Book Description
#1 bestselling author Ken Follett tells the inspiring true story of the Middle East hostage crisis that began in 1978, and of the unconventional means one American used to save his countrymen. . . . When two of his employees were held hostage in a heavily guarded prison fortress in Iran, one man took matters into his own hands: businessman H. Ross Perot. His team consisted of a group of volunteers from the executive ranks of his corporation, handpicked and trained by a retired Green Beret officer. To free the imprisoned Americans, they would face incalculable odds on a mission that only true heroes would have dared. . . .

Book Description
Best Books of the Month: Wall Street Journal, Kirkus Reviews From the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Gulf, a sweeping cultural and natural history of the bald eagle in America. The bald eagle is regal but fearless, a bird you’re not inclined to argue with. For centuries, Americans have celebrated it as “majestic” and “noble,” yet savaged the living bird behind their national symbol as a malicious predator of livestock and, falsely, a snatcher of babies. Taking us from before the nation’s founding through inconceivable resurgences of this enduring all-American species, Jack E. Davis contrasts the age when native peoples lived beside it peacefully with that when others, whether through hunting bounties or DDT pesticides, twice pushed Haliaeetus leucocephalus to the brink of extinction. Filled with spectacular stories of Founding Fathers, rapacious hunters, heroic bird rescuers, and the lives of bald eagles themselves—monogamous creatures, considered among the animal world’s finest parents—The Bald Eagle is a much-awaited cultural and natural history that demonstrates how this bird’s wondrous journey may provide inspiration today, as we grapple with environmental peril on a larger scale.

Book Description
Beneath the Earth is the new thriller by K. L. Dempsey, which features private investigator Alexandra Johnson. Alexandra has recently resigned from her job as an elite investigator for the successful firm of Kate Heller Patterson and has now opened her own agency in the alleged haunted library of Deer Valley, Illinois. Her delight in owning her own firm has suddenly put her face-to-face with the need to solve the tragic disappearance of the region’s most famous author. Immediately it becomes clear that this is not the work of an amateur or that of the novelist’s beautiful unfaithful wife, but rather someone with a calculating and efficient program to steal from those now living, something most precious to each of their hearts. Alex’s past reputation as a crime solver is put to test when the city of Deer Valley suffers through a series of crimes that rip through the town on its way toward the gates of their historical cemetery. It becomes clear that Johnson is on the trail not only of those that have kidnapped the author, but rather someone with a calculating and evil mind. The horrifying secret and truth behind the author’s disappearance and what actually is beneath the earth could cost Alex dearly—her job, her newfound love, her future marriage, and even her life.

Book Description
Standing Bear's dismay at the condition of his people, when after sixteen years' absence he returned to the Pine Ridge Sioux Reservation, may well have served as a catalyst for the writing of this book, first published in 1933. In addition to describing the customs, manners, and traditions of the Teton Sioux, Standing Bear also offered more general comments about the importance of native cultures and values and the status of Indian people in American society. Standing Bear sought to tell the white man just how his Indians lived. His book, generously interspersed with personal reminiscences and anecdotes, includes chapters on child rearing, social and political organization, the family, religion, and manhood. Standing Bear's views on Indian affairs and his suggestions for the improvement of white-Indian relations are presented in the two closing chapters.
