Lavishly illustrated with original watercolors that depict the glories of the California coast, this book takes an appealingly idiosyncratic perspective as the authors record their explorations off the beaten path, their serendipitous discoveries, and their reactions to the places and people they encounter. A contemplative mixture of captivating artistry and personal essay, this travelogue offers an accessible introduction to many little-known details of scenic California. |

| Title: As the Crow Dies |
| By (author): Kenneth Butcher |
| ISBN10-13: 1610353617 : 9781610353618 |
| A bookish police detective and his roller-derby-star partner investigate a quirky mystery involving superintelligent animals, government conspiracy and murder in the delightful new mystery As the Crow Dies.When a body is found in the River Arts District of Asheville, North Carolina, the man on the case is police lieutenant Ira Segal, recently returned to semi-active status after being shot in the line of duty and struggling with depression and PTSD. Segal maintains his precarious composure by carrying paperback books in his coat pockets, changing authors with his mood Elmore Leonard on good days, Ernest Hemingway on bad ones. Segal isnt sure hes up to investigating a murder, and neither is his partner, military veteran and local roller derby star Sgt. Dinah Dinosaur Rudisill. Segal discovers that the victim worked for the mysterious start-up company Creatures 2.0, which trains animals to acquire uncanny capabilities. Creature 2.0s eccentric founder, Francis Elah, has gone missing, and no one can find himnot even Elahs top client, the Office of Naval Intelligence. As Segal and Rudisill investigate the murder and Elahs disappearance, they encounter the bizarre animals Elah trained, including a raccoon who rolls cigarettes, pigeons who follow a priest to church, and a superintelligent crow named Richard, who has a disconcerting way of bringing relevant evidence to Segal and Rudisills attention. When their investigation leads to a shadowy military contractor, more murders, and a threat to national security, Segal and Rudisill face a dangerous confrontation, and the only thing they can trust is each other. Witty, engaging and fast paced, As the Crow Dies is a mystery that veers from the norm in charmingly unexpected ways. |

| Title: Be the Awesome Man |
| Sub-title: A Mans Guide to Achieving Discipline, Success, and Happiness |
| By (author): Dennis Gazarek |
| ISBN10-13: 1610353374 : 9781610353373 |
| Written for a generation of young men in crisis, Be the Awesome Man preaches a return to traditional male values of discipline, honour and accomplishment. Be the Awesome Man is a diagnosis and a prescription for todays young men ages 16 to 25, who are finding it difficult to enter adulthood. Young men are underachieving in unprecedented numbers. More and more young men are not attaining standard benchmarks of maturity, such as entering and graduating from higher education, finding a career, establishing their financial independence or living on their own. Drawing on his real-world experience as a coach, mentor and father, author Dennis Gazarek teaches that young men must return to age-old ideals that have inspired generations of high-achieving men: virtue, self-discipline, moral integrity and postponing immediate pleasures in order to accomplish more important goals. Written in a sensible, easy-to-read format, Be the Awesome Man exposes the roots of male underachievement and provides specific plans, practices, benchmarks and exercises to guide young men, as well as their parents, teachers, ministers, coaches, and other mentors. Be the Awesome Man covers topics that every young man struggles with, including overcoming fear, becoming self-disciplined, developing high ethical standards, and identifying ones core values. Combining old-fashioned wisdom, a critical analysis of modern culture and a tough-minded program of character development, Be the Awesome Man is a must-read guide for young men who want to achieve lasting success and personal happiness. |

| Title: Black Bart -- Boulevardier Bandit |
| Sub-title: The Saga of California's Most Mysterious Stagecoach Robber & the Men Who Sought to Capture Him |
| By (author): George Hoeper |
| ISBN10-13: 1884995055 : 9781884995057 |
| California Gold Country historian George Hoeper reveals what promises to be the final piece to the 100-year-old puzzle of the infamous stagecoach robber Black Bart. For over eight years the mysterious and very polite Charles Boles (alias Black Bart) plagued Wells Fargo & Co. with a string of at least 28 stagecoach robberies. During theis time, Bart, who operated on foot with an unloaded shotgun and never robbed stagecoach passengers or drivers, soon became something of a folk legend. Between robberies Bart would live the life of a boulevardier in San Francisco, hobnobbing with the city's best. In 1888 he disappeared from the Palace Hotel in Visalia, CA, never to be heard from again. Speculation has placed Bart in many places, including the Eastern Seaboard, Mexico and Japan, but according to information Hoeper has uncovered, it is more likely the legendary Black Bart met his demise in the dry Nevada wasteland and today rests in a sandy, unmarked grave. |

