James Bamford has been the preeminent expert on the National Security Agency since his reporting revealed the agency’s existence in the 1980s. Now Bamford describes the transformation of the NSA since 9/11, as the agency increasingly turns its high-tech ears on the American public. The Shadow Factory reconstructs how the NSA missed a chance to thwart the 9/11 hijackers and details how this mistake has led to a heightening of domestic surveillance. In disturbing detail, Bamford describes exactly how every American’s data is being mined and what is being done with it. Any reader who thinks America’s liberties are being protected by Congress will be shocked and appalled at what is revealed here.

"Uniquely Us" picks up where "Uniquely Rika" left off. We are given first-hand insight into the experiences of eight couples with varied relationship styles, D/s interests, and gender preferences. We see how they applied Ms. Rika's "Dominant-centric" approach to their long-termed, committed relationships. Ms. Rika invites us into her world. The personal stories in "Uniquely Us" come from people with whom Rika has had direct influence: as a mentor, advisor, and as a dominant. Through the accounts of Robbie, Jen, Liz and John, Rhonda and Karl, Sean and David, Jeremy and Sarah, Lia and Jessica, and Melanie and Paolo, Rika encourages the reader to recognize similarities to their own path and find insights to how they might apply her approach to their own lifestyles.

Dear Black Girls is a letter to all Black girls. Every day poet and educator Shanice Nicole is reminded of how special Black girls are and of how lucky she is to be one. Illustrations by Kezna Dalz support the book's message that no two Black girls are the same but they are all special--that to be a Black girl is a true gift. In this celebratory poem, Kezna and Shanice remind young readers that despite differences, they all deserve to be loved just the way they are.
