The Lost City of the Monkey God: A True Story by Douglas Preston
Available through January 05 at
Deal availability may change without notice! Prices may vary from store to store. Due to international copyright, availability and pricing may vary outside of the US.
DESCRIPTION:
The #1 New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller, named one of the best books of the year by The Boston Globe and National Geographic: acclaimed journalist Douglas Preston takes readers on a true adventure deep into the Honduran rainforest in this riveting narrative about the discovery of a lost civilization — culminating in a stunning medical mystery.
Since the days of conquistador Hernán Cortés, rumors have circulated about a lost city of immense wealth hidden somewhere in the Honduran interior, called the White City or the Lost City of the Monkey God. Indigenous tribes speak of ancestors who fled there to escape the Spanish invaders, and they warn that anyone who enters this sacred city will fall ill and die. In 1940, swashbuckling journalist Theodore Morde returned from the rainforest with hundreds of artifacts and an electrifying story of having found the Lost City of the Monkey God-but then committed suicide without revealing its location.
Three quarters of a century later, bestselling author Doug Preston joined a team of scientists on a groundbreaking new quest. In 2012 he climbed aboard a rickety, single-engine plane carrying the machine that would change everything: lidar, a highly advanced, classified technology that could map the terrain under the densest rainforest canopy. In an unexplored valley ringed by steep mountains, that flight revealed the unmistakable image of a sprawling metropolis, tantalizing evidence of not just an undiscovered city but an enigmatic, lost civilization.
Venturing into this raw, treacherous, but breathtakingly beautiful wilderness to confirm the discovery, Preston and the team battled torrential rains, quickmud, disease-carrying insects, jaguars, and deadly snakes. But it wasn’t until they returned that tragedy struck: Preston and others found they had contracted in the ruins a horrifying, sometimes lethal-and incurable-disease.
Suspenseful and shocking, filled with colorful history, hair-raising adventure, and dramatic twists of fortune, THE LOST CITY OF THE MONKEY GOD is the absolutely true, eyewitness account of one of the great discoveries of the twenty-first century.

You Have the Right to Remain Innocent by James Duane

Deal availability may change without notice! Prices may vary from store to store. Due to international copyright, availability and pricing may vary outside of the US.
DESCRIPTION:
An urgent, compact manifesto that will teach you how to protect your rights, your freedom, and your future when talking to police.
Law professor James J. Duane became a viral sensation thanks to a 2008 lecture outlining the reasons why you should never agree to answer questions from the police–especially if you are innocent and wish to stay out of trouble with the law. In this timely, relevant, and pragmatic new book, he expands on that presentation, offering a vigorous defense of every citizen’s constitutionally protected right to avoid self-incrimination. Getting a lawyer is not only the best policy, Professor Duane argues, it’s also the advice law-enforcement professionals give their own kids.
Using actual case histories of innocent men and women exonerated after decades in prison because of information they voluntarily gave to police, Professor Duane demonstrates the critical importance of a constitutional right not well or widely understood by the average American. Reflecting the most recent attitudes of the Supreme Court, Professor Duane argues that it is now even easier for police to use your own words against you. This lively and informative guide explains what everyone needs to know to protect themselves and those they love.

Dryadby Matthew Shaw

Deal availability may change without notice! Prices may vary from store to store. Due to international copyright, availability and pricing may vary outside of the US.
DESCRIPTION:
What if Humanity is just a device? An instrument to change worlds? With Earth in the grip of environmental collapse, the manipulative Dryads conspire to drive humanity to extinction. Only a grieving man and his free-spirited daughter stand in their way. They wouldn’t have a chance but for the mysterious Girl of Light, a messenger from the copse…..
They weren’t supposed to be there at all. Usually the primates flee their dying planet ready for the new inhabitants. But not this time. When the Cloud descended, Earth’s population proved to be a stubborn infection. They had two choices: move to the poles, or flee to the stars. After the great Exodus, instead building a utopia, those few remaining on Earth faced challenges far beyond the hardships of living on a dying planet. Not only do the ideals of the remainers fail, and the world once again falls into the grip of corrupt, all-powerful corporations, but a darker force moves among them with a greater influence and an agenda far more twisted than anyone could possibly imagine … the Dryad.
Through the illegal teachings of the book of Physis, preaching and preserving the long-forgotten laws and principals of nature, disciples like Jaxon and Emily keep the fight for the survival of humanity alive. But since his wife was bludgeoned to death clutching a mysterious black crystal, Jaxon has become obsessed. He must risk everything to understand and it is only when the mysterious Girl of Light appears that the crystal begins to reveal its dark secrets. Will there be enough time to decipher them and sow the seeds of darkness to bring the species back into the light?
