Collection: Adult

Lilly Weathers, a widow and retired Air Force investigative researcher, leashes up her two dogs and begins a new life as an RV volunteer for national wildlife refuges. Her first job lands her in Nevada in the middle of a murder conspiracy that involves military readiness training. When the refuge manager, Lilly's long-time friend, is accused, she tries to clear his name. The Southern Paiute Indians have a powerful connection to these desert lands. Will Lilly experience the energy of their ancient rock writings firsthand? Or is it her imagination? While Lilly comes to terms with starting a new life alone in this vast landscape, she investigates the canyons near Area 51, befriends an unusual character who has visions of finding a portal to other worlds, and solves a cover-up on the Air Force's Nevada Test and Training Range. Blocking her way is a rancher who hates the federal government and another who goes to great lengths to woo her.

Across factories, empty rooms, late-night cigarettes, and long shifts under fluorescent lights, this collection traces the inner life of men who were taught to be necessary before they were even taught to be loved.

The Man Who Could've Been, by Best-Selling author Loan Wendling, is a poetic reflection of manhood, fatherhood, redemption, and the daily labor of becoming a better man - or at least trying to. After his debut book "Tales and Ink," and his second project, "The Ashes," Loan Wendling presents here a much more refined and much more experienced style and aesthetic, both poetically and visually, with its heart-wrenching poems and stunning illustrations, that act as a symbolic through line until the very last page.

The Man Who Could've Been is a voice for the unheard, an attempt to comfort the lonely by letting them know that they are not alone. At its heart, this book is not about greatness; it is about the decision to break both societal and generational burdens by letting the world know that it is okay to feel, that it is okay to cry, and that it is okay to try to be better, rather than remaining in this same old hole we were told to remain in.

Loan Wendling's The Man Who Could've Been speaks to every man who has wondered who he might have become - and reminds him that as long as the sun rises, the story is still being written.

A practical guide to profiting from institutional trading trends

The key to being a successful trader is finding a system that works and sticking with it. Author Al Brooks has done just that. By simplifying his trading system and trading only 5-minute price charts he's found a way to capture profits regardless of market direction or economic climate. His first book, Reading Price Charts Bar by Bar, offered an informative examination of his system, but it didn't allow him to get into the real nuts and bolts of the approach. Now, with this new series of books, Brooks takes you step by step through the entire process.

By breaking down his trading system into its simplest pieces: institutional piggybacking or trend trading (the topic of this particular book in the series), trading ranges, and transitions or reversals, this three book series offers access to Brooks' successful methodology. Price Action Trends Bar by Bar describes in detail what individual bars and combinations of bars can tell a trader about what institutions are doing. This is critical because the key to making money in trading is to piggyback institutions and you cannot do that unless you understand what the charts are telling you about their behavior. This book will allow you to see what type of trend is unfolding, so can use techniques that are specific to that type of trend to place the right trades.

• Discusses how to profit from institutional trading trends using technical analysis
• Outlines a detailed and original trading approach developed over the author's successful career as an independent trader
• Other books in the series include Price Action Trading Ranges Bar by Bar and Price Action Reversals Bar by Bar

If you're looking to make the most of your time in today's markets the trading insights found in Price Action Trends Bar by Bar will help you achieve this goal.

Unschooling, a learner-centred educational philosophy, breaks away from the confines of traditional schooling, advocating for a more organic, child-centric approach.

Its essence lies in the belief that learning is a natural and lifelong process. It is cemented in the fact that children are innately curious and capable of directing their own education when provided with a nurturing and resource-rich environment. This book delves into the principles of unschooling, providing insights into its benefits, challenges, and practical application.

School Isn't For Everyone shows what is possible when you leave school behind and start living a life of learning. It discusses the principles that form this educational philosophy, explains how unschooling works, sets out what the parents' role is and explores what children do all day when they don't follow a curriculum. It draws on current theory and evidence whilst sharing practical tips and being grounded in the reality of day-to-day life with children. It does this by including interviews with unschooling families, exercises for parents to help reinforce ideas, listing key points in every chapter and including diagrams to illustrate the concepts being explored.

Whether you are a parent looking for alternatives to school, are already home educating and exploring the possibilities, have found yourself unexpectedly unschooling or are certain that this is the route for you, this book serves as a guide to both understanding and implementing the core principles, taking you on a journey from schooled to unschooled and releasing you and your child into a life full of learning.

Jack Barley es un muchacho de once años que en defensa propia asesina a un muchacho de su pueblo y luego a su familia, por lo que tiene que huir de su aldea antes de que las autoridades lo capturen y lo cuelguen.

