  Fiction books have been written about him. Documentaries have revealed the horrors he executed on innocent victims in concentration camps in Poland. Meet Dr. Josef Mengele, a man with a twisted mind who had no compassion for the subjects he experimented on. His methods were cruel. His conclusions were inconclusive, and his sadism hardly knew any boundaries. 
  At the time of The Second World War, Josef Mengele, typically referred to as the Angel of Death, was a German Schutzstaffel (SS) officer and cosmetic surgeon. He is known for his exploits at the Auschwitz prisoner-of-war camp, where he carried out deadly experiments on slaves and belonged of the team of medical professionals that chose victims for the gas chambers and was just one of the medical professionals who administered the gas. 
  If this is the kind of stuff you like to read about or listen to, then this book is definitely for you. Find out the truth and count yourself lucky that you never fell victim to his sickening methods.

  It’s not gay to admire another guy’s physique…right? 
  “Go ahead, bro—it’s ok to touch.” 
  I extend my hands, resting my palms atop his hard, golden-tan pecs. My fingertips glide over his sunbaked hide as I stare in awe at the flawless curvature. There’s something about touching another guy’s chest that feels incredibly emasculating…but it also feels good? I don’t understand… 
  He says he’ll help me get fit if I follow his instructions, but lately, that’s meant giving him a lot of money. I’ve been obeying though. I can’t explain why, but it just feels like the right thing to do. 
  We’ve even been doing his “special” exercises every day after the gym. I was hesitant at first, but he assures me it gets the blood flowing and promotes muscle growth. 
  He’s just trying to help me improve myself… 
  …right?

  Science in the Ancient World

  This audiobook is a companion to the Science in the Ancient World Textbook. 
  While it is possible to learn a lot of science by just listening to the audiobook on it's own, the textbook is required to gain the full value from this course. 
  Science in the Ancient World is the second book in a hands-on, multilevel elementary science series that introduces scientific concepts using history as its guide. Because each lesson is built around an activity or experiment, it is engaging for all K-6 students. In addition, there are three levels of review for each lesson, so the parent/teacher can choose the depth at which each student is expected to grasp the material. The course contains roughly 90 hours of instruction, 35 of which are composed of hands-on activities. 
  The course covers the scientific work of natural philosophers who lived from about 600 BC to the early AD 1500s. It concentrates mostly on what these ancient scientists got right, but it does spend some time discussing what they got wrong, because even the mistakes that scientists make can sometimes advance our understanding of the natural world. Of course, when the students are taught something that is now known to be incorrect, they are made aware of this fact! 
  Because the course covers science as it was developed, it covers a wide range of topics including human anatomy, medicine, optics, heliocentrism, geocentrism, sound, music, magnets, how steam is used to generate power, the motion of objects through a medium, combustion, levers, pulleys, plant growth, plant anatomy, tree ring dating, the atmosphere, astronomy, the basics of graphing, plastics, density, water flow, friction, and erosion. Throughout the course, students learn that most of the great scientists who lived from AD 500 to the end of this time period were devout Christians who did science because they thought they could learn more about God by studying His handiwork.

  Settling the Boom - The Sites...

  Examines how settler colonial and sexist infrastructures and narratives order a resource boom 
   
   
   
  Over the past decade, new oil plays have unsettled U.S. energy landscapes and imaginaries. Settling the Boom studies how the disruptive forces of an oil boom in the northern Great Plains are contained through the extension of settler temporalities, reassertions of heteropatriarchy, and the tethering of life to the volatility of oil and its cruel optimisms. 
   
   
   
  This collection reveals the results of sustained research in Williston, North Dakota, the epicenter of the "Bakken Boom." While the boom brought a rapid influx of capital and workers, the book questions simple timelines of before and after. Instead, Settling the Boom demonstrates how the unsettling forces of an oil play resolve through normative narratives and material and affective infrastructures that support settler colonialism's violent extension and its gendered orders of time and space. Considering a wide range of evidence, from urban and regional policy, interviews with city officials, media, photography, and film, these essays analyze the ongoing material, aesthetic, and narrative ways of life and land in the Bakken.

  A Light in the Northern Sea -...

  August 25, 1943. A lone bicyclist transports a cache of explosives, hidden in a beer crate, to a Copenhagen hall being readied to house German troops. In a violent blast, the would-be barracks is reduced to rubble. It's the boldest act yet of Holger Danske and the growing Danish resistance combating the oppressiveness of Hitler's Reich. 
   
   
   
  In 1940, on its way to conquering Western Europe, Germany coerced the Danish government into a "cooperative" agreement that lasted three long years until the increasing brazenness of the Resistance movement prompted a crackdown. Denmark's nearly 8000 Jews, who had so far been spared Hitler's wrath, now became the focus of his rage. A roundup was ordered to begin on October 1st, 1943, the first day of the Jewish New Year. 
   
   
   
  The only passage to safety was across the Oresund to Sweden. But no group existed to organize an escape. Until the last moment, Sweden didn’t agree to allow the refugees into the country; and the strait between the two nations was swarming with Gestapo. What happened next was a miracle. 95% of Denmark's Jews survived the Holocaust, the highest percentage in Europe. Here are the riveting true accounts of ordinary Danes who, using their modest resources, wiles, remarkable courage, and camaraderie, quietly orchestrated their escape.
