Summary:

Rather Than Wait for a Hero, She Decided to Create One

Betsy Huckabee has big-city dreams, but nobody outside of tiny Pine Gap, Missouri, seems interested in the articles she writes for her uncle's newspaper. Her hopes for independence may be crushed, until the best idea she's ever had comes riding into town.

Deputy Joel Puckett didn't want to leave Texas, but unfair circumstances have made moving to Pine Gap his only shot at keeping a badge. Worse, this small town has big problems, and masked marauders have become too comfortable taking

justice into their own hands. He needs to make clear that he's the law in this townand that job is made more difficult with a nosy reporter who seems to follow him everywhere he goes.

The hero Betsy creates to be the star in a serial for the ladies' pages is based on the dashing deputy, but he's definitely fictional. And since the pieces run only in newspapers far away, no one will ever know. But the more time she spends with

Deputy Puckett, the more she appreciates the real heroand the more she realizes what her ambition could cost him.

Trapped in an existence that is slowly killing her, she sees death as her only way out. A shred of hope remains inside her heart, keeping her alive. She clings to it with desperate need.

Enter Sean OConnor, one of the four brothers running the Irish mafia in his dying fathers stead. Being a hothead, most disregard him as immature and selfish. Hes one of the best enforcers for his clan, but things change for him when he takes

Hana. Seeing her as a means to flush out the head of the Korean mafia and let them know who runs the West End, he never expected to have feelings for her, or that he would want to save her. Can these two damaged souls find solace in each

other? Will they allow themselves to feel again?

Title: Plagues upon the Earth: Disease and the Course of Human History

Author: Kyle Harper

Narrator: Tim Fannon

Format: Unabridged

Length: 19:47:43

Language: English

Release date: 12-15-21

Publisher: Recorded Books

Genres: Business & Economics, History, World, Science & Technology, Medicine

Summary:

A sweeping germ's-eye view of history from human origins to global pandemics Plagues upon the Earth is a monumental history of humans and their germs. Weaving together a grand narrative of global history with insights from cutting-edge genetics, Kyle Harper explains why humanity's uniquely dangerous disease pool is rooted deep in our evolutionary past, and why its growth is acceleratedby technological progress. He shows that the story of disease is entangled with the history of slavery, colonialism, and capitalism, and reveals the enduring effects of historical plagues in patterns of wealth, health, power, and inequality. He also tells the story of humanity's escape from infectious disease-a triumph that makes life as we know it possible, yet destabilizes the environment and fosters new diseases. Panoramic in scope, Plagues upon the Earth traces the role of disease in the transition to farming, the spread of cities, the advance of transportation, and the stupendous increase in human population. Harper offers a new interpretation of humanity's path to control over infectious disease-one where rising evolutionary threats constantly push back against human progress, and where the devastating effects of modernization contribute to the great divergence between societies. The book reminds us that human health is globally interdependent-and inseparable from the well-being of the planet itself. Putting the COVID-19 pandemic in perspective, Plagues upon the Earth tells the story of how we got here as a species, and it may help us decide where we want to go.

Summary:

Why your worst nightmares about watching horror movies are unfounded

Films about chainsaw killers, demonic possession, and ghostly intruders make some of us scream with joy. But while horror fans are attracted to movies designed to scare us, others shudder already at the thought of the sweatdrenched nightmares that terrifying movies often trigger. The fear of sleepless

nights and the widespread beliefs that horror movies can have negative psychological effects and display immorality make some of us very, very nervous about them. But should we be concerned?

In this book, horror-expert Mathias Clasen delves into the psychological science of horror cinema to bust some of the worst myths and correct the biggest misunderstandings surrounding the genre. In short and highly readable chapters peppered with vivid anecdotes and examples, he addresses the nervous persons

most pressing questions: What are the effects of horror films on our mental and physical health? Why do they often cause nightmares? Arent horror movies immoral and a bad influence on children and adolescents? Shouldnt we be concerned about what the current popularity of horror movies says about society

and its values? While media psychologists have demonstrated that horror films indeed have the potential to harm us, Clasen reveals that the scientific evidence also contains a second story that is often overlooked: horror movies can also help us confront and manage fear and bring us closer together.

Title: Unprotected: A Memoir

Author: Billy Porter

Length: 12:22:27

Language: English

Release date: 12-14-21

Publisher: Recorded Books

Genres: Biography & Memoir, Arts & Entertainment, General

Summary:

This is not a coming-out story. Its not a down-low story either. I never could have passed for straight, even if Id wanted to, and so I never had the dubious luxury of living a lie.

From the incomparable Emmy, Grammy, and Tony Award winner, a powerful and revealing autobiography about race, sexuality, art, and healing

Its easy to be yourself when who and what you are is in vogue. But growing up Black and gay in America has never been easy. Before Billy Porter was slaying red carpets and giving an iconic Emmy-winning performance in the celebrated TV show Pose; before he was the

groundbreaking Tony and Grammy Awardwinning star of Broadways Kinky Boots; and before he was an acclaimed recording artist, actor, playwright, director, and all-around legend, Porter was a young boy in Pittsburgh who was seen as different, who didnt fit in.

At five years old, Porter was sent to therapy to fix his effeminacy. He was endlessly bullied at school, sexually abused by his stepfather, and criticized at his church. Porter came of age in a world where simply being himself was a constant struggle.

Billy Porters Unprotected is the life story of a singular artist and survivor in his own words. It is the story of a boy whose talent and courage opened doors for him, but only a crack. It is the story of a teenager discovering himself, learning his voice and his craft amid deep

trauma. And it is the story of a young man whose unbreakable determination led him through countless hard times to where he is now; a proud icon who refuses to back down or hide. Porter is a multitalented, multifaceted treasure at the top of his game, and

Unprotected is a resonant, inspirational story of trauma and healing, shot through with his singular voice.
