| Synopsis: |
Although the Mafia may take it omerta (code of silence) seriously, 101 Things You Didnt Know About the Mafia spills the beans. From what it really means to become a "made man," to why an unfortunate fellow could find himself saddled with cement shoes, this entertaining book dishes out the dirt! Readers learn about Dutch Schultz's spiritual streak, Al Capone's crime fighting brother, Frank Sinatra's bid to star in The Godfather, and more. |

Franklin
In 1845 Captain Sir John Franklin led a large, well equipped expedition to complete the conquest of the Canadian Arctic, to find the fabled North West Passage connecting the North Atlantic to the North Pacific. Yet Franklin, his ships and men were fated never to return. Why did this outstanding scientific navigator find his ships trapped in pack ice seventy miles from magnetic north? In this riveting story of the Arctic, Andrew Lambert discovers a new Franklin: a character far more complex, and more truly heroic, than previous histories have allowed.
