When defense lawyer Andy Carpenter's veterinarian asks to speak to him privately at the checkup of his golden retriever, Tara, the last thing Andy expects is Truman. Tiny, healthy, French bulldog Truman was dropped off days ago with instructions to be euthanized by a man everyone thought was his owner. But now the owner is nowhere to be found. Andy is furious. Who would want to euthanize a perfectly healthy dog with no explanation? He is willing to whisk Truman away to the Tara Foundation, the dog-rescue organization which is Andy's true passion. They will find a home for Truman. But that's not all the vet tells Andy. Thanks to Truman's chip, it's discovered that the man wasn't Truman's owner at all . . . Truman's real owner has been murdered. It's now up to Andy - with help from his loyal sidekick Tara, Truman and the rest of the gang - to solve this case. In the latest in the popular Andy Carpenter mystery series, David Rosenfelt's charmingly clever wit and love of dogs are back and better than ever.

With hardly a day without a water-crisis story somewhere, Let There Be Water offers prescriptions on how countries, cities, and businesses can avoid the worst of it. With sixty percent of the country in a desert and despite a rapidly growing population, Israel has been jumping ahead of the water-innovation curve for decades. Israel's national unity and economic vitality are, in part, the result of a culture and consciousness that understands the central role of water in building a dynamic, thriving society. By boldly thinking about water, Israel has transformed the normally change-averse, water-greedy world of agriculture with innovations like drip irrigation, creation of smart seeds for drought-friendly plants, and careful reuse of highly treated waste-water. Israel has also played a leading role in the emerging desalination revolution. Beyond securing its own water supply, Israel has also created a high-export industry in water technology, a timely example of how countries can build their economies while making the world better. Built on meticulous research and hundreds of interviews with both world leaders and experts in the field, Let There Be Water tells the inspiring story of how this all came to be.

Super Shred is a more intense, concentrated, shorter program that shares the system and principles of the No. 1 bestseller Shred. At four weeks, it's about half the length of Shred and twice the intensity. There's always a customer looking for a diet who not only wants but must have faster, more dramatic results right away. All the same building blocks that have made Shred work for dieters are here: "diet confusion", meal replacement, frequent meals and snacks throughout the day to keep metabolism stoked and to keep dieters from feeling hungry or deprived. SuperShred is "destination dieting" at its best, a plan specifically designed for the impatient or the short-term goaloriented who may need to get as lean as possible as fast as possible for a date, an event, or a spring vacation. It's also for those who have had success on Shred (or any other diet) but who need a quick refresher weight loss course, or to go faster, for a four week cycle. It can be used on its own or in conjunction with Shred. Dr. Ian's Shred absolutes: SuperShred features regular grocery store food, definite marching orders, and an author who connects to his fans via national mainstream media, social media, his Shredder Nation diet cells across the country.
