He worshipped the sun and the sea, his own bronzed body, Frank Sinatra, and beautiful women. He was a successful traveling handbag salesman who carried himself like a celebrity. He'd return from the road with stories of going to nightclubs where the stars--Ava Gardner, maybe Liz Taylor--'couldn't keep their eyes off . . . your father.' He had countless affairs and didn't do much to hide them.  Lou could be cruel to Fran, his wife of fifty-nine years, but he loved his youngest son. Tom was a skin-and-bones, nervous boy, devoted to his mother, but Lou sought to turn him into a version of himself. He showered him with advice about how to dress ('A turtleneck is the most flattering thing a man can wear'), how to be an alpha male, and especially, how to attract and bed women. His parting speech when Tom went to college was: "Do yourself a favor and date a Jewish girl. They're all nymphos.' When Tom started seeing his future wife, Janet, Lou's efforts to entice Tom into his version of manhood accelerated on nights in New York, L.A., and Paris.  Tom wrestled with Lou's imposing presence all his life. When one of Lou's mistresses stood up at his funeral and announced, "Can we all . . . just agree . . . that this . . . was a man,' Tom set off to learn the facts of his father's life, and why he was the way he was. The stunning secrets he uncovered--about his father, his father's lovers, and deceptions going back generations--staggered Tom, but in the process allowed him, at last, to become his own man, by his own lights. In the Days of My Youth I Was Told What It Means to Be a Man is an intensely emotional detective story powered by a series of cascading revelations. The book is a triumph of bravura writing; it is a tale of a son reckoning with the consequences of his father's life and, in the end, of the son's redemption" -- Book jacket.]]></description><link>https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2705388</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2705388</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Junod, Tom]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://more.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2705388164</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Memoir</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780375400391/MC.GIF&amp;client=indianheadfls&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Shaolin Spirit]]></title><description><![CDATA["Bring clarity, strength, and purpose to your modern life through the ancient wisdom of Shaolin.

Now in her mid-sixties, [she] reflects on the hard-won lessons of aging, self-worth, and letting go. From her experiences with menopause, relationships, and family trauma, she writes with clarity and compassion about the insecurities that have haunted her for decades: shame and anxiety about her body, and the false belief that her value depended on perfection. Through it all, Valerie reflects on the quiet, daily work of self-acceptance -- the kind that doesn't make headlines but changes lives. Getting Naked isn't just a story of survival. It's a reckoning -- with her past, her family history, and the generational pain that shaped her. It's about the myths we believe when we're young -- about beauty, love, success -- and how we carry them until they break us open.

