Book excerpt: The euphoric idealism of grassroots reform and the tragic reality of revolutionary failure are at the center of this speculative novel that opens with a real historical event. On October 2, 1968, 10 days before the Summer Olympics in Mexico, the Mexican government responds to a student demonstration in Tlatelolco by firing into the crowd, killing more than 200 students and civilians and wounding hundreds more. The Tlatelolco massacre was erased from the official record as easily as authorities washing the blood from the streets, and no one was ever held accountable. It is two years later and Nestor, a journalist and participant in the fateful events, lies recovering in the hospital from a knife wound. His fevered imagination leads him in the collection of facts and memories of the movement and its assassination in the company of figures from his childhood. Nestor calls on the heroes of his youth—Sherlock Holmes, Doc Holliday, Wyatt Earp, and D’Artagnan among them—to join him in launching a new reform movement conceived by his intensely active imagination.

Book excerpt: Most men have the ability to become biological fathers. But parenting takes time, hard work, money, and love. It takes a real hero to be a real dad. Even if you’re divorced or abandoned your child, it is never too late to make amends. While teenagers and young adults may not be overjoyed to have dad back in their life—or to meet him for the first time—they still need a hero. In this book, Evelyn Cross examines what it takes for men to be heroes. She considers questions such as: How can you exercise your rights and fulfill your obligations as a dad? If you don’t have children, how can you be a hero? Can prayer help you hone your skills as a hero? What are the main characteristics of a hero? The author also explores how to build a strong marriage, which she says is a vocation that requires a lifetime of devotion. A marriage is like a career and family business rolled into one— and you must always work on it. Take steps to be a hero to the ones you care about the most with the insights and lessons in this handbook for men.

Book excerpt: Calling All Cars shows how radio played a key role in an emerging form of policing during the turbulent years of the Depression. Until this time popular culture had characterized the gangster as hero, but radio crime dramas worked against this attitude and were ultimately successful in making heroes out of law enforcement officers.Through close analysis of radio programming of the era and the production of true crime docudramas, Kathleen Battles argues that radio was a significant site for overhauling the dismal public image of policing. However, it was not simply the elevation of the perception of police that was at stake. Using radio, reformers sought to control the symbolic terrain through which citizens encountered the police, and it became a medium to promote a positive meaning and purpose for policing. For example, Battles connects the apprehension of criminals by a dragnet with the idea of using the radio network to both publicize this activity and make it popular with citizens.The first book to systematically address the development of crime dramas during the golden age of radio, Calling All Cars explores an important irony: the intimacy of the newest technology of the time helped create an intimate authority—the police as the appropriate force for control—over the citizenry.

Book excerpt: From world-renowned autism spokesperson, scientist, and inventor Temple Grandin -- a book of personal stories, inventions, and facts that will blow young inventors' minds and make them soar. Have you ever wondered what makes a kite fly or a boat float? Have you ever thought about why snowflakes are symmetrical, or why golf balls have dimples? Have you ever tried to make a kaleidoscope or build a pair of stilts? In Calling All Minds, Temple Grandin explores the ideas behind all of those questions and more. She delves into the science behind inventions, the steps various people took to create and improve upon ideas as they evolved, and the ways in which young inventors can continue to think about and understand what it means to tinker, to fiddle, and to innovate. And laced throughout it all, Temple gives us glimpses into her own childhood tinkering, building, and inventing. More than a blueprint for how to build things, in Calling All Minds Temple Grandin creates a blueprint for different ways to look at the world. And more than a call to action, she gives a call to imagination, and shows readers that there is truly no single way to approach any given problem--but that an open and inquisitive mind is always key. Praise for Calling All Minds: "An impassioned call to look at the world in unique ways with plenty of practical advice on how to cultivate a curious, inquiring, imaginative mind." —Kirkus Reviews "Both practical and inspirational, this useful book describes an overall approach to viewing the world creatively, as exemplified by the numerous projects and supporting material provided here." —VOYA "Grandin offers a nuanced perspective on the qualities of a successful inventor—notably, a sense of wonder and curiosity, careful observation, and the willingness to learn from mistakes." —Publishers Weekly

Book excerpt: Former US Navy SEAL Marcus Luttrell's story of survival is well known. In his bestseller, Marcus tells the story of Operation Redwing, a mission in the mountains of Afghanistan that left him as the only living member of his team. But one part of Marcus's remarkable story has remained untold until now. In Training Heroes, Steve Hunter explores the foundation for Marcus's success as a Navy SEAL-his training in Buke-ryu, a style of traditional martial arts created by Hunter. Buke-ryu combines the best of Okinawan karate-jutsu and Japanese aiki- and ju-jutsu, along with training in modern weapons and outdoor skills such as hunting and tracking. Hunter, as the innovator of Buke-ryu, trains the whole person to develop a strong body, a sound mind, and a spirit grounded in Christian values. Hunter instilled all these qualities in his student Marcus Luttrell and provided training that proved essential to Marcus's amazing survival in Afghanistan. A powerful story of a teacher's importance in developing a warrior, Training Heroes sheds new light on Marcus's journey in Afghanistan. Hunter captures the intensity of one of his most dedicated students and shows readers how he realized his own calling to spend his life Training Heroes.
