Forever Young
He walked on the Moon. He flew six space missions in three different programs--more than any other human. He served with NASA for more than four decades. His peers called him the "astronaut's astronaut."

Forever Young delivers all that and more: Young's personal journey from engineering graduate to fighter pilot, to test pilot, to astronaut, to high NASA official, to clear-headed predictor of the fate of Planet Earth. Young, with the assistance of internationally distinguished aerospace hist...

Farewell Tour of a Terminal Optimist
Quick-witted, sharp-tongued Connor Lambert won't take it any longer: the bullying, the secrets, the sympathy. He's been dying from cancer for years, but he’s not dead yet. He's going down fighting. Forming an unlikely friendship with fellow juvenile delinquent Skeates, the pair stage a break out and set off on a crazy tour across Scotland -- dodging the police, joy riding and extreme partying -- to find Connor's dad, an inmate at Shotts prison. But Connor's left two things behind -- the medication he needs to keep him alive, and the girl who makes living bearable. A fresh and bold debut novel full of heart, guts and raw emotion. Farewell Tour of a Terminal Optimist is a brilliantly funny, thrilling exploration of friendship, identity and mortality populated with witty, sharply drawn characters.

The Nottingham Captain
England in 1817 was a place where many suffered great hardships under a notoriously oppressive government. Life was often brief and brutal. The economy was depressed, unemployment high and the harvest the poorest in living memory. Unscrupulous manufacturers and merchants were destroying a heritage of craftsmanship and replacing it with factories and mills that mass-produced poor quality goods. Women and children worked endless hours for starvation wages while skilled men were unemployed. Petitions from all over the country begged the government to provide relief for the thousands who were unable to earn enough to feed themselves, but these were rejected out of hand. In contrast, the decadenc...
