Even Isaac Cline, resident meteorologist for the U.S. Weather Bureau failed to grasp the true meaning of the strange deep-sea swells and peculiar winds that greeted the city that morning. Mere hours later, Galveston found itself submerged in a monster hurricane that completely destroyed the town and killed over six thousand people in what remains the greatest natural disaster in American history--and Isaac Cline found himself the victim of a devastating personal tragedy.\n\nUsing Cline's own telegrams, letters, and reports, the testimony of scores of survivors, and our latest understanding of the science of hurricanes, Erik Larson builds a chronicle of one man's heroic struggle and fatal miscalculation in the face of a storm of unimaginable magnitude. Riveting, powerful, and unbearably suspenseful, Isaac's Storm is the story of what can happen when human arrogance meets the great uncontrollable force of nature.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43817649635465,"sku":"SQ1171287","price":8.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0689\/6087\/8729\/files\/CBC07AC3-265A-4841-86C9-1A1D37A095EF.jpg?v=1746128629"},{"product_id":"enrique-s-journey-by-sonia-nazario","title":"Enrique’s Journey by Sonia Nazario (Paperback)","description":"\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(30, 25, 21);\"\u003eA true story from award-winning journalist Sonia Nazario recounting the odyssey of a Honduran boy who braves hardship and peril to reach his mother in the United States.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this astonishing true story, award-winning journalist Sonia Nazario recounts the unforgettable odyssey of a Honduran boy who braves unimaginable hardship and peril to reach his mother in the United States. When Enrique is five years old, his mother, Lourdes, too poor to feed her children, leaves Honduras to work in the United States. The move allows her to send money back home to Enrique so he can eat better and go to school past the third grade. Lourdes promises Enrique she will return quickly. But she struggles in America. Years pass. He begs for his mother to come back. Without her, he becomes lonely and troubled. When she calls, Lourdes tells him to be patient. Enrique despairs of ever seeing her again. After eleven years apart, he decides he will go find her. Enrique sets off alone from Tegucigalpa, with little more than a slip of paper bearing his mother's North Carolina telephone number. Without money, he will make the dangerous and illegal trek up the length of Mexico the only way he can – clinging to the sides and tops of freight trains. With gritty determination and a deep longing to be by his mother's side, Enrique travels through hostile, unknown worlds. Each step of the way through Mexico, he and other migrants, many of them children, are hunted like animals. Gangsters control the tops of the trains. Bandits rob and kill migrants up and down the tracks. Corrupt cops all along the route are out to fleece and deport them. To evade Mexican police and immigration authorities, they must jump onto and off the moving boxcars they call El Tren de la Muerte- The Train of Death. Enrique pushes forward using his wit, courage, and hope - and the kindness of strangers. It is an epic journey, one thousands of immigrant children make each year to find their mothers in the United States. Based on the Los Angeles Times newspaper series that won two Pulitzer Prizes, one for feature writing and another for feature photography, Enrique's Journey is the timeless story of families torn apart, the yearning to be together again, and a boy who will risk his life to find the mother he loves.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Next Chapter Books \u0026 Bookmobile","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43817649733769,"sku":"SQ6061696","price":2.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0689\/6087\/8729\/files\/B6489B3C-E974-4AAB-974F-9787ACBD0F4E.jpg?v=1746128627"},{"product_id":"midnight-in-the-garden-of-good-and-evil-a-savannah-story-by-john-berendt","title":"Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil: A Savannah Story by John Berendt","description":"\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eGenteel society ladies who compare notes on their husbands’ suicides.

John Berendt's narrative reads like a thoroughly engrossing novel, and yet it is a work of nonfiction. Berendt interweaves a first-person account of life in this isolated remnant of the Old South with the unpredictable twists and turns of a landmark murder case.\n\nThe story is peopled by a gallery of remarkable characters: the well-bred society ladies of the Married Woman's Card Club; the turbulent young redneck gigolo; the hapless recluse who owns a bottle of poison so powerful it could kill every man, woman, and child in Savannah; the aging and profane Southern belle who is the \"soul of pampered self-absorption\"; the uproarious black drag queen; the acerbic and arrogant antiques dealer; the sweet-talking, piano-playing con artist; young blacks dancing the minuet at the black debutante ball; and Minerva, the voodoo priestess who works her magic in the graveyard at midnight.

