Highway Robbery (Hardy Boys Casefiles #41)
by Franklin W. DixonFrom the back of the book: Rolling thunder! The highway can be a very dangerous place-especially when you're carrying a heavy cargo. The Hardys have gone undercover, determined to crack a truck hijacking scheme, but a ruthless gang of thugs are just as determined to run them off the road. The hijackers are spreading terror on the interstates, and whoever gets in their way could end up on a one-way dead-end street. Someone's going to eat asphalt, but Frank and Joe are prepared. They're gunning the engines and riding the roads on eighteen wheels of diesel-powered chrome and steel! ================ From inside the book: TRUCKIN' INTO TROUBLE Frank's right hand was anchored to the door handle of the eighteen-wheeler by the handcuffs, but he reached his left hand back, extending himself as far as possible. He missed the crank that connected the rig to the cab by a couple of feet. It was obvious that he couldn't possibly reach the handle that way. The truck hurtled around a sharp turn, and Frank's door flew wide open. For a moment he dangled just above the onrushing asphalt road. Grabbing frantically for the door frame with his left hand, he pulled himself back against the side of the cab. "I'll never get it this way," he gasped. "Hurry, Frank!" Pat screamed. "I can't keep us on the road much longer!"
Un hijo americano
by Marco RubioPocos políticos han alcanzado una preeminencia a nivel nacional tan rápidamente como Marco Rubio. A sus cuarenta y un años de edad es objeto de un interés genera-lizado y de muchas especulaciones, pero nunca antes había contado en detalle la increíble historia que con todos sus giros y vueltas hizo de él un hijo americano. Esa historia empezó cuando sus padres salieron de Cuba en 1956. Una vez que Fidel Castro y su comunismo se tomaron el poder, Mario y Oria Rubio jamás pudieron regresar a su tierra natal. Pero adoptaron su nuevo país y enseñaron a sus hijos a agradecerle sus extraordinarias oportunidades. Cada sacrificio que hicieron durante todos esos años y los trabajos que pasaron en humildes oficios en Miami y Las Vegas, fue por sus hijos. De niño, Rubio pasaba horas y horas con su abuelo analizando la historia y los sucesos del momento. A "Papá" le fascinaba ser cubano, pero también le fascinaban los Estados Unidos por ser un modelo de libertad para los pueblos oprimidos de todo el mundo. Como dice Rubio: "Mi abuelo no pensaba que los Estados Unidos es un país excepcional por haberlo leído en un libro. Él lo experimentó y lo vio con sus propios ojos". Destrozado por la muerte de su abuelo, Rubio empezó a obtener malas calificaciones al mismo tiempo que le costaba trabajo encajar en la escuela secundaria, donde algunos de sus condiscípulos lo ridiculizaban por ser "demasiado americano". Sin embargo, impulsado por el fútbol americano y la política, sus dos grandes pasiones, ya en la universidad y en la escuela de leyes se dedicó a estudiar en serio. Habiendo jugado fútbol americano en una pequeña universidad en Missouri, regresó a la Florida para estudiar en el Santa Fe Community College y la Universidad de Florida. Obtuvo su título de abogado en la Universidad de Miami y entró a trabajar en un bufete de abogados con un salario excelente, que permitió que su padre se retirara. Siendo un joven abogado, se postuló como candidato para comisionado de la ciudad de West Miami, cargo que lo condujo a la Cámara de Representantes. En solo seis años llegó a ser Presidente de la Cámara y se convirtió en un destacado abanderado de la libre empresa, así como de la lucha por tener mejores escuelas, un gobierno constitucional y un sistema tributario más justo y simplificado. Descubrió entonces que podía relacionarse con la gente más allá de las barreras partidistas y mantener su respeto por los valores conservadores tradicionales. Su campaña para el Senado de los Estados Unidos contra Charlie Crist, para ese entonces popular gobernador de la Florida, se inició como una posibilidad muy remota. Sin dejarse desanimar, ni por las cifras de las primeras encuestas ni por el tiempo que debió permanecer alejado de su esposa e hijos, Rubio recorrió todo el estado con su mensaje de empoderamiento y optimismo. Y venció a Crist, tanto en la elección primaria como en una dramática elección general tripartita, después de que Crist abandonara el Gran Partido Republicano para postularse como independiente. Ahora, Rubio habla en los estrados nacionales sobre los retos que afrontamos y ese futuro mejor que podremos alcanzar si volvemos a nuestros principios fundadores. En sus propias palabras: "El conservatismo no busca retrasar a la gente. El conservatismo busca actualizar a la gente". Con esa visión, igual que con la historia de su familia, Rubio ha demonstrado que el Sueño Americano aún tiene vigencia para aquellos que luchan por alcanzarlo. Few politicians have risen to national prominence as quickly as Marco Rubio. At age forty-one he''s the subject of widespread interest and speculation. But he has never before told the full story of his unlikely journey, with all the twists and turns that made him an American son. That journey began when his parents first left Cuba in 1956. After Fidel Castro solidified his Communist grip on power, Mario and Oria Rubio could never again return to their homeland. But they embraced their new country and taught their children to appreciate its unique opportu...

