Summary:

You know that stress inventory you can take? You get one point each for a long list of disastrous life events? Lets just say I have lost count. In the last year alone Ive lost my husband (and his brother), sold our home, moved across the country, quietly quit my job, watched my closest friend-slash-sister-in-law move out of the country, and well, I guess thats it. Could be worse, right? So, here I am. My name is Holland Gallagher and I'm a twenty-seven-year-old MBA with no job and a broken heart.

Which, of course, is when my best friend-slash-mother-in-law Naomi introduces me to her oldest and dearest friend, Kai Ipu. Hes the empirically attractive Black-slash-Samoan CEO of a corporate consulting firm (think a started-in-his-dorm-room company with an eye to making corporations better citizens of the world). But Im a mess and hes significantly older than I am. So, I dont have to worry about that, right? Youd think. He just invited me to join his company. Im never one to turn down a challenge so, here goes everything.

Loosely based on the Bible book of Ruth (but with f-bombs from Kai, Hollands drunken confessions of adoration, and one spicy sex scene), Holland, My Heart is the first in a collection of biblical womens stories retold as contemporary romance. Holland, My Heart is an MF, dual POV, love-after-loss, sexy, witty standalone romance.

Title: Under a Wild Sky: John James Audubon and the Making of The Birds of America

Language: English

Release date: 05-23-23

Genres: Biography & Memoir, Science & Technology, Animals & Nature

Summary:

In this Pulitzer Prizefinalist biography, the author of Mad at the World examines the little-known life of the man behind the well-known bird survey.

John James Audubon is renowned for his masterpiece of natural history and art, The Birds of America, the first nearly comprehensive survey of the continent's birdlife. And yet few people understand, and many assume incorrectly, what sort of man he was. How did the illegitimate son of a French sea captain living in Haiti, who lied both about his parentage and his training, rise to become one of the greatest natural historians ever and the greatest name in ornithology? In Under a Wild Sky this Pulitzer Prize finalist, William Souder reveals that Audubon did not only compose the most famous depictions of birds the world has ever seen, but he also composed a brilliant mythology of self. In this dazzling work of biography, Souder charts the life of a driven man who, despite all odds, became the historical figure we know today.

'A meticulous biography and a fascinating portrait of a young nation.' —San Francisco Chronicle

'As richly endowed and densely packed as the forests of Audubon's day.' —Minneapolis Star-Tribune

Summary:

A fascinating history of the US Post Office for kids, from acclaimed author Linda Barrett Osborne

In America, one of the first things done in a new State is to have the mail come. Alexis de Toqueville, 1835

Whos Got Mail? is an intriguing and fact-filled look at how the mail has been delivered in the United States since before the Constitution was even signed. In the United States, the spread of the postal service went hand in hand with the spread of democracy and transportation. As settlement spread west, communication became even more important to let distant residents feel that they were American; no part of the country was too far away, no village or farm too small to have access to the post. Moreover, the Post Office has always been a public serviceit was not originally designed to make a profit or act like a business, but to deliver letters, medical supplies, packages ordered online, and all the things that Americans need at a reasonable cost. Over the centuries, it has also been one of the largest employers in the United States, particularly as a means for African Americans and women to secure stable, middle-class jobs.

Full of eccentric characters, great stories, and technological achievements, this fun middle-grade narrative nonfiction from author Linda Barrett Osborne celebrates one of the oldest and strongest institutions, and is a true testament to the spirit of American democracy.

Because the second he opens his mouth, it's all she can do to not maim him with her carry-on. But somewhere between his surprisingly thoughtful snack sharing and his uncanny ability to see straight to the core of her, her feelings go unchecked.

Suddenly, their crackling chemistry is just one more thing they have to navigate-and it couldn't come at a worse time. But after a lifetime of letting the expectations and needs of others drive her life, Cassidy must decide if she's ready to take the wheel once and for all.

Title: Crossed Wires: The Conflicted History of US Telecommunications, From The Post Office To The Internet

Author: Dan Schiller

Narrator: Christopher Douyard

Format: Unabridged

Length: 32:19:50

Language: English

Release date: 05-23-23

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Business & Economics, Marketing & Advertising, Science & Technology, Technology & Engineering

Summary:

Telecommunications networks are vast, intricate, hugely costly systems for exchanging messages and information—within cities and across continents. From the Post Office and the telegraph to today's internet, these networks have sown domestic division while also acting as sources of international power.

In Crossed Wires, Dan Schiller, who has conducted archival research on United States telecommunications for more than forty years, recovers the extraordinary social history of the major network systems of the United States. Drawing on arrays of archival documents and secondary sources, Schiller reveals that this history has been shaped by sharp social and political conflict and is embedded in the larger history of an expansionary United States political economy. Schiller argues that networks have enabled United States imperialism through a recurrent 'American system' of cross-border communications.

This authoritative and comprehensive revisionist history of United States telecommunications argues that not technology but a dominative—and contested—political economy drove the evolution of this critical industry.
