val Wang dutifully got good grades, took piano lessons, and performed in a Chinese dance troupe--until she shaved her head and became a leftist, the stuff of many teenage rebellions. But Val's true mutiny was when she moved to China, the land her parents had fled before the Communist takeover in 1949. Val arrives in Beijing in 1998 expecting to find freedom but instead lives in the old city with her traditional relatives, who wake her at dawn with the sound of a state-run television program playing next to her cot, make a running joke of how much she eats, and monitor her every move. But outside, she soon discovers a city rebelling against its roots just as she is, struggling too to find a new, modern identity.

For the first time in American history, religious self-identification is on the decline. Some have cited a perception that began to grow after Sept 11: That faith in general is a source of aggression, intolerance and divisiveness--something bad for society. But how accurate is that view? And does it apply equally to all faiths? In these troubled times, we risk basing decisions of real and dangerous consequence on mistaken understandings of the faiths subscribed around us, in our immediate community as well as globally. And so, with her deep learning and sympathetic understanding, Karen Armstrong examines the impulse toward violence in each of the world's great religions. http://wcls.bibliocommons.com/search?custom_query=li:1132490&suppress=true&custom_edit=false http://wcls.bibliocommons.com/search?custom_query=li:1132490&suppress=true&custom_edit=false Wed, 29 Oct 2014 20:15:07 -0700 Maeve's times : in her own words / by Binchy, Maeve -- 824.914 BINCHY 2014 Collects the best of the author's essays from five decades of the "Irish Times" to reflect a changing culture as well as her observations on such topics as the royal wedding, waitressing, and boring airline companions. http://wcls.bibliocommons.com/search?custom_query=li:1132508&suppress=true&custom_edit=false http://wcls.bibliocommons.com/search?custom_query=li:1132508&suppress=true&custom_edit=false Wed, 29 Oct 2014 20:15:07 -0700 A letter to my cat : notes to our best friends / by -- Collects celebrity letters of love, whimsy, and gratitude to their feline companions, including contributions by Dr. Oz, Mariel Hemingway, and Jackson Galaxy. http://wcls.bibliocommons.com/search?custom_query=li:1132534&suppress=true&custom_edit=false http://wcls.bibliocommons.com/search?custom_query=li:1132534&suppress=true&custom_edit=false Wed, 29 Oct 2014 20:15:07 -0700 Good dog : true stories of love, loss, and loyalty / by -- "Inspired by Garden & Gun magazine's popular Good Dog column, [this is a] collection of true stories celebrating the unique relationship between humans and their canine companions, penned by some of today's top writers, including Jon Meacham, Roy Blount, Jr, Dominique Browning, and P.J.

Kari and Rob are as devoted to their German shepherd puppy, Isis, as two dog parents can be. Kari's the disciplinarian, struggling to follow every instruction to the letter. Rob's the laid-back dad, more of a littermate, happy as long as he can practice jiu-jitsu with the dog. As she grows, Isis's behavior escalates from frustrating to dangerous when she bites someone. Kari and Rob learn that some of the old-fashioned advice they followed may have contributed to Isis's aggression. Eventually, they're shown a better way to calm an anxious and fearful dog."--Page [4] of cover. http://wcls.bibliocommons.com/search?custom_query=li:1134180&suppress=true&custom_edit=false http://wcls.bibliocommons.com/search?custom_query=li:1134180&suppress=true&custom_edit=false Wed, 29 Oct 2014 20:15:09 -0700 Syllabus / by Barry, Lynda, -- http://wcls.bibliocommons.com/search?custom_query=li:1135078&suppress=true&custom_edit=false http://wcls.bibliocommons.com/search?custom_query=li:1135078&suppress=true&custom_edit=false Wed, 29 Oct 2014 20:15:09 -0700 Science...for her! / by Amram, Megan. -- "Megan Amram, one of Forbes' "30 Under 30 in Hollywood & Entertainment," Rolling Stone's "25 Funniest People on Twitter," and a writer for NBC's hit show Parks and Recreation, delivers a politically, scientifically, and anatomically incorrect "textbook" that will have women screaming with laughter, and men dying to know what the noise is about. In the vein of faux expert books by John Hodgman and Amy Sedaris, Science...for Her! is ostensibly a book of science written by a denizen of women's magazines. Comedy writer and Twitter sensation Megan Amram showcases her fiendish wit with a pitch-perfect attack on everything from those insanely perky tips for self-improvement to our bizarre shopaholic dating culture to the socially mandated pursuit of mind-blowing sex to the cringe-worthy secret codes of food and body issues.

