Synopsis

"Beacons of Hope" explores the captivating story of lighthouses, those towering sentinels of the sea that have guided ships and saved lives for centuries. Beyond their practical function, these structures embody human ingenuity, hope, and resilience.

 
The book examines how lighthouses evolved architecturally, from simple bonfires to sophisticated structures equipped with Fresnel lens systems, which could project light across vast distances, and how integral they were to maritime trade, reducing shipwrecks and connecting the world through safer navigation.

 
The narrative progresses from the earliest navigational aids to the lives of the dedicated lighthouse keepers and their families, often living in isolated conditions. It delves into the cultural impact of lighthouses, showcasing their representation in art, literature, and popular culture, solidifying their status as enduring symbols.

 
By drawing upon historical records, architectural plans, and personal accounts, "Beacons of Hope" offers a comprehensive and interdisciplinary perspective, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in architecture, maritime history, or the intersection of human endeavor and cultural symbolism.

    In this bold and intimate semi-autobiographical novel, La Maison, Emma Becker transports the reader behind the closed doors of a Berlin brothel, where she worked for two years not only to earn a living, but to immerse herself in a world she wanted to understand – and to write about with unflinching honesty. What emerges is a deeply personal, unsentimental, and often surprising account of life inside the brothel, where Becker explores not just the physical aspects of sex work, but the emotional, psychological, and social complexities that shape it.
    With frankness and literary insight, she recounts her encounters with clients, her growing self-awareness, and, most poignantly, the friendships and solidarity she finds among the other women who work there. Far from reducing sex work to cliché or voyeurism, Becker gives space to the quiet routines, shared laughter, private pain, and hard-won dignity of a profession often misunderstood and rarely written about from the inside.
    Part memoir, part sociological study, and wholly literary, La Maison challenges preconceptions about sex, agency, and femininity, offering a provocative and compassionate exploration of what it means to inhabit multiple identities—as worker, writer, woman, and witness.

    This program is read by the author.“My Side of the River is both fierce and poetic. It brilliantly reframes border writing while embracing nature and familial history. There are moments one sees greatness appear. This is one of those moments.” —Luis Alberto Urrea, New York Times bestselling author of Good Night, Irene  Elizabeth Camarillo Gutierrez reveals her experience as the U.S. born daughter of immigrants and what happened when, at fifteen, her parents were forced back to Mexico in this galvanizing yet tender memoir.Born to Mexican immigrants south of the Rillito River in Tucson, Arizona, Elizabeth had the world at her fingertips. She was preparing to enter her freshman year of high school as the number one student when suddenly, her own country took away the most important right a child has: the right to have a family. When her parents’ visas expired and they were forced to return to Mexico, Elizabeth was left responsible for her younger brother, as well as her education. Determined to break the cycle of being a “statistic,” she knew that even though her parents couldn’t stay, there was no way she could let go of the opportunities the U.S. could provide. Armed with only her passport and sheer teenage determination, Elizabeth became what her school would eventually describe as an unaccompanied homeless youth, one of thousands of underage victims affected by family separation due to broken immigration laws. For fans of Educated by Tara Westover and The Distance Between Us by Reyna Grande, My Side of the River explores separation, generational trauma, and the toll of the American dream. It’s also, at its core, a love story between a brother and a sister who, no matter the cost, is determined to make the pursuit of her brother’s dreams easier than it was for her.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.

    From an Olympic gold medal–winning coach, a new playbook for effective athlete education and team building 
     
     
     
    Championship results require championship behaviors—it's as simple as that. In this essential book, Hugh McCutcheon provides a proven framework for competitive excellence based in motor learning, psychology, and decades of coaching experience and success. 
     
     
     
    Championship Behaviors provides athletes, parents of athletes, and coaches a defined path to the "how" of significant achievement while simply and clearly explaining the research behind the "why." McCutcheon speaks to the need for aspiring athletes to work, learn, and compete and the responsibility coaches have to teach, coach, and mentor. As he says, "We won't always have five-star talent, but we can often make up the difference by being five-star teachers, learners, and competitors." 
     
     
     
    A sought-after coach and consultant, McCutcheon also illuminates the value of integrating the physical, mental, and social aspects of sport to maximize chances of competitive success.
