Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chanel finally found happiness. Real has come into her life and swept her off her feet. He proposed, and of course she said yes. Her career is taking off, and she is on cloud nine. When she finally starts her counseling to the community for men and women who dealt with abuse, depression, drugs and women who needed to just talk to someone, she never thought the person sitting across from her would make her feel as if she were replaceable in her own man’s life. Will she and Real make it down the aisle? Da’Sha finally told Benz what happened the night of her bachelorette party. She thought that telling him would clear her conscience and that they would move forward in their marriage. However, Benz doesn’t deal with the news well. He’s out for blood. Will he forgive her and move forward with their relationship, or will he end their marriage way before it even gets started? Angie thought telling RJ she was pregnant would be hard because he just started his job, but what was hard was for her to hear him asking if the baby was his, although the outcome isn’t enough to break them up. Though these couples seem to always bounce back and maintain their relationships, something aiming right at them will come and turn their whole world upside down.

Book excerpt: After World War II, the United States underwent a massive cultural transformation that was vividly realized in the development and widespread use of new medical technologies. Plastic surgery, wonder drugs, artificial organs, and prosthetics inspired Americans to believe in a new age of modern medical miracles. The nationalistic pride that flourished in postwar society, meanwhile, encouraged many Americans to put tremendous faith in the power of medicine to rehabilitate and otherwise transform the lives and bodies of the disabled and those considered abnormal. Replaceable You revisits this heady era in American history to consider how these medical technologies and procedures were used to advance the politics of conformity during the 1950s.

Mia’s true passion lies in her own podcast, devoted to debunking the occult and shining light on the truth. The daughter of a con-man father, Mia feels a moral responsibility to the truth, and to spare others from being conned. When Mia, at a crossroads, receives an invitation from a famous supernatural podcast inviting her to move to Salem and join their podcast as the skeptic-in-residence, Mia sees a chance to start her life over again and to pursue her life’s mission.

At the same time, Mia’s show must try to debunk a notoriously haunted house, now on the market for sale. Mia, unable to explain the phenomena, seems to have met her match—just as the real estate agent drops dead. Could this house be as insidious as it seems? Or might there be some other motive?

Book excerpt: 2017 The Association for the Studies of the Present Book Prize Finalist Mention, 2017 Lora Romero First Book Award Presented by the American Studies Association Winner of the 2012 CLAGS Fellowship Award for Best First Book Project in LGBT Studies How fantasy meets reality as popular culture evolves and ignites postwar gender, sexual, and race revolutions. In 1964, noted literary critic Leslie Fiedler described American youth as “new mutants,” social rebels severing their attachments to American culture to remake themselves in their own image. 1960s comic book creators, anticipating Fiedler, began to morph American superheroes from icons of nationalism and white masculinity into actual mutant outcasts, defined by their genetic difference from ordinary humanity. These powerful misfits and “freaks” soon came to embody the social and political aspirations of America’s most marginalized groups, including women, racial and sexual minorities, and the working classes. In The New Mutants, Ramzi Fawaz draws upon queer theory to tell the story of these monstrous fantasy figures and how they grapple with radical politics from Civil Rights and The New Left to Women’s and Gay Liberation Movements. Through a series of comic book case studies—including The Justice League of America, The Fantastic Four, The X-Men, and The New Mutants—alongside late 20th century fan writing, cultural criticism, and political documents, Fawaz reveals how the American superhero modeled new forms of social belonging that counterculture youth would embrace in the 1960s and after. The New Mutants provides the first full-length study to consider the relationship between comic book fantasy and radical politics in the modern United States.

Book excerpt: Trans seems to be everywhere in American culture. Yet there is little understanding of how this came about. Are people aware that there were earlier periods of gender flexibility and contestability in American history? How well known is it that a previous period of trans visibility in the 1960s and early 1970s faced a vehement backlash right at the time that trans, in the form of what was then termed transvestism and transsexuality, seemed to be so ascendant? Was there transness before transsexuality was named in the 1950s and transgender emerged in the 1990s? Barry Reay explores this history: from a time before trans in the nineteenth century to the transsexual moment of the 1960s and 1970s, the transgender turn of the 1990s, and the so-called tipping point of current culture. It is a rich and varied history, where same-sex desires and identities, cross-dressing, and transsexual and transgender identities jostled for recognition. It is a history that is not at all flattering to US psychiatric and surgical practices. Arguing for the complexity of a trans past and present, Trans America will be a groundbreaking work for the trans community, as well as anyone interested in the history of medicine, sexuality, psychology and psychiatry.

