Book Description
In Indiana, in the woods near a pond, there lives an eastern box turtle. He's very happy in his home, but there's just one problem: people who visit the cottage nearby can't seem to leave him alone. One day a large family comes to the pond, swimming and making a lot of noise. Then one of them picks him up. After they examine him, they put him in a big box and then drive away with him the next day. The family is taking him away to someplace called Ohio. They set up a wading pool in the backyard, but it's not the same as being free. Even worse, the people give him weird food. The poor turtle is uncomfortable; he wants to go home! Will he ever get back to his pond in Indiana? Based on real events, this children's story tells the tale of an eastern box turtle carried away from his home and the journey that takes him back again.

Book Description
There is no one way to be transgender. Transgender and gender non-conforming people have many different ways of understanding their gender identities. Only recently have sex and gender been thought of as separate concepts, and we have learned that sex (traditionally thought of as physical or biological) is as variable as gender (traditionally thought of as social). While trans people share many common experiences, there is immense diversity within trans communities. There are an estimated 700,000 transgendered individuals in the US and 15 million worldwide. Even still, there's been a notable lack of organized information for this sizable group. Trans Bodies, Trans Selves is a revolutionary resource-a comprehensive, reader-friendly guide for transgender people, with each chapter written by transgender or genderqueer authors. Inspired by Our Bodies, Ourselves, the classic and powerful compendium written for and by women, Trans Bodies, Trans Selves is widely accessible to the transgender population, providing authoritative information in an inclusive and respectful way and representing the collective knowledge base of dozens of influential experts. Each chapter takes the reader through an important transgender issue, such as race, religion, employment, medical and surgical transition, mental health topics, relationships, sexuality, parenthood, arts and culture, and many more. Anonymous quotes and testimonials from transgender people who have been surveyed about their experiences are woven throughout, adding compelling, personal voices to every page. In this unique way, hundreds of viewpoints from throughout the community have united to create this strong and pioneering book. It is a welcoming place for transgender and gender-questioning people, their partners and families, students, professors, guidance counselors, and others to look for up-to-date information on transgender life.

Book Description
The word conquer has changed meaning for Bryan Anderson. As a U.S. Army Sergeant in Iraq, it meant taking down the enemy. After becoming Iraq’s fourth triple amputee from a roadside explosive, what he had to conquer got a bit more personal. On October 23, 2005, the moment Bryan looked down and realized he no longer had legs, he cracked a joke. It was a tragedy that could break many, but Bryan transformed it into something positive, something that propelled him forward. Despite grueling surgeries and rehabilitation, his goal has always been bigger than simply walking again. Making the most of life, he went for it, learning how to snowboard, water-ski, rock climb, and skateboard with his condition—even winning himself some gold medals to place next to his Purple Heart. In this inspiring memoir, Bryan shares his infectious love for life that touches anyone who’s faced hardship. Anyone, in any circumstance, can overcome the toughest challenges, by not just surviving, but thriving. No Turning Back is a testament to pure hard work, perseverance, and hope for a better life—no matter what shape it takes.

Book Description
From the winner of the 2017 John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer, Ada Palmer's 2017 Compton Crook Award-winning political science fiction, Too Like the Lightning, ventures into a human future of extraordinary originality Mycroft Canner is a convict. For his crimes he is required, as is the custom of the 25th century, to wander the world being as useful as he can to all he meets. Carlyle Foster is a sensayer--a spiritual counselor in a world that has outlawed the public practice of religion, but which also knows that the inner lives of humans cannot be wished away. The world into which Mycroft and Carlyle have been born is as strange to our 21st-century eyes as ours would be to a native of the 1500s. It is a hard-won utopia built on technologically-generated abundance, and also on complex and mandatory systems of labelling all public writing and speech. What seem to us normal gender distinctions are now distinctly taboo in most social situations. And most of the world's population is affiliated with globe-girdling clans of the like-minded, whose endless economic and cultural competition is carefully managed by central planners of inestimable subtlety. To us it seems like a mad combination of heaven and hell. To them, it seems like normal life. And in this world, Mycroft and Carlyle have stumbled on the wild card that may destablize the system: the boy Bridger, who can effortlessly make his wishes come true. Who can, it would seem, bring inanimate objects to life... Terra Ignota 1. Too Like the Lightning 2. Seven Surrenders 3. The Will to Battle At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Book Description
Minister Nicodemus Dungy is learning the hard way that the life of a church fixer means there are no days off. Following the dramatic events of his last assignment, Nic has decided to take a much-needed vacation. Instead of resolving potential faith-shattering church scandals, he is spending his days on the beach enjoying a good book and an occasional swim in the ocean. He spends his nights with an elderly couple he has befriended, looking up at the stars and praying that one day Victory, a potential love interest, will join him. His vacation is cut short when a prominent pastor comes up dead at an international church conference. Despite his reluctance, Nic is offered a king's ransom to find information that can lead to the murderer. Against his better judgment, he accepts the assignment and thus sojourns into a deadly world of crime and corruption. The more he investigates the circumstances surrounding the pastor's murder, the more Nic will realize that he is in over his head. Set in a remote island in the Bahamas, No Sin in Paradise is a beautiful but deadly odyssey. Nic will encounter a secret society, a business tycoon, a drug dealer, and a voodoo priestess on his quest to uncover the truth, but will the truth come at a price that is too steep for Nic to pay?