A National Book Award winner and Pulitzer Prize nominee, she lent her signature voice to countless works of literature, her words indelibly imprinted on the hearts of millions. Inspired by the woman who has inspired us all, Rainbow in the Cloud offers more than 200 of Dr. Angelou's most pivotal quotes, organized in themed sections (including America, Love, and Womanhood)--from sage advice and beautiful stanzas to humorous quips and pointed observations--drawn from each of her published works and from her celebrated (and much shared) social media posts.

In the popular imagination, Afghanistan is often regarded as the site of intractable conflict, the American war against the Taliban a perpetually hopeless quagmire. But as Anand Gopal demonstrates in this stunning chronicle, top Taliban leaders were in fact ready to surrender within months of the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan, renouncing all political activity and submitting to the new government. Effectively, the Taliban ceased to exist--yet the American forces were not ready to accept such a turnaround. Driven by false intelligence from corrupt warlords and by a misguided conviction that Taliban members could never change sides, the U.S. instead continued to press the conflict, resurrecting the insurgency that persists to this day.

Major misadventures like the invasion of Iraq, the embrace of torture, the expansion of domestic surveillance programs, the failure to intervene earlier in Syria, the constant shifting of "red lines" in that country or Iran, the bumbling and lack of follow-through in Libya, and the failure to stand up to abuses by "allies" in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iraq or by rivals like Russia or Iran, have exposed how fear has warped Americans' perspectives, causing both overreaction and inaction.

The "Maybrick Mystery" had all the makings of a sensation: a pretty, flirtatious young girl; resentful, gossiping servants; rumors of gambling and debt; and torrid mutual infidelity. The case cracked the varnish of Victorian respectability, shocking and exciting the public in equal measure as they clambered to read the latest revelations of Florence's past and glimpse her likeness in Madame Tussaud's. Florence's fate was fiercely debated in the courtroom, on the front pages of the newspapers and in parlours and backyards across the country. Did she poison her husband? Was her previous infidelity proof of murderous intentions? Was James' own habit of self-medicating to blame for his demise?

But he can be certain of one simple thing: No matter his fate, his daughter, Emma, will find a handwritten note inside her lunchbox each day until she graduates from high school.Every morning as he packs Emma's lunch, Garth adds a little surprise: a "napkin note"--a short, tender message to convey his love, encouragement, and pride. Garth began writing his napkin notes when Emma was in grade school, and as she grew up, his notes became more meaningful.Shortly after Emma turned twelve, Garth learned he had kidney cancer.

Until recently, historians believed America gave asylum only to key Nazi scientists after World War II, along with some less famous perpetrators who managed to sneak in and who eventually were exposed by Nazi hunters. But the truth is much worse, and has been covered up for decades: the CIA and FBI brought thousands of perpetrators to America as possible assets against their new Cold War enemies. When the Justice Department finally investigated and learned the truth, the results were classified and buried. Using the dramatic story of one former perpetrator who settled in New Jersey, conned the CIA into hiring him, and begged for the agency's support when his wartime identity emerged, Eric Lichtblau tells the full, shocking story of how America became a refuge for hundreds of postwar Nazis"-- http://wcls.bibliocommons.com/search?custom_query=li:1136812&suppress=true&custom_edit=false http://wcls.bibliocommons.com/search?custom_query=li:1136812&suppress=true&custom_edit=false Wed, 29 Oct 2014 20:15:13 -0700 The accidental superpower : the next generation of American preeminence and the coming global disorder / by Zeihan, Peter. -- " In the bestselling tradition of The World Is Flat and The Next 100 Years, THE ACCIDENTAL SUPERPOWER will be a much discussed, contrarian and eye-opening assessment of American power. In THE ACCIDENTAL SUPERPOWER international strategist Peter Zeihan examines how geography, combined with demography and energy independence, will pave the way for one of the great turning points in history, and one in which America reasserts its global dominance. No other country has a greater network of internal waterways, a greater command of deepwater navigation, or a firmer hold on industrialization technologies than America. Zeihan argues that the future is undoubtedly bright for America, the only country with enough young adults to fill the capital-generating void that will be left behind by 2030.

