The Kid: What Happened After My Boyfriend and I Decided to Go Get Pregnant
Best known for his syndicated sexual advice column, "Savage Love," Dan Savage shares his own story in The Kid, a hilarious account of his efforts--along with his partner--to adopt a child. (Whoops, make that his boyfriend; Savage can't stand the "genderless" P-word: "Straight people and press organs that want to acknowledge gay relationships while at the same time pushing the two-penises stuff as far out of their minds as possible love 'partner.' I hated it.") Savage doesn't give an inch on the sexuality issue; it's hard to imagine that a homophobic reader would even pick up The Kid, but if it happened, Savage's unapologetic presentation of his life would quickly scare that reader off. Which isn't to say that he paints a rosy picture of homosexual cohabitation: the very first scene finds Dan's boyfriend, Terry, locking himself in the bathroom after a fight over the music on the car stereo. The misadventures continue through each step of the open-adoption process, in which Dan and Terry get to know their baby's birth mother, and the first few weeks of parenthood. The Kid is a wonderful, charming account of real "family values" that proves love knows no limits. .

Men of Fire: Grant, Forrest, and the Campaign That Decided the Civil War
Deep in the winter of 1862, on the border between Kentucky and Tennessee, two extraordinary military leaders faced each other in an epic clash that would transform them both and change the course of American history forever Brigadier General Ulysses S. Grant had no significant military successes to his credit. He was barely clinging to his position within the Union Army-he had been officially charged with chronic drunkenness only days earlier, and his own troops despised him. His opponent was as untested as he was: an obscure lieutenant colonel named Nathan Bedford Forrest. Forrest was a slaveholder, Grant a closet abolitionist-but the two men held one thing in common: an unrelenting desire for victory at any cost. After ten days of horrific battle, Grant emerged victorious. He had earned himself the nickname “Unconditional Surrender” for his fierce prosecution of the campaign, and immediately became a hero of the Union Army. Forrest retreated, but he soon re-emerged as a fearsome war machine and guerrilla fighter. His reputation as a brilliant and innovative general survives to this day. But Grant had already changed the course of the Civil War. By opening the Tennessee and Cumberland rivers to the Union Army, he had split Dixie in two. The confederacy would never recover. A riveting account of the making of two great military leaders, and two battles that transformed America forever, Men of Fire is destined to become a classic work of military history. .

The Votes That Counted: How the Court Decided the 2000 Presidential Election
The struggle over the outcome of the 2000 presidential election inspired countless books, most of them hasty political critiques. However, with this book, Howard Gillman had different aims from the beginning: to create a lasting, authoritative document of the 36 days between the election and its legal resolution, to offer an accessible overview of the legal strategies and debates, and to assess the influence of politics and law on the judges who shaped the outcome of this historical controversy. .

Because That's the Way God Decided to Do It!
Benjamin Franklin once said that, in this world, nothing is certain but death and taxes. Ben must have flown his kite during a lightning storm once too often, because he left out one of the biggest certainties of all: questions from children. The world is filled with challenges and potential pitfalls. From managing money, raising children, and understanding rapidly changing technologies — to fighting wars, politics, and planning for the future — we're surrounded by stress and confusion at every turn. If you have children, you're often confronted with questions on these issues. If you're like Doug Powers, your confusion in finding an answer has led you to respond to some tough questions by simply saying, "Because That's the Way God Decided to Do It!" Because That's the Way God Decided to Do It! is about the long and often hilarious road that leads from the question, to the title answer. Join Doug as he talks to his children about the universe as he sees it — a journey beginning at home, encompassing global issues, and ending, fittingly, back home. Insightful, funny, occasionally biting, but always good-natured, Doug's conservative take on economics, politics, family, and many other issues will leave readers of any political leaning wanting more. Because That's the Way God Decided to Do It! won't solve any of the world's problems, but it will help you laugh at them..
