Greg Miles: My Lucky Life
Greg Miles: My Lucky Life is a fascinating and inspirational gem of Australian horse racing literature. It digs deep into a life peppered by struggle, tears, failure, self-doubt, lucky breaks and, ultimately, supreme achievement and accolades. Melbourne-born Greg Miles called a record 36 Melbourne Cups, two more than the revered Bill Collins and three ahead of his mate and mentor Joe Brown. He also called a record 36 Cox Plates and 36 Caulfield Cups. He became known as "The Voice of Australian Racing," with the Herald Sun newspaper branding him "Calling Royalty." He called his first Melbourne Cup in 1981, aged just 22, and his last in 2016, retiring soon after at 57. He called for radio and television, starting with the ABC, then Sky Channel, Sport 927 and Racing.Com. He was also the course broadcaster at the Flemington, Caulfield, Moonee Valley and Sandown tracks. He was awarded an Order of Australia Medal in 2016 for services to racing, and is a life member of the Victoria, Melbourne and Moonee Valley Racing Clubs.
A Soul in Search of Self
Klaus Hauptmann, a young German, is in the US interviewing for a job. While he and a friend are shopping in a convenience store, he is shot by men intent on robbing the store. He is rushed to the hospital, and just as the doctor is pronouncing him dead, he suddenly and unexpectedly revives. However, he can't remember who or where he is. As he searches for his identity, he begins to realize something is wrong. He's a German, but he finds himself thinking in English, and although seeing his parents and hearing about his past life do not jog his memory at all, he does get feelings that he knows people and places in the US he shouldn't know. Eventually, with the help of friends of a man named Greg Miles, who recently died, he comes to realize that he is living with Greg's memories in the body of Klaus. The story follows Greg/Klaus as he tries to live the life of Klaus with only the memories of Greg and to deal with a surprising problem from Klaus's earlier life. And always in the background is the question, "why did this happen?"

Unlivable Lives
Anti-violence movements rooted in identity politics are commonplace, including those to stop violence against people of color, women, and LGBT people. Unlivable Lives reveals the unintended consequences of this approach within the transgender rights movement in the United States. It illustrates how this form of activism obscures the causes of and lasting solutions to violence and exacerbates fear among members of the identity group, running counter to the goal of making lives more livable. Analyzing over a thousand documents produced by thirteen national organizations, Westbrook charts both a history of the movement and a path forward that relies less on identity-based tactics and more on intersectionality and coalition building. Provocative and galvanizing, this book envisions new strategies for anti-violence and social justice movements and will revolutionize the way we think about this form of activism.
