Book Description
Join James Endredy, noted author and shamanic practitioner, on a bizarre, brutal, and exhilarating excursion into realities that few people have had a chance to explore. Whether it's discovering how to dream with the Lords of the Underworld or learning to fly with the help of his eagle nagual, outwitting a soul-stealing sorceress in Veracruz or conversing with the spirit of an ancient dwarf king, these gripping firsthand accounts chronicle Endredy's mystical experiences while living and working with fifteen indigenous cultures in North and South America, Hawaii, and Mexico. Endredy's amazing, arduous, and sometimes life-threatening shamanic initiations and lessons illustrate the interconnectedness of all life, the importance of being humble enough to laugh at yourself, and the need to respect and learn from nature and her children.

Book Description
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • From the author of Ghost Soldiers comes an eye-opening history of the American conquest of the West—"a story full of authority and color, truth and prophecy" (The New York Times Book Review). In the summer of 1846, the Army of the West marched through Santa Fe, en route to invade and occupy the Western territories claimed by Mexico. Fueled by the new ideology of “Manifest Destiny,” this land grab would lead to a decades-long battle between the United States and the Navajos, the fiercely resistant rulers of a huge swath of mountainous desert wilderness. At the center of this sweeping tale is Kit Carson, the trapper, scout, and soldier whose adventures made him a legend. Sides shows us how this illiterate mountain man understood and respected the Western tribes better than any other American, yet willingly followed orders that would ultimately devastate the Navajo nation. Rich in detail and spanning more than three decades, this is an essential addition to our understanding of how the West was really won.

Book Description
An instant New York Times bestseller, this prequel to the acclaimed Cork O’Connor series is “a pitch perfect, richly imagined story that is both an edge-of-your-seat thriller and an evocative, emotionally charged coming-of-age tale” (Kristin Hannah, #1 New York Times bestselling author) about fathers and sons, small-town conflicts, and the events that shape our lives forever. Aurora is a small town nestled in the ancient forest alongside the shores of Minnesota’s Iron Lake. In the summer of 1963, it is the whole world to twelve-year-old Cork O’Connor, its rhythms as familiar as his own heartbeat. But when Cork stumbles upon the body of a man he revered hanging from a tree in an abandoned logging camp, it is the first in a series of events that will cause him to question everything he took for granted about his hometown, his family, and himself. Cork’s father, Liam O’Connor, is Aurora’s sheriff and it is his job to confirm that the man’s death was the result of suicide, as all the evidence suggests. In the shadow of his father’s official investigation, Cork begins to look for answers on his own. Together, father and son face the ultimate test of choosing between what their heads tell them is true and what their hearts know is right. In this “brilliant achievement, and one every crime reader and writer needs to celebrate” (Louise Penny, #1 New York Times bestselling author), beloved novelist William Kent Krueger shows that some mysteries can be solved even as others surpass our understanding.

Book Description
Mender was a wonderful man who followed in the dictates and aspirations of the Lord. He fought vigorously to ensure that Africa did not fall into the hands of the British Empire. His history is a story of a brave and a daring African who singlehandedly decided to liberate Africa from the hands of colonialist Britain. I know no other person that had done so much for the continent of Africa as Mender in our entire history. Mender's name is not a household name for obvious reasons as could be understood from reading of this book, but his legacy shall remain etched in the hearts of all Africans. His contribution is immense and his role in the liberation of Africa is incomparable with any other individual in the continent.
