Nome


Book Description

As a man who sees his life as ordinary—an enduring, repetitive pain, Gus Rivers acknowledges his destructive indifference is the root of his marriage’s failure. His answer is to run away to unearth the contrast, he believes, will help him rediscover the love and adventure his life needs. There is rejuvenation in separation. Gus chooses Nome. But changing the scenery doesn’t change the man. The diversion of an ill-advised love affair, the intrigue of drug dealers’ plots, covert war, and savage murders blur his initial purpose. Gus eventually learns that there’s no place like Nome.




Dog Breed Facts for Fun! Book S


Book Description

Dog Breed Facts for Fun! will help you find out how much you know (or don't know) about different breeds of dogs? Can you name which breed had a dog that sold for $7000 in the mid 1800's? Which one originated in Russia and is nicknamed "smiley dog"? Or which type of dog is included in a statue with a former U.S. president? Dogs are one of the most beloved pets in any typical household. They're loyal, friendly, and simply brilliant companions to have, no matter if you're a large, extended family, or a bachelor enjoying the single life. Dogs are not all created equal however, as each one is of a distinctive breed, and each breed comes with its own unique history, abilities, and challenges (for example, it would be a challenge to make a Chihuahua a guard dog). The book contains questions about many of the S dog breeds (such Samoyeds, Scottish Terriers, Shar Pei, Shih Tzu, Schnauzers, Siberian Huskies, and St. Bernards), which are sure to entertain any dog lover, from child to adult. Even better, the quiz is enhanced by pictures of the dogs and the associated people and places. This adds a new level of education for kids (and adults) as they learn subjects such as history and geography from simple dog breed facts!
