Summary: "The sixth edition of this clear and concise Understanding treatise thoroughly incorporates and explains the 2022 Amendments to the Uniform Commercial Code. These amendments created a new Article 12 governing the holding and transfer of digital assets such as virtual currencies and non-fungible tokens. Significant portions of Article 9, the main subject of the book, were amended to facilitate the use of these assets as collateral for loans and other obligations. In describing these amendments, this edition explains inherently complex topics related to emerging technologies clearly, so that those without a background in technology may readily understand them. The new edition also expands its coverage of existing concepts, providing numerous examples to help the reader apply legal principles to many different types of commercial finance transactions. The chapter on the effects of bankruptcy on secured transactions has been thoroughly revised and expanded and provides the most comprehensive explanation of that topic available anywhere"--

Summary: "In this groundbreaking book, Kevin Shipp, a veteran CIA agent who worked with all four Directorates of the agency, including protecting the head of the CIA, provides his perspective on how the agency has strayed so far from its original mission to provide accurate intelligence to the American president. You will learn about the founding of the Agency, how the intelligence agencies have manipulated journalists through Project Mockingbird, as well as their new efforts with the Center for Global Engagement and Big Tech interference. Shipp will also give you his up close and personal assessment of how the directors of the agency have contributed to our safety or undermined it. Shipp and Heckenlively detail how the CIA has blocked whistleblowers and the reforms they champion, while also controlling our country through secret alliances with large corporations, Wall Street, Big Media, the drug trade, and blackmail of our political leaders. Shipp provides his own history with the Agency, both the good and bad, including the Agency's attempt to ruin his career and life when he turned whistleblower. Perhaps most striking of all, Shipp lays out his plan for a dramatic overhaul of the Agency, likely to win wide approval from other sectors of the intelligence community, restoring the freedom of our country, while also keeping us safe from our adversaries"--Jacket.

Summary: "Edie is a talented dancer and skilled gymnast with hopes of making the Olympics. Between her rigorous training and her struggle to find her place in a family where she's considered the daughter "with brains but no looks," Edie's too busy to dwell on the state of the world. But life in Hungary in 1943 is dangerous for a Jewish girl. Just as Edie falls in love for the first time, Europe collapses into war, and Edie's family is forced onto a train bound for the Auschwitz concentration camp. Even in that darkest of moments, Edie's beloved, Eric, kindles hope. "I'll never forget your eyes," he tells her through the slats of the cattle car. Auschwitz is horrifying beyond belief, yet through starvation and unthinkable terrors, dreams of Eric sustain Edie. Against all odds, Edie and her sister Magda survive, thanks to their sisterhood and sheer grit. In this young adult edition of her bestselling, award-winning memoir The Choice, renowned psychologist and Holocaust survivor Dr. Edith Eger gives readers a gift of hope and strength"--

Format: Books
Summary: "Derek Black was raised to take over the white nationalist movement in the United States. Their father, Don Black, was a former Grand Wizard in the Ku Klux Klan and started Stormfront, the internet's first white supremacist website--Derek built the kids' page. David Duke, was also their close family friend and mentor. Racist hatred, though often wrapped up in respectability, was all Derek knew. Then, while in college in 2013, Derek publicly renounced white nationalism and apologized for their actions and the suffering that they had caused. The majority of their family stopped speaking to them, and they disappeared into academia, convinced that they had done so much harm that there was no place for them in public life. But in 2016, as they watched the rise of Donald Trump, they immediately recognized what they were hearing--the spread and mainstreaming of the hate they had helped cultivate--and they knew that they couldn't stay silent. This is a thoughtful, insightful, and moving account of a singular life, with important lessons for our troubled times. Derek can trace a uniquely insider account of the rise of white nationalism, and how a child indoctrinated with hate can become an anti-racist adult. Few understand the ideology, motivations, or tactics of the white nationalist movement like Derek, and few have ever made so profound a change. When coded language and creeping authoritarianism spread the ideas of white nationalists, this is an essential book with a powerful voice."--

Summary: "This project is, first and foremost, a how-to book. Chapman aims to provide practical, tactical advice on becoming a good beekeeper. She also wants to share the joy of that journey with lots of stories and illustrations about her own beekeeping. In essence, she believes you won't devote resources to bees if you don't love them first. The path to appreciating bees begins with understanding them, and their hives. So chapter one covers bee biology (there is a great sidebar on bee sex), chapter two focuses on the architecture of a hive (why are honeycombs composed of tiny hexagons?), and chapter three is about bee nutrition. There are subsequent chapters on feeding your bees (or not, just don't use agave nectar, which sounds like it should work but white sugar is better), seasonality, and inspecting your hive. By the second half of the book, we are learning more advanced skills, like how to spot pests and diseases, how to grow your hive, manage swarms (these are not angry bees! They're just looking for a good home and beekeepers will catch them), and, yes, harvest honey if you're lucky enough to have some in your hive"--

Summary: "As the nation recovered from a cataclysmic war, two titans of design profoundly influenced how Americans came to interact with the built and natural world around them through their pioneering work in architecture and landscape design. Frederick Law Olmsted is widely revered as America's first and finest parkmaker and environmentalist, the force behind Manhattan's Central Park, Brooklyn's Prospect Park, Biltmore's parkland in Asheville, dozens of parks across the country, and the preservation of Yosemite and Niagara Falls. Yet his close friend and sometime collaborator, Henry Hobson Richardson, has been almost entirely forgotten today, despite his outsized influence on American architecture-from Boston's iconic Trinity Church to Chicago's Marshall Field Wholesale Store to the Shingle Style and the wildly popular 'open plan' he conceived for family homes. Individually they created much-beloved buildings and public spaces. Together they married natural landscapes with built structures in train stations and public libraries that helped drive the shift in American life from congested cities to developing suburbs across the country. The small, reserved Olmsted and the passionate, Falstaffian Richardson could not have been more different in character, but their sensibilities were closely aligned. In chronicling their intersecting lives and work in the context of the nation's post-war renewal, Hugh Howard reveals how these two men created original all-American idioms in architecture and landscape that influence how we enjoy our public and private spaces to this day"--
