The pair went directly the Dutch Gallery and proceeded to remove Portrait of Elsbeth van Rijn from its place on the wall. After a brief scuffle with the guards--with Myles deterring his partner from shooting a bystander--the pair was gone, leaving behind no traceable evidence amidst the mayhem. Who was Myles Connor and what were his motivations? Most thieves are in it for the money, but Myles was far from most thieves. His motive was freedom. The summer before the heist, he was arrested by the FBI when he attempted to sell three highly valuable paintings by Andrew and N.C. Wyeth to an undercover agent. Incredibly, Myles did this while out on bail for possession of yet more stolen art. When he was arrested and placed in the back seat of a state police vehicle, the FBI agent said to him, "We've got you now. Let's see you get out of this one." Without batting an eye, Connor calmly replied, "Just you watch me." Again released on bail, Connor met with an old friend of his father's, Massachusetts State Police Major John Regan. Regan worked for the District Attorney at the time, future Congressman William Delahunt. Connor asked Regan if there was any way out of the fix he was in, and the straightlaced cop told him bluntly, "It's going to take a Rembrandt to get you out of this one." With that, a master plan was hatched. But there was a flip side to this story. One involving Connor's best friend--Al Dotoli--who lived a life in the music industry, far from the world of art heists. Dotoli's own masterpiece of a plan hinged on the Rembrandt's return."--]]></description><link>https://bowenlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S49C129923269</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://bowenlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S49C129923269</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Amore, Anthony M.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://bowenlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/129923269049</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The Story of A Criminal Genius, A Stolen Masterpiece, and An Enigmatic Friendship</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781639369959/MC.GIF&amp;client=bclibcoop&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[London Falling]]></title><description><![CDATA["In the early morning of November 29th, 2019, surveillance cameras at the headquarters of MI6, Britain's spy agency, captured a video of a young man pacing back and forth on a balcony of Riverwalk, a luxury building on the opposite bank of the Thames River. At 2:24 a.m., he jumped. In a quiet London neighborhood several miles away, Rachelle Brettler was worried. She hadn't heard from her son Zac, who told her he had gone to stay with a friend for the night, but wasn't answering his phone. Five days later, a police car pulled up in front of the house, and she knew she was about to hear the news every parent dreads: Her son was dead. In their unbearable grief, Rachelle and her husband Matthew tried to understand what had happened to Zac. He had his troubles, but in no way seemed suicidal. But his death was just the beginning of the shocks: The man who owned the apartment in Riverwalk, a wealthy businessman named Akbar Shamji, told them he knew Zac by a different identity: Zac Ismailov, the child of a wealthy Russian oligarch, whose widowed mother was living in Dubai and freezing him out of his inheritance. Then they learned that the apartment was occupied by a notorious gangster known as "Indian Dave" in London criminal circles. Indian Dave had been implicated in a gangland slaying and fled the country, but for opaque reasons came back to England and was never prosecuted. From the physical evidence and recovered text messages between Shamji and Sharma, it appeared something very different than a suicide had taken place in Riverwalk that night. But to the immense frustration of the Brettlers, Scotland Yard seemed to have no interest in investigating. In a bravura piece of reporting and writing, Patrick Radden Keefe delves into a story that peels back multiple layers of mystery, and exposes the seedy truths beneath the glamourous London of posh mansions and private night clubs, a world sustained and abetted by fundamental corruption. Zac Brettler was not the only person in the tale spinning lies. London Falling is a mesmerizing investigation of an inexplicable death, fueled by multiple turns and revelations, but at its heart it is a deeply empathetic portrait of a family trying to understand not just why their son died, but who he was"--]]></description><link>https://bowenlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S49C129600297</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://bowenlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S49C129600297</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Keefe, Patrick Radden]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://bowenlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/129600297049</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Mysterious Death in A Gilded City and A Family&apos;s Search for Truth</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780385675482/MC.GIF&amp;client=bclibcoop&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mother Earth Is Our Elder]]></title><description><![CDATA[The Dene in Canada’s Northwest Territories have lived alongside nature for many generations. From battling environmental racism on the front lines of historical environmental protests to living a balanced life through effective individual and collective governance, the Dene have long protected Mother Earth from destruction through their intricate knowledge systems, natural laws, and age-old principles. 

