    The Greatest Story Ever Told - So Far: Why Are We Here?The Greatest Story Ever Told – So Far: Why Are We Here? by Lawrence M. Krauss

    Internationally renowned, award-winning theoretical physicist, New York Times bestselling author, and passionate advocate for reason, Lawrence Krauss tells the dramatic story of the discovery of the hidden world of reality – a grand poetic vision of nature – and how we find our place within it.

    In the beginning there was light.
    But more than this, there was gravity.
    After that, all hell broke loose…

    In A Universe from Nothing, Krauss revealed how our entire universe could arise from nothing. Now, he reveals what that something – reality – is. And, reality is not what we think or sense – it’s weird, wild, and counterintuitive; it’s hidden beneath everyday experience; and its inner workings seem even stranger than the idea that something can come from nothing.

    The Greatest Story challenges us to re-envision ourselves and our place within the universe, as it appears that "God" does play dice with the universe. In the incisive style of his scintillating essays for The New Yorker, Krauss celebrates the greatest intellectual adventure ever undertaken – to understand why we are here in a universe where fact is stranger than fiction.

    The Black TowerThe Black Tower by Louis Bayard

    From acclaimed author Louis Bayard comes The Black Tower, a stunning and pitch-perfect novel featuring the real-life criminal who transformed himself into the world’s first and greatest detective.

    The inconsequential life of Hector Carpentier is violently shaken when Vidocq storms into it.

    A former medical student living in his mother’s Latin Quarter boardinghouse, Hector finds himself dragged into a dangerous mystery surrounding the fate of the dauphin, the ten-year-old son of King Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette presumed to have suffered a cruel death years earlier in Paris’s dreaded Temple.

    But the truth of what happened may be even more shocking—and it will fall to an aimless young man and the most feared detective in Paris to see justice done for a frightened little boy in a black tower… no matter what the cost.

    AWOL on the Appalachian TrailAWOL on the Appalachian Trail by David Miller

    Over 1,300 5-Star Reviews!

    In 2003, software engineer David Miller left his job, family, and friends to hike 2,172 miles of the Appalachian Trail.

    AWOL on the Appalachian Trail is Miller’s account of this thru-hike from Georgia to Maine. Listeners are treated to rich descriptions of the Appalachian Mountains, the isolation and reverie, the inspiration that fueled his quest, and the rewards of taking a less conventional path through life.

    While this book abounds with introspection and perseverance, it also provides useful passages about hiking gear and planning. This is not merely a travel guide; it is a beautifully written and highly personal view into one man’s journey and the insights gained by abandoning what is comfortable and routine.