James, un niño que es raptado de su aldea en África para ser llevado como esclavo a los Estados Unidos, donde con el tiempo se convierte en uno de los hombres de confianza de Lloyd. Jeremiah, un negro gigante que se rehúsa a hablar la lengua de los esclavistas por lo que los blancos lo creen mudo y tonto.

La novela sigue los derroteros de la inmensa fortuna creada por Henry Lloyd hasta llegar a sus descendientes actuales, que descubrirán poco a poco el oscuro pasado de sus antecesores. La novela explora los orígenes del capitalismo americano, la conformación de los Estados Unidos en el siglo XIX, las terribles batallas entre apaches, mexicanos y texanos, la herida profunda de la esclavitud y las vicisitudes políticas derivadas del tumultuoso devenir histórico durante los últimos ciento ochenta años, todo alrededor de la figura mastodóntica de Henry Lloyd.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Western novel about the frontier wars between the United States and Mexico, when territories were lost and Apache, Mexicans, and Americans clashed.

This polyphonic novel tells the story of Henry Lloyd, a mysterious character that, slowly but surely, builds an empire in the mid eighteen hundreds. Bold, sharp, and smart, the only person he fears is his nemesis, Jack Barley, the only one who could bring down his empire. Jack Barley is an eleven-year-old kid who kills a boy in self-defense, and then kills his family, so has to skip town before the authorities capture him and put his head in a noose. Henry Lloyd's and Jack Barley's stories run parallel until their inevitable faceoff.

The Man narrates the close-ups of other characters that accompany Henry. James, a boy kidnapped from his village in Africa to be taken as a slave to the United States, where, over time, will become one of Lloyd's most-trusted men. Jeremiah, a giant black man who refuses to speak the tongue of the enslavers, so white men think him mute and dumb. Virginia, heiress to a vast plantation in Alabama, who marries Lloyd, but for painful reasons must be parted from him. Rodrigo, a young Mexican who lives in a Texas ranch and sees how the frontier dividing Mexico from the States threatens to blur.

The novel follows the course of Henry Lloyd's immense fortune, to his current descendants, who will uncover, piece by piece, the dark past of their ancestors. The novel explores the origins of American capitalism; the shaping of the United States throughout the nineteenth century; the terrible battles between the Apache, Mexicans, and Texans; the deep wound of slavery, and the political vicissitudes derived from the tumultuous historical development of the past 180 years, all revolving around the colossal figure of Henry Lloyd.

Hence, in this volume of our series, American author Cyrus Lakdawala tackles this multifaceted term, making it approachable for anyone wishing to learn how to find and exploit the soft spots in their opponent's camps.

Recruited into the fundamentalist Quiverfull movement as a young wife, Tia Levings learned that being a good Christian meant following a list of additional life principles--a series of secret, special rules to obey. Being a godly and submissive wife in Christian Patriarchy included strict discipline, isolation, and an alternative lifestyle that appeared wholesome to outsiders. Women were to be silent, "keepers of the home."

Tia knew that to their neighbors her family was strange, but she also couldn't risk exposing their secret lifestyle to police, doctors, teachers, or anyone outside of their church. Christians were called in scripture to be "in the world, not of it." So, she hid in plain sight as years of abuse and pain followed. When Tia realized she was the only one who could protect her children from becoming the next generation of patriarchal men and submissive women, she began to resist and question how they lived. But in the patriarchy, a woman with opinions is in danger, and eventually, Tia faced an urgent and extreme choice: stay and face dire consequences, or flee with her children.

Told in a beautiful and honest voice, A Well-Trained Wife is an unforgettable and timely memoir about a woman's race to save herself and her family and details the ways that extreme views can manifest in a marriage.

Success isn't found at the table with no seat for you. It's found in the courage to build a new room and keep the door open for others to follow.

When you're fearless, determined, and focused, you don't follow the path-you make it. Leslie Short did.

Leslie Short has never played by the rules or stayed in the boxes others tried to put her in. At seven, she declared herself "too sophisticated for New Jersey." Years later, she danced her way across Europe, built Japan's first male revue show, helped transform FUBU into a global brand, and carved out a place as a chaplain, speaker, and culture strategist.

From ballet studios to boardrooms, cruise ships to corporate America, Leslie's journey is as unconventional as it is inspiring. With humor and fearless candor, she shares the realities of racism, sexism, and the courage it takes to step into spaces where no one expected her to be.

More than a memoir of firsts, Someone Has to Be the First is a call to action-a reminder that success isn't just about opening doors, but about keeping them open so others can follow.

Someone has to be the first, but Leslie is ensuring that the first doesn't have to mean the only one.
