The Land of Painted Caves

by Jean Auel


What began 30 years ago with Auel's best-sellerLand of Painted CavesThe Clan of the Cave Bear (1980), namely the phenomenally popular Ice Age-era Earth's Children series, comes to an end in the sixth installment. Now a wife and mother, Ayla lives among the Zelandoni, the people of her mate, Jondalar, but she hasn't forgotten the ways of the people who raised her. Ayla is training to become a spiritual leader, and her devotion to this calling takes its toll on her union with Jondalar... The millions of readers who have been with Ayla from the start will want to once again lose themselves in the rich prehistoric world Auel conjures and see how this internationally beloved series concludes.

Unfamiliar Fishes
by Sarah Vowell


Recounting the brief, remarkable history of a Unfamiliar Fishesunified and independent Hawaii, Vowell, a public radio star and bestselling author (The Wordy Shipmates), retraces the impact of New England missionaries who began arriving in the early 1800s to remake the island paradise into a version of New England... Outrageous and wise-cracking, educational but never dry, this book is a thought-provoking and entertaining glimpse into the U.S.'s most unusual state and its unanticipated twists on the familiar story of Americanization.