One of the riskiest air raids of World War II occurred on August 1, 1943, over the oil fields at Ploesti, Romania--Nazi Germany's primary fuel source. The Allies believed that the destruction of Hitler's oil refineries would shorten the war. Using an untested strategy, it was worth the gamble, but the mission did not go according to plan--with 53 aircraft and 532 crewmen lost, it was the costliest US air raid of the war. A true story, The Navigator's Letter is a tale of uncanny coincidences: two friends from the same small Illinois town; both joined the Air Corps; both became navigators; both were assigned to B-24 Liberators; both flew missions over Europe; both of their planes were forced down over Ploesti; and both went missing-in-action. Intertwined with events of WWII, the story follows the two B-24 navigators coursing through wartime, both with ties to the same woman. Their lives unfurl with the Air Force's darkest day, Operation Tidal Wave. It was the first-ever zero-altitude air raid, which lead to Operation Reunion, the largest evacuation by air in history repatriating 1,162 POWs from Romania back to American air bases in Italy." --Amazon.]]></description><link>https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2704608</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2704608</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Cress Dondi, Jan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://more.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2704608164</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The True Story of Two WWII Airmen, A Doomed Mission, and the Woman Who Bound Them Together</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781454956358/MC.GIF&amp;client=indianheadfls&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Days of Love and Rage]]></title><description><![CDATA["From Pulitzer and National Book Award finalist Anand Gopal, a mesmerizing and powerful account of six Syrians fighting for a better world, in the tradition of classic works by Philip Gourevitch and Katherine Boo. In 2011, in a northern Syrian city, a small group of men and women began a movement that overthrew one of the world's most brutal dictatorships. For the next eighteen months, citizens of Manbij carried out one of the most remarkable experiments in democracy in modern times. Days of Love and Rage details the powerfully intimate narratives of men and women who led this struggle, and who experience the highs of camaraderie and the lows of betrayal: a pair of best friends torn apart by political polarization, a mother who stands up to male dominance, a worker who risks everything for the dream of equality. Anand Gopal immerses you in the world of a single city in the throes of revolution, and lays bare the danger that inequality poses to democracy. But this book transcends the particulars of one terrible conflict to tell the sweeping story of democracy and rising authoritarianism in our times. It is, above all, an account of the best and worst of humanity. Both tragic and inspiring, Days of Love and Rage is a story of our enduring human need for freedom, security, dignity, community, love, and hope"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2703270</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2703270</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Gopal, Anand]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://more.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2703270164</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781668062173/MC.GIF&amp;client=indianheadfls&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[It Happened in Yellowstone]]></title><link>https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2705265</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2705265</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Turner, Erin H.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2012 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://more.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2705265164</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Remarkable Events That Shaped History</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780762764433/MC.GIF&amp;client=indianheadfls&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Laura Ingalls Wilder and Rose Wilder Lane]]></title><description><![CDATA["One of America's leading authorities on Laura Ingalls Wilder and Rose Wilder Lane combine analyses of both women to explore their collaborative process and how their books reflect the authors' view of place, time, and culture, expanding the critical discussion of Wilder and Lane beyond the Little House"--Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2705356</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2705356</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Miller, John E.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2016 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://more.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2705356164</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Authorship, Place, Time, and Culture</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780826220769/MC.GIF&amp;client=indianheadfls&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fat Quarters by the Dozen]]></title><description><![CDATA["The Fat Quarters by the Dozen Book features twelve quilts, each made with twelve fat quarters, background fabric, and binding.

Kids, Wait Till You Hear This! is the autobiography of EGOT icon Liza Minnelli. This fascinating, untold story reveals the intimate truth of the only child born to Hollywood legends Vincente Minnelli and Judy Garland. For the first time, here is Liza up close: raw, strong, sexy, hilarious and heartbreaking. Liza decided at the age of 16 that "sympathy is my mother's business. I give people joy." That veil of joy, however, masks a lifelong struggle with Substance Use Disorder ("SUD," which Liza inherited from her mother's branch of her family), boundless love to give and an equal need to receive it, broken marriages, multiple miscarriages, and hospitalizations--the highs and lows of unparalleled artistic success and lifelong friendships, as well as chronic anxiety and the threat of financial ruin. Despite every challenge, Liza's is a life wrapped in laughter and her tremendous capacity to give and receive love. Today at nearly 80, she opens her heart, mind and memories, sharing secrets we never knew. Liza's book celebrates supreme artistry and, more importantly, her human rights activism.

In the raw, untamed wilds of Alaska-where the wind howls, predators hunt, and the sun disappears for months-only a rare few figure out how to survive. Sue Aikens, the breakout star of National Geographic's long-running TV show Life Below Zero, is one of them. At her remote outpost 200 miles north of the Arctic Circle, she weathers more than just brutal winters and hungry bears. Sue battles isolation, injury, and the ghosts of a turbulent past, forging a life in a place most people wouldn't last a day. Left to fend for herself as a child, Sue's fight to survive began long before she ever set foot in Alaska. In North of Ordinary, she tells the unforgettable story of abandonment, grit, and fierce independence-from navigating deadly storms and surviving a horrific bear attack to learning how to build a life, a home, and a sense of self where most would see only desolation. With her trademark wit, fearless honesty, and an indomitable spirit, Sue proves that the toughest terrain isn't always on the map. It's the one we conquer inside.

