Book Description
Hitch a ride with JW Palmer on a journey of love, joy, pain and awakening, as he rides his bicycle alone across the heartland of America. Bewildered by the blur of events -- two years in Vietnam, four years in college, and six in a mind-numbing marriage -- he was suffering from PTSD. As his wheels turn, he untangles his mind and emotions one revolution at a time. Through a succession of vignettes we get to peer into his soul, as he struggles to evolve within the chrysalis of the '70s. Disillusioned after finishing college in 1974, he and his wife split up and he went looking for answers. As he fights his mind, the wind and the terrain, he meets the amazing people and animals who live in the middle of the country. People are interested in his story, and the shy poet evolves into a skilled storyteller, telling them about his trip and us about his search for the light at the end of the tunnel, as he finds out that the light he is looking for is within ...blazing away like the sun shining at midnight. About the Author: Originally from Richmond, Indiana, Alan Joseph Parker now lives in Portland, Oregon.I wrote my first poem in 1968 sitting on a rock in Vietnam watching the full harvest moon rise through scattered clouds over the mountains, and feeling at peace in the middle of the war. I have been writing ever since. I have hundreds of poems but this is my first novel. Publisher's website: http: //www.sbpra.com/AlanJosephParke

Book Description
In the far northern parts of the world, near and above the Arctic Circle, summer days are very long. In Barrow, Alaska, for example, the sun rises in May and sets 83 days later, in early August. During this time, the sun shines all through the night. People call it the midnight sun. When the midnight sun is shining, people and animals stay active even at night. This sweet poetic narrative, illustrated by award-winner Jeremiah Trammell, showcases the many pleasures of this unique time as a little girl dances, fishes, plays games, watches moose and fox, and communes with family and nature.

Book Description
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Cockroaches, a “forcefully written story of personal defeat, despair, and salvation” (The New York Times Book Review) about a man with one small problem—his former boss, Oslo's most notorious drug kingpin, wants him dead. "A fun read, with a likable protagonist and a brisk, page-turning pace." —Los Angeles Times Ulf was once the kingpin's fixer, but after betraying him, Ulf is now the one his former boss wants fixed. Hiding out at the end of the line in northern Norway, Ulf lives among the locals. A mother and son befriend him, and their companionship stirs something deep in him that he thought was long dead. As he awaits the inevitable arrival of his murderous pursuers, he questions if redemption is at all possible or if, as he's always believed, “hope is a real bastard.”

Book Description
This book is a practical, portable guide to all of the Arctic's natural history—sky, atmosphere, terrain, ice, the sea, plants, birds, mammals, fish, and insects—for those who will experience the Arctic firsthand and for armchair travelers who would just as soon read about its splendors and surprises. It is packed with answers to naturalists' questions and with questions—some of them answered—that naturalists may not even have thought of.
