In The Boat Captains Conundrum, author Tom Corbett completes an intellectual journey that reflects on his four-plus decades as a scholar and doer of social policy. That journey starts with Ouch, Now I Remember in which he recounts his early days growing up in a closed, working class, ethnic community from which he underwent several transformative experiences that broadened his worldview. In Browsing Through My Candy Store, the author shared his struggles while confronting many of the most vexing poverty and welfare battles of the last half century. This final volume, the Boat Captains Conundrum, completes the trilogy. This work takes the reader on quite a different journey, a path that goes deeper into how to think about the big policy issues and social challenges of our times. In the end, Corbett makes a number of compelling points. Becoming a successful policy wonk is more than conquering the technical skills of doing quantitative analysis. It demands that we do more than merely dissect issues with analytical acumen. Rather, doing good policy work requires creativity, imagination, breadth of interests, a nimble and acquisitive mind, historical depth, and just a little rebellious risk-taking. But if you can conjure up such traits, there is no better way to spend your professional life. Follow the author as he shares his take on how to do policy work well and even make a contribution to the public good. Get inside his head as he struggled to make sense out of the more daunting social challenges of the late twentieth century. Above all, enjoy his wistful and sometimes witty wanderings as seen through a policy wonks eye where he touches upon mind-numbing conundrums with deft insight. It is a great journey to be enjoyed both by students of policy and all those concerned with public life.

The author picks up where he left off in a witty memoir of his academic and policy careers in Browsing through My Candy Store. In this equally hilarious book, Tom Corbett brings us back to the postWorld War II period, where he came of age in a rough and tumble ethnic, working-class neighborhood. From a kid who showed no promise whatsoever, he underwent a series of transformative experiences from Catholic seminary training to the leader of a left-wing college group through Peace Corps service in India. His journey of self-discovery takes us through several early endeavors, such as guarding city sewers, tending hospital patients during the graveyard shift, reaching out to desperately poor kids in a distressed neighborhood, and faking it as an agricultural guru in the deserts of Rajasthan. Somehow, despite much incompetence and self-doubt, the author used grit and charm and serendipity to fall into a fulfilling career as a respected academic and policy wonk. Ouch, Now I Remember is a story that brings you back in time, helps you laugh a bit, and recalls a lost era. The reader might even shed a tear or two.

Have you ever had that odd feeling something was about to happen, and it did? Some people call that a ‘gift’. Austin Cook has that gift. He doesn’t understand it and has tried to ignore it. As far back as he can remember, he and his family have visited his favorite uncle in Mountview, a small North Carolina town surrounded by a largely unexplored forest. For nature-loving Austin, it is an ideal place to explore the woods and learn about the forest animals that fascinate him. He loves all kinds of animals and, strangely, they have always been drawn to him. Austin has that ‘feeling’ that this trip will be much different than all the others, and it will. He and his sister, Katy, will befriend a very special forest animal who has amazing powers. The three, using Austin’s incredible gift, will unlock hidden secrets that have been buried for centuries. But there are treacherous people who want to keep those secrets hidden. Austin and Katy are vulnerable children visiting a deep and dangerous forest, and they will need to use all their powers and friendships to defend themselves if they are going to survive.

Jeremiah Joshua Connelly is about to retire from his academic position at the University of British Columbia. He anticipates a small ordinary affair of conventional speeches, farewell dinners, and the usual parting gifts and well-wishes. Instead, his past visits him in unexpected ways. He not only confronts people from the mists of a distant era he thought long lost but also accepts some truths about himself. Over the next week, Josh Connelly comes to terms with who he really is, with a past he tried to avoid, and with the people he had run away from for so long. This work takes us deep into the scars left by a war that tore the United States apart in the 1960s and which left an indelible mark on many who lived through that turbulent time. While a work of fiction, the novel touches upon the real emotions and struggles that many young people endured during this conflicted period. It explores the inner turmoil with which they contended as they fought to make sense out of competing claims upon their loyalty. This was a time where easy answers were not available, where each young man and woman who cared about this country had to arrive at their own interpretation of events. Each had to decide the contours of their personal character and for what principles they would stand. Each had to articulate their own moral compass. Tenuous Tendrils is the story of one such young man as he journeys from exile and isolation to reconnect and embrace a life he thought long lost.

"A secret brought us together. Another will destroy us." - Johan Johan For two years, I've kept a secret locked away—buried deep beneath the pressures of being a PhD student and researcher in Archaeology at Cambridge. I once harbored a harmless crush on Elise—a Dutch noblewoman who seemed like a good match—but it was her younger sister, the mesmerizing Hannah, who ultimately stole my heart. Her sharp wit, bright eyes, and infectious laughter drew me in, yet I held back—for her youth, my reputation as Elise's former crush, and the distance between us made pursuing her unthinkable. But now, Hannah is back in my life, stepping onto the hallowed grounds of Cambridge as a fresher. The once-dormant attraction reawakens with a force that threatens to unravel the careful life I've built. As she navigates her new world, long-buried secrets and forbidden desires rise to the surface, pulling us into a dangerous affair. The line between duty and longing blurs, and the stakes have never been higher. Can I hold onto the life I've built, or will Hannah’s presence push me to the brink, forcing me to risk everything for the chance at something more?