He had dropped out of Indiana University, spurning legendary Hoosiers head coach Bobby Knight. He returned home to French Lick, a tiny town in the second poorest county in Indiana, and he got a job hauling trash. It could have ended right there for Bird, were it not for two men: Bob King, an old coach with bad knees, and Bill Hodges, a man who knew what it was like to be poor and overlooked. In the spring of 1975, during one of the darkest chapters of Bird's life, King and Hodges convinced Bird to leave French Lick and play basketball at Indiana State University, a college that could not even fill its arena, much less compete with Bobby Knight. Then, while no one was watching, King and Hodges built a team of players around Bird who were just like him: they were castoffs and leftovers, ready to work"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2698708</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2698708</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[O'Brien, Keith]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://more.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2698708164</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Forgotten Place, An Impossible Dream, and the Miracle of Larry Bird</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781668211700/MC.GIF&amp;client=indianheadfls&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fashioning the Crown]]></title><description><![CDATA[Fashioning the Crown tells the story of a tumultuous half-century of British history through the lens of royal fashion and image-making. Informed by Justine Picardie's entirely original research in the Royal Archives, as well her own interactions with Elizabeth II and her family, it will reveal how, from the outbreak of the First World War to 1960, the soft power of clothing played a crucial role in helping the Royal Family, and the nation, to navigate seismic changes and challenges. Justine will take us behind the glamor and mystique of the Crown, introducing us afresh to three generations of royals, including the glamorous Queen Mary; the Chanel-wearing young flapper who would become the Queen Mother; and the little Princess Lillibet, already setting fashion trends at the age of three. Justine will reveal the crucial importance of image-making in an era of abdications and assassinations, and amidst the rise of revolutions and fascism. She will also uncover the fascinating, little-known lives of the couturiers behind the clothes.]]></description><link>https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2702596</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2702596</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Picardie, Justine]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://more.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2702596164</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Story of Power, Conflict and Couture</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798897100132/MC.GIF&amp;client=indianheadfls&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lysty na viĭnu.

For most of her life--and even in the decades since her passing--she was primarily known as the widow of the late John Coltrane. John Coltrane is widely seen as being one of the greatest tenor saxophonists and composers of the 20th century, with a fervor and devotion approaching sainthood. Yet ever so slowly, that level of love and appreciation is also being bestowed upon pianist, organist, harpist, and composer Alice Coltrane. Cosmic Music: The Life, Art and Transcendence of Alice Coltrane is the first full biography of this remarkable, groundbreaking artist, and is an elegant, deeply researched corrective to the historical--and critical--record. It elevates Alice Coltrane to her proper place, both alongside her husband as one of the greatest musical visionaries of the 20th century, and also as a singular artist in Western music, one who became a spiritual leader in her lifetime. In the years since her passing, she has become a great influence on a new generation of musicians, especially women, people of color, and artists who seek to combine jazz with other musical forms, be it modern classical, electronic, Indian music, and more. Cosmic Music also unearths previously unknown connections between Alice Coltrane and other generational icons, from Stevie Wonder, Carlos Santana, and Nina Simone to Mother Teresa and Doja Cat. In Alice Coltrane's music, one can perceive the transformation of Black American music in microcosm, the gospel roots giving rise to jazz and bebop, then intermingling with soul and R&B, and then onto rock, modern classical, psychedelia, and new age. Cosmic Music, based on extensive research and scores of new interviews by music journalist Andy Beta, is the definitive account of a visionary whose influence is only just beginning to be appreciated in full. -- Amazon.]]></description><link>https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2702456</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2702456</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Beta, Andy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://more.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2702456164</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The Life, Art, and Transcendence of Alice Coltrane</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780306836169/MC.GIF&amp;client=indianheadfls&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Leaving Home]]></title><description><![CDATA["Leaving Home is a portrait of the artist both as a child and as an adult.

