Sinossi

Hurricane Disasters examines why hurricanes continue to devastate the United States despite advances in forecasting. The book traces the evolution of disaster response policies and explores the long-term consequences for affected communities, delving into environmental science, public policy, and social history.

 
While scientific advancements have improved our ability to predict hurricanes, failures in policy and social equity often lead to catastrophic outcomes. For example, the book highlights the disproportionate impact on vulnerable populations due to factors like poverty and inadequate infrastructure.

 
The book adopts a fact-based, analytical approach, presenting information in a clear and accessible manner. It begins with an overview of hurricane science, including the impact of climate change, before transitioning into detailed analyses of major hurricanes like Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Harvey. These case studies explore the effectiveness of disaster response and long-term recovery efforts.

 
Ultimately, Hurricane Disasters argues for a holistic approach to disaster management that integrates scientific knowledge with social justice to build more resilient communities.

    ". . . brutally honest . . . a compelling work. GET IT" -Kirkus Reviews 
     "Moving story of an adopted daughter's search for her own voice." -Booklife 
    "Well-written and poignant . . . engaging. Feelings and experiences to which many adoptees can relate." 
    -Betsie Norris, Founder and Executive Director, Adoption Network Cleveland 
    In 1947, in Celina, Ohio, Dr. Ralph Beare and his wife, Lou, childless and in their early forties, adopted a four-and-a-half-month-old orphan. “Janice” knew she was adopted, because her mommy read her a book about how the Beare's chose her out of a Home. "We chose you, but we love you as if you were our own." However, her mother never seemed to forget she was adopted, especially on Mother’s Day, when she couldn’t look at Janice without crying. 
    Janice learned that most grown-ups in town knew her as "Dr. Beare's Daughter." Her daddy took her everywhere and people stopped to stoop down and tell her how he had saved their lives.  
    With her red hair and freckles, Janice didn't look like her dark-haired parents. Her struggle to become that elusive golden child that she imagined they really wanted came with the erasure of her own identity. Still, there was a small voice, deep inside her, that popped up at the most inconvenient times, saying, "I'm here." Try as she might to silence it, her true self often slipped out to take charge, and then there was trouble.

    Wild West’s Most Influential...

    Space may be the final frontier, but no frontier has ever captured the American imagination like the “Wild West”, which still evokes images of dusty cowboys, outlaws, gunfights, gamblers, and barroom brawls over 100 years after the West was settled. A constant fixture in American pop culture, the 19th century American West continues to be vividly and colorful portrayed not just as a place but as a state of mind. 
    	Almost absent in the perceptions of modern America is the comprehension of African Americans participating so prolifically in the building of the nation. Print fiction idealizing the cowboy life to Eastern readers would not depict what had ignited the war for which so many had an utter revulsion. The black man of the post-war years did not inspire the white spirit so essential for reveling in the old system. The 20th century’s television and cinematic offerings operated on the same drive, and the existence of black cattle workers was all but blotted out. Indeed, many of the modern age are barely aware that an African-American ever “stepped foot on the West bank of the Mississippi River.” No one saw the black cowboy on screen or in print, the two information industries that shaped our perception of America’s westward expansion. Therefore, a collective assumption that they must never have existed at all was nationally internalized. 
    	However, as UCLA professors Philip Durham and Everett L. Jones, authors of The Negro Cowboys, reminded readers, about 25% of cowboys working in the West were African-American. They further noted that former slaves emigrating from the South entered virtually every viable profession in the plains, mountain ranges, and on to the Pacific. Their contribution ranged from the military to mining, exploration, farming, and in the construction of the West’s first towns.

    Fans of What My Bones Know will enjoy this story of triumph as one successful man finally breaks the silence and faces the demons of his past.The truth about male abuse remains hidden. Not because it is rare, but because it is rarely spoken.For decades, Ed Cohen was one of those silent voices. He built a life that, from the outside, looked like success—leading organizations around the world, earning respect, and creating impact. No one saw the burden of his truth; no one knew the cost. For more than fifty years, Ed survived behind a mask shaped by fear, shame, and an unnamed past, until the silence became unbearable.Vulnerable is the story of what happens next. It is the journey of one man finally facing the abuse that defined his childhood, the silence that shaped his life, and the courage it took to tell the truth. It asks the question many carry but rarely voice aloud:What if the very mask that helped you survive is what has kept you from healing?This is not just a memoir. It is a reckoning. A release. A path forward. Through deeply personal storytelling and hard-earned insight, Ed offers more than his story; he offers a way through, grounded in connection, truth, and the power of being seen. For anyone who has ever carried something in silence, and for anyone who has ever wondered if healing is possible, this book is your invitation.The silence ends here.
