It was originally published on September 14, 2008, by Scholastic.  It is the first book of the Hunger Games trilogy. It introduces sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives in a post-apocalyptic world in the country of  Panem where North America once existed. This is where a government working in a central city called the Capitol holds power. In the book,  the Hunger Games are an annual televised event where the Capitol chooses one boy and one girl from each of 12 districts to fight to the death.  The Hunger Games exist to demonstrate that not even children are beyond the reach of the Capitol's jurisdiction.  Catching Fire:  Katniss learns that the Capitol is angry at her for her defiance in the previous novel, which started a chain reaction that inspired rebellion in the districts.  For a special 75th edition of the Hunger Games, she and Peeta are forced into competing a second time with other past winners. They team up with a  few other tributes and manage to destroy the arena and escape the Games. Katniss is transported to District 13, a place that is widely thought to  no longer exist, but Peeta is captured by the Capitol.  Mockingjay  Mockingjay, the third and final book, centers around Katniss and the districts' rebellion against the Capitol. Katniss, now a refugee in District 13,  demands the right to kill President Snow. Peeta and the others who were captured by the Capitol are rescued by a party including Gale,  but Peeta's memories have been "hijacked" with the use of tracker jacker venom, which causes him to hate Katniss. He tries to kill Katniss, but is restrained.  Finally, a group including Katniss, Gale, and a normalized Peeta go to the Capitol on a mission to assassinate President Snow. Before Katniss can reach him,  her little sister Prim is killed in a bombing. Snow later tells Katniss that Coin, the president of District 13, was behind the bombing.  During Snow's execution Katniss shoots Coin, and later Snow is also found dead, possibly from choking on his own blood.  Katniss has a psychotic break, and tries to kill herself while in solitary confinement. Katniss, Peeta, and Haymitch return to District 12, and  Katniss eventually begins to recover. In the epilogue, it is revealed that Katniss and Peeta are married and have two children.

Every day we eat food products made of wheat. As a result millions of people experience some form of adverse health effect, ranging from minor rashes and high blood sugar to the unattractive stomach bulges that preventative cardiologist William Davis calls 'wheat bellies'. According to Davis, that fat has nothing to do with gluttony, sloth or too much butter: it's down to the whole grain food products so many people eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner. After witnessing over 2,000 patients regain their health after giving up wheat, Davis reached the disturbing conclusion that wheat is the single largest contributor to the nationwide obesity epidemic - and its elimination is key to dramatic weight loss and optimal health. In Wheat Belly Davis exposes the harmful effects of what is actually a product of genetic tinkering being sold to the public as 'wheat' and provides readers with a user-friendly, step-by-step plan to navigate a new, wheat-free lifestyle. Benefits include: substantial weight loss, correction of cholesterol abnormalities, relief from arthritis, mood benefits and prevention of heart disease. Informed by cutting-edge science and nutrition, and numerous case studies, Wheat Belly is an illuminating look at what is truly making us sick.

  A Furnace Afloat: The Wreck of the Hornet and the Harrowing 4,300-mile Voyage of Its Survivors Hardcover – September 30, 2003 - Joe Jackson - 2003 - Paperback as new. On May 3, 1866, the clipper ship Hornet was consumed by fire and sank in the middle of the South Pacific. Thirty-one survivors boarded three tiny lifeboats and began the 4,300-mile voyage to the Hawaiian Islands. Along the way, they faced terrible heat, storms, starvation, treachery, mutiny and the threat of cannibalism. Those who made landfall, six weeks later, became some of the 19th century's most famous castaways. True crime veteran Jackson (Leavenworth Train, etc.) superbly retells the tale, drawing on impressive primary sources. In addition to the journals left by the captain and two passengers, Jackson incorporates interviews with the survivors conducted by a young reporter named Mark Twain, who happened to be in Hawaii at the time. (Twain's articles on the Hornet were picked up by newspapers worldwide and made his reputation, despite a mistaken byline in Harper's of "Mark Swain.") These sources allow Jackson to quote dialogue, sketch characters' thoughts and avoid the speculation that diminishes so many historical narratives. These events are dramatic enough: a thief steals bread-and murder is nearly the result; a seaman sacrifices a water ration to a sick man he fully expects to eat the next day; and mutineers huddle in the stern to plot. Jackson weaves in astute tidbits of history, philosophy and science, explaining why, for example, cannibalism is not a physiologically effective survival tactic. Vividly and sympathetically written, this is a tragic yet triumphant book about the limits of humanity and human endurance.
