What a breath of fresh air! You and your team have articulated in one book what we are all so hungry for as a society. . . . We have forgotten how to respect and honor our fellow human beings as equal travelers on this journey. -Matthew D. Breitfelder, vice president of leadership development for MasterCard Worldwide This simple little book has a simple little theme, Act the way you want the world to be.Motivated by his experience at a concert during which a Grammy Award-winning musician was forced to stop mid-song in order to ask the audience to ratchet down its conversation, author and speaker John Sweeney rallied the troops at his theater to come up with 365 ways to lead a more considerate, and considered, life.#107If someone cuts you off in traffic, give the peace sign instead of the finger.Road rage creates unresolvable anger that you won't be able to shake. And at 60 mph, the other driver might think it's the finger anyway. It's a win-win situation.John Sweeney wears a lot of different hats. He owns the nation's oldest satirical comedy theater; he's an author, an improviser, a corporate trainer, a keynote speaker, and he has appeared on national television without a shirt-on more than one occasion, though he probably shouldn't.The Brave New Workshop contributors include: Lauren Anderson, Mike Fotis, Dave Jennings, Katy McEwen, Brian Aylmer, John Haynes, Lynn Lanners, Julia Schmidt, Joe Bozic, Dawn Hopkins, Jenni Lilledahl, Stephanie Scott, Erin Farmer, Elena Imaretska, and Caleb McEwen.

Bestselling author Katherine Applegate presents Home of the Brave, a beautifully wrought middle grade novel about an immigrant's journey from hardship to hope. Kek comes from Africa. In America he sees snow for the first time, and feels its sting. He's never walked on ice, and he falls. He wonders if the people in this new place will be like the winter – cold and unkind. In Africa, Kek lived with his mother, father, and brother. But only he and his mother have survived, and now she's missing. Kek is on his own. Slowly, he makes friends: a girl who is in foster care; an old woman who owns a rundown farm, and a cow whose name means "family" in Kek's native language. As Kek awaits word of his mother's fate, he weathers the tough Minnesota winter by finding warmth in his new friendships, strength in his memories, and belief in his new country. Home of the Brave is a 2008 Bank Street - Best Children's Book of the Year.

In this unforgettable Star Trek adventure spanning three generations, a series of ancient weapons wreak havoc across the galaxy. When Captain Jonathan Archer of the USS Enterprise discovers ancient weapons of absolute power scattered across the Alpha Quadrant, he and the rest of Starfleet are warned to stay clear of these dangerous devices. A century later, Captain James T. Kirk and Commodore Matt Decker of the USS Constellation come across an artifact on the colony world of Alpha Proxima II—a world ravaged by a mysterious plague. Can they discover the significance of this artifact and bring order to Proxima before it’s too late? One hundred years after that, Commander Benjamin Sisko of Station Deep Space Nine enlists the aid of Captain Declan Keogh of the USS Odyssey to help construct a farming colony on Bajor’s second moon. But the colony is placed in jeopardy when the Bajoran terrorist Orta discovers a strange artifact that threatens destruction on a massive scale.
