"This collection of photographs is at once beautiful and haunting. It captures the unique mood of this small but fabled rock anchored off of that small but fabled city of San Francisco. Anyone who knows of the legend of Alcatraz will want this book." Gray Brechin, historical geographer and author of Farewell, Promised Land and Imperial San Francisco "The photographers were not just tourists to 'the Rock.' Their unique access enabled them to become participants in an evolving history and address the experience of over two hundred years of human occupation on this fascinating island." Mark Klett, photographer, After the Ruins, 1906 and 2006: Rephotographing the San Francisco Earthquake and Fire

Sleuthing duo Emily and James tackle their most challenging mystery yet set on the haunting Alcatraz Island in Book 3 of the New York Times bestselling Book Scavenger series! Legendary literary game-maker Garrison Griswold is back in action—this time with “Unlock the Rock.” For his latest game, Griswold has partnered with the famous--and famously reclusive--mystery writer Errol Roy to plan an epic escape room challenge on Alcatraz Island. Emily and James are eager to participate, but the wave of fame they are riding from their recent book-hunting adventures makes them a target. Threatening notes, missing items, and an accident that might not have been an accident have the duo worried that someone is trying to get them out of the game at any cost. When Emily’s brother is caught red-handed and blamed for all the wrong doings, Emily is certain Matthew is being framed. With Matthew’s record on the line, Emily and James can’t afford to leave this mystery uncracked. Christy Ottaviano Books

After three years in the U.S. Army, Paul Jones acquired a B.S. in Mining Engineering at the South Dakota School of Mines & Technology. His fifty year career was devoted to mine exploration and the management of producing mines and mills with two million miles of travel in the U.S. and a dozen foreign countries. At two New Mexico uranium mines, his management yielded the highest productivity in the district. In Honduras, he regained control of a collapsing silver mine that killed the former manager. In Nicaragua, he reopened a gold mine that defied the efforts of former managers. However, he barely escaped armed men chasing him and the gold. During a period of intense violence in El Salvador, he maintained the security of explosives and shipments of a million dollars gold per month. A Registered Professional Geologist, he developed and sold on six continents an exploration tool that detected many new mines including a multi-billion dollar deposit that generated a major portion of the tax revenues for Jefferson County, Montana for twenty years.

#1 New York Times bestselling author of the Mistborn series Brandon Sanderson continues the epic adventure he began in Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians So now you’ve read all about me, Alcatraz Smedry, and how I was swept out of my life in your normal world and into the fight against the Librarians (jerks!). After being all heroic and stuff in that tale, I didn’t expect to charge headlong into enemy territory: the Library of Alexandria, where I—and my grandpa and my grouchy bodyguard Bastille and her even grouchier mother and some weirdly gifted cousins—would face the Curators (ghosts who will gladly help you check out a book as long as you don’t mind giving up your mortal soul) and some new nasty Librarians who hate our guts...and would be happy to rip them out for us. But none of that comes close to the horror we would have to face if we succeeded in finding what we were searching for... MY DAD! (DUN DUN DUNNNNNN!) The Scrivener's Bones is the second book in this action-packed fantasy series for young readers. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
