Seraphim Sky

By: Jonathan T. Malay

Seraphim Sky is a fast-moving mystical adventure of sea, space, and the human spirit. In 1985, before the Space Shuttles Challenger and Columbia were tragically lost, Mike St. Pierre, a Navy intelligence officer and NASA astronaut, reaches beyond himself. He and his crewmates nearly lose their lives in space and yet this allows him an experience of flight that transcends his own body and the Earth. In the far reaches of the universe, in the depth of his own soul, and in the love of a tragically sad but beautiful woman, Mike finds answers to the mysteries of the universe, feels the presence of God-and discovers the true meaning of love. Action, intrigue, and romance will take you with Mike into his dreams and out with him on the most fascinating journey you've ever experienced.

American Beasts

Perspectives on Animals, Animality and U.S. Culture, 1776–1920

By: Roman Bartosch,Keridiana Chez,Brigitte Fielder,Katherine C. Grier,Andrew Howe,Michael Malay,Neill Matheson,Dominik Ohrem,Olaf Stieglitz,Aimee Swenson

In American history, animals are everywhere. They are a ubiquitous presence in myriad historical, literary, biographical, scientific and other documents and narratives of the American past – a past that, just like the present, was shaped by a multiplicity of relations between humans and other creatures ranging from coexistence and conviviality to hostility, subjugation and extermination. While such quintessentially American species as the bison, the mustang or the grizzly continue to roam the discursive, imaginary and, now to a much lesser degree, the geographical spaces of the nation, the less iconic creatures of civilization – the various species of domesticated working and companion animals – have arguably played an even more critical role in the genesis of modern American culture and society throughout the 'long nineteenth century.' Until recently, however, despite their ubiquity in historical documents, social relations and cultural productions, animals have rarely been of serious interest to mainstream historians. American Beasts argues that an adequate understanding of American history, and indeed of 'human' history more broadly, requires a sustained engagement with its multifaceted more-than-human dimensions. The contributions collected here offer various insights into the broad relevance of animality and human-animal relations – from the culture of pet-keeping and the role of animals and animality in the context of slavery and abolition to the emergence of animal athletes at the turn of the twentieth century – as aspects that have always influenced all areas of American society. In addition, by highlighting the ways in which human-animal relations crucially shaped the relations (of power) between different groups of humans, American Beasts shows that a stronger concern with animals and animality also allows us to address the complex intersections between the history of human-animal relations and the histories of (for example) race, class and gender in the United States in the time from the early national period to the Progressive Era.

War in Our Wake

The Untold Story of the Last American Military Presence of the Vietnam War

By: Jonathan Malay

Three days after the last Marine Corps helicopter lifted off from Saigon, the author and his Navy shipmates became the very last American military presence of the Vietnam War. This is their untold story, the important final chapter in the history of that wars bitter end. When, as a newly commissioned officer, Jonathan Malay and his shipmates on the U.S. Navy destroyer USS Benjamin Stoddert (DDG-22) sailed away from Vietnamese coastal waters on May 3, 1975, they became the last American military presence of the Vietnam War. He tells their story in a gripping personal narrative that includes history, adventure, a love story, and the tale of a bold humanitarian action that saved over a hundred and fifty lives. A sea story at its core, the author colorfully captures the feelings of the period, describing the demands of life at sea and the excitement of visits to exotic ports in the western Pacific and Indian oceans at the same time a tragic end to the war was becoming inevitable. Finally, in telling the harrowing tale of the ships operations in Vietnams coastal waters as Saigon fell, he draws from multiple sources ranging from the ships terse deck log entries to the passion of his letters sent home to his wife in Hawaii. This book reveals not just what the author saw, but how he felt about leaving the War in Our Wake.
