A small group of American and British scientists go to East Africa to try to save elephants from poachers and to find how many remain. They end up fighting with poachers, large and small groups, who try to kill them, meanwhile being chased and threatened by elephants and having to shoot some to survive.
Based on real research and attempts to save African elephants, in this book you will meet some of the strangest characters in the world, the kind of people who can’t survive in normal society and, with their odd behavior, retreat to wilderness.

As My Mother Would Say...is about being raised in a conservative Mexican Family that valued the traditions and sayings of Mexico. The proverbs or "dichos" were a daily dose of teachings from my mother. We believed she made them up as situations arose and it was not until we began using the "dichos" as adults, that other people we met from Mexico could relate, laugh and say "my grandma used to say that" These "dichos are not so common anymore among young Mexican families and at the request of my many colleagues, co workers and students over the years to write about these sayings, I decided to do so. While some of these dichos may not be sophisticated, profound, and intellectual, they are amazingly cogent. They have been invaluable to me in developing my style in management and leadership...

Grandma's Magic Box

Thomas, Nadine

Dr. Richard Denton, a brilliant entomologist, is shy, introverted, and protective of the secret projects he hides in the basement of the country home he rents. He knows his creation is a major scientific breakthrough but fears the consequences of his discovery all the same. When one of Richard's few friends convinces him to take a weekend off, he does so--and returns to find that some of his hybrid ants have escaped into the world. Worried, he waits to hear and in the meantime finds an unexpected romance. Sightings of the ants become major international news, and as Richard watches, he knows it is just the beginning. A university associate helps develop a poison to combat the ferocious carnivorous insects, whose colonies soon reach into the millions. As the death toll climbs, Richard works to help defeat the demon he has created while attempting to keep his own responsibility for the ants a secret. But all bets are off when he learns that the ants are attacking the woman he loves. In this novel, a scientist's carnivorous hybrid ants break loose and overrun the United States, and only time will tell if he can contain the menace he has unleashed.

The Paraponera: An Eminent National Danger

Defiore, Perry D

Literature & Fiction

Karel has been kidnapped into an unwanted marriage. Worse yet, she finds herself in a society where brutality toward captive women is the accepted norm. This puts a severe strain on Karel’s belief that it is her duty to remain objective, abide by any and all local customs, learn as much as she can and never pass judgment. It is small comfort when Mari, her co-wife and co-captive, tells her that Sang, the husband they now share, is less cruel than most. Mari also lets slip that some of the captive women try to run away, and Karel happily accepts that as another custom she’s entitled to follow.
 Karel’s first attempt at escape ends in recapture, and her punishment is very severe and very public. Can she regain the courage to try again? If she does, can she succeed?