Schools filled with black and brown students have become plantations of social control, where the policing of behavior trumps the expanding of minds. Radical teachers and organizers in American public schools must help young people fashion an insurgency. That means, at the very least, seeing each student's rebellion not as violation, but as communication. Jay Gillen writes with passion and compassion about the daily lives of poor students trapped in institutions that dismiss and degrade them. In the spirit of Paulo Freire, and using the historical models of slave rebellions and Civil Rights struggles as guides, Gillen explains what sort of insurgency is needed and how to create it: the tools and techniques required to build social, intellectual, and political power."--Page [4] of cover. http://wcls.bibliocommons.com/search?custom_query=li:1137447&suppress=true&custom_edit=false http://wcls.bibliocommons.com/search?custom_query=li:1137447&suppress=true&custom_edit=false Wed, 29 Oct 2014 20:15:15 -0700 The farmer in all of us : an American portrait / by -- 630.92 FARMER.I 2014 Farming takes heart, grit, and determination-- traits that go straight to the core of what makes America great.

During the weeks it would take the dog to heal, the handler never left its side. The dog had saved his life. Loyal and courageous, dogs are truly man's best friend on the battlefield. While the soldiers may not always feel comfortable calling the bond they form love, the emotions involved are strong and complicated.

The human cost was staggering: during the two years of the pact hundreds of thousands of people in central and eastern Europe caught between Hitler and Stalin were expropriated, deported, or killed. http://wcls.bibliocommons.com/search?custom_query=li:1137484&suppress=true&custom_edit=false http://wcls.bibliocommons.com/search?custom_query=li:1137484&suppress=true&custom_edit=false Wed, 29 Oct 2014 20:15:20 -0700 Elements of wit : mastering the art of being interesting / by Errett, Benjamin, -- "Got wit? We've all been in that situation where we need to say something clever, but innocuous; smart enough to show some intelligence, without showing off; something funny, but not a joke. What we need in that moment is wit- that sparkling combination of charm, humor, confidence, and most of all, the right words at the right time. Elements of Wit is an engaging book that brings together the greatest wits of our time, and previous ones from Oscar Wilde to Nora Ephron, Winston Churchill to Christopher Hitchens, Mae West to Louis CK, and many in between. With chapters covering the essential ingredients of wit, this primer sheds light on how anyone- introverts, extroverts, wallflowers, and bon vivants- can find the right zinger, quip, parry, or retort... or at least be a little bit more interesting."--Back cover. http://wcls.bibliocommons.com/search?custom_query=li:1137485&suppress=true&custom_edit=false http://wcls.bibliocommons.com/search?custom_query=li:1137485&suppress=true&custom_edit=false Wed, 29 Oct 2014 20:15:21 -0700 Back channel to Cuba : the hidden history of negotiations between Washington and Havana / by LeoGrande, William M. -- "Challenging the conventional wisdom of perpetual hostility between the United States and Cuba--beyond invasions, covert operations, assassination plots using poison pens and exploding seashells, and a grinding economic embargo--this fascinating book chronicles a surprising, untold history of bilateral efforts toward rapprochement and reconciliation. Since 1959, conflict and aggression have dominated the story of U.S.-Cuban relations. Now, LeoGrande and Kornbluh present a new and increasingly more relevant account. From Kennedy's offering of an olive branch to Castro after the missile crisis, to Kissinger's top secret quest for normalization, to Obama's promise of a 'new approach,' LeoGrande and Kornbluh reveal a fifty-year record of dialogue and negotiations, both open and furtive, indicating a path toward better relations in the future"--Provided by publisher. http://wcls.bibliocommons.com/search?custom_query=li:1137488&suppress=true&custom_edit=false http://wcls.bibliocommons.com/search?custom_query=li:1137488&suppress=true&custom_edit=false Wed, 29 Oct 2014 20:15:21 -0700 Sugar savvy solution : kick your sugar addiction for life and get healthy / by High Voltage -- 613.283 HIGH VOL 2014 Learn to rewire your brain chemistry to crush your cravings, and discover the benefits of whole grains, lean protein, and fruits and vegetables.

More people have climbed Mount Everest than have rowed across the Atlantic. For more than seventy days, Adam Rackley and his rowing partner ate, slept and rowed in a boat seven meters long by two meters wide, in one of the world's most extreme environments. This is his story of adventure, endurance, and self-discovery. They were following in the wake of pioneers. In 1896 George Harbo and Frank Samuelsen, a pair of Norwegian fisherman, crossed the 2,500 miles in a wooden fishing dory--and their record stood for 114 years. John Fairfax, a smuggler, a gambler, and a shark hunter, was the first to complete the feat singlehandedly in 1969. Others have followed; some have not survived the attempt.

