A heartfelt debut about a bird-obsessed boy whose own family's unusual nest is in danger of falling apart and the lengths he goes to bring his loved ones back together again. Axel would like to be an eagle, his favorite bird. Nobody tells an eagle what to do or makes them behave like conformist pigeons, the bird Axel's mother seems to want. She tests Axel on his social-skills and worries whenever he wanders beyond the barn next door. Still, he knows his mother is an osprey deep down--they're the finest mothers of all the birds. His dad, Frank, is a wild turkey who ran off five months ago and hasn't shown up for weekend visits since. Axel doesn't understand his father's absence, but he busies himself reading the Encyclopedia of Birds and observing the eagle's nest in the nearby woods. When a tornado hits, seriously damaging Axel's house, Frank reappears to help with repairs. Axel isn't happy about Frank's reappearance and he doesn't understand why his mom insists Axel give Frank a chanc

From Martin Dugard, the #1 New York Times bestselling coauthor of Bill O'Reilly's Killing series―with more than 12 million copies sold―comes a thrilling account of the World War II Allied liberation of Paris from the grip of the NazisAugust 1944: After two months of combat and slaughter in the wake of D-Day, Hitler's troops have managed to avoid annihilation. Countless German soldiers retreat from Normandy, sweeping a path of violence back to Nazi-occupied Paris. There, they expect to make a last stand, ready to destroy the ancient city rather than see it fall from Hitler's grasp. The Allies have a clear path toward Germany. General Eisenhower intends to bypass the city, fearing that overseeing its four million inhabitants will place an unnecessary burden on his supply lines. He knows that seizing Paris, instead of pressing the immediate advantage toward the German heartland, is a mistake. But Paris, a symbol of the liberty the Allies hold so dear, is different. Over 120,000 Parisians

THE UNTOLD TECH STORY OF OUR TIME What does it mean to be smart? To be human? What do we really want from life and the intelligence we have, or might create? With deep and exclusive reporting, across hundreds of interviews, New York Times Silicon Valley journalist Cade Metz brings you into the rooms where these questions are being answered. Where an extraordinarily powerful new artificial intelligence has been built into our biggest companies, our social discourse, and our daily lives, with few of us even noticing. Long dismissed as a technology of the distant future, artificial intelligence was a project consigned to the fringes of the scientific community. Then two researchers changed everything. One was a sixty-four-year-old computer science professor who didn't drive and didn't fly because he could no longer sit down--but still made his way across North America for the moment that would define a new age of technology. The other was a thirty-six-year-old neuroscientist and chess pro
