    Saint Maur International School has sat on the bluff overlooking Yokohama, Japan since 1872. It is Japan's oldest international school and one of the oldest of its kind in the world. Historian, teacher, and author Glenn Scoggins celebrates the school's sesquicentennial with Steadfast: Saint Maur's First 150 Years on Yokohama's Bluff, presenting the fascinating, interlocking histories of Japan, Yokohama, and Saint Maur over the centuries. With a unique and idiosyncratic approach to history, Scoggins champions feminist histories, highlighting the fierce women who were foundational to the school. In the early days, there is the hopeful, steely Mother Mathilde Raclot under whose leadership and dedication the Saint Maur sisters established Saint Maur in a country where the practice of Christianity was still illegal. We also meet funny and fearless Sister Carmel O'Keefe; assigned the daunting task of overseeing the school in the immediate wake of World War II, she revives the school from the ashes and steers it into the 21st century. Having taught at Saint Maur for forty-five years, Scoggins also brings his expatriate perspective and story to the history. With its mix of primary-source material and firsthand accounts, Steadfast is expansive and intimate in its scope.

    Fighting to Be Heard is a love letter to one of the most over-engineered jet aircraft ever built: the British Aerospace 146. This regional aircraft was truly the beginning of the ?RJ? (aka Regional Jet), which has become commonplace in air travel today. Although the 146 was ahead of its time, the program, the company, and the aircraft was plagued with many challenges. As a result, the 146 became the last commercial aircraft to be built in the United Kingdom. The title signifies the uphill battle British Aerospace faced in trying to convince airlines to buy and operate the world's quietest jet.Fighting to Be Heard features stories never before printed, photographs from the archives of British Aerospace that have never been published, and interviews with a wide range of people from pilots to customer service reps, salespeople to airline executives. The author spent over four years researching and interviewing a wide range of people involved with the 146, including airlines and operators that flew this unique aircraft. He's summoned records from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) for the tragic murder in the sky of PSA flight 1771, with never before seen images of evidence derived from over 300 pages of reports and interviews.

Collected into six sections, these personal narratives explore the threats of fire, drought, development, and fracking. Char Miller is well aware of climate change and the ecological degradation developed nations are causing. From personal experiences in his Southern California neighborhood or through his travel, Char Miller explores the damage of the dominant cultures on the environment and the need to address environmental injustice.
