The Big Necessity
Summary
"One smart book...delving deep into the history and implications of a daily act that dare not speak its name." (Newsweek)
Acclaimed as "extraordinary" (The New York Times) and "a classic" (Los Angeles Times), The Big Necessity is on its way to removing the taboo on bodily waste - something common to all and as natural as breathing. We prefer not to talk about it, but we should - even those of us who take care of our business in pristine, sanitary conditions. Disease spread by waste kills more people worldwide every year than any other single cause of death. Even in America, nearly two million people have no access to an indoor toilet. Yet the subject remains unmentionable.
Moving from the underground sewers of Paris, London, and New York (an infrastructure disaster waiting to happen) to an Indian slum where ten toilets are shared by 60,000 people, The Big Necessity breaks the silence, revealing everything that matters about how people do - and don't - deal with their own waste. With razor-sharp wit and crusading urgency, mixing levity with gravity, Rose George has turned the subject we like to avoid into a cause with the most serious of consequences.

The Captains of Thor
Summary
Was it the captain's fault, as many said? Or did the company, the Coast Guard, and the American Bureau of Shipping all have a hand on the helm of the SS El Faro as she steered too close to Hurricane Joaquin? This is an examination of a tragedy that has been well-researched and investigated - heroically so at times - by the United States Coast Guard and the National Transportation Safety Board. Three very well-done books have been published. All of these efforts produced detailed recommendations and observations and all are publicly available. I commend them to you. My effort touches on the broad sweep and events of the tragedy and investigation, but if you want the detailed story of the final voyage of the ship, you’re better off with the other books. My main goal here is to show how the SS El Faro fit into a larger system and culture - one that I have been covering off and on as a journalist and author for 38 years. It’s this system, I feel, that will result in another SS El Faro someday unless it is reformed. Another note on style. My preference in non-fiction is “narrative.” In other words, whenever I can, I tell a story and show what is happening; I prefer that to “telling” the reader, because I think “showing” is more readily absorbed. Humans learn through stories. Storytelling rather than a lecture better illustrates the emotions at play here, as well as the moods, culture, and vibe of the ship and the industry. This does not mean I take a pure poetic license. The dialogue quoted here is real, not made up. The material is factual.

The Hunt for MH370
Summary
Somewhere deep beneath the wild seas of the southern Indian Ocean, perhaps in the eerie underwater canyons of Broken Ridge along the Seventh Arc satellite band, lies the answer to the world's greatest aviation mystery. Why, on the night of 8 March 2014, did Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 suddenly U-turn, zig-zag up the Straits of Malacca, then vanish with 239 souls on board? Was it an elaborate murder-suicide by a rogue pilot? A terrible accident such as onboard fire, rapid decompression or systems failure? A terrorist hijacking gone wrong? Or something else entirely? Award-winning journalist Ean Higgins has led the world media's coverage of this incredible saga and draws on years of interviews with aviation experts, victims' families, air crash investigators and professional hunters across land, sea and sky to dissect the riddle of MH370's fate.

Malaysia Airlines Flight 370
Summary
On March 8, 2014, Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 loaded 239 people onboard and took off for what should have been a six-hour flight. It never made it - and it's still missing. It's been a year since Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 vanished, and there's still no sign of the aircraft, its passengers, or its crew nor confirmation of what happened or where the aircraft resides. In this gripping investigation of the events that led to the plane's disappearance and why they could happen again, CNN aviation analyst David Soucie exposes the flaws in the aviation industry, shares what needs to be done so a plane doesn't go missing again, and uses a Bayesian analysis model to reveal what most likely happened onboard the plane that led to its downfall. Comprehensive in scope, personal and empathetic in voice, Soucie draws on his 30 years of experience as an accident investigator working with the Federal Aviation Administration. He allows you to put the wild speculation about the plane's disappearance aside and assess the facts through the eyes of an experienced accident investigator. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Scooters
Summary
Are you absolutely disgusted with the high price of gas and have you decided that enough is enough? Good! That means you finally may be ready to do something about it! Okay, okay. Hard talk makes us "feel" better for about a second or two. What can we really do about it? Truth be told there really isn't much any of us can do about the stranglehold that we are all caught in. Sadly, we have created this problem and there just isn't any easy way out. None of us actually have any sway whatsoever over what that barrel of gas is going cost tomorrow. However, there is something each of us can do to improve our own personal situation. So what's the big deal? Buy yourself a scooter! Huh? Yep, it's got to be the cheapest form of motorized transportation available and it runs for pennies compared to your SUV. Listen up. We aren't talking about dressing up in your old ragtag clothes. We aren't asking you to pour your middle-age body into a pair of leathers three sizes to small and sprouting a helmet that would make any Viking proud. Our friends across the pond probably can't quite figure out what we are screaming about. Visit many of our European friends and you'll find trim and colorful scooters in all shapes and sizes zipping all over the place. This may be an alternative form of transportation considering the current energy crunch. Do the math. What if you could adjust your behavior slightly to include driving a scooter to work and saving the SUV for the family and weekends? If you are "feeling the pain" at the gas pumps, this is a viable alternative. But first ask yourself if you are mad enough to take action. Are you ready to do something about it? If you are then it's time to do your homework.