| Title: Boneheads and Brainiacs |
| Sub-title: Heroes and Scoundrels of the Nobel Prize in Medicine |
| By (author): Moira Dolan |
| ISBN10-13: 1610353501 : 9781610353502 |
| Even the greatest minds in medicine have been terribly, terribly wrong. The inventor of the lobotomy won a Nobel prize in medicine for destroying his patients brains. Another Nobel laureate thought malaria cured syphilis. The discoverer of anaphylactic shock also researched the spirit world and ESP. A pioneer of organ transplants was an ardent eugenicist, while the founder of sports physiology heroically spoke out against Nazism. Boneheads and Brainiacs profiles the winners of the Nobel Prize in Medicine from 1901 to 1950 -- a surprisingly diverse group of racists, cranks and opportunists, as well as heroes, geniuses and selfless benefactors of humanity. Forget all the ivory tower stereotypes of white-coated doctors finding miracle cures. Boneheads and Brainiacs reveals the messy human reality behind medical progress, in a highly entertaining book written for the ordinary reader. Some were bad scientists; others were great scientists and lousy human beings. But the majority of these researchers produced knowledge that now saves millions of lives -- priceless discoveries like the role of vitamins in nutrition, the dangers of radiation, treatments for diabetes and deadly infectious diseases, and more. Boneheads and Brainiacs showcases the enthralling, all too human personal lives that made modern medicine possible. An absorbing and easy-to-read history of medical progress in the 20th century -- and a fascinating roundup of unforgettable and eccentric characters this book will make you look at medicine and science in a whole new way. |

| Title: Book of Wood Names |
| By (author): Hans Meyer |
| ISBN10-13: 0941936627 : 9780941936620 |
| Containing over 30,000 wood names with their corresponding commercial, common, and vernacular names, this book was originally published in Germany in 1936 and has long been unavailable. It includes the species, family, and area or country of origin for each wood. But its greatest value lies in the quantity of common or local names for various timbers, a topic of growing concern as the export of native woods increases. Containing Spanish, French, German, and English vernacular names, this book is useful for commercial buyers as well as the hobbyist or wood collector. |

| By (author): Rick Wiebe |
| ISBN10-13: 1610359925 : 9781610359924 |
| BUSHCRAFT WHITTLING presents an easy and fun introduction to an essential self-sufficiency skill for hunters, hikers, and outdoor enthusiasts of all kinds. Bushcraft whittling -- the art of shaping improvised campsite and hiking implements -- requires no special tools or complex techniques, and you can practice on just about any wood that comes to hand. Plus, being able to make your firewood tinder, tent pegs, walking sticks, roasting sticks, digging tools and more can be a lifesaver on the trail. Master whittler Rick Wiebe shows step-by-step how anyone with a common pocketknife, a hatchet, and an itch to do something with their hands can make projects that are fun, eye-catching, and useful. The book will show you the tools you need (all available at any hardware store), the right cutting techniques, carving safety, how to select the right wood, and how to make dozens of useful items at your campsite. Everyone who spends time in the outdoors -- campers, hikers, ramblers, hunters, fishermen, skiers, and any kind of sportsman -- needs to master the art of bushcraft whittling. Additionally, bushcraft whittling is the perfect low-effort introduction to the fun and relaxing hobby of whittling, as well as an excuse to use that fun knife you just bought. If youre an outdoorsy person -- or even if you just want to be an outdoorsy person someday -- BUSHCRAFT WHITTLING is a must-have book. |