Hippie Boy
by Ingrid RicksDiscover the unforgettable New York Times bestselling memoir about growing up in a dysfunctional Mormon family--and finding escape, adventure, and hard-earned wisdom on the road... What would you do if your stepfather pinned you down and tried to cast Satan out of you? For thirteen-year-old Ingrid, the answer is simple: RUN. For years Ingrid Ricks yearned to escape the poverty and the suffocating brand of Mormon religion that oppressed her at home. Her chance came when she was thirteen and took a trip with her divorced dad, traveling throughout the Midwest, selling tools and hanging around with the men on his shady revolving sales crew. It felt like freedom from her controlling mother and cruel, authoritarian stepfather--but it came with its own disappointments and dysfunctions, and she would soon learn a lesson that would change her life: she can't look to others to save her; she has to save herself.
The Hippie House
by Katherine HolubitskyThe "summer of love" is a time of idealistic freedom and experimentation for Emma, her cousin Megan, and the young people of Pike Creek. While her brother Eric's band practices in what Uncle Pat has dubbed the Hippie House, the girls suntan on their small lake and hitchhike into town to hang around the Drop-In Center. They find the growing crowd of long-haired musicians and hangers-on that begin to show up at the farm both enticing and a bit scary. The beginning of the school year brings excitement and change for Emma. But when eighteen-year-old Katie Russell disappears, her teenage sense of immortality is suddenly shattered. A month later, when Eric discovers Katie's body in the Hippie House, the entire community is thrown into turmoil. There are plenty of suspects in the brutal murder, but for months the case remains unsolved. And while others speculate, Eric agonizes that the killer may have been one of the many drifters who passed through the Hippie House during the summer.

by John HerseyPulitzer Prize-winning journalist and bestselling author John Hersey's seminal work of narrative nonfiction which has defined the way we think about nuclear warfare. &“One of the great classics of the war" (The New Republic) that tells what happened in Hiroshima during World War II through the memories of the survivors of the first atomic bomb ever dropped on a city. "The perspective [Hiroshima] offers from the bomb&’s actual victims is the mandatory counterpart to any Oppenheimer viewing." —GQ Magazine &“Nothing can be said about this book that can equal what the book has to say. It speaks for itself, and in an unforgettable way, for humanity.&” —The New York Times Hiroshima is the story of six human beings who lived through the greatest single manmade disaster in history. John Hersey tells what these six -- a clerk, a widowed seamstress, a physician, a Methodist minister, a young surgeon, and a German Catholic priest -- were doing at 8:15 a.m. on August 6, 1945, when Hiroshima was destroyed by the first atomic bomb ever dropped on a city. Then he follows the course of their lives hour by hour, day by day.The New Yorker of August 31, 1946, devoted all its space to this story. The immediate repercussions were vast: newspapers here and abroad reprinted it; during evening half-hours it was read over the network of the American Broadcasting Company; leading editorials were devoted to it in uncounted newspapers.Almost four decades after the original publication of this celebrated book John Hersey went back to Hiroshima in search of the people whose stories he had told. His account of what he discovered about them -- the variety of ways in which they responded to the past and went on with their lives -- is now the eloquent and moving final chapter of Hiroshima.
