<title><![CDATA[The Art of War]]></title>
<link>http://www.indiebound.org/book/9781570629044</link>
<description><![CDATA[Previous translations of  The Art of War  have presented Sun Tzu's classic from the point of view of military strategy, Chinese history, or Taoist philosophy. This translation—accompanied by the translators' in-depth essays and illuminating line-by-line commentary—offers a fresh perspective on this ancient Chinese text. Here, Sun Tzu's strategic principles of warfare (based as they were on the fundamental insights of the Chinese spiritual and philosophical tradition) are seen as universally relevant—the foundation for personal transformation and the creation of an enlightened society.  In this translation of  The Art of War , Sun Tzu's teachings are revealed in an entirely new light.      •  War is any situation that demands hard choices about creation and destruction, life or death.    •  The state is the system in which we live—our household, our culture or society, or our own mind.    •  Defense ensures the integrity of our boundaries and allows life to flourish within them.    •  Force is the energy of concentrated action.    •  Victory lies in bringing others around to embracing a larger view—one that includes their own—without ever going to battle.]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[The Final Warning]]></title>
<link>http://www.indiebound.org/book/9780316002868</link>
<description><![CDATA["Three cheers!  Max is one of the smartest, strongest, funniest heroines around." - Diane Garrett, Diane's BooksIn this breathtaking new story from the astonishing imagination of James Patterson, a girl has to save herself from an army assembled just to capture her-and maybe save the planet while she's at it.Maximum Ride is a perfectly normal teenager who just happens to be able to fly, the result of an out-of-control government experiment.  Max and the other members of the Flock-six kids who share her remarkable ability-have been asked to aid a group of environmental scientists studying the causes of global warming.  The expedition seems like a perfect combination of adventure, activism-and escaping government forces who watch the Flock like a hawk.But even in Antarctica, trapped in the harshest weather on our planet, Maximum Ride is an irresistible target in constant danger.  For whoever controls her powers could also control the world . . . Maximum Ride is James Patterson's greatest character, a heroine who manages to be human and fearless at once.  THE FINAL WARNING is an unrelenting new adventure from the writer Time magazine has called "The Man Who Can't Miss."A JAMES PATTERSON FAMILY PAGETURNERIn the spirit of the most enduring hit movies and books, James Patterson has written this story for readers from ten to a hundred and ten.  Special care has been taken with the language and content of THE FINAL WARNING.]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Maximum Ride]]></title>
<link>http://www.indiebound.org/book/9780316067959</link>
<description><![CDATA[In James Patterson's blockbuster series, fourteen-year-old Maximum Ride, better known as Max, knows what it's like to soar above the world. She and all the members of the "flock"--Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gasman and Angel--are just like ordinary kids--only they have wings and can fly. It may seem like a dream come true to some, but their lives can morph into a living nightmare at any time...like when Angel, the youngest member of the flock, is kidnapped and taken back to the "School" where she and the others were experimented on by a crew of wack jobs. Her friends brave a journey to blazing hot Death Valley, CA, to save Angel, but soon enough, they find themselves in yet another nightmare--this one involving fighting off the half-human, half-wolf "Erasers" in New York City. Whether in the treetops of Central Park or in the bowels of the Manhattan subway system, Max and her adopted family take the ride of their lives. Along the way Max discovers from her old friend and father-figure Jeb--now her betrayed and greatest enemy--that her purpose is save the world--but can she?]]></description>

It seems like a dream come true--except that they're being hunted by  half-human, half-wolf  "Erasers" who can fly, too. In Book 2 of the series, the Flock members are taken under the wing of an FBI agent and try to live "normal" lives by going to school, making friends--and continuing their relentless search for their parents. But the Erasers return, forcing the Flock to abandon their search and make their escape once again. The voice inside Max's head keeps telling her that it's up to her to save the world, but this is especially challenging to do when she is faced with her ultimate match:  a newer and better version of herself, Maximum Ride II. Max's heart-stopping quest to investigate the mind-blowing mystery of her ultimate destiny continues in the scariest, strangest, and funniest James Patterson novel yet.]]></description>
