Wonderland: A Tale of Hustling Hard and Breaking Even

By Nicole Treska

"A necessary narrative that extends compassion and dignity to those our society often withholds it from. After the death of her paternal aunt, Nicole returns to the town that gave her family its street cred but has taken away everything else. She was born to a family of gangsters in the Boston area whose affiliation with the Winter Hill Gang afforded them an amount of protection, money, and respect. It's in Boston that she reunites with her father and is reminded of why she left in the first place, but also why she returned. Though Nicole sees it as her responsibility to take care of those around her, as a writer, adjunct professor, and waitress, who rents out the second bedroom of her Harlem apartment on Airbnb to make ends meet, she can barely take care of herself. If achieving the American Dream means alienating oneself from their community, Wonderland: A Tale of Hustling Hard and Breaking Even reminds us why the reality of 'escaping poverty' is more complex than the decisions of individuals, but also depends on the investment we make in our people to thrive together"-- Provided by publisher.

Psychedelic Outlaws: The Movement Revolutionizing Modern Medicine

By Joanna Kempner

"Professor of Sociology Dr. Joanna Kemper follows a group of people united only by debilitating cluster headaches, who, after coming together in the early days of the internet, developed their own medicine from home-grown mushrooms, produced near-clinical grade trials and dosing protocols, and managed to get academics at Harvard and Yale to test their work and results. In the process, this extraordinary story reminiscent of John Carreyrou's Bad Blood and Michael Pollan's How to Change Your Mind explores not only the fascinating history and exploding popularity of mushroom science, but also proves that the United States has set up a regulatory and legal system so repressive that our most innovative therapies for pain are being developed underground by sick people forced to break the law just to find relief, and how, in turn, corporate America, and sometimes devious academics, stand to profit from their transgressions"--

The End of Ambition: America's Past, Present, and Future in the Middle East

By Steven A Cook

In The End of Ambition , Steven A. Cook charts the course of the United States' encounter with the Middle East from the mid-twentieth century through the present day. Looking back, Cook makes a bold claim: the US was--despite setbacks and moral costs--successful. That record of achievement began to unravel in the early 1990s when policymakers embarked upon a set of overly ambitious policies to remake the Middle East. Cook highlights that calls to withdraw from the region are rash given the important interests the US maintains in the region. Yet, he also underscores how those interests are changing and explores alternatives to America's current approach to the Middle East against the backdrop of political uncertainty in the United States and a changing global order.
