- Death Valley : a novel / by Broder, Melissa,author.;
"The most profound book yet from the visionary author of Milk Fed and The Pisces, a darkly funny novel about grief that becomes a desert survival story. In Melissa Broder's astounding new novel, a woman arrives alone at a Best Western seeking respite from an emptiness that plagues her. She has fled to the California desert to escape a cloud of sorrow-both for her father in the ICU and a disabled husband whose illness is worsening. What the motel provides, however, is not peace but a path, thanks to a receptionist who recommends a nearby hike. Out on the sun-scorched trail, the woman encounters a towering cactus whose size and shape mean it should not exist in California. Yet the cactus is there, with a gash through its side that beckons like a familiar door. So she enters it. What this woman finds inside this mystical succulent sets her on a journey at once desolate and rich, hilarious and poignant. This is Melissa Broder at her most imaginative, most universal, and finest. This is Death Valley"--- Subjects: Magic realist fiction.; Novels.; Cactus; Fathers and daughters; Grief; Married people;

- Burn : a novel / by Heller, Peter,1959-author.;
"Every year Jess and Storey have made an annual pilgrimage to northern Maine where they camp, hunt, and hike, leaving much from their long friendship unspoken. Although the state has convulsed all summer with secession mania--a mania that had simultaneously spread across other states--Jess and Storey figure it's a fight reserved for legislators or, worse-case scenario, folks in the capitol. But after two weeks hunting moose off the grid, the men reach a small town and are shocked to find a bridge blown apart, buildings burned to the ground, and bombed-out cars abandoned on the road. Trying to make sense of the sudden destruction all around them, the men set their sights on finding their way home, dragging a wagon across bumpy dirt roads, ransacking boats left in the lakes, and dodging men who are armed--secessionists or military, they cannot tell--as they seek a path to safety. And then, a startling discovery, a child in the cabin of a boat, drastically alters their path and the stakes of their escape."--- Subjects: Thrillers (Fiction); Novels.; Friendship; Outdoor life; Separatist movements;

- Niagara : your guide to the Falls and beyond / by Brown, Ron,1945-author.;
"The first-known European to gaze upon Niagara Falls was a Jesuit priest and explorer named Louis Hennepin in 1688. He took his somewhat exaggerated description of its size and power back to amazed Europeans. From then on, the Falls became a must-see destination for people from around the world and one of Canada's leading tourist attractions. But there is more to the Niagara region than a mighty cataract. There are the world-class hotels and casinos, the Shaw Festival, the wineries, the hydroelectric generators, the natural wonders, the historic sites, and the Welland Canal--an engineering marvel and vital transportation link. This book is the story of the falls and beyond, covering: the geological evolution of the Falls; pioneering development of Ontario's hydroelectric power; Niagara's wine region; Niagara's Indigenous legacy; the War of 1812; Niagara's Black history and heritage; modern hotels and historic hostelries; the Niagara Parkway; bridges across the Niagara River; the gardens of Niagara; hiking trails and conservation areas; casinos, hotels and midway Rides; the Shaw Festival; historic downtown streetscapes; Niagara's historic mansions; lost villages and ghost towns; Niagara's railway legacy, and more"--- Subjects: Guidebooks.;
