  A Broadway Stage Manager's pandemic memoir! 
  March 12, 2020 
  Last night, after weeks of downplaying and ridiculing the virus, we were finally told by our President, that it is, in fact, serious… 
  And so, it began. Broadway shut down. Instead of sitting in a darkened theatre every night watching Jersey Boys, Richard Hester found himself sitting on his sofa glued to the news. Hold, Please chronicles what came next from the particular point of view of a career Broadway stage manager living in Manhattan. Part journal, part blog, these essays attempted to make sense of the crisis and what it was doing to us. 
  What follows is a journey through one of the most fascinating periods in both our cultural and our personal histories. Written with humor and compassion, Hold, Please provides a unique perspective on this time and delivers the most important lesson of all - Hope. 
  “I’ve watched Richard create order out of chaos for years, so it comes as no surprise when he was able to do it again with these beautiful posts. Together they create a powerful reminder of where we’ve been as well as a thoughtful and compassionate guide for moving ahead.” - Bernadette Peters 
  “I am so grateful that Richard wrote all of this down so that I don’t have to remember it myself.” - Patti LuPone  
  “(Hester) describes such experiences in a warm, conversational tone in a book in which his lyrical writing about the natural world adds dimension to humorous stories about working—and not working—from home....Hester interweaves descriptions of living through Covid-19 with stories of his colorful theatrical career…” - Kirkus Reviews

  Power and Politics - The...

  This bundle offers an in-depth exploration of how political institutions, civil unrest, and power dynamics shaped the Roman Republic and Empire. Beginning with the early Republic, this book dives into the foundational structures of Roman governance—such as the Senate, consuls, and tribunes—highlighting how the balance of power evolved in response to internal challenges and external expansion. The early sections emphasize the ideals of civic virtue and republicanism that underpinned Rome’s initial governance, and how those ideals were tested by growing inequality and political rivalry. 
  As Rome expanded, the book traces the emergence of social conflict between the patricians and plebeians, the rise of populist leaders, and the violence that accompanied land reform and calls for justice. From the Gracchi brothers to Julius Caesar, readers will witness how political ambition and civil war undermined the Republic’s foundations. Key events such as Caesar’s dictatorship, the assassination that followed, and the shifting alliances during the subsequent power vacuum demonstrate how Rome’s political system struggled to contain individual ambition and the burden of imperial management. 
  Finally, the book examines the transformation into empire, where power became centralized under emperors who ruled with divine authority and military backing. Though the empire brought relative stability, it came with corruption, oppression, and loss of representative governance. This section looks closely at the early emperors, the role of the Senate under imperial rule, and the public’s shifting relationship with authority. Power and Politics serves as a gripping account of how Roman ideals clashed with political reality, offering timeless lessons about governance, ambition, and civic duty.

  A restorative and resonant memoir of a year in the life of an aging shepherd 
   
   
   
  For fifty years, Barbara McLean has tended a flock of Border Leicester sheep on her small Ontario farm, Lambsquarters. In Shepherd's Sight she shares the crises, pleasures, and challenges of farm life over the course of a year. Now in her seventies, McLean faces a new problem: how much longer she can continue with the physically taxing work that is her central source of meaning and satisfaction. 
   
   
   
  Through her unsentimental gaze, we witness the highs and heartbreaks of delivering and rearing lambs, the shearing and spinning of wool, the wildlife in the woods (and occasionally in the house), and the garden produce moving from seed to harvest to table. Even after half a century on this land, McLean is still making fresh observations, and she shares them in evocative, elegant prose. As she moves through the calendar year, she also reflects on years past, offering a long view on climate, stewardship, and agriculture. 
   
   
   
  With its vivid description and absorbing storytelling, Shepherd's Sight offers an unforgettable glimpse of a life lived on the land.