Intent on unraveling the cold case of her parents’ mysterious demise, Jett's return is marked by a chilling discovery: the bodies of Mayor Peabody and his panicked lover hidden under her guest bed. With the help of her best friend, police detective Gwen Stuart, and Sophia DeLuca, her live-in dog nanny with mafia ties, Jett finds herself embroiled in a perilous investigation. Escalating violence—a bombed dive boat at her parents’ underwater crash site, a car explosion, and a thwarted attack by an armed intruder, all point to an adversary determined to keep lethal secrets buried. As they delve deeper, the trio confronts a conspiracy that threatens not only to silence them forever, but also to shatter the serene facade of Banyan Isle. Book 2 – Dropped Dead The serene life of apprentice private detective Jett Jorgensen is disrupted by a series of grim events on Banyan Isle, Florida. Working toward establishing her Valkyrie Private Detective Agency, Jett had hoped for an influx of clients, not corpses with their feet encased in concrete. As if the startling arrival of dead bodies at her doorstep wasn't alarming enough, the appearance of five king cobras on her estate raises the stakes further. Jett's situation is complicated by Mona Wang, a new associate harboring a lethal secret that threatens everyone involved. The situation spirals out of control with the kidnapping of Jett's dog nanny, prompting Jett to enlist the help of ex-SEALs. However, the danger hits closer to home when Jett herself is kidnapped, teetering on the brink of becoming the next victim in a chilling chain of events. Book 3 – Dead Ends Jett hosts a Mystery Fest at her Valhalla Castle, attracting mystery enthusiasts worldwide. The event quickly turns sinister when a British MP is found murdered, initiating a series of deadly events that plunge the gathering into chaos. Amidst the opulence, a séance led by renowned author Lady Amelia Ainsworth uncovers disturbing secrets, casting suspicion on the distinguished guests. As the body count rises, Jett, equipped with her keen intuition and a connection to the spirit world, is forced to navigate a complex maze of deceit to uncover the killer. Publisher’s Note: The Jettine Jorgensen Mystery Box Set features the first three books in a series of suspenseful mysteries with baffling crimes that lead three female sleuths to surprising discoveries and shocking resolutions.

The Jettine Jorgensen Mystery Series Dead Silent Dropped Dead Dead Ends Dead Reckoning About the Author: A trailblazer in aviation, Sharon shattered the glass ceiling as US Airways' first female pilot new hire in 1980, a time when women pilots constituted less than 0.5% of the global total. Her peers dubbed her "Bombshell," a testament to her standout presence in a male-dominated field. Sharon skillfully piloted an array of aircraft, including Boeing 727s and 737s, DC-9s, and BAC 1-11s, ascending to the rank of captain in just seven years. Her journey into aviation was preceded by a glamorous stint as a water-sports and boating model, followed by globetrotting adventures as a flight attendant for Pan American World Airways. Sharon's passion for flying extends to piloting antique and experimental aircraft, as well as third-world fighter airplanes.

Book excerpt: Based on the psychological tenet that it takes twenty-one days for a new behavior to become a habit, Erik Rees presents twenty-one daily principles for reminding readers of their individual importance. “Make your life count.” These four simple words spoken at the funeral of a four-month-old child haunted the author, hitting him like a ton of bricks and causing him to wonder if he was making his own life count. Contemplating what kind of legacy he would leave, he wondered if there was anything about the present course his life was taking that would make a difference to anyone in the years to come. Furthermore, it hit him that these are the same thoughts most men and women ponder. This challenged him to write this book focusing on principles that would help people’s lives make an impact. By the time many people reach adulthood, they carry so much baggage that the weight of it distracts them from maximizing life and leaves them feeling insignificant for not doing much beyond surviving. The book suggests that there are three great choices that affect every aspect of our lives. These “life choices” relate to who we surrender our life to, how we steward our unique gifts, and the choices we make to help others. Learning to make the best choices in these three areas will influence every aspect of life, and will resolve the “why am I here” questions. Only You Can Be You does not offer simplistic choices, which are quickly dismissed because they do not deal with reality, but instead it shows that sometimes life’s decisions require deep courage and strength. The book strongly affirms that you can make the right choices and that when you do, you will ultimately find significance. The message of the author is that by making the best possible life choices, readers will not only find genuine happiness and purpose, but they will also leave a legacy that really makes a difference.

Book excerpt: From the creator of the popular website Ask a Manager and New York’s work-advice columnist comes a witty, practical guide to 200 difficult professional conversations—featuring all-new advice! There’s a reason Alison Green has been called “the Dear Abby of the work world.” Ten years as a workplace-advice columnist have taught her that people avoid awkward conversations in the office because they simply don’t know what to say. Thankfully, Green does—and in this incredibly helpful book, she tackles the tough discussions you may need to have during your career. You’ll learn what to say when • coworkers push their work on you—then take credit for it • you accidentally trash-talk someone in an email then hit “reply all” • you’re being micromanaged—or not being managed at all • you catch a colleague in a lie • your boss seems unhappy with your work • your cubemate’s loud speakerphone is making you homicidal • you got drunk at the holiday party Praise for Ask a Manager “A must-read for anyone who works . . . [Alison Green’s] advice boils down to the idea that you should be professional (even when others are not) and that communicating in a straightforward manner with candor and kindness will get you far, no matter where you work.”—Booklist (starred review) “The author’s friendly, warm, no-nonsense writing is a pleasure to read, and her advice can be widely applied to relationships in all areas of readers’ lives. Ideal for anyone new to the job market or new to management, or anyone hoping to improve their work experience.”—Library Journal (starred review) “I am a huge fan of Alison Green’s Ask a Manager column. This book is even better. It teaches us how to deal with many of the most vexing big and little problems in our workplaces—and to do so with grace, confidence, and a sense of humor.”—Robert Sutton, Stanford professor and author of The No Asshole Rule and The Asshole Survival Guide “Ask a Manager is the ultimate playbook for navigating the traditional workforce in a diplomatic but firm way.”—Erin Lowry, author of Broke Millennial: Stop Scraping By and Get Your Financial Life Together