Now more than ever, institutions and citizens alike are seeking out and relying on the resilience of Indigenous knowledge systems to help solve the climate crisis. This book brings together a diverse group of Dene Elders and knowledge carriers on the subject of climate change to answer the calls for help. Adhering proudly to these responsibilities and values, Katłı̨̀ą writes a Dene manifesto fit to address the state of emergency we’re in.

After living in Vancouver for her entire adult life, Jessica Barrett packed up her apartment, quit her dream job as a magazine editor, and headed for Calgary in search of an affordable place to call home. In the years since Barrett was priced out of Vancouver, the issue of housing affordability has become a national crisis, fanning the flames of social inequality and setting us up for financial ruin. But our obsession with rising housing prices obscures a more complex and pressing issue: we have lost our reverence for and our understanding of home. In No Place Like Home, Barrett dives behind the headlines and statistics of Canada's housing crisis to examine how it has eaten away at our psyches by undermining our human needs for belonging, connection, and stability. Through a mix of powerful memoir and rigorous journalism, she delivers an eye-opening portrait of our housing system while scouring the world for examples of how we might do things differently, pulling inspiration from the slum communities of Harare, Zimbabwe, the stately streets of Vienna, Austria, and the Cold-war era apartment blocks of West Berlin. In the process, Barrett forms a framework for solutions and the basis for achievable change. Her biggest discovery? We cannot solve our housing crisis until we first address our crisis of home."-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://bowenlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S49C129623459</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://bowenlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S49C129623459</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Barrett, Jessica]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://bowenlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/129623459049</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The Missing Key to Our Housing Crisis</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780735250253/MC.GIF&amp;client=bclibcoop&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lessons From A Lifetime]]></title><description><![CDATA[This keepsake collection, featuring tributes from Margaret Atwood and Neil Young, captures the essence of a revolutionary life as it celebrates the legacy of environmental icon David Suzuki.

No, it’s not the molecule of happiness. And no, it doesn’t give us pleasure—it gives us motivation. For the first time in history, we are inundated with “dopamine surges” inside our brains, pulling us to technology and ultraprocessed foods like magnets—every day, many times a day. Over the past decade, neuroscientists have finally begun to figure out how these surges alter our choices, our habits, and even our moods. We’ve learned how dopamine can drive adults and kids to engage in activities that we don’t actually enjoy—activities that can make us feel sad, lonely, anxious, and depressed. When Michaeleen Doucleff decided to address her family’s screen time and dependence on processed foods, she found that scientific study after scientific study refuted nearly all the claims in the media about dopamine and the supposed reasons why we’re so inclined to pick up our phones or raid the pantry. She took this new neuroscience and psychology and merged it with practical experience, shifting the power dynamic back to families: Instead of devices and foods controlling us, we control them, and both screens and the pantry become tools rather than burdens. Dopamine Kids is a five-step operating manual for habit remodeling that is tailored for parents and their children. After rediscovering what’s most important for your family, you’ll learn how to create successful boundaries around screens and ultraprocessed foods; replace screen time with equally enticing activities; remove triggers that pull children toward screens and junk food; and, finally, celebrate your family’s choices before, during, and after trying new hobbies. These five steps weaken the neurological pathways established by devices and make dopamine work in your favor to get kids to want to pursue high-quality activities that reduce anxiety, create better moods, and diversify interests. Dr. Doucleff’s research culminates in a four-week plan to create screen-free sanctuaries that protect conversations, focus, sleep, and adventure. After reading Dopamine Kids, you will be empowered to create habits that genuinely fulfill your family’s biological and emotional needs, to bring true satisfaction and purpose to their lives, and to improve their behavior, happiness, and confidence. The Anxious Generation alerted you to the danger of screens, but the demands of the twenty-first century require that you use them anyway. Dopamine Kids is your handbook for solving that fundamental problem of our times—and for teaching your kids to have a healthy relationship with technology and food.]]></description><link>https://bowenlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S49C129600310</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://bowenlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S49C129600310</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Doucleff, Michaeleen]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://bowenlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/129600310049</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Science-based Plan to Rewire your Child&apos;s Brain and Take Back your Family in the Age of Screens and Ultraprocessed Foods</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781668049839/MC.GIF&amp;client=bclibcoop&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Polar War]]></title><description><![CDATA[Polar War is a blend of travelogue and frontline reporting that reveals how climate change, military ambition, and economic opportunity are transforming the Arctic into the epicentre of a new cold war, where a struggle for dominance between the planet's great powers heralds the next global conflict.]]></description><link>https://bowenlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S49C129629020</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://bowenlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S49C129629020</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Rosen, Kenneth R.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://bowenlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/129629020049</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Submarines, Spies, and the Struggle for Power in A Melting Arctic</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781668052334/MC.GIF&amp;client=bclibcoop&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Casino Shift]]></title><description><![CDATA[For fans of The Pitt, a look at life on the front line in one of Canada's busiest ERs The Casino Shift is an hour-by-hour account of what a Canadian emergency room is like in these turbulent times when ER staff must be prepared to see, diagnose, and treat any condition, often under unrelenting pressure. In addition to the introduction of the "casino shift" (a shorter night shift), there have been incredible leaps in technology and the know-how of ER physicians since Dr. Brian Goldman wrote the bestselling The Night Shift fifteen years ago. But patients' problems can be exponentially more complex too. But The Casino Shift is about much more than one shift at one hospital, though. It's also about what goes on in ERs big and small across Canada. From the incredible challenges of practising "waiting room medicine," to discovering untreated cancer in a twenty-something patient, to diagnosing an extremely rare case of auto-brewery syndrome, Dr. Goldman shares the stories of frustrated and burned-out colleagues as well as the passion they have for being there in your hour of greatest need. With inspiring stories about diagnoses made, puzzles solved, and lives saved, The Casino Shift is a raw, revealing, and compelling look at life on the front line.]]></description><link>https://bowenlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S49C129609833</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://bowenlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S49C129609833</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Goldman, Brian]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://bowenlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/129609833049</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Stories From An ER on the Edge</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781443473583/MC.GIF&amp;client=bclibcoop&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[A Hymn to Life]]></title><description><![CDATA[A Hymn to Life will tell Gisèle Pelicot's story in her words, offer solace and hope, and make a positive contribution to changing the conversation around shame and to changing the world.