At its heart are Powell's \"Thirteen Rules\"—notes he gathered over the years and that now form the basis of his leadership presentations given throughout the world. Powell's short but sweet rules—among them, \"Get mad, then get over it\" and \"Share credit\"—are illustrated by revealing personal stories that introduce and expand upon his principles for effective leadership: conviction, hard work, and, above all, respect for others. In work and in life, Powell writes, \"it's about how we touch and are touched by the people we meet. It's all about the people.\"\n\nA natural storyteller, Powell offers warm and engaging parables with wise advice on succeeding in the workplace and beyond. \"Trust your people,\" he counsels as he delegates presidential briefing responsibilities to two junior State Department desk officers. \"Do your best—someone is watching,\" he advises those just starting out, recalling his own teenage summer job mopping floors in a soda-bottling factory.\n\nPowell combines the insights he has gained serving in the top ranks of the military and in four presidential administrations with the lessons he's learned from his immigrant-family upbringing in the Bronx, his training in the ROTC, and his growth as an Army officer. The result is a powerful portrait of a leader who is reflective, self-effacing, and grateful for the contributions of everyone he works with.\n\nColin Powell's It Worked for Me is bound to inspire, move, and surprise readers.

But he was soon overcome by the herd of rambunctious, resilient children who would challenge and reward him in a way that he had never imagined. When Conor learned the unthinkable truth about their situation, he was stunned: The children were not orphans at all. Child traffickers were promising families in remote villages to protect their children from the civil war - for a huge fee - by taking them to safety. They would then abandon the children far from home, in the chaos of Nepal's capital, Kathmandu.\n\nFor Conor, what began as a footloose adventure becomes a commitment to reunite the children he had grown to love with their families, but this would be no small task. He would risk his life on a journey through the legendary mountains of Nepal, facing the dangers of a bloody civil war and a debilitating injury. Waiting for Conor back in Kathmandu, and hopeful he would make it out before being trapped in by snow, was the woman who would eventually become his wife and share his life's work.\n\nLittle Princes is a true story of families and children, and what one person is capable of when faced with seemingly insurmountable odds. At turns tragic, joyful, and hilarious, Little Princes is a testament to the power of faith and the ability of love to carry us beyond our wildest expectations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Next Chapter Books \u0026 Bookmobile","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43817651568777,"sku":"9780061930058","price":13.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0689\/6087\/8729\/files\/Little_Princes.jpg?v=1746128600"},{"product_id":"the-four-agreements-a-practical-guide-to-personal-freedom-by-miguel-ruiz","title":"The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom by Miguel Ruiz (Paperback)","description":"\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(24, 24, 24)\"\u003eIn The Four Agreements, don Miguel Ruiz reveals the source of self-limiting beliefs that rob us of joy and create needless suffering.

Beretta remains under the stewardship of its founding family, headed now by Ugo Gussalli Beretta and his sons, Pietro and Franco. Today the Beretta line of firearms and accessories reigns as one of the few international brands symbolic of unsurpassed quality. But no other firm goes back so far in history, or reaches so many corners of the globe, as Beretta.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Italian company stands supreme partly because it is on the cutting edge--of design, quality, manufacture, performance, and style. Through the centuries, the family has guided the company in the transition from specialist gun-barrel makers to, in Napoleonic times, creator of sporting firearms, later adding military and law-enforcement arms and importing arms by Colt, Remington, S\u0026amp;W, and Winchester, still later developing one of the first international industrial enterprises.\n\nThe Beretta line is the firearms enthusiast's dream: self-loading pistols, rifles, and shotguns; bolt-action rifles; double-barrel over-and-under and side-by-side sporting rifles and shotguns; single-barrel trap guns; and from these, a refined line of premium-grade guns unsurpassed by any gunmaker in the world. All are created with the perfect melding of the most advanced, space-age, computer-generated production machinery, in concert with traditional hand craftsmanship, in the ancient gunmaking village of Gardone, Val Trompia.\n\nIn 1985, Beretta's classic Model 92 pistol was adopted as the M9, the official U.S. Armed Forces sidearm, following extensive competition with the designs of other companies, sessions that subjected the pistol to the most rigorous tests. The Model 92 is the most widely used self-loading pistol in law enforcement and the military in the world today.\n\nBeretta shooters dominate national, international, and Olympic shotgun competitions, and are a commanding factor in the rapidly developing world of sporting clays.\n\nThis richly illustrated, beautifully presented work joins R. L. Wilson's other firearms classics: Colt: An American Legend; Winchester: An American Legend; The Peacemakers; Steel Canvas; Ruger \u0026amp; His Guns; and Buffalo Bill's Wild West--a collection of books that comprise an unsurpassed tribute to the art, craftsmanship, history, mechanics, performance, and romance unique to fine guns.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43817667821705,"sku":"SQ6648919","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0689\/6087\/8729\/files\/World_of_Beretta.jpg?v=1746128407"},{"product_id":"a-handbook-of-fighter-aircraft-by-francis-crosby","title":"A Handbook Of Fighter Aircraft by Francis Crosby","description":"\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(24, 24, 24)\"\u003eAn Illustrated history of fighter aircraft, their origins and evolution.

