Book Description
"Throughout training I kept having the thought, WELL, ALL THEY CAN DO IS KILL ME. It seemed to help." SEALs are the world's toughest soldiers. Working in squads and platoons that make up SEAL teams, they are trained in everything from underwater demolition to high-altitude parachute drops. Now John Carl Roat, graduate of Class-29, one of the earliest SEAL training classes, has written the only book devoted to the training of that exclusive warrior force. With unflinching honesty, Roat describes the brutal six-month program that took young men well beyond the endurance limits even of gifted athletes and created warriors who could proudly take their places in the teams. It was a program so demanding that by the end of Hell Week, the third week of the course, the original class of one hundred and thirty-four physically fit young men had been sliced to sixty-two. After retelling his own class's experience, Roat visits today's SEAL program and reveals how the program has changed over the last thirty-five years to include more classroom training and better and more sophisticated equipment-- without at all lowering the physical demands. SEAL training is still the best, and the toughest, training in the world.

Book Description
"In this age of technology kids are bombarded by choices that we as parents, grandparents and caregivers did not have to face. Around 2/3 of New Zealand's adolescents have a BEBO site (or its equivalent). Although this can be a great way for kids to share music and connect with other kids - there are risks. In addition to explicit language, themes and photos, our children can face bullying, other forms of abuse and there are on-line predators. Most of us work hard to give our children good values. Most of us work hard to teach our children to make good choices. We know that our children will test limits, and we know that they will slip up from time to time. However, the opportunity to make big mistakes, that can change the course of our kids lives, is increasing. Ron Phillips has worked with children, adolescents and their families for the past 40 years. He has developed a storytelling technique that enables all ages to understand how the decisions they make directly result from how they feel. It works particularly well as a story read aloud to a group of kids, for example a parent reading and discussing the story with their children. The story 'Gem of the First Water' is a fable, similar in genre to 'Lord of the Rings.' It is the story of a boy journeying through a land of confusion where he encounters many obstacles that depict everyday issues. The story has a series of questions that require our kids to think about what they would do in a similar situation. Because kids don't have to talk about themselves they engage in the story, readily translate the boy's dilemmas and choices into their own situation, discuss the choices he has and give the boy advice about what to do. The choices are not easy - they are challenging - but they help to teach kids to identify the options and how to make good choices. ."--Publisher's description.

Book Description
An “infuriating, fast-paced” (The Washington Post) account of the Navy SEALs of Alpha platoon, the startling accusations against their chief, Eddie Gallagher, and the courtroom battle that exposed the dark underbelly of America’s special forces—from a Pulitzer Prize–winning reporter WINNER OF THE COLORADO BOOK AWARD • “Nearly impossible to put down.”—Jon Krakauer, New York Times bestselling author of Where Men Win Glory and Into the Wild In this “brilliantly written” (The New York Times Book Review) and startling account, Pulitzer Prize–winning New York Times correspondent David Philipps reveals a powerful moral crucible, one that would define the American military during the years of combat that became known as “the forever war.” When the Navy SEALs of Alpha platoon returned from their 2017 deployment to Iraq, a group of them reported their chief, Eddie Gallagher, for war crimes, alleging that he’d stabbed a prisoner in cold blood and taken lethal sniper shots at unarmed civilians. The story of Alpha’s war, both in Iraq and in the shocking trial that followed the men’s accusations, would complicate the SEALs’ post-9/11 hero narrative, turning brothers-in-arms against one another and bringing into stark relief the choice that elite soldiers face between loyalty to their unit and to their country. One of the great stories written about American special forces, Alpha is by turns a battlefield drama, a courtroom thriller, and a compelling examination of how soldiers define themselves and live with the decisions in the heat of combat.

Book Description
Scotland Yard’s Inspector Troy returns in a Cold War spy thriller hailed as “stylish, sophisticated, suspenseful . . . A fictional tour de force” (Patrick Anderson, The Washington Post). In April 1956, at the height of the Cold War, Khrushchev and Bulganin, leaders of the Soviet Union, are in Britain on an official visit. Chief Inspector Troy of Scotland Yard is assigned to be Khrushchev’s bodyguard and to spy on him. Soon after, a Royal Navy diver is found dead and mutilated beyond recognition in Portsmouth Harbor. Troy embarks on an investigation that takes him to the rotten heart of MI6, to the distant days of his childhood, and into the dangerous arms of an old flame. “If Troy is the character at the heart of this novel, its soul is England as it was during the Cold War years, a country fueled by paranoia and espionage, overrun with agents and counter-agents, caught up, as Troy says, in ‘an age that specialized in thinking the unthinkable.’” —Anne Stephenson, USA Today
