From the beginning of time, there has been a struggle between men and women in their relationships and marriages. The differences between men and women, in particularly with regard to how they both act, think, and behave, is obvious to anyone. Unfortunately, in our modern world, circumstances have evolved to a point where most men, and especially for men of any wealth, power, or fame, are being unjustly vilified by women of all ages and are being blamed for every injustice that any woman has either actually endured or believes in her own mind that she has suffered. In the justice system in the United States of America, an accused individual is supposed to be considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. That is no longer the case. Men who are accused by any woman of some impropriety toward them are instantly assumed to be guilty, and their reputations, careers, financial well-being, marriages, and public status are being destroyed on a daily basis. Any accusation against any man, no matter how long ago their transgressions supposedly took place, are grounds for dragging him through the media and press in order to destroy him. The definitions of transgressions by men toward women have also been redefined by women in our society so that the mere act of speaking to any woman may now be declared a criminal act. Over the last several years, there has been the evolution of the Me Too movement by women which is allegedly intended to "empower" women to "speak out against" men who have "done them wrong" at any point in time that they can remember. In recent times, men of power and fame in our country have been accused of all sorts of evil and criminal actions against "unsuspecting and innocent" women of all ages. This book is intended for the men of the world, especially to those living in the United States, to be made aware of what they are risking in their personal and professional lives when dealing with any woman. Men need to be aware that relationships with women in our modern society are fraught with personal risk, pitfalls, and potential disaster, including the loss of their freedom. All men, from the teenage years to those of middle and old age, need to be aware of what can easily happen to them at the hands of the women that they let into their lives. Men need to understand how women can easily manipulate them and unjustly accuse them of all sorts of things. Men need to understand that any women whom they choose to become involved with are not the cute, little, innocent and naive "flowers" that they would like to believe that they are. All women become involved with men to achieve their own agenda. The "fairy tale" of living happily ever after with any woman is a "man trap."

The harrowing story of five men who were sent into a dark, airless, miles-long tunnel, hundreds of feet below the ocean, to do a nearly impossible job—with deadly results A quarter-century ago, Boston had the dirtiest harbor in America. The city had been dumping sewage into it for generations, coating the seafloor with a layer of “black mayonnaise.” Fisheries collapsed, wildlife fled, and locals referred to floating tampon applicators as “beach whistles.” In the 1990s, work began on a state-of-the-art treatment plant and a 10-mile-long tunnel—its endpoint stretching farther from civilization than the earth’s deepest ocean trench—to carry waste out of the harbor. With this impressive feat of engineering, Boston was poised to show the country how to rebound from environmental ruin. But when bad decisions and clashing corporations endangered the project, a team of commercial divers was sent on a perilous mission to rescue the stymied cleanup effort. Five divers went in; not all of them came out alive. Drawing on hundreds of interviews and thousands of documents collected over five years of reporting, award-winning writer Neil Swidey takes us deep into the lives of the divers, engineers, politicians, lawyers, and investigators involved in the tragedy and its aftermath, creating a taut, action-packed narrative. The climax comes just after the hard-partying DJ Gillis and his friend Billy Juse trade assignments as they head into the tunnel, sentencing one of them to death. An intimate portrait of the wreckage left in the wake of lives lost, the book—which Dennis Lehane calls "extraordinary" and compares with The Perfect Storm—is also a morality tale. What is the true cost of these large-scale construction projects, as designers and builders, emboldened by new technology and pressured to address a growing population’s rapacious needs, push the limits of the possible? This is a story about human risk—how it is calculated, discounted, and transferred—and the institutional failures that can lead to catastrophe. Suspenseful yet humane, Trapped Under the Sea reminds us that behind every bridge, tower, and tunnel—behind the infrastructure that makes modern life possible—lies unsung bravery and extraordinary sacrifice.

Lloyd Wescott is a big boy, and he understands that big money doesn’t smell like roses. When he’s hired to build and run the Green Oasis resort, he dosn’t know too much about the pedigree of its owner—and he doesn’t want to. He won’t ask any questions. Just as long as the place is legit and he can run it clean as a whistle. But when trouble checks in, skimming from the casino’s tills is the least of Lloyd’s concerns. The quiet elegance of the hotel lobby turns out to be crawling with contract guns. And after one look from a beautiful woman, Lloyd realizes that he’s about to get some hard answers to the questions he never asked. Features a new Introduction by Dean Koontz Praise for John D.

A gripping wilderness adventure and survival story It was getting colder. Johnny pulled the fur-lined hood of his parka over his head and walked towards his own cabin with the sound of snow crunching beneath his boots. "He should be back tomorrow," he thought, as a star raced across the sky just below the North Star. "He should be back tomorrow for sure." Seventeen-year-old Johnny Least-Weasel knows that his grandfather Albert is a stubborn old man and won't stop checking his own traplines even though other men his age stopped doing so years ago. But Albert Least-Weasel has been running traplines in the Alaskan wilderness alone for the past sixty years. Nothing has ever gone wrong on the trail he knows so well. When Albert doesn't come back from checking his traps, with the temperature steadily plummeting, Johnny must decide quickly whether to trust his grandfather or his own instincts. Written in alternating chapters that relate the parallel stories of Johnny and his grandfather, John Smelcer's The Trap poignantly addresses the hardships of life in the far north, suggesting that the most dangerous traps need not be made of steel.
