A bittersweet coming-of-age story that quietly bores to the essence of friendship and how it survives even as it is destined to change. “So outrageous and so true.... the book rockets along, powered by the high octane of Cohen’s candor [and] off-beat observations.” —The New York Times Book Review Raised in an affluent suburb on the North Shore of Chicago, Rich Cohen had a cluster of interesting friends, but none more interesting than Jamie Drew. Fatherless, reckless, and lower middle class in a place that wasn’t, Jamie possessed such an irresistible insouciance and charm that even the teachers called him Drew-licious. Through the high school years of parties and Cub games and girls, of summer nights on the beach and forbidden forays into the blues bars of Chicago’s notorious South Side, the two formed an inseparable bond. Even after Cohen went to college in New Orleans (Jamie went to Kansas) and then moved to New York, where he had a memorable interlude with the legendary New Yorker writer Joseph Mitchell, Jamie remained oddly crucial to his life.

P. C. Wren's 'Beau Geste - Complete Collection' is a gripping trilogy that delves into the adventures of the gallant brothers in the French Foreign Legion. The books are characterized by vivid descriptions of desert landscapes, intense battle scenes, and themes of honor, loyalty, and sacrifice. Wren's writing style is both elegant and suspenseful, keeping readers engaged from start to finish. Set against the backdrop of colonial North Africa, the trilogy offers a captivating portrayal of military life and the complexities of human behavior in times of crisis. The inclusion of 'Good Gestes' further enriches the collection with additional stories of camaraderie and bravery among the legionnaires. The intricate plot twists and character development make this collection a timeless classic in adventure literature. P. C. Wren's personal experiences as a former British Army officer inspired him to write about the valor and brotherhood depicted in 'Beau Geste.' His firsthand knowledge of military life adds depth and authenticity to the narrative, enhancing the reader's immersion in the world of the French Foreign Legion. I highly recommend 'Beau Geste - Complete Collection' to readers who appreciate thrilling tales of courage, sacrifice, and camaraderie, as well as those interested in military history and adventure fiction.

Beau Lotto, the world-renowned neuroscientist, entrepreneur, and two-time TED speaker, takes us on a tour of how we perceive the world, and how disrupting it leads us to create and innovate. Perception is the foundation of human experience, but few of us understand why we see what we do, much less how. By revealing the startling truths about the brain and its perceptions, Beau Lotto shows that the next big innovation is not a new technology: it is a new way of seeing. In his first major book, Lotto draws on over two decades of pioneering research to explain that our brain didn't evolve to see the world accurately. It can't! Visually stunning, with entertaining illustrations and optical illusions throughout, and with clear and comprehensive explanations of the science behind how our perceptions operate, Deviate will revolutionize the way you see yourself, others and the world. With this new understanding of how the brain functions, Deviate is not just an illuminating account of the neuroscience of thought, behavior, and creativity: it is a call to action, enlisting readers in their own journey of self-discovery.
