New Non-Fiction

For the dinosaur curious, we have a several titles from a new series called The Dinosaur Library. These books examine the newest theories about the dinosaurs - what the looked like, how they lived and died. There is a glossary in each book and the bibliographical references include Internet addresses of recommended websites. There are also many drawings, charts, and photographs of fossil remains. A lot of information packed into a 112 page book! Check out the series on the Lakeview I.P.A.C.

From dinosaurs to Americans at war, our next new series covers a number of wars in which Americans participated from the American Revolution through the Persian Gulf War. Each war is its own series with several books looking at different aspects of that war. Most of the series include a book entitled Life of an American Soldier which looks at the daily routine and living conditions for soldiers in that war. Some of the series include a book that looks at life on the home front. Other titles in the individual war series depend upon the nature of that particular war. You can find out what books we have in what wars by using the Lakeview I.P.A.C. for a series search of American War Library.
