Book Description
Glen Sharp's boxing career was a rise-and-fall story without so much rise in it. A sparring partner for light-heavyweight Hall of Famer Yaqui Lopez, he "retired" with a record of one victory and two defeats. A decade later, having come to understand how and why he failed as a younger fighter, he attempted a comeback. Told with heart and wit, his memoir is a treatise on boxing as both profession and purpose. Sharp uses economic theory to describe the sweet science as a case study in resource management while recounting his own struggle to win fistic glory and his father's admiration.

Book Description
What is it like to do the back-breaking work of immigrants? To find out, Gabriel Thompson spent a year working alongside Latino immigrants, who initially thought he was either crazy or an undercover immigration agent. He stooped over lettuce fields in Arizona, and worked the graveyard shift at a chicken slaughterhouse in rural Alabama. He dodged taxis -- not always successfully -- as a bicycle delivery "boy" for an upscale Manhattan restaurant, and was fired from a flower shop by a boss who, he quickly realized, was nuts. As one coworker explained, "These jobs make you old quick." Back spasms occasionally keep Thompson in bed, where he suffers recurring nightmares involving iceberg lettuce and chicken carcasses. Combining personal narrative with investigative reporting, Thompson shines a bright light on the underside of the American economy, exposing harsh working conditions, union busting, and lax government enforcement -- while telling the stories of workers, undocumented immigrants, and desperate US citizens alike, forced to live with chronic pain in the pursuit of 8 an hour.

Book Description
A Goddess Rises… The goddess Maja is alive, thanks to Adina’s grandfather Sujani, and her existence is pulling the world out of balance. Between floods, plagues and wildfires, the realm is heading straight for another Cataclysm. It’s up to Adina to prevent it. Or die trying. A blade forged in secret… Only the Bone Shard Blade can kill a goddess, but Sujani’s not giving his up. To forge another, Adina must find the bones of a twelve-hundred-year-old dragon and a mystical energy source strong enough to wield divine magic. Sujani’s rival, Damon, could provide the magical power boost, but allying with him means trusting him when he’s already tried to murder her once. Kill the goddess, save the world… Adina must untangle Damon and Sujani’s schemes if she has any hope of making it through this with her un-life intact. With some allies and unexpected help, the realm might just have a chance. But she will need to use every trick in her arsenal to survive, obliterate Maja, and save the world. Goddess of Blood and Shadows is the thrilling conclusion to The Vampire Assassin Chronicles.
