In 1958, Edward Teller, father of the H-bomb, unveiled his plan to detonate six nuclear bombs off the Alaskan coast to create a new harbor. However, the plan was blocked by a handful of Eskimos and biologists who succeeded in preventing massive nuclear devastation potentially far greater than that of the Chernobyl blast. The Firecracker Boys is a story of the U.S. government's arrogance and deception, and the brave people who fought against it-launching America's environmental movement. As one of Alaska's most prominent authors, Dan O'Neill brings to these pages his love of Alaska's landscape, his skill as a nature and science writer, and his determination to expose one of the most shocking chapters of the Nuclear Age.
Viral mom blogger Brooke Binkley tells her painful story about the domestic violence she endured while simultaneously becoming a public figure and uses her story to highlight the many types of domestic violence that both victims and survivors experience. On the outside, Brooke was the funny vlogger making moms laugh across the world, but behind closed doors she was experiencing nearly every form of domestic violence that existed. In this painful memoir, she shares her experience with domestic violence and how she planned for six weeks to ultimately escape the abuse. From her first domestic violence-related hospital visit to post-separation abuse, stalking and harassment, Brooke describes what it's like to be the victim of domestic violence- the leading cause of injury to women- more than car accidents, muggings, and rapes combined. This book answers the nagging question: "How did someone once described as a 'Firecracker' become a victim of physical, financial, emotional and sexual abuse?" and "Why did she stay?" Praise for Firecracker "In baring her soul through the telling of her most traumatic experiences, Brooke Binkley has offered healing to so many. As she bravely walks us through her nightmare with domestic abuse, she lays out the 'hows' and 'whys' of how it all happened and, in doing so, offers answers to those who still might not know how they themselves were ever taken in. There is solidarity in knowing you are not alone and through 'Firecracker,' Brooke, shines peace and light into the darkness for her fellow abuse survivors. This is a must-read if you are, or know, a victim or survivor of abuse. Honestly, I believe it should be required reading in every high school Health class. Thank you, Brooke!" - Lauri Walker from "Mama Needs a Nap." "Firecracker is a heartbreaking, thoughtful, and inspiring story that shows exactly how hard it is to walk away from an abusive relationship." - Clint Edwards: bestselling author of "I'm Sorry... Love, Your Husband. "From gaslighting to stalking to excessive control to physical violence, "Firecracker" is important because it tells the entire tale--the beginning, the falling in love part, the "why she stayed" part everyone always questions, and how Brooke finally became free. "Abuse" can mean many things--and the signs are often invisible to others. Brooke Binkley's courage in telling her truth will undoubtedly help many women identify their own signs of abuse, and believe that they, too, deserve to be safe, happy, and free." - Karen Johnson from "The 21st Century SAHM." "With immense grit and vulnerability, Brooke's brave survival story is destined to bring comfort, solidarity, and inspire freedom for 'Firecrackers' everywhere who have found themselves mentally, physically, emotionally beaten down by the very person who once promised to love them most. In the face of pain, Firecracker, quite simply, is a book of glorious hope for women everywhere." - Danielle Brower, Owner & Designer, Create Hope Cuffs "Firecracker is a painful and eye-opening memoir of how one woman found herself trapped in an abusive relationship and managed to escape. It's a memoir that will make you angry; bring you to tears; and, no doubt, inspire victims." - Meredith Ethington from "Perfection Pending by Meredith Ethington."

Including 183 color and black-and-white images of vintage photos and packaging, plus values for American firecracker collectibles, this is the first book to focus on US firecrackers. Many pyrobilia guides cover Chinese firecrackers, but the US's history is just as colorful, from fireworks' inception into American celebrations as a replacement for dangerous celebratory gun and cannon fire, until the final federal ban with the Child Protection Act of 1966. Fireworks made the 4th of July the best holiday ever, for generations of boys especially. Beginning with a brief history of the firecracker and how it came to America, the book details the types the US produced a wide array, from Cherry Bombs and Silver Salutes to Ash Cans and Torpedoes. Also covered are how the US Industrial Revolution impacted fireworks, as well as the innovations throughout the American industry, from its successes to the factory disasters."
A vivid showcase of work by more than thirty of the world's leading contemporary female documentary photographers. The photographic industry - its exhibitions, galleries, publications and auctions - employs thousands of women, but champions mostly men. To begin to redress the balance, here is a timely presentation of the work of over 30 female photographers working today. This book is predominantly a celebration of some of the most inquisitive, intelligent and daring photography being created now. The stories the photographers tell are the most pressing social, political and personal issues seen through the female lens. Firecracker, established in 2011 by Fiona Rogers, is a platform dedicated to supporting female photographers worldwide by showcasing their work. Building upon Firecracker's foundations, this book brings together photography that encompasses an eclectic variety of styles, techniques and locations, from Alma Haser's futuristic series of portraits that use origami to create 3D sculptures within the frame, to Laura El-Tantawy's filmic and intensely personal series on political protest in Cairo. There is a recurring theme throughout the book that serves to unite these extraordinary women and their work: the exploration of marginalized individuals and under-discussed subjects, seen by fresh eyes. Fiona Rogers and Max Houghton offer insightful and expert authorship and curation. In their respective, well-established roles in the industry they understand, influence and advocate for contemporary documentary photography today.
