Five hundred feet underground, the author asked a coal miner named Smitty, Do you think its weird that people know so little about you? He replied, I dont think people know too much about the way the whole damn country works. This book intends to fix that. Like John McPhee and Susan Orlean, the author dives deep into her subjects and emerges with character-driven narratives that are gripping, funny, and revelatory. In this book the stories are about the people who make our lives run every day, and yet we barely think of them. The author spent weeks in an Ohio coal mine and on an Alaskan oil rig; in a Maine migrant labor camp, a Texas beef ranch, the air traffic control tower at New Yorks LaGuardia Airport, a California landfill, an Arizona gun shop, the cab of a long haul truck in Iowa, and the stadium of the Cincinnati Ben-Gals cheerleaders. Cheerleaders? Yes. They, too, are hidden America, and you will be amazed by what this book tells you about them: hidden no longer. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1569071 Taylor Edwards family might not be the closest-knit--everyone is a little too busy and overscheduled--but for the most part, they get along just fine. Then Taylors dad gets devastating news, and her parents decide that the family will spend one last summer all together at their old lake house in the Pocono Mountains. Crammed into a place much smaller and more rustic than they are used to, they begin to get to know each other again. And Taylor discovers that the people she thought she had left behind havent actually gone anywhere. Her former best friend is still around, as is her first boyfriend...and hes much cuter at seventeen than he was at twelve. As the summer progresses and the Edwards become more of a family, theyre more aware than ever that theyre battling a ticking clock. Sometimes, though, there is just enough time to get a second chance--with family, with friends, and with love-- http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1522539 In 2006, Shadid, an Arab-American raised in Oklahoma, was covering Israels attack on Lebanon when he heard that an Israeli rocket had crashed into the house his great-grandfather built, his familys ancestral home. Not long after, Shadid (who had covered three wars in the Middle East) realized that he had lost his passion for a region that had lost its soul. He had seen too much violence and death; his career had destroyed his marriage. Seeking renewal, he set out to rebuild the house that held his familys past in the town they had helped settle long ago. Although the course of the reconstruction is complicated by craftsmen with too much personality, squabbles with his extended family, and Lebanons political strife, Shadid is restored along with the house and finds that his understanding of the Middle East, which he had known chiefly in wartime, has been deepened by his immersion in smalltown life. Coming to terms with his familys emigrant experience and their towns history, the homeless Shadid finds home and comes to understand the emotions behind the turbulence of the Middle East. In a moving epilogue, Shadid describes returning to this house after a nearly disastrous week as a prisoner of war in Libya along with the first visit of his daughter. Combining the human interest of The Bookseller of Kabul and Three Cups of Tea with the light touch of an expert determined, first, to tell a story, Shadid tells the story of a reconstruction effort that would have sent Frances Mayes to a psychiatric hospital as he brings to life unforgettable characters who lives help explain not just the modern Middle East but the legacy of those who have survived generations of war. He flashes back to his familys loss of home, their suffering during their countrys dark days, and their experiences as newcomers in Oklahoma. This is a book about what propels the Middle Easts rage, loss of home, and what it must examine and re-find, the sense of shared community. Far surpassing the usual reporters tour of duty, books, House of Stone is more humane and compelling and will please students of the region, those whose families have emigrated from other nations, and all readers engaged by engrossing storytelling-- http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1576510 Borrows themes from famous poems and flips them on their head to create humorous verses and riddles in a collection of math-based problem-solving parodies. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1646907 The legendary baseball manager takes readers behind the scenes of the St. Louis Cardinals 2011 season, detailing a journey that resulted in one of the most dramatic World Series of all time. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1365180 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1668015 Unbored is the most original, entertaining, and instructive all-in-one book for kids ever published--jam-packed with information, ideas, and activities for children and their parents to share together.

Enterprise is credited with sinking or wrecking 71 Japanese ships and destroying 911 enemy aircraft. This is the epic, heroic story of this legendary aircraft carrier--nicknamed the fightingest ship in the U.S. Navy--and of the men who fought and died on her. She was commissioned in 1938, and her bombers sank a submarine just three days after the Pearl Harbor attack, claiming the first seagoing Japanese vessel lost in the war. Barrett Tillman has been called the man who owns naval aviation history. Hes mined official records and oral histories as well as his own interviews to give us not only a portrait of the ships unique contribution to winning the Pacific war, but also unforgettable portraits of the men who flew from her deck and worked behind the scenes to make success possible.--From publisher description. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1477746 When Sarah, the woman he once loved, unexpectedly comes back into his life, along with the daughter he never knew he had, former bad boy Cameron Murphy returns home to Eternity Springs to prove to Sarah, to the town, and to himself that everybody was wrong about him. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1535831 Sixteen-year-old Ella Marino is nearly invisible at Willing School, but while seriously crushing on her French tutor--the very visible Alex Bainbridge--her French lessons suddenly become even more interesting. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1585698 Some desserts in jars are baked or otherwise prepared right in the jar, while others are spooned into jars. Either way, the sparkling and pretty vessel and the appealing treat it holds make for a beautiful presentation. Olmansons clever and cute desserts are at once playful and well-crafted, appropriate for a kids birthday one weekend (Peanut Butter Cup Cupcakes) and a grown-up gathering, the next (Neapolitan Cakes). The book includes chapters on cakes, pies, crumbles and cobblers, quick breads and frozen indulgences like Strawberry Lemonade Granitas. Desserts in jars are fun to make and, of course, to eat, and they are especially suited for gift-giving. They store, travel and stay fresh well, and even can be delivered with a lid on the jar and with gift tags, ribbons, and other embellishments. Olmanson devotes a special chapter to as-yet-unbaked mixes, with the flour, brown sugar, and so on attractively layered in the jar, a timeless idea now undergoing its own revival. -- http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1640267 An introduction to fairy folklore shares historical tales of fairy sightings from various cultures, from the West African forest fairies to Scotlands magical brownies. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1518296 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1511038 A Food Network Cupcake Wars winner shares her scrumptious recipes in a new cookbook that has vegans and omnivores alike clamoring for more.
