It's one girl against an army of vegetables in this hilariously hyperbolic picture book about our leafy green (and red, orange, purple, and yellow) frenemies.

Grownups say they're harmless, but kids know the truth: vegetables are dangerous!

Deep in the dark of the refrigerator, they make their devious plans. Spinach will try to smother you. The radishes are ready to rumble. The kale is clutching cutlery.

And of all the evil veggies, broccoli is the worst. If you let it out of the vegetable drawer, it will attack before you can say "I want mac and cheese instead!" Your dad won't listen, anyway, and hiding under the table won't work, either. There's only one thing left to do...

Take a bite out of this giggle-worthy picture book with whimsical illustrations, perfect for picky eaters and veggie fans alike. Pairs nicely with The Bad Seed and Creepy Carrots.

Spring 1975.

Fourteen climbers from the Ladies Climbing Club in Japan begin their climb up Mount Everest. Junko Tabei, a mountain climbing pioneer--the woman who formed the group --faces many hardships as she leads them: frigid temperatures, gusting winds, an avalanche, injuries, altitude sickness, and a death-defying ice ridge crossing. Yet she perseveres, and when she reaches the summit of Mount Everest, she becomes the first woman--and the 36th person--to do so!

While Junko made history with her trailblazing climb, her path was far from easy. She was small in stature, and often sick as a child. Most climbing clubs of her time were only for men who put up countless obstacles to keep Junko from climbing. But she didn't let her gender, size, or traditional societal norms stop her. Junko trained hard, formed her own climbing club for women, and became passionate about preserving mountains and wild spaces.

Junko's story shows that determination triumphs over every obstacle, and her climb goes beyond her historical accomplishment--as of June 2020, she has inspired 630 females to follow in her footsteps.

It's spring in Grasslands National Park and burrowing owls are returning from a winter away to lay their eggs in this rare and protected habitat.

Lush illustrations celebrate the magnificent wild prairie of Grasslands National Park in southern Saskatchewan and feature the remarkable burrowing owls -- the only owls in the world to live underground! Meet the owls as they prepare a burrow and lay their eggs. See tiny fuzzy owlets hatch and grow before flying south to Mexico and Texas for the winter.

Sadly, these little owls who were once common in the grasslands of western and midwestern North America are now endangered. As the wild prairies were farmed and developed, far fewer places were left for the owls to nest and raise their young.

Today, biologists, Indigenous groups, landowners and conservationists are working hard to restore the vital grasslands and help this precarious species recover.

Includes an author's note about successful burrowing owl recovery programs and other wild animals of Grasslands National Park.

Before stealth bombers flew from Missouri to Tehran and back, battle-worn B-52s pushed crews and machines to the brink in a history-making, out-and-back combat strike. It set the gold standard for global reach-and forever changed the face of modern warfare.

DOOM 34 is the first behind-the-scenes insider's recounting of a high-stakes mission that changed the course of modern combat. It combines the fast-paced, breath-less development of a highly classified, innovative weapon with the selection and training of untested aviators who executed this top-secret Black Ops mission in the run-up to Operation Desert Storm. This mission pushed the limits of human endurance and mechanical design.

Code-named "Senior Surprise" and nicknamed "Secret Squirrel," the mission selected fifty-seven airmen (only one of whom had any combat experience) to fly seven B-52s that were well past their prime on a thirty-five-hour, nonstop flight that was plagued with unforeseen complications from the moment of takeoff.

Trey Morriss was the electronic warfare officer on the fourth B-52-DOOM 34-and, along with his seven crewmen, had a front-row seat to what went down.

Mitsuhiro Matsunaga is an investor relations manager at a large development firm that's currently constructing a new high-rise building. After claims surface online of fires, illness, and even human bones at the site, he ventures there himself to find out whether there's any truth to the rumors. During his search, the eerily dry air underground smells of cremated flesh and bone-- of ash. Eventually, Mitsuhiro stumbles across a mysterious ritual space with a huge hole not on any blueprints and, inside it, a man in chains. He flees aboveground in a panic, only to quickly learn that this is but a taste of the terror that has begun to plague him and his family...Each grievance may be as small as a mote of dust, but a mass of them can defile the gods and spirits, and even turn a ritual hall into a house of curses.TOW UBUKATA Born in 1977 in Gifu Prefecture.

Does happiness come from the pursuit of pleasure or moral virtue? A vivid new translation of Cicero's exploration of a timeless question

"Of course, we all want to be happy." So wrote the Roman statesman, orator, and philosopher Marcus Tullius Cicero. He and his fellow Greek and Roman philosophers agreed that the secret to happiness--or what they called the "good life"--is pursuing the "greatest good." The only problem is that they couldn't agree on what the greatest good is. Cicero addressed this dilemma by composing a set of dialogues, On the Greatest Good and Evil (De finibus bonorum et malorum), in which he pitted advocates of different philosophical approaches to happiness against one another. Notably, these include the Epicureans (who believe that the greatest good is pleasure) and the Stoics (according to whom it is moral virtue). Rather than choosing sides, Cicero considers the pros and cons of the different philosophies, ultimately leaving it to his readers to make up their own minds. In How to Find Happiness, Katharina Volk offers a vivid new translation of selections from Cicero's work, complete with an introduction and the original Latin text on facing pages. The result is a lively and engaging debate that invites each of us to discover our own path to happiness.
