National Book Critics Circle Award Winner: “The terrifying story of the worst disaster in the history of the US Forest Service’s elite Smokejumpers.” —Kirkus Reviews A devastating and lyrical work of nonfiction, Young Men and Fire describes the events of August 5, 1949, when a crew of fifteen of the US Forest Service’s elite airborne firefighters, the Smokejumpers, stepped into the sky above a remote forest fire in the Montana wilderness. Two hours after their jump, all but three of the men were dead or mortally burned. Haunted by these deaths for forty years, Norman Maclean puts together the scattered pieces of the Mann Gulch tragedy in this extraordinary book. Alongside Maclean’s now-canonical A River Runs Through It and Other Stories, Young Men and Fire is recognized today as a classic of the American West. This edition of Maclean’s later triumph—the last book he would write—includes a powerful new foreword by Timothy Egan, author of The Big Burn and The Worst Hard Time. As moving and profound as when it was first published, Young Men and Fire honors the literary legacy of a man who gave voice to an essential corner of the American soul. “A moving account of humanity, nature, and the perseverance of the human spirit.” —Library Journal “Haunting.” —The Wall Street Journal “Engrossing.” —Publishers Weekly

Beneath the Surface is an extension of the author’s two previous books that offer the unique blend of science and sport. This book focuses on Lake Norman North Carolina but all of its information is useful to any fresh water fisherman. The author is considered a Sonar expert and this book is full of Sonar image photo interpretations to help those fishermen who have not developed the skill of using Sonar fish finders to improve their catch rate. The tips presented on catching the various species of fish resident to Lake Norman are useful for these species wherever they reside. Several myths about fishing are discussed and some of these myths are crushed by the Author with detailed back up information to support his contentions.

Many guides claim to offer an insider view of top undergraduate programs, but no publisher understands insider information like Vault, and none of these guides provides the rich detail that Vault's new guide does. Vault publishes the entire surveys of current students and alumni at more than 300 top undergraduate institutions. Each 2- to 3-page entry is composed almost entirely of insider comments from students and alumni. Through these narratives Vault provides applicants with detailed, balanced perspectives.

MASTER MIND - The final book in THE MASTER TRILOGY - The conclusion to all that's gone before. “You know who” [no spoilers] has been given a seemingly impossible task. But it appears things might get far more awkward for them than that! The end is finally in sight for everyone… which is either a good thing… or very, very bad. After all, a happy ending depends on whose side you’re on. But there’s one thing you can be sure of. With Andy Dane Nye’s wonderfully inventive style of writing, even if you expected the unexpected, you’ll still get more than you expected! “Just brilliant. Witty, clever and totally enthralling. Couldn't put it down.” Amazon review for Master Piece. “Hook, Line, Sinker. The best excuse to turn a page I've had in years.” Amazon review for Master Piece. “I loved the first book of the trilogy and I have to say I loved the second book even more! I can’t wait for the next instalment!” Amazon review for Master Plan. “Captivating from beginning to end.” Amazon review for Master Piece. “Every bit as wonderful and engrossing as Master Piece” Amazon review for Master Plan. “Brilliant, surreal and laugh out loud funny.” Amazon review for Master Piece. “So good I read it twice.” Amazon review for Master Piece. A definite must for those who love their fictional intrigue to be mixed with a healthy dose of philosophical musings... and plenty of laughs.
