Life at the Extremes of Our Capacity

From evolutionary biologist Rowan Hooper, an awe-inspiring look into the extremes of human ability—and what they tell us about our own potential. In 1997, an endurance runner named Yiannis Kouros ran 188 miles in twenty-four hours. Akira Haraguchi, a sixty year-old man in Tokyo, can recite pi to the 100,000th decimal point. John Nunn was accepted to Oxford University at age 15, the youngest undergraduate in 500 years. After a horrific attack by her estranged husband, Carmen Tarleton was left with burns to over eighty percent of her body. One of her surgeons said her injuries “were beyond anything we have ever seen.” After a three-month coma, multiple skin grafts, and successful face transplant, Tarleton is now a motivational speaker. What does it feel like to be exceptional? And what does it take to get there? Why can some people achieve greatness when others can’t, no matter how hard they try? Just how much potential does our species have? Evolutionary biologist Rowan Hooper has the answers. In Superhuman he takes us on a breathtaking tour of the peaks of human achievement that shows us what it feels like to be extraordinary—and what it takes to get there. Drawing on interviews with these “superhumans” and those who have studied them, Hooper assesses the science and genetics of peak potential. His case studies are as inspirational as they are varied, highlighting feats of endurance, strength, intelligence, and memory. Superhuman is a fascinating, eye-opening, and inspiring celebration for anyone who ever felt that they might be able to do something extraordinary in life, for those who simply want to succeed, and for anyone interested in the sublime possibilities of humankind.

A charming, heartfelt tale of love lost and regained in a gated community in Savannah, Georgia.

After almost forty years in New Jersey, Catherine, Ralph, and their beloved Boston Terrier Karma are hitting the road, relocating to a gorgeous, serene island off the coast of Savannah, Georgia, where Catherine can work on her backhand and Ralph can hit the links. But upon their arrival in the Seven Oaks gated community, it becomes apparent that Catherine and Ralph's visions of retirement couldn't be more different. While Catherine is intrigued by their quirky neighbors, Ralph's golf-and-poker routine seems to be interrupted only by his flirtations with their zealous real estate agent.

As the pair drift further apart, Catherine cannot help but sense her marriage is at risk. Then, she meets recent widower Fred at the dog park. United by their dogs, they embark upon a friendship that could be something more--until she discovers that he's not quite what he seems. As she sorts out fact from fiction and discovers what sorts of secrets might be hiding behind Seven Oaks' pristine picket fences, she'll have to make a decision affecting her future happiness and her chance at newfound love.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * The second book in Diana Gabaldon's acclaimed Outlander saga, the basis for the Starz original series.

"A triumph! A powerful tale layered in history and myth. I loved every page."--Nora Roberts
 
With her classic novel Outlander, Diana Gabaldon introduced two unforgettable characters--Claire Randall and Jamie Fraser--delighting readers with a story of adventure and love that spanned two centuries. Now Gabaldon returns to that extraordinary time and place in this vivid, powerful sequel to Outlander.
 
For twenty years, Claire Randall has kept her secrets. But now she is returning with her grown daughter to the mysteries of Scotland's mist-shrouded Highlands. Here Claire plans to reveal a truth as shocking as the events that gave it birth: the secret of an ancient circle of standing stones, the secret of a love that transcends centuries, and the truth of a man named Jamie Fraser--a Highland warrior whose gallantry once drew the young Claire from the security of her century to the dangers of his.
 
Claire's spellbinding journey continues through the intrigue-ridden French court and the menace of Jacobite plots, to the Highlands of Scotland, through war and death in a desperate fight to save both the child and the man she loves.

Charlie "Tremendous" Jones

Whether you are a general inspiring your troops, a teacher educating a student, a father or mother lecturing your child, a salesperson making a point, a preacher moving your congregation or a speaker motivating an audience, there is nothing that can empower you more than a Tremendous quote.If you want to get their attention quickly and be remembered, begin with a Tremendous quote, end with a Tremendous quote, and season your remarks with Tremendous quotes.I began reading quotes thirty-five years ago and now my name is mentioned around the world because of my repeating a quote I read in a book written over one hundred years ago and heard repeated by Mac McMillen forty years ago:"You are the same today as you will be in five years except for two things: the people you meet and the books you read."A Tremednous quote never gets stale and it becomes more a part of you every time you quote it.Read and reread a few biographies. This will give you a greater appreciation for the quote becuase you know the life it came from. Two of my favorites are Abraham Lincoln and Oswald Chambers. Everything I say is flavored by their wisdom.Begin now to memorize a few Tremendous quotes. Repeat them to yourself aloud at every opportunity. Repeat them with feeling and enthusiasm. This will make a Tremens difference in you, and your listeners will reward you with attentive minds, hungry hearts and warm smiles.--- From the Introduction