Maingot has written a cultural history of this vibrant city, which boasts the highest percentage of foreign-born residents in the US. Miami, or "Sweet Water" in the Creek Indian language, is one of the newest cities in the United States. While northern Florida was fought over by European powers and finally taken by the Americans as part of the slave-worked plantation South, Miami lay largely ignored and populated by more alligators than humans until its incorporation as a city in 1896. The driving force was Henry Flagler, who brought his railroad down to Miami and from there to Key West--and trade with Cuba. Once settled, "Tin Can" tourists from the North, Midwest and South rode their Model-T Fords down to Florida and Miami and the boom in land sales began. After the Prohibition period and the heyday of the bootleggers, a new but still segregated Miami emerged from the Second World War.

It has long been an ancient focal point of the Silk Road and human migration connecting the Central Asian steppe and China with Iran and the Indian subcontinent. While many native people such as the Kushans, Samanids, Saffarids and Mughals have founded their empires here, the country has also been the target of numerous invasions. Its combination of geography and mix of peoples explains why Afghanistan is one of the most culturally rich and diverse places on Earth. Rich in local precious metals and minerals, it has a long history of producing high-quality arts and crafts. This book features views of the country's landscape, important monuments, and a range of ancient and modern objects. It places this rich and ancient seam of creativity in its broad historical context and offers a full appreciation of this remarkable country. http://wcls.bibliocommons.com/search?custom_query=li:1137871&suppress=true&custom_edit=false http://wcls.bibliocommons.com/search?custom_query=li:1137871&suppress=true&custom_edit=false Wed, 29 Oct 2014 20:15:32 -0700 Good grief! : life in a tiny Vermont village / by Stimson, Ellen, -- http://wcls.bibliocommons.com/search?custom_query=li:1137874&suppress=true&custom_edit=false http://wcls.bibliocommons.com/search?custom_query=li:1137874&suppress=true&custom_edit=false Wed, 29 Oct 2014 20:15:33 -0700 On his own terms : a life of Nelson Rockefeller / by Smith, Richard Norton, -- http://wcls.bibliocommons.com/search?custom_query=li:1137875&suppress=true&custom_edit=false http://wcls.bibliocommons.com/search?custom_query=li:1137875&suppress=true&custom_edit=false Wed, 29 Oct 2014 20:15:33 -0700 Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis : the untold story / by Leaming, Barbara. -- A book that explores the seemingly magical world of Jackie Onassis' youth, her fairy-tale marriage to a wealthy and handsome senator and presidential candidate and her astonishing transformation into a deft political wife and unique first lady also explores what the author asserts was Jackie's 31-year struggle with PTSD after the assassination of her husband, John F.

Its very name conjures up awe-inspiring images of an age of lofty ideals in which life imitated the fantastic artworks for which it has become famous. But behind the vast explosion of new art and culture lurked a seamy, vicious world of power politics, perversity, and corruption that has more in common with the present day than anyone dares to admit. In this lively and meticulously researched portrait, Renaissance scholar Alexander Lee illuminates the dark and titillating contradictions that were hidden beneath the surface of the best-known artworks of the Renaissance. http://wcls.bibliocommons.com/search?custom_query=li:1137885&suppress=true&custom_edit=false http://wcls.bibliocommons.com/search?custom_query=li:1137885&suppress=true&custom_edit=false Wed, 29 Oct 2014 20:15:35 -0700 Shock factor : America's snipers in the War on Terror / by Coughlin, Jack, -- http://wcls.bibliocommons.com/search?custom_query=li:1137888&suppress=true&custom_edit=false http://wcls.bibliocommons.com/search?custom_query=li:1137888&suppress=true&custom_edit=false Wed, 29 Oct 2014 20:15:35 -0700 Inside Syria : the backstory of their civil war and what the world can expect / by Erlich, Reese W., -- "Based on first-hand reporting from Syria and Washington, journalist Reese Erlich unravels the complex dynamics underlying the Syrian civil war. Through vivid, on-the-ground accounts and interviews with both rebel leaders and Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, Erlich gives the reader a better understanding of this momentous power struggle and why it matters. Through his many contacts inside Syria, the author reveals who is supporting Assad and why; he describes the agendas of the rebel factions; and he depicts in stark terms the dire plight of many ordinary Syrian people caught in the cross-fire. The book also provides insights into the role of the Kurds, the continuing influence of Iran, and the policies of US leaders who seem interested only in protecting US regional interests. As Erlich shows, current events in Syria can be best understood by looking at Syria's recent history, especially the roles of key historic figures.
