  When Brian Dowling and Arthur Gourounlian announced they were expecting their first child, with Brian's sister Aoife acting as their surrogate, it felt like their family dream was finally coming true. Their daughter, Blake, was born in September 2022, but their happily-ever-after has not been without its troubles.
  Now Brian and Arthur detail their crazy journeys and the sliding-doors moments that brought them together to create a family of their own. Following Arthur's journey to escape war-torn Armenia and Brian's path to self-acceptance after being catapulted into the spotlight as a young gay man in the early noughties, and the sudden death of his mother, this is a story of the pain that life can sometimes bring, but ultimately it is a story about love in all its many magical forms.
  From births to marriages to deaths, and everything in between, this heartfelt memoir brings Arthur and Brian's positive and inspiring attitude to the page.

  Over the course of her sixty-five-year career, the longest of any female filmmaker, Agnès Varda (1928–2019) wrote and directed some of the most acclaimed films of her era, from her tour de force Cléo from 5 to 7 (1962), a classic of modernist cinema, to the beloved documentary The Gleaners and I (2000) four decades later. She helped to define the French New Wave, inspired an entire generation of filmmakers, and was recognized with major awards at the Cannes, Berlin, and Venice Film Festivals, as well as an honorary Oscar at the Academy Awards. 
   
   
   
  In this lively biography, Carrie Rickey explores the "complicated passions" that informed Varda's charmed life and indelible work. Rickey traces Varda's three remarkable careers—as still photographer, as filmmaker, and as installation artist. She explains how Varda was a pioneer in blurring the lines between documentary and fiction, using the latest digital technology and carving a path for women in the movie industry. She demonstrates how Varda was years ahead of her time in addressing sexism, abortion, labor exploitation, immigrant rights, and race relations with candor and incisiveness. And she delves into Varda's incredibly rich social life with figures such as Harrison Ford, Jean-Luc Godard, Jim Morrison, Susan Sontag, and Andy Warhol, and her nearly forty-year marriage to the celebrated director Jacques Demy.

  Marilyn Fayre Milos was a nursing student on the obstetrical unit in 1979 when she first witnessed a baby being circumcised. The only person to step forward to comfort the infant as it writhed and screamed in pain during the surgery, she was shocked when the doctor said to her: “There is no medical reason for doing this.” From that moment on, Marilyn became an advocate for ending medically unnecessary circumcision, protecting our children, and educating parents, the public, and medical professionals about this cultural fraud and violation of human rights. She founded the National Organization of Circumcision Information Resource Centers (NOCIRC); organized fifteen international symposia; and became a spokesperson for promoting the genital integrity of all children. A story of determination, service, and love, Marilyn’s memoir describes the myths, misinformation, and economic forces driving nonreligious infant circumcision in the United States, where it has become standard practice. Listeners may find their own beliefs and assumptions challenged, and their hearts touched by this story of a life devoted to justice for babies and the adults they will become.

  Fbi's Fighting And Political...

  Roberts R. Kevin

  What most Americans see is a single federal agency enforcing the law. What many inside experience is far more divided.
   
  This book is a firsthand account of life inside the Bureau during a period of growing internal conflict—where dedication to public safety clashed with shifting priorities, political pressure, and decisions that placed agents at risk. Through real experiences and documented events, a former agent reveals how the mission began to change from within.
   
  The story begins with service—training, teamwork, and the belief that the law must be applied fairly. It moves into the realities of investigating violent crime, where preparation and support are essential. As cases unfold, troubling patterns emerge: uneven enforcement, shifting standards, and leadership decisions shaped more by perception than threat.
   
  At its core is a divide within the agency. On one side are agents committed to evidence, safety, and the Bureau’s original purpose. On the other are decisions influenced by politics and internal pressure, often at the expense of those on the ground.
   
  This account does not rely on speculation. It draws from lived experience and operational realities, showing how dangerous missions were approved without adequate support, how accountability became uneven, and how speaking up carried consequences.
   
  Beyond operations, it is also a human story—examining the emotional toll of violent crime, the strain of internal conflict, and the role of conscience when loyalty and integrity no longer align.
   
  FBI’s Fighting and Political Agendas is not an attack on law enforcement, but an examination of what happens when an institution loses alignment between its values and actions—and why restoring that balance matters for those who serve and the public they protect.
   
  This is a true account of duty under pressure, internal division, and the consequences of an agency turned inward.
