Millennium Mom: 100 Tips to Help You Go from a Working Woman to a Working Mom (Paperback)
Joanna Zucker
A few years ago Joanna Zucker, a brand manager at Proctor & Gamble,
faced a common dilemma. Her career was moving along nicely when she got
the wonderful news that she was going to have a baby. She planned to
return to work after giving birth, but things got more complicated than
she'd anticipated. Along with the needs and demands of her job, she had
a family with just as many needs and demands. Zucker rose to the
challenge with such success that her friends kept asking her, "How do
you do it?" Millennium Mom answers that question.
Zucker devised a system of "Cardinal Principles" that address the
partnership with one's spouse, the type of career desired, the goals
set for both family and career, and the complex emotions that come from
being a working mom. She covers household management, travel, balancing
work schedules with time at home, as well as shopping, cleaning,
cooking, and handling special occasions.

North Pole Tenderfoot: A Rookie Goes on a North Pole Expedition Following in Admiral Peary's Footsteps
Doug Hall
Why would Doug Hall follow in Robert Peary's 1909 sled tracks to the North Pole, despite the grueling terrain and temperatures between 15 and 62 degrees below zero? His goal was to resurrect the spirit of Peary's journey in a world increasingly driven by instant gratification, short term business focus, and lack of sustained dedication to great causes. Peary succeeded where some 578 expeditions before him had failed. North Pole Tenderfoot is Doug’s attempt to let the reader experience what is possible when one does what Peary did: think big.

Chasing Oliver Hazard Perry
Craig Heimbuch
Chasing Oliver Hazard Perry chronicles Craig Heimbuch's journey through time and place in hopes of bringing to life a history that has haunted him since he was young — the story of Oliver Perry and the War of 1812. In the spirit of Tony Horwitz, Heimbuch travels to the battlefields, talks to historians, re-enactors, and fellow travelers to create a book that is funny, moving, and very informative.
Perry's story and legacy have stuck with Heimbuch through his entire life. He was just a boy when he first stood at the base of the Perry Monument at Put-in-Bay and listened to his father tell the story of how Perry scribbled on a scrap of paper a report to the American general laying siege to Fort Detroit his famous line, "We have met the enemy, and they are ours."

A Calculated Risk
Evan M. Wilson
In the aftermath of World War II and the Holocaust, the Truman White
House led the effort to establish the state of Israel. But, was it
inevitable that the U.S. would endorse the concept of a Jewish state?
Was U.S. policy entirely pro-Jewish? To what extent did the State
Department influence Presidents Roosevelt and Truman in regard to
Palestine? How aware were the two presidents of the probable
consequences of their decisions about the Middle East? A Calculated Risk explores these questions and more.
It examines the intricate international diplomacy that helped pave
the way for the creation of the Jewish state and evaluates the
conflicting pressures brought to bear on the U.S. with respect to the
Palestine question, and specifically the recognition of Israel, from
1942-1948. Impartial, well researched, and highly readable, it tells
the complete story of the balancing act that changed the geopolitical
landscape in the Middle East. This book is a must-have for veterans and
history buffs alike.

Ball Cap Nation: A Journey Through the World of America's National Hat (book with pdf bundle)
Jim Lilliefors
*This is a special bundled digital edition of this book. Buy the book at full price and get instant access to a downloadable pdf version. So it's two copies for the price of one!*
As the country grows increasingly diverse and complicated, Americans seek, and occasionally find, a common thread to unite them. And, as Jim Lilliefors reveals in his new book, that common thread is what the baseball cap is made of — indeed, what has transformed it into America’s National Hat. As fads go, it’s no longer even a fad, but a part of the national identity that, for better or worse, is a symbol of America.
It feeds an illusion that Americans cherish — that despite their differences, and no matter what position they play — when wearing a baseball cap, they’re all part of the same team. Exploring every aspect of caps and their culture — including the history, manufacturing, and evolution of baseball caps; collecting and caring for caps; cap etiquette; and even cap urban legends — and packed with photos throughout, Ball Cap Nation is a delightful look at a uniquely American phenomenon.

Black and Blue (hardback)
Bob Berghaus
Formed in 1967, the NFL's Central Division, made up of the Chicago Bears, Green Bay Packers, Detroit Lions, and Minnesota Vikings, quickly earned the nickname “Black and Blue Division” due to the teams' fierce, physical play.

Black and Blue celebrates along with them, recalling the great plays and players, the memorable seasons, and the crucial games through first-hand interviews with players and coaches and first-rate photography.

Crosley: Two Brothers and a Business Empire That Transformed the Nation (hardback)
Set in the vibrant Industrial Age and filigreed with family drama and epic ambition, Crosley
chronicles one of the great untold tales of the twentieth century. Born
in the late 1800s into a humble world of dirt roads and telegraphs,
Powel and Lewis Crosley were opposites in many ways but shared drive,
talent, and an unerring knack for knowing what Americans wanted.
Their pioneering inventions — from the first mass-produced economy
car to the push-button radio — and breakthroughs in broadcasting and
advertising made them both wealthy and famous, as did their ownership
of the Cincinnati Reds. But as their fortunes grew, so did Powel’s
massive ego, which demanded he own eight mansions and seven yachts at
the height of the Great Depression. Rich with detailed reminiscences
from surviving family members, Crosley is both a powerful saga of a
heady time in American history and an intimate tale of two brilliant
brothers navigating triumph and tragedy.
