  When I die and people realize that I will not be resurrected in three days, they will forget me. That is the way it should be. For reasons known only to God, I was asked to write an autobiography. Most people who knew me growing up didn't think I would ever read a book, let alone write one.—Lou Holtz 
  Few people in the history of college sports have been more influential or had a bigger impact than Lou Holtz. Winner of the three national Coach of the Year honors, the only coach ever to lead six different schools to season-ending bowl games, and the ninth-winningest coach in college football history, Holtz is still teaching and coaching, although he is no longer on the gridiron.  
  In his most telling work to date, the man still known as ""Coach"" reveals what motivated a rail-thin 135-pound kid with marginal academic credentials and a pronounced speech impediment to play and coach college football, and to become one of the most sought-after motivational speakers in history. With unflinching honesty and his trademark dry wit, Holtz goes deep, giving us the intimate details of the people who shaped his life and the decisions he would make that shaped the life of so many others. 
  His is a storied career, and Holtz provides a frank and inside look at the challenges he overcame to turn around the programs at William and Mary, North Carolina State, Arkansas, and Minnesota. From growing up in East Liverpool, Ohio, to his early days as a graduate assistant at the University of Iowa, to his national championship runs at Notre Dame and his final seasons on the sidelines in South Carolina, Lou Holtz gives his best, a poignant, funny, and instructive look into a life well lived.

  The St. Croix River is a 169-mile ribbon of blue that cleaves the land between Minnesota and Wisconsin. Exploring the St. Croix River Valley provides a tour of the St. Croix Riverway and its 8,000-square-mile watershed. Environmental educator Angie Hong recommends specific places to explore the varied habitats and shows us myriad ways to get out and enjoy by hiking, paddling, biking, skiing, fishing, and more. As she travels from headwaters to tributaries, Hong takes in the Arcola High Bridge (with a side of freshwater mussel lore), searches for the perfect lakeside supper club, and talks to wildlife pros and volunteers restoring prairies, oak savanna, streams, and woodland habitats. 
   
   
   
  With stops at Standing Cedars Community Land Conservancy, Sunfish Lake Park, and the Chequamegon–Nicolet National Forest, listeners will learn about the landscape and its history—groundwater geology and riverside land formations, ephemeral wildflowers and forests lost to logging—and the local fauna such as skinks and osprey, red-headed woodpeckers, grouse, and elk. Along the way, Hong has her own stories to tell, from paddling the Namekagon and wild ricing on the Moosehorn to planting trees with school kids. With its mix of stories and practical information, Exploring the St. Croix River Valley makes an engaging companion for anyone venturing to this extraordinary place.

  Get a rare glimpse into the mind of Karrion Kross
  		 
  "Life is Fighting is a must-read for any fan of the wrestling business." — Kofi Kingston, WWE Grand Slam Champion, 16-time Tag Team Champion
  		 
  His physique and unbridled intensity are enough to inspire fear. Factor in a unique combination of precision and abject ruthlessness, and it becomes clear that anyone stepping into the ring with him is in immediate danger. A master of catch wrestling and jiu jitsu, Kross has done battle around the world. He boasts an array of devastating suplexes. And if that's not enough, he's more than happy to put opponents to sleep . . . But despite his menacing exterior, the human being behind the character—Kevin Kesar—is soft-spoken and highly thoughtful. Recognized by his peers for his exceptional love for his profession, Kesar endured numerous setbacks on the way to achieving his dream. Along with his wife, Elizabeth—known in WWE as Scarlett—he has repeatedly found the fortitude to bounce back stronger. In Life is Fighting he shares the real story.
