THE EPIC ROMANCE, back in print in a new revised edition! Before he was “Brad Vance,” Brad published under the name Orland Outland. “We” are pleased to make this novel available again! Cal Hewitt and Eric Hamilton grew up just across the street from each other, but far across a cultural divide. Both young men are gay, but where Eric has been raised in a happy, sunny, liberal household, Cal has grown up in a conservative, religious family for whom being gay is anathema. But their attraction to each other is not to be denied, not over the span of a decade or a continent. Their lives will intersect again and again as each lives through their own version of gay life – AIDS, drugs, activism, the pain of loss and the solace of family. This is also the story of two strong women, Carol Hewitt and Emma Hamilton. Both their journeys as mothers will take them far from where they began, far from where they expected to end up. It’s the story of families, broken and healed, the story of an era that ends with the promise of a new millennium…

So, yet another self-help/self-improvement book. Why should you even consider it? OK, here are three reasons: –First, it zeros in on some of the most common problems people have in dealing with each other. These are repetitive. The people may be different, but the problems stay the same. The 12 skills covered include: learning to be a careful listener; developing empathy for others; controlling our egos; becoming an assertive person; learning to be accountable in relating to people; respecting others; improving communication skills; stopping the “mind reading” of others; breaking away from the need to always be right in dealing with people; how to stop gossiping; not meddling in others’ lives; and becoming a more optimistic person. –Second, the topics of ego control, respect, mind reading, gossiping, meddling, and always needing to be right are rarely, if ever, found in self development books. –Finally, the book is easy to read, very practical, relatively short, and really helpful. You’ll find it to be a motivating and self-empowering read.

What is the role of the senses in how we understand the world? Cognitive sociology has long addressed the way we perceive or imagine boundaries in our ordinary lives, but Asia Friedman pushes this question further still. How, she asks, did we come to blind ourselves to sex sameness? Drawing on more than sixty interviews with two decidedly different populations—the blind and the transgendered—Blind to Sameness answers provocative questions about the relationships between sex differences, biology, and visual perception. Both groups speak from unique perspectives that magnify the social construction of dominant visual conceptions of sex, allowing Friedman to examine the visual construction of the sexed body and highlighting the processes of social perception underlying our everyday experience of male and female bodies. The result is a notable contribution to the sociologies of gender, culture, and cognition that will revolutionize the way we think about sex.
