Synopsis

Across the vast reaches of space lies Barsoom, a world of adventure, intrigue, and heroism. In The John Carter/Barsoom Collection Volume I, Edgar Rice Burroughs transports readers to Mars, where warriors clash, ancient secrets unfold, and impossible love defies the odds. This volume gathers the first seven thrilling novels of Burroughs’ legendary Barsoom series, following John Carter, an Earth-born warrior who becomes the greatest champion of an alien world.     The saga begins with A Princess of Mars, where John Carter, a Confederate soldier mysteriously transported to Mars, discovers a dying planet locked in endless war. Amid towering Tharks and the noble Red Martians, he fights to protect Dejah Thoris, the princess whose love gives him purpose. The adventure continues in The Gods of Mars, where Carter battles his way through the mysterious Valley Dor and the false gods that enslave Mars. In The Warlord of Mars, his quest for vengeance and justice reaches a stunning climax, cementing his place as the planet’s greatest hero.     The story expands beyond John Carter in Thuvia, Maid of Mars, where the fate of Barsoom rests in the hands of new heroes, navigating treachery, forbidden love, and supernatural forces. In The Chessmen of Mars, the game turns deadly as Tara of Helium is forced to play for her life in a city ruled by living chess pieces. The series takes a sharp turn into psychological intrigue and mind control in The Master Mind of Mars, introducing a rogue Earth scientist with a sinister purpose. A Fighting Man of Mars rounds out this collection with a tale of courage, adventure, and a relentless warrior willing to face impossible odds to rescue the woman he loves.     With its blend of high adventure, romance, and cosmic wonder, The John Carter/Barsoom Collection Volume I stands as one of the great cornerstones of classic science fiction. Edgar Rice Burroughs’ vivid imagination and storytelling genius have inspired generations of writers, filmmakers, and dreamers. Published by Classicus, this definitive volume is a must-read for those who crave pulse-pounding action, epic battles, and the eternal struggle between honor and power in a world unlike any other.

    When Nashville identified its first case of coronavirus in March 2020, the city was between Public Health Department directors and as unprepared as the rest of the world for what was to come. Dr. Alex Jahangir, a trauma surgeon acting at that time as chair of the Metro Nashville Board of Health, unexpectedly found himself head of the city's COVID-19 Task Force and responsible for leading it through uncharted waters. 
     
     
     
    What followed was a year of unprecedented challenge and scrutiny. Jahangir, who immigrated to the United States from Iran at age six, grew up in Nashville. He thought he knew the city well. But the pandemic laid bare ethnic, racial, and cultural tensions that daily threatened to derail what should have been a collective effort to keep residents healthy and safe. 
     
     
     
    Hot Spot is Jahangir's narrative of the first year of COVID, derived from his op notes (the journal-like entries surgeons often keep following operations) and expanded to include his personal reflections and a glimpse into the inner sanctums of city and state governance in crisis.

    "Some dogs, like some people, just can't abide a quiet life," writes the author of the national bestseller, The Dog Who Came to Stay, in this warm and touching memoir. 
     
     
     
    Penny the basset shows up at the Borlands' Connecticut farmhouse on a cold, snowy day—head held high, tail wagging, as if she were a long-awaited guest. Hal and Barbara Borland were no strangers to strays. Pat, the rabbit hound thousands of people came to know in The Dog Who Came to Stay, had also appeared one winter, staying to become the family's dear companion. Now, Pat is gone, and Hal and Barbara are bereft without canine company. They fall in love with Penny—and she seems to fit right in. 
     
     
      
    Penny is a delightful dog—short-legged, flop-eared, full of fun and curiosity. And she loves people, so much so that she leaves the Borlands to go visiting elsewhere, often settling in with a different family for days on end. Indeed, Hal and Barbara admire her for her spirit of individuality and independence. 
     
     
      
    Though she never truly belonged to them, the Borlands agreed that Penny was a dog well worth loving—and so will listeners.

    How I Planned Your Wedding: The All-True Story of a Mother and Daughter Surviving the Happiest Day of Their Lives    
    Bestselling author Susan Wiggs literally wrote the book on happily-ever-after love. But orchestrating her daughter Elizabeth's real-world wedding turned into a different story altogether, and one that takes two to tell—the mother and the bride.    
    Here is the all-too-true tale of a mother and daughter collaborating on life's ultimate celebration—a dream wedding. Often poignant, sometimes irreverent and always hilarious, this charming book is also packed with useful advice from both ends of the cupcake-tasting table. Join mother and daughter as they wade through the trenches of flowers and favors, grueling gown decisions…and the cold, cruel realities of a budget. With luck, love and loads of patience, they come out on the other side, bloodied but unbowed, replete with life lessons—and closer than ever before.

    To the passer-by, Mel seemed like an ordinary teenager growing up in a middle-class suburban family in Sydney, Australia; but to those who wanted to get to know her, they could see she was hiding from the truth. 
    Mel had encountered more than most had experienced in a lifetime before she had reached 17. She yearned for freedom, yet what prevailed were threats, abuse and being trapped in an underworld of shame. With all her might, she tried not to give in to the loneliness that stalked her and the fear that plagued her, whilst sleeping under the bridge. Can she reveal her secrets before it’s too late? 
    This gripping brave true story speaks into adults from all walks of life from children that have gone through sexual, physical and emotional abuse and how that affected their internal rhythm. Nothing could hold Mel together other than her determination to search for the true meaning of life itself.
