Digital fortress rev e dan brown5/12/2023 ![]() To tell the story of Fox, the 1980s superstar (“Family Ties,” “Back to the Future”) who disclosed his diagnosis with Parkinson’s disease in 1998, Guggenheim has made a love letter to the yuppie decade. As a young man, Guggenheim thought he would steer clear of his father’s legacy by setting a path as a director of feature films. His father, Charles Guggenheim, was himself an Academy Award-winning documentary filmmaker. He has worked with the election campaigns of both Barack Obama and Joe Biden, and he examined the deplorable state of our public education system in “Waiting for Superman” (2010). As the director of “An Inconvenient Truth” (2006), he helped Al Gore alert humankind to the threat of the climate crisis. ![]() Davis Guggenheim is one of the premier documentarians of our time. ![]() The Voice of the Delta by Robert Sacré5/11/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Originally published by Presses Universitaires de Liege in Belgium, this collection has been revised and updated with a new foreword by William Ferris, new images added, and some essays translated into English for the first time.

Has she run away? Did someone kidnap her? Is she still alive? And how can her family pick up the pieces after she’s gone? Then one day, Ellie is suddenly gone, and no one knows why. And the two of them are lovely people, which makes everything all the more ideal. She even has an equally perfect first boyfriend. Although Ellie might be a little precocious (what teenager isn’t?), she is nearly perfect in every way. If you’ve read The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold or watched the film based on the book, the feel of this novel is similar in that eerie-I want to look away, but I can’t-kind of way.Įllie Mack is whom every teenage girl wants to be and the kind of kid every mother of a teenage daughter wants to have. ![]() Unaccustomed earth by jhumpa lahiri5/11/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Nearly fifteen years had passed since Ruma's only European adventure, a month-long EuroRail holiday she'd taken with two girlfriends after college, with money saved up from her salary as a para-legal. The postcards showed the facades of churches, stone fountains, crowded piazzas, terra-cotta rooftops mellowed by late afternoon sun. ![]() Occasionally a postcard would arrive in Seattle, where Ruma and Adam and their son Akash lived. Each time, she kept the printout of his flight information behind a magnet on the door of the refrigerator, and on the days he was scheduled to fly she watched the news, to make sure there hadn't been a plane crash anywhere in the world. When he was away Ruma did not hear from him. He was gone for two, three, sometimes four weeks at a time. They were package tours, traveling in the company of strangers, riding by bus through the countryside, each meal and museum and hotel prearranged. In the past year he had visited France, Holland, and most recently Italy. After her mother's death, Ruma's father retired from the pharmaceutical company where he had worked for many decades and began traveling in Europe, a continent he'd never seen. ![]() Lily Renée, Escape Artist by Margaret Oh5/11/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Only Passing through: the story of Sojourner Truth by Anne F.
