  The only man he trusted was a killer too. 
   
  The inspiration for the hit Oxygen True Crime original documentary series Death Row Confidential, produced by Dick Wolf, Vanity Fair Studios, and Universal Television. Also available on Peacock. 
   
  On death row at San Quentin, artist and inmate William Noguera formed an unlikely bond with notorious serial killer Joseph Naso. 
   
  Over years of disturbing conversations—and at great personal risk—Noguera gained his trust. What he revealed was far worse than anyone imagined. 
   
  Behind prison walls, Naso described his brutal crimes in chilling detail, exposing the darkness that drove him and disclosing evidence that had eluded investigators for decades. 
   
  For the first time, Noguera lays bare those confessions and the psychological games behind them—offering long-overdue answers for grieving families and fresh leads in cases gone cold. 
   
  Through the Lens of a Monster is both a window into the twisted mind of a predator and a haunting memoir of a man seeking redemption for his own violent past.

  Love Offers No Safety: Nigeria's Queer Men Speak is a raw and powerful collection of 25 first-person narratives that explore the diverse experience of queer Nigerian men. These stirring stories cut across age, class, religion, ethnicity, family and relationships, offering a glimpse into what it means to survive as a queer man in Nigeria. From Tunji, who takes us back to the thriving networking community before social media, to Chukwori, who struggles to reconcile his need to serve God with his sexuality, and Abdulkarim, who frustratingly wonders if he'll ever stop working twice as hard to be accepted, these stories are full of contradictions, anger, resiliency, profound insight, and radical hope.
  
  With heightened levels of oppression, violence, and discrimination faced by LGBTQ Nigerians due to the Same Sex Marriage (Prohibition) Law, these voices remind us of what the queer community in Nigeria has always been fighting for - the freedom to be themselves, love themselves, and love each other, despite being viewed as unworthy. Love Offers No Safety is a heart-breaking yet hopeful reminder that love knows no boundaries and offers no safety, but it is worth fighting for.

  Thomas Malthus was an English economist and demographer who lived from 1766 to 1834. He is best known for his influential work, "An Essay on the Principle of Population," which was first published in 1798. 
  Malthus argued that population growth would eventually outstrip the available resources, leading to poverty, famine, and disease. He believed that population growth would increase geometrically (exponentially), while the growth of resources would only increase arithmetically (linearly). This meant that, in the long run, population growth would inevitably lead to a scarcity of resources and a decline in living standards. 
  Malthus's work was controversial and was often criticized for its pessimistic outlook on human progress. However, it was also influential and helped to shape the field of demography and population studies. 
  James Bonar was a Scottish economist and historian who lived from 1852 to 1941. He wrote extensively on the history of economic thought and was particularly interested in the work of Malthus. 
  Bonar's most important contribution to the study of Malthus was his biographical work, "Malthus and His Work," which was first published in 1885. This book provides a detailed analysis of Malthus's life and work, as well as an assessment of his contributions to economic thought. 
  Bonar argues that Malthus's work was important because it challenged the prevailing optimistic view of human progress and brought attention to the issue of population growth. He also suggests that Malthus's ideas were misinterpreted by many of his contemporaries, who saw his work as a call for population control or as an attack on the poor. 
  Overall, Bonar's work on Malthus helped to shed light on the importance of Malthus's contributions to economic thought and the continuing relevance of his ideas in modern times.

  Chitokoloki Mission Hospital is a remote but remarkable facility in the North-Western Province of Zambia. This book comes from a compilation of daily reports about life in a remote African mission hospital. It is written from a personal and clinical angle and with a surgical emphasis because that formed the bulk of the activity that has been recorded. The detailed experiences of many patients has been captured and the authors convey the almost unbelievable reality that their experience reflects. Initially the reports formed a flowing clinical news blog and they have been assembled in book form to include the Christian context as well as insights into the reality of daily life in the local villages. Again and again these stories have been the focus of discussion and enquiry and it has been good to share the experiences to the point that others who become aware are ready to pray, support, give and even visit in order to contribute in some way to the work of the mission.

  FINDING A PLACE IN THE NATURAL WORLD AS A HUNTRESS 
   
  After thirty years cultivating fruits and vegetables, raising children, and teaching literature, Deborah Lee Luskin stepped out of her garden and into the forest. At sixty, it was time to age fiercely, overcome her suburban fear of getting lost in the woods and her urban reliance on street signs to know where she was. She wanted to forge her own path through the forest by following the deer. A dedicated locavore, Luskin didn’t want just to read the landscape, she also wanted to eat it. 
   
  Luskin overcame her ambivalence about guns as she gained a deeper understanding of the hunter's role in the ecosystem of the northern forest. Her literary acumen helped her read the landscape and—as thoughtfully as she hunts for words—to hunt for deer. With the stories of Artemis, goddess of the hunt, childbirth, and wild nature to inspire her, Deborah became a deer hunter. Reviving Artemis is her story of finding her place in the natural world.