What if they're signals that can help us see and solve the real problem? As our world clashes and collapses around us, it's no surprise that one in two of us will be diagnosed with a mental health condition by the age of forty, with one in five people affected each year. It's hard to view all our mental health symptoms as disordered if so many of us are experiencing them. Perhaps it's not that something's gone wrong in our bodies and minds, but that something's gone right: These symptoms are brilliant alarms and adaptations to help us survive in a disordered world. Having sensitive protective functions that sound alarms or short-circuit when we're threatened isn't a design flaw. It's a design success. As a psychiatrist, professor, and mental health speaker, Joanna Cheek argues that we're not broken or doing it wrong when we're stressed or struggling. As our systems are pushed to the brink of collapse, self-improvement alone neglects the source of our suffering. Instead, to care for ourselves, we must heal the imbalances in our wider systems that keep making us all sick. In It's Not You, It's the World, Dr. Cheek offers a survival guide of mental health tools to care for both ourselves and our collectives and helps us to understand and befriend our alarms so we can come together to solve the shared problems they're signaling. With a foreword by Gabor Maté, chapter-by-chapter guidance, and practical action to empower, connect, and instill hope in the reader, It's Not You, It's the World is the go-to guide for anyone feeling depressed, anxious, enraged, numb, or sick from adapting to a world on fire"-- ]]></description><link>https://bowenlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S49C129600221</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://bowenlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S49C129600221</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Cheek, Joanna]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://bowenlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/129600221049</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Mental Health Survival Guide for Us All</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781443474412/MC.GIF&amp;client=bclibcoop&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Camp Monster]]></title><description><![CDATA[Tasha's family has run Camp Yeti for generations, but these days there just aren't enough Yetis to fill the bunks.

As the ultra-wealthy siphon off an ever-larger share of the world's wealth, they now dominate us to a degree unimaginable even a decade ago. With their voracious consumption, unbridled resource exploitation, and relentless obstruction of climate action, they are rapidly undermining democracy and destroying the very viability of the earth for human life. Their staggering power and hoarding of wealth have prompted a number of G20 nations to consider imposing a wealth tax, aimed exclusively at the super-rich. In Canada, such a tax would apply only to those with wealth above $25 million. Yet it could collect $40 billion a year -- funding public programs that could immensely improve the lives of millions of Canadians while clipping the wings of the super-rich. Billionaires would threaten to depart. But as they left the country that had nourished them and enabled them to grow so wildly rich, they'd face a hefty "exit tax" on the way out.
