Non-Fiction Arrivals

 New non-fiction items are arriving weekly for the permanent 

collection and we don't want our non-fiction readers to feel left out.  There seems to be an adventure theme this week with tales of danger and risk, including one very daring librarian outrunning Al Qaeda, as he and others risk all to save ancient manuscripts in 

The Badass Librarians of Timbuktu 

Hedy's Folly is a fascinating account of Hedy Lamarr's daring escape from the Nazi's with a thorough knowledge of military technology and an idea that would change modern communications technology into the twenty first century.

Texas Ranger, the Epic Life of Frank Hamer tells the story of the unique American life of the man who caught and killed Bonnie and Clyde. But before that, Hamer led a daring life along the Mexican border where the Mexican Revolution spilled over into the U.S., and he protected African Americans from lynch mobs, hunted the Ku Klux Klan, and fought The Bandit War of 1915.

The Beekeeper, Rescuing the Stolen women of Iraq is the 
unfolding tale of one man who used subterfuge, smugglers and their routes to rescue Yazidi women from ISIS slavery.