Two hundred and fifty years ago, the Declaration of Independence marked the birth of the United States. But two essays of that era appealed even more directly to Americans' feelings. In January 1776, Thomas Paine--a recent immigrant to America--published Common Sense. His straightforward argument upended the fraud of monarchy and dismantled the idea of aristocratic privilege that had dominated the world for centuries. His words convinced Americans that the king had no divine right to rule them--they could rule themselves. He turned a rebellion over taxes and representation into a true revolution. Having inspired patriots to declare their independence, Paine enlisted as a militia private. He saw George Washington's army suffer grievous defeats. He slogged through the mud with retreating troops to Pennsylvania. There, he wrote The American Crisis, the most stirring rallying cry in our history. It began: 'These are the times that try men's souls . . .' With Paine's words ringing in their ears, Washington and his men crossed the Delaware River and defeated the enemy at Trenton. The battle reversed the fortunes of the campaign and of the revolution itself. A riveting exploration of our nation's birth, Tom Paine's War celebrates the power of words--and the power of belief--even as it speaks to America's current crisis."--Jacket flap.]]></description><link>https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2704717</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2704717</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kelly, Jack]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://more.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2704717164</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The Words That Rallied A Nation and the Founder for Our Time</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781250331939/MC.GIF&amp;client=indianheadfls&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Before the Flood]]></title><description><![CDATA["A profound exploration of Palestinian history and resilience through the personal stories of the author's family-- the al-Badrasawis. Beginning with intimate details of village life in Beit Daras prior to the Nakba, Ramzy Baroud vividly portrays the rich cultural heritage, deeply rooted traditions, and daily struggles faced by ordinary people whose lives were radically disrupted by the violent upheavals and ongoing conflicts driven by British colonialism and Zionist aggression. Baroud weaves together past and present, illuminating how historical forces shaped the collective consciousness and steadfast resilience of the Palestinian people. His storytelling reveals not only the harsh realities of occupation, displacement, and loss but also the extraordinary courage, faith, and solidarity that underpin a powerful and enduring spirit of resistance, encapsulated in what the author refers to as the Palestinian "longue durée." Ultimately, Baroud aims to humanize and reclaim Palestinian narratives from distorted portrayals, highlighting their perseverance and the universal quest for justice and liberation"--Amazon.]]></description><link>https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2703886</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2703886</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Baroud, Ramzy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://more.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2703886164</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Gaza Family Memoir Across Three Generations of Colonial Invasion, Occupation, and War in Palestine</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781644215289/MC.GIF&amp;client=indianheadfls&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[El Paso]]></title><description><![CDATA["From New York Times reporter Jazmine Ulloa, a sweeping human history of El Paso, revealing violence, power, and privilege at play in America's most famous border town. El Paso has been called the 'Ellis Island' of America's southern border, a mountain pass cum border town cum bifurcated metropolis where past meets future, and disadvantage meets opportunity, or so the promise goes. El Paso is an extraordinary, can't-look-away reported history; it uses deep research and dozens of new interviews to blow away the myth of this place, where Mexico's Juarez and America's El Paso intertwine. It charts the history of El Paso through five families. From the Mexican Revolution and the Mexican Repatriation, to the shifting immigration laws under Reagan and Trump and the violence and bloodshed brought on by the drug war, El Paso captures a place often misunderstood or forgotten by the rest of the country, and the world. El Paso is a brave new work of narrative nonfiction that gives new voice and perspective to history that has long been checked at the border, or told through the lens of white men alone. Ulloa draws upon meticulous research and reporting and stunning historical detail to craft the intimate narratives of an unforgettable cast of characters"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2703261</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://more.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S164C2703261</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ulloa, Jazmine]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://more.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2703261164</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Five Families and One Hundred Years of Blood, Migration, Race, and Memory</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593471869/MC.GIF&amp;client=indianheadfls&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item></channel></rss>
