Book Description
Triple I Corporation, an industrial espionage firm, has tasked their rising star investigator, Claudia Morgan, with acquiring Latvian-born Russian microbiologist Sergei Traskers research. Hounded by his former employer, Becker Pharmaceutical; Russian agents; and his Russian mentor, Constantine Potemkin, Trasker has taken refuge in his remote Westchester County estate in order to continue work on his gel. When she finally gains access to the estate and the scientist, Claudia Morgan finds that he is regularly resisting armed assaults and dealing with the abduction of his brother, Boris, to be used as a pawn in bargaining for the discovery. Experiencing a change of heart, Claudia longs to join forces with the scientist, but he is not sure of her allegiance. A new problem surfaces. Sergei, Claudia, and Boris have been exposed to the latest generation of the gel, which has produced unexpected consequences. The playing field takes on a new dimension: the gel has become a hurdle as well as a solution to their problems.

Book Description
Science-obsessed fourth grader Nora has ants all figured out—now she just has to try to understand her fellow humans! The trouble with ants is . . . . . . people think they’re boring. . . . they are not cuddly. . . . who would ever want them for a pet? Nora Alpers is using her new notebook to record the behavior of ants. Why? Because they are fascinating! Unfortunately, no one agrees with her. Her mom is not happy about them being in the house, and when Nora brings her ant farm to school for show and tell, her classmates are not very impressed. They are more interested in cat videos, basketball practice, or trying to set a Guinness World Record (although Nora wouldn’t mind that). Mostly they are distracted by the assignment their teacher Coach Joe has given them—to write a persuasive speech and change people’s minds about something. Will Nora convince her friends that ants are as interesting as she thinks they are? Or will everyone still think of ants as nothing but trouble? With real science facts, a classroom backdrop, an emphasis on friendship, and appealing black-and-white interior illustrations from artist Katie Kath, The Nora Notebooks is perfect for newly independent readers—especially budding scientists like Nora!—and adults who want to encourage awareness of STEM subjects in young readers.

Book Description
How the brutalities of working life are transformed into exhaustion, shame, and self-doubt: a writer's account of her experience working in an Amazon fulfillment center. No longer able to live on the proceeds of her freelance writing and translating income, German novelist Heike Geissler takes a seasonal job at Amazon Order Fulfillment in Leipzig. But the job, intended as a stopgap measure, quickly becomes a descent into humiliation, and Geissler soon begins to internalize the dynamics and nature of the post-capitalist labor market and precarious work. Driven to work at Amazon by financial necessity rather than journalistic ambition, Heike Geissler has nonetheless written the first and only literary account of corporate flex-time employment that offers “freedom” to workers who have become an expendable resource. Shifting between the first and the second person, Seasonal Associate is a nuanced expose of the psychic damage that is an essential working condition with mega-corporations. Geissler has written a twenty-first-century account of how the brutalities of working life are transformed into exhaustion, shame, and self-doubt.

Book Description
The Endless Mountain Series is a Christian romantic suspense series with a taste of mystery and a generous helping of faith. In these inspirational stories you will get to know three amazing young women all of whom are first introduced in book one: Stella, Claudia, and Sofie. In book one, Shadowing Stella, Stella meets Jason while she struggles to come to terms with being the pregnant single daughter of the town’s preacher. All the while, she senses someone watching, but shrugs off the feeling as her overactive imagination. Her choice to ignore the danger may have deadly consequences if she’s not careful. In book two, Implicating Claudia, Claudia gets reacquainted with Dawson, a family friend and neighbor. Things go awry when she’s accused of murdering her childhood friend. When the real killer sets his sights on her, she must rely on others, but her stubborn independent streak causes difficulty. Her defiance may put more than one life at risk. In book three, Chasing Sofie, Sofie meets Caleb on the day of her boyfriend Johan’s untimely death. Johan was a professor on campus and Caleb is there to investigate a drug ring. She refuses to accept that Johan’s death was a suicide and begins an investigation of her own. When she uncovers evidence she thinks will lead to his killer, she finds out the hard way that being kept in the dark was far safer.

The final book in the Nora Notebooks series finds Nora trying to navigate the unscientific matter of making friends with someone you have nothing in common with. Nora Alpers, fourth-grade scientist, likes things to be just so. Her ant farm, her hobbies, her friends. So when Coach Joe, her teacher, informs the class that all the students have to try something new and write a report about it, Nora is not pleased. She is even less pleased when her classmate Emma seems to decide that befriending Nora will be her “new” thing. Does Emma really want to be friends or is this just an assignment for school? Nora, meanwhile, has to figure out her own new thing. Will she discover that she has interests outside of science or will all her efforts end up being nothing but trouble?
