  "Tuning In is an affirmation of facing and conquering life’s challenges through the power of connection, creativity, and glorious music." — Michele Flannery, KPFA music director emerita 
  This is an inspiring memoir about a young woman who, abandoned by her father and then her mother, must become an adult at a very young age and deal with her teenage pregnancy. Growing up shy and poor in wealthy Palo Alto, her strength comes from the precious time she spends with her Irish grandmother who follows the old ways in the deep southwest. 
  Follow Sandy’s journey of self-discovery as she puts herself thorough college, finds work at a nascent Apple Computer in Silicon Valley, and then has a life-changing experience at Esalen at age 43. 
  Going on to become a beloved international public radio broadcaster, she embodies courage, imagination, and self-invention, never giving up on her vision of creating a better life for herself and those around her. An honest, moving story of loss, grief, endurance, joy, and creativity, told with an undeniably contagious sense of humor and hope. This down-to-earth and extraordinary journey to wholeness shines a light for struggling artists and creative seekers of all backgrounds.

  In 1980, Jerry A. formed Poison Idea, a Portland-based punk band that gave voice to disaffected and disenfranchised youth for over thirty years. As happened to so many punk bands, Jerry A. and Poison Idea also went all in on drugs and drinking as they toured the country, spiraling out of control and blowing both the band and their lives apart. 
   
   
   
  Black Heart Fades Blue is not an apology or a nostalgic catalog of events, but a true reckoning with one's past and present. A memoir of a time and a place and a movement, as well as a deep conversation about the memories and moments we leave behind, Black Heart Fades Blue is a deep exploration of an unconventional life.

  Ngā Kete Mātauranga - Māori...

  In this beautiful and transformative book, 24 Māori academics share their personal journeys, revealing what being Māori has meant for them in their work. Their perspectives provide insight for all New Zealanders into how mātauranga is positively influencing the Western-dominated disciplines of knowledge in the research sector. It is a shameful fact, says co-editor Jacinta Ruru in her introduction to Nga Kete Mātauranga, that in 2020, only about 5 percent of academic staff at universities in Aotearoa New Zealand are Māori. Tertiary institutions have for the most part been hostile places for Indigenous students and staff, and this book is an important call for action. ‘It is well past time that our country seriously commits to decolonising the tertiary workforce, curriculum and research agenda,’ writes Professor Ruru.

  This is a concise summary and analysis of Erotic Vagrancy, by Roger Lewis. It is not the original book and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Roger Lewis. Ideal for those seeking a quick and insightful overview.
   
  Erotic Vagrancy is an irreverent, provocative, and darkly comic journey through the underbelly of desire, culture, and obsession. Blending memoir, literary critique, and wild philosophical digressions, the book explores eccentric lives, scandalous histories, and the thin line between genius and madness. With sharp wit and unapologetic candor, it dives into the absurdities of fame, the grotesque allure of certain personalities, and the unfiltered passions that shape both art and life. It’s a work that defies categorization—part satire, part cultural autopsy, and wholly unrestrained.

  The Leadership Detour is a deeply personal and powerful memoir-meets-leadership guide by Dr. Tammi Fleming. Blending lived experience with professional insight, she shares her unexpected journey from early career success to profound personal transformation. Through heartfelt storytelling and coaching wisdom, she explores the essential leadership shifts-from technical expertise to emotional intelligence, from performance to presence, and from chasing titles to building a legacy. 
  Drawing from her upbringing in New Orleans, her work across the federal, nonprofit, and philanthropic sectors, and her experiences mentoring and coaching emerging leaders, Dr. Fleming reframes leadership as a journey of becoming-one shaped not by perfection, but by resilience, reflection, and realignment. 
  The Leadership Detour offers inspiration, encouragement, and a roadmap for professionals navigating transitions, leadership plateaus, or the quiet call to lead with greater authenticity and purpose.
