Soundings : journeys in the company of whales : a memoir / by Cunningham, Doreen,author.;
Includes bibliographical references."In this memoir of motherhood, love, and resilience, a woman and her toddler son follow the grey whale migration from Mexico to northernmost Alaska. In this striking blend of nature writing, whale science, and memoir, Doreen Cunningham interweaves two stories: tracking the extraordinary northward migration of the grey whales with a mischievous toddler in tow and living with an Iñupiaq family in Alaska seven years earlier. Throughout the journey she explores the stories of the whales and their young calves-their history, their habits, and their attempts to survive the changes humans have brought to the ocean. Cunningham's voice is powerful: sharp, profound, sensitive, and unflinching. A story of courage and resilience, Soundings is about the migrating whales and all we can learn from them as they mother, adapt, and endure, their lives interrupted and threatened by global warming. It is also a riveting journey onto the Arctic Sea ice and into the changing world of Indigenous whale hunters, where Doreen becomes immersed in the ancient values of the Iñupiaq whale hunt and falls in love. For this is Doreen's story, too-a fierce, feminist tale, touching on her childhood and her time living in a Women's Refuge with her baby, becoming a mother, just like the whales. Lyrical, brave, and fearlessly honest, Soundings is an unforgettable journey"--

Dog Company : a true story of American soldiers abandoned by their high command / by Vincent, Lynn,author.; Hill, Roger T.,author.;
"Two decorated American war heroes survive combat in Afghanistan only to find themselves on an unfamiliar battlefield--the courtroom--in this true story by the commander of Delta Company, 1/506th a.k.a. Dog Company. The deaths of two of his men is agony for Captain Roger Hill and the agony is intensified when he realizes those responsible--12 Taliban spies--have been working right under his nose on the American base. When unreasonable military regulations demand that he free the spies within 96 hours, and Hill can't get his superior officer to respond to the deadline, he takes action to intimidate the prisoners to confess--and to protect his company from another attack. Instead of being thanked, Hill's superior brings him up on charges making this decorated officer's next battle a personal one--for his honor and for that of 1st Sergeant Tommy Scott, his second in command. Combining the camaraderie and battle action of Band of Brothers with the military courtroom drama of A Few Good Men, Roger Hill's story will leave you impassioned, inspired and forever changed"--Provided by publisher.

Inside SNC-Lavalin : how crime and politics almost killed a great Canadian company / by Stevenson, Lawrence,author.;
"A riveting insider's account of the most explosive Canadian scandal of the last decade. The SNC-Lavalin affair dominated Canadian headlines in 2019, pushing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government to the brink and casting one of the nation's largest and most successful companies as a villain looking to escape the consequences of its actions. Former company director and chairman, Larry Stevenson, challenges the narratives surrounding the scandal and reveals a far more complex story. This riveting insider account examines how the small group of executives who betrayed the company were brought to justice, and how corporate leaders fought to save SNC-Lavalin from financial ruin and foreign takeover. With disarming frankness, Stevenson delves into the flawed handling of corporate crime by Canadian prosecutors, global double standards around corruption, and the systemic issues that left the company vulnerable in an unprecedented political power struggle in Ottawa. This is a candid, gripping exploration of corruption, accountability, and the tension between justice and survival in the modern business world."--
