  Neverland

  Vanessa Kisuule is a big Michael Jackson fan. This fixation once gave her great joy, but now it keeps her up at night. In her bracingly honest, energetic and lively book she explores the fall-out from that fandom and how, or if, we can hold people to account whilst loving them at the same time. 
   
  Why do famous musicians mean so much to us? How does the pop culture machine both mirror and magnify the worst aspects of human nature? Why is it so hard to accept that the people we love, famous or not, are capable of doing terrible things? 
   
  As debates rage on about abusive public figures, Kisuule asks not just if we should separate the art from the artist, but how this moral conundrum informs the way we shape our relationships, families and notions of social justice. Witty, poetic and with references to R. Kelly, Britney Spears and a host of other famous faces, Neverland is both an ardent love letter to the music we love and an unflinching look at the costs of hero worship.

  The Founding Emperors of Rome laid the groundwork for the Roman Empire, marking a shift from the Roman Republic to imperial rule. Augustus, Tiberius, and Caligula stand as the pivotal figures in this transformation, each shaping the empire in distinct ways. 
  Augustus, born Gaius Octavius, was the first emperor and one of the most successful leaders in Roman history. His reign, from 27 BCE to 14 CE, ushered in the Pax Romana, a period of relative peace and prosperity. Augustus was not only a military genius but also a skilled politician who effectively consolidated power. By presenting himself as the restorer of the Roman Republic, he maintained a delicate balance between autocratic rule and the preservation of traditional republican institutions. Augustus implemented numerous reforms, including the establishment of a professional standing army and a system of taxation that stabilized the empire’s finances. His legacy is marked by the expansion of Roman territory and the establishment of Rome as the center of the ancient world. 
  Following Augustus, his stepson Tiberius became emperor in 14 CE. Tiberius' reign is often seen as a contrast to Augustus. While Augustus sought to maintain the image of republican values, Tiberius became increasingly reclusive and suspicious, particularly in the later years of his reign. His reign was marked by significant military achievements, including the consolidation of Rome’s frontiers in Germania and the Balkans, but his reign was also tainted by political purges and a growing atmosphere of distrust. Tiberius left the throne to his adopted son Caligula, but the political instability and paranoia of his reign would have lasting consequences on the empire.

  Trout Water - A Year on the Au...

  It's the beginning of trout fishing season, and Josh Greenberg—proprietor of one of the nation's most famous fishing outfitters, on America's most iconic trout-fishing stream, the Au Sable River in Michigan—is standing in the Au Sable at dusk when he gets the call that a dear fishing buddy has died. 
   
   
   
  The solace he takes from fishing—from reading the movement of the river water, studying the play of the light, and relying on his knowledge of insect and fish life—prompts him to reflect on the impact of the natural world on his life in his fisherman's journal. 
   
   
   
  Over the course of a year, the journal transcends fishing notes to include some beautifully lyrical nature writing, entertaining stories of the big one that got away, cheerful introspection about a love that's hard to explain, and yes, a tip or two. 
   
   
   
  Eventually, Josh Greenberg realizes he hasn't been all alone in the woods, not really. Much of his relationship with his family and friends has played out on the river. And as he catches—and releases—trout after trout back into one of the most beautiful rivers in America, Greenberg comes to help us realize, too, that there's more to fishing than catching fish.
