  Fifteen survivors of the September 11 attack on the World Trade Center share their dramatic stories of that fateful day. On September 11, 2001, tens of thousands in New York City awakened to a beautiful Tuesday morning. Just like any other day, they completed their morning routines and headed to work. For Erik Ronningen, that was his job with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey at the World Trade Center. Ronningen had a big, career-changing meeting scheduled for 9 A.M.  At 8:46 A.M., Erik was on the seventy-first floor of the North Tower when American Airlines Flight 11 struck the building. As acrid smoke filled the building, he made his way downstairs, hoping to get to the Security Command Center in the basement of the South Tower. However, he was unable to reach it and was the last person to exit the South Tower alive . . .  In From the Inside Out, Ronningen shares the story of his harrowing escape, along with stories from fourteen other survivors. These gripping accounts chronicle individuals displaying courage and heroism when their ordinary day quickly became a fiery scramble for survival.

  From an award-winning journalist comes a vivid and moving portrait of eight  
  trans and nonbinary teenagers across the country, following their daily  
  triumphs, struggles, and all that encompasses growing up trans in America  
  today. 
  Media coverage tends to sensationalize the fight over how trans kids should be  
  allowed to live, but what is incredibly rare are the voices of the people at the  
  heart of this debate: transgender and gender nonconforming kids themselves. For  
  their groundbreaking new book, journalist Nico Lang spent a year traveling the  
  country to document the lives of transgender, nonbinary, and genderfluid teens  
  and their families.  
  From the tip of Florida’s conservative panhandle to vibrant queer communities in  
  California, and from Texas churches to mosques in Illinois, American Teenager 
  gives readers a window into the lives of Wyatt, Rhydian, Mykah, Clint, Ruby,  
  Augie, Jack, and Kylie, eight teens who, despite what some lawmakers might want  
  us to believe, are truly just kids looking for a brighter future. Drawing on hundreds  
  of hours of on-the-ground interviews with them and the people in their  
  communities, American Teenager paints a vivid portrait of what it’s actually like to  
  grow up trans today. 
  “With humor and compassion, Lang shows trans teenagers as they really are: kids  
  trying their best, day by day, to grow into their truest selves and fullest  
  potential.”—Maia Kobabe, author of Gender Queer: A Memoir

  Marriage and Morals

  Bertrand Russell

  In Marriage and Morals, Bertrand Russell challenges conventional attitudes toward love, marriage, and sexuality, offering a bold and progressive critique of traditional moral values. First published in 1929, this groundbreaking work examines the evolving nature of human relationships, questioning outdated norms and advocating for a more rational and ethical approach to marriage and personal freedom. 
  Russell explores the historical and cultural influences that have shaped ideas about marriage, fidelity, and sexual morality. He critiques the rigid constraints imposed by religious and social institutions, arguing that many traditional views on relationships are based on dogma rather than reason or human well-being. Instead, he promotes a more open and flexible perspective, emphasizing the importance of emotional and intellectual compatibility, personal autonomy, and mutual respect between partners. 
  A central theme of the book is Russell’s belief that morality should be based on human happiness rather than arbitrary social rules. He discusses topics such as divorce, birth control, and the role of women in society, advocating for greater equality and personal choice in matters of love and family life. His views, considered radical at the time, laid the foundation for modern discussions on sexual ethics, gender roles, and personal relationships. 
  Marriage and Morals remains a thought-provoking and relevant work, offering timeless insights into the complexities of love and marriage. Essential reading for those interested in philosophy, sociology, and human relationships, it continues to inspire debates on the intersection of morality, freedom, and societal change.
