"At twenty-one-years-old, Lily Brooks-Dalton is feeling lost; returning to New England after three and a half years traveling overseas, she finds herself unsettled, unattached, and without the drive to move forward. When a friend mentions buying a motorcycle, Brooks-Dalton is intrigued and inspired. Before long she is diving headlong into the world of gearheads, reconsidering her surroundings through the visor of a motorcycle helmet, and beginning a study of motion that will help her understand her own trajectory. Her love for these powerful machines starts as a diversion, but as she continues riding and maintaining her own motorcycles, she rediscovers herself, her history, and her momentum"--
BLUE LIVES MATTER: The Heart Behind the Badge by Brian P. Whiddon Pdf
A violent war is being waged against cops in America. A common strategy in warfare is to de-humanize the enemy. And, our liberal media is pushing that narrative on an hourly basis. The fact is the majority of cops are good people, with families, ambitions, mortgages, health issues, feelings, opinions and, most importantly, SELFLESS COURAGE. Brian Whiddon spent 15 years as a law enforcement officer. In these pages, he gives readers a rare look into the humanity of being a cop on the street. Car chases, fights, arrests, rapes, shootings, deaths – they are all in here. But, Brian takes you deeper than that. In Blue Lives Matter, you’ll feel the raw, personal emotions that come from a cop’s professional experiences. You’ll learn the conversations that cops have in private. You’ll be introduced to the things all cops know that aren’t part of the academy curriculum. From being seconds away from shooting a suspect, to dealing with inter-departmental politics, to pulling a pilot out of a fiery plane crash, you’ll learn how it really feels to be a cop. Laugh at Brian’s antics, fight back tears over stories of tragedy, and burn with anger when you learn what some people get away with. No subject is too sensitive and Brian addresses them all – poverty, racism, homelessness, sexism, political correctness, and even corruption. Cops are the last thin line of defense between YOU and the violent chaos we are now witnessing in cities like Seattle, Chicago, and Portland. If what you’ve seen on the news hasn’t made you get off the couch yet, and Back the Blue, then you need to read this book. You’ll find that cops are human, just like you. A portion of all royalties from this book are donated by the author to the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation. Tunnel to Towers has several programs to help the family members of fallen first responders. Mainly, they pay off the mortgages of the homes of fallen heroes so that the family will not have to struggle with the burden of keeping a roof over their heads. Stephen Siller was a FDNY fireman who was getting off shift on the morning of September 11, 2001. After hearing reports of a plane crashing into the World Trade Center, he called his wife to say he would be home late, jumped in his truck, and raced toward the scene. However, the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel had been closed off for security reasons, and he could not drive through. Stephen strapped 60 pounds of equipment to his back, and ran on foot to the World Trade Center. He was one of the firemen who lost his life at Ground Zero. I invite you, also, to give to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation. Please enjoy this book knowing that part of what you paid will be donated to this worthy organization.
The beginning of the 21st century has seen important shifts in mobility cultures around the world, as the West’s media-driven car culture has contrasted with existing local mobilities, from rickshaws in India and minibuses in Africa to cycling in China. In this expansive volume, historian Gijs Mom explores how contemporary mobility has been impacted by social, political, and economic forces on a global scale, as in light of local mobility cultures, the car as an ‘adventure machine’ seems to lose cultural influence in favor of the car’s status character.

FINALIST FOR THE DAYTON LITERARY PEACE PRIZE Set in the near future, this hopeful story of survival and resilience follows Wanda—a luminous child born out of a devastating hurricane—as she navigates a rapidly changing world: A “symphony of beauty and heartbreak” (Associated Press). USA TODAY BESTSELLER! A Good Morning America Book Club pick · #1 Indie Next pick · LibraryReads pick · Book of the Month Club selection · Marie Claire #ReadWithMC book club selection · 2022 NPR “Book We Love” · New York Times Editors’ Choice Florida is slipping away. As devastating weather patterns and rising sea levels wreak gradual havoc on the state’s infrastructure, a powerful hurricane approaches a small town on the southeastern coast. Kirby Lowe, an electrical line worker, his pregnant wife, Frida, and their two sons, Flip and Lucas, prepare for the worst. When the boys go missing just before the hurricane hits, Kirby heads out into the high winds in search of his children. Left alone, Frida goes into premature labor and gives birth to an unusual child, Wanda, whom she names after the catastrophic storm that ushers her into a society closer to collapse than ever before. As Florida continues to unravel, Wanda grows. Moving from childhood to adulthood, adapting not only to the changing landscape, but also to the people who stayed behind in a place abandoned by civilization, Wanda loses family, gains community, and ultimately, seeks adventure, love, and purpose in a place remade by nature. Told in four parts—power, water, light, and time—The Light Pirate mirrors the rhythms of the elements and the sometimes quick, sometimes slow dissolution of the world as we know it. It is a meditation on the changes we would rather not see, the future we would rather not greet, and a call back to the beauty and violence of an untamable wilderness. Includes a Reading Group Guide.
