Combining cute, high-interest subject matter with age-appropriate scientific study, this book is a must-read for young animal lovers and life science enthusiasts.

“The captivating cut-paper–and-ink illustrations . . . perfectly suit the prose’s quiet grandeur. . . . Charming, scenic, and a winning must for the youngest polar bear lovers.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Follow a magnificent polar bear through a fantastic world of snow and shockingly blue sea.

Acclaimed author Mac Barnett’s narration deftly balances suspense and emotion, as well as poignant, subtle themes, compelling us to follow the bear with each page turn. Artist Shawn Harris’s striking torn-paper illustrations layer white-on-white hues with bolts of blue and an interplay of shadow and light for a gorgeous view of a stark yet beautiful landscape.

Book Description
Overlapping with and compounding the impacts of post-traumatic stress disorder, mefloquine toxicity is a condition caused by anti-malarial drugs once routinely used in the Canadian Armed Forces—issued and ordered to be taken by tens of thousands of veterans, some still serving, left with a condition that has impacted thousands of veterans termed Quinism and has for too long been ignored. These invisible wounds are laid bare in Delegate and Disappear, Bruce Given’s stunningly honest story of his service and sacrifice with the Canadian Armed Forces. In this gripping memoir, Given generously offers his experiences, making it clear that the battle does not end when veterans return home from service—the fight continues to ensure that adequate supports for veterans and the truth about mefloquine toxicity are not denied, and to survive the physical and mental conditions that often follow service. Given refuses to let those at the top simply disappear after giving the orders. In sharing his story, he is saying enough is enough; it’s time for veterans to be heard.

Book Description
Andrew Mueller is Australian by birth, a Londoner by choice, a wanderer by nature, and a journalist by profession. Unable to decide between being a rock critic, travel writer, or foreign correspondent, he hit upon the novel, if time-consuming, solution of trying to be all three at once. In Rock and Hard Places, published originally in the U.K. in 1999, now re-envisioned and updated and available for the first time in the United States, he travels to Lebanon with the Prodigy, comes to America with Radiohead, and goes all over the place with U2. He ventures to Bosnia Herzegovina with an aid convoy in the middle of the war, sees Def Leppard play in a cave in Morocco, and attempts to ask the Taliban not only what they think they’re up to, but who they fancy for the World Cup. He flings himself head first down the Cresta Run, sits in Stalin’s armchair, chases ambulances through Moscow, chases some kind of lost tribe in India, wakes up at least once in a park in Reykjavik, and strongly advises avoiding the seafood salad in Sapporo Airport. He’s funny. Occasionally he makes a point.