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Your prince charming will come one day. He may not ride a white horse or live in a big castle, but he will love you and only you. That was life for 29-year-old Monae, until one year into her relationship with her boyfriend Isaiah when she deals with verbal and physical abuse. As a victim of domestic violence, Monae lives in a constant state of alertness and anticipation, waiting for the next attack to occur. Every time she thinks she’s had enough, she would get charmed right back under his spell. That is until she starts cleaning for Coop, an infamous dope boy who sees all the signs of abuse she so desperately tries to hide. Coop tries his best to save Monae, but the question he has to ask himself is, does she really want to be saved? Coop Fields, a true dope boy at heart, grew up in South Bronx and built his empire from the ground up. He’s labeled a drug lord, and although he has a legal business, it doesn’t change the label behind his name. Being an important person, he doesn’t have time to clean his spacious home, so he hires Monae who is recommended by a good friend of his to clean for him. The more Monae comes around, the more Coop becomes attracted to her, and even though they hardly ever hold a conversation, he thinks she is someone worth building with. When he learns of her relationship status, that doesn’t detour his mind, it just makes him want her even more. When he starts to notice more about her, he knows he has to save her, but that’s easier said than done. Isaiah will do whatever to keep Monae under him, even if it means killing the people around her. Will Coop be able to set her free before it’s too late? Or will he lose his life trying to save hers?

Book excerpt: Making Disability Modern: Design Histories brings together leading scholars from a range of disciplinary and national perspectives to examine how designed objects and spaces contributes to the meanings of ability and disability from the late 18th century to the present day, and in homes, offices, and schools to realms of national and international politics. The contributors reveal the social role of objects - particularly those designed for use by people with disabilities, such as walking sticks, wheelchairs, and prosthetic limbs - and consider the active role that makers, users and designers take to reshape the material environment into a usable world. But it also aims to make clear that definitions of disability-and ability-are often shaped by design.

Book excerpt: **The Instant National Bestseller** The standout memoir from NBA powerhouse Andre Iguodala, the indomitable sixth man of the Golden State Warriors. Andre Iguodala is one of the most admired players in the NBA. And fresh off the Warriors’ fifth Finals appearance in five years, his game has never been stronger. Off the court, Iguodala has earned respect, too—for his successful tech investments, his philanthropy, and increasingly for his contributions to the conversation about race in America. It is no surprise, then, that in his first book, Andre, with his cowriter Carvell Wallace, has pushed himself to go further than he ever has before about his life, not only as an athlete but about what makes him who he is at his core. The Sixth Man traces Andre’s journey from childhood in his Illinois hometown to his Bay Area home court today. Basketball has always been there. But this is the story, too, of his experience of the conflict and racial tension always at hand in a professional league made up largely of African American men; of whether and why the athlete owes the total sacrifice of his body; of the relationship between competition and brotherhood among the players of one of history’s most glorious championship teams. And of what motivates an athlete to keep striving for more once they’ve already achieved the highest level of play they could have dreamed. On drive, on leadership, on pain, on accomplishment, on the shame of being given a role, and the glory of taking a role on: This is a powerful memoir of life and basketball that reveals new depths to the superstar athlete, and offers tremendous insight into most urgent stories being told in American society today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1950s, more than 100,000 Korean children have been adopted by predominantly white Americans; they were orphans of the Korean War, or so the story went. But begin the story earlier, as SooJin Pate does, and what has long been viewed as humanitarian rescue reveals itself as an exercise in expanding American empire during the Cold War. Transnational adoption was virtually nonexistent in Korea until U.S. military intervention in the 1940s. Currently it generates $35 million in revenue—an economic miracle for South Korea and a social and political boon for the United States. Rather than focusing on the families “made whole” by these adoptions, this book identifies U.S. militarism as the condition by which displaced babies became orphans, some of whom were groomed into desirable adoptees, normalized for American audiences, and detached from their past and culture. Using archival research, film, and literary materials—including the cultural work of adoptees—Pate explores the various ways in which Korean children were employed by the U.S. nation-state to promote the myth of American exceptionalism, to expand U.S. empire during the burgeoning Cold War, and to solidify notions of the American family. In From Orphan to Adoptee we finally see how Korean adoption became the crucible in which technologies of the U.S. empire were invented and honed.
