Sinossi

In the heart of New York City, where dreams and nightmares collide, there walks a man who has seen it all. A man who has patrolled the streets, bearing witness to the city's darkest corners and brightest lights. A man who has dedicated his life to protecting those who cannot protect themselves. This is his story.

From the bustling streets of Manhattan to the gritty back alleys of Brooklyn, he has seen it all. He has walked through crime scenes, consoled victims, and pursued justice relentlessly. He has stood on the front lines, facing danger head-on, never backing down from a challenge.

But behind the badge, there is a man with a beating heart, a man with a family, a man with hopes and fears just like you and me. He has faced the darkness and emerged victorious, time and time again. He has seen the worst of humanity, yet he has never lost his faith in the power of good.

This book is a collection of his stories, tales from the streets of New York City. Stories of bravery, sacrifice, and resilience. Stories of hope, amidst the despair. Stories of humanity, in all its forms.

Join him on his journey as he takes you on a ride through the heart of the city that never sleeps. Experience the adrenaline rush of a high-speed chase, the satisfaction of solving a crime, and the heartbreak of losing a comrade.

These are his stories, the stories of a New York City police officer, a man who has seen it all. A man who has dedicated his life to protecting and serving the city he loves. A man who is, simply, one of us.

Even after living in this region for more than 30 years, I found myself wanting to revisit old forgotten places and explore new local destinations. I was yearning to be a better citizen.

    God of Sperm tells the remarkable story of Dr. Cappy Miles Rothman, the son of notorious gangster Norman "Roughhouse" Rothman,  who went on to become a trailblazer in the field of reproductive medicine. 
     
     
     
    Rothman started the California Cryobank, one of the world's largest repositories of reproductive genetic material and cord-blood stem cells. Among other achievements, Rothman also pioneered the use of microsurgery in urological procedures, postmortem sperm retrieval techniques, and was one of the first practitioners of andrology, a specialty dealing with male reproductive biology and medicine. 
     
     
     
    How Cappy Rothman went from Mafia scion and man-about-town during the postwar Miami Beach–Havana era of gangster chic to one of the most consequential figures in modern medicine is an epic, only-in-America tale and also a fine reminder of the broad horizons and wild possibilities life in the US can offer.

    Shortlisted for the 2024 Lambda Literary Award for Bisexual Nonfiction
    
    It's a tale as old as time. Girl meets boy. Boy wants girl. Girl says no. Boy takes what he wants anyway.
    After a violent sexual assault, Eden Boudreau was faced with a choice: call the police and explain that a man who wasn't her husband, who she had agreed to go on a date with, had just raped her. Or go home and pray that, in the morning, it would be only a nightmare.
    In the years that followed, Eden was met with disbelief by strangers, friends, and the authorities, often as a result of stigma towards her non-monogamy, sex positivity, and bisexuality. Societal conditioning of acceptable female sexuality silenced her to a point of despair, leading to addiction and even attempted suicide. It was through the act of writing that she began to heal.
    Crying Wolf is a gripping memoir that shares the raw path to recovery after violence and spotlights the ways survivors are too often demonized or ignored when they belong to marginalized communities. Boudreau heralds a new era for others dismissed for "crying wolf." After all, women prevailing to change society for others is also a tale as old as time.

    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.
