|  | Tuesdays with Morrie by Catherine Coulter, Mitch Albom
In TUESDAYS WITH MORRIE, sportswriter and best-selling author Mitch Albom chronicles his weekly conversations with his former college professor and mentor, Morrie Schwartz, in the months before the Brandeis University sociologist succumbed to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig`s disease. Their Tuesday conversations ranged widely over basic human concerns--love, money, commitment, spirit, how people spend their days thinking and doing, and what really matters in the world. In what the publisher is calling spirituality literature for grown-ups, the author recounts his mentor`s final, lasting gift: the wisdom to see his own life as something different than the accretion of fame, money, and success.

 | A Thread Across the Ocean by John Steele Gordon
The cable was the brainchild and consuming passion of American businessman Cyrus Field, only thirty-three when he first set out to raise the necessary capital, and it attracted a range of luminaries, among them William Thomson (Lord Kelvin) the greatest applied physicist of the century and scientific adviser to the project, and the great English engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel, whose ship, the Great Eastern-five times the size of any other ship afloat at the time-carried the entire cable on the final attempt in 1866. Thirty-four years after the cable was laid, the American century began; while the cable did not make this inevitable, it did make it possible. By bringing to life an overlooked story in the annals of technology, John Steele Gordon sheds fascinating new light on the American saga. AUTHOR: John Steele Gordon
