The story line — all true and meticulously researched — is basically that a tiger goes rogue, begins to hunt down human pray with a vengeance, and finally is hunted down itself. There is much about tigers generally, rogue or not.

Both play out in the hardscrabble farm country of the western Great Lakes. The land and water have much to do with both, as do the tragic longings and wanderings of his human characters. So, what shelf do we put this one on? We should probably get seven copies and put one in each.

This is an absolutely original, totally idiosyncratic book. We have not read anything quite like it. It is mainly in the realm of the biological sciences, but, as David Abram puts it, it is "Loopy, mad-hatterish, infernally addictive writing that makes you sneeze. Our cousin, Larry Pray, who spends a lot of time up here at the family cabin near the sea caves, has written a new and important book about healing after a stroke or other brain injury. He writes from his personal experience as a life-long Type-1 diabetic who has survived two heart attacks and two major strokes.

Larry is a writer, painter, teacher and pastor. Gumm places that story in the context of how the brain works and what happens when it is injured. This is a heartfelt book about the happiness a little girl can bring to a dark world. Annabelle finds a box of yarn that seems to be never-ending. She uses the box of yarn to knit sweaters for everyone and everything in her dreary town.

This magical box of yarn brings light to this little girl, her dog, and the world around her. She is not even phased when a rich Archduke comes to offer her millions of dollars for her box of yarn. It will only work for her as she does the job of lifting this town up with a little bit of extra yarn. With beautiful illustrations, this book is perfect for a dreary winter day! Rainbow Rowell Young Adult St. The teenage years are often remembered as some of the hardest of our lives.

This beautiful and haunting love story reminds us of exactly that. This is the story of Eleanor, a "big girl" with red hair, and Park, a half-Korean kid whose passions are comic books and good music. These two meet, fall in love, and quickly discover that their biggest obstacle isn't their relationship, but the pressures of the world around them. By society's standards, Eleanor shouldn't have a boyfriend because she's fat, poor, and dresses funny. Is it possible for their love to conquer and overcome these obstacles? We won't spoil that one for you! Have you seen those images of the "pink slime" that is what many fast food chains use to create their "meat" on their menus?

Michael Moss was one of the first who brought these practices to our attention. In Salt Sugar Fat , Moss illustrates how our country has become obsessed and at times addicted to consuming processed foods. This is not a scathing expose, but more a truly helpful book offering resources for those who want to simply learn to eat better and more responsibly. The simple practice of limiting your grocery shopping to to outer aisles of your grocery store is a great place to start! Geared for readers age 11 and up, Going Blue is an exciting challenge to kids to analyze the issues about water purity, investigate our dependency on clean water supplies, prepare with further understanding of the immensity of the issues and problems, suggested ways to take effective action, a chance to step back and reflect, and finally a chapter on publicity, or demonstration by sharing your stories of going blue.

Going Blue is a mini treasure trove of information and well documented research and action stories about communities which have made positive choices to help clean up water resources. She served on the court from to and was the crucial swing-vote at what then was a delicate center of the now deeply divided court. We feature it not because it is a terrific book — in fact it is somewhat pedestrian — but because it illustrates what many consider her legacy on the court — a very sharp and thoughtful legal analyst, but one so aversive to controversy that she often seemed to side with Justice Rehnquist and others just to avoid conflict.

That characteristic shows in this book also. Her vote on Bush vs. Gore is the most compelling case-in-point! What time does to memory and what memory does to time, how they interact.
