  Who the Hell Is Troy Gilbert? is a heartfelt and often humorous nonfiction memoir that captures the life, character, and legacy of a remarkable Texas original. 
  Told through vivid personal memories, family stories, and reflections from friends and loved ones, author Brenda Underwood paints an intimate portrait of Troy Gilbert and the close-knit rural community that shaped him. Set primarily in North Texas, the book brings to life a disappearing way of American small-town living, one rooted in family, hard work, loyalty, and storytelling passed down through generations. 
  From childhood adventures and farm life to friendships, losses, laughter, and resilience, this memoir is as much about place and people as it is about one man. Rich in local color and authentic voice, it reads like a front-porch conversation, honest, affectionate, and unforgettable. 
  This book will resonate with readers who enjoy personal memoirs, family histories, regional Americana, and true stories that celebrate ordinary lives lived extraordinarily well.

  Day in the Life of the Maya A:...

  Many ancient civilizations have influenced and inspired people in the 21st century. The Greeks and Romans continue to fascinate the West today. But of all the world’s civilizations, none have intrigued people more than the Mayans, whose culture, astronomy, language, and mysterious disappearance all continue to captivate people. 
  In 2012 especially, there has been a renewed focus on the Mayans, whose advanced calendar has led many to speculate the world will end on the same date the Mayan calendar ends. The focus on the “doomsday” scenario, however, has overshadowed the Mayans’ true contribution to astronomy, language, sports, and art. 
  The preoccupation with 2012 and the Mayan calendar has also overshadowed the discussion over who exactly the Mayans were. The Maya are one of the most famous civilizations in history, but what was it like to be Mayan at the height of their civilization in the 15th century? What did they eat? What did they play? What was their religion? How did they build their cities and organize their empire? How did they fight? 
  A Day in the Life of the Maya answers these questions by comprehensively examining and analyzing everything about their culture, including their history, religion, architecture, farming, calendar, ball game, cosmology and origins.

  Defectors - How the Illicit...

  Defectors fleeing the Soviet Union seized the world's attention during the Cold War. Their stories were given sensational news coverage and dramatized in spy novels and films. Upon reaching the West, they were entitled to special benefits, including financial assistance and permanent residency. In contrast to other migrants, defectors were pursued by the states they left even as they were eagerly sought by the United States and its allies. Taking part in a risky game that played out across the globe, defectors sought to transcend the limitations of the Cold War world. 
   
   
   
  Defectors follows their treacherous journeys and looks at how their unauthorized flight via land, sea, and air gave shape to a globalized world. It charts a global struggle over defectors that unfolded among rival intelligence agencies operating in the shadows of an occupied Europe, in the forbidden border zones of the USSR, in the disputed straits of the South China Sea, on a hijacked plane 10,000 feet in the air, and around the walls of Soviet embassies. 
   
   
   
  Although defection all but disappeared after the Cold War, this innovative work shows how it shaped the governance of global borders and helped forge an international refugee system whose legacy and limitations remain with us to this day.