But in practice, it is prosecutors who have the upper hand, in a contest that is far from equal. More than anyone else, prosecutors decide who goes free and who goes to prison, and even who lives and who dies. The system wasn't designed for this kind of unchecked power, and in Charged, Emily Bazelon shows that it is an underreported cause of enormous injustice—and the missing piece in the mass incarceration puzzle.\n\nBut that's only half the story. Prosecution in America is at a crossroads. The power of prosecutors makes them the actors in the system—the only actors—who can fix what's broken without changing a single law. They can end mass incarceration, protect against coercive plea bargains and convicting the innocent, and tackle racial bias. And because in almost every state we, the people, elect prosecutors, it is within our power to reshape the choices they make. In the last few years, for the first time in American history, a wave of reform-minded prosecutors has taken office in major cities throughout the country. Bazelon follows them, showing the difference they make for people caught in the system and how they are coming together as a new kind of lobby for justice and mercy.\n\nIn Charged, Emily Bazelon mounts a major critique of the American criminal justice system—and also offers a way out.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43817685844105,"sku":"SQ2838649","price":9.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0689\/6087\/8729\/files\/Charged-_Overzealous_Prosecutors_2C_the_Quest_for_Mercy_2C_and_the_Fight_to_Transform_Criminal_Justice_in_America.jpg?v=1746128161"},{"product_id":"yes-please-by-amy-poehler","title":"Yes Please by Amy Poehler","description":"\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(30, 25, 21)\"\u003eIn Amy Poehler’s highly anticipated first book, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eYes Please\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(30, 25, 21)\"\u003e, she offers up a big juicy stew of personal stories, funny bits on sex and love and friendship and parenthood and real life advice (some useful, some not so much), like when to be funny and when to be serious.

Above all, she was a survivor—by the time she was twenty-six she was twice divorced and once widowed. Her life was a soap opera that ended in a deeply meaningful way when she became the first major celebrity activist to lead the fight against HIV\/AIDS. A co-founder of amfAR, she raised more than $100 million for research and patient care. She was also a shrewd businesswoman who made a fortune as the first celebrity perfumer who always demanded to be paid what she was worth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the first ever authorized biography of the Hollywood icon, Kate Andersen Brower reveals the world through Elizabeth’s eyes.

He sees it through his trademark glasses and irrepressible wit. Raised in the “shot and beer” town of Hazleton, PA, and forged by 15 years in the minors, Maddon over 19 seasons in Tampa Bay, Chicago, and Anaheim has become one of the most successful, most colorful, and most quoted managers in Major League Baseball. He is a workplace culture expert, having engineered two of the most stunning turnarounds in the past quarter century: taking the Rays from the worst record in baseball one year to the World Series the next and leading the Cubs to their first World Series title in 108 years.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eLike his teams, Maddon defies convention. He is part strategist, part philosopher, part sports psychologist, and part motivational coach. In THE BOOK OF JOE, Maddon gives readers unique insights into the game, including the tension between art and data, the changing role of managers as front offices gain power, why the honeymoon with the Cubs did not last, and what it’s like to manage the modern player, including stars such as Shohei Ohtani, Mike Trout, Albert Pujols, Yu Darvish, and Kris Bryant.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eBut you expect even more from a manager who meditates daily, admires Twain, and has only one rule when it comes to a team dress code: “If you think you look hot, wear it!” And Maddon delivers.

His mantras about leadership, mentorship, team building, and communication are meditations on life, not just baseball.
