To be a hero means protecting others at great personal risk because it’s the right thing to do. “Since September 11, 2001,” Norman writes, “people have been speaking about firefighters as ‘America’s Heroes.’ I truly believe they are heroes in the classical sense of the word.” \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRenowned for combining compelling storytelling with industry-standard tactical training, Norman offers an unparalleled look into the modern history of America’s fire service from a front-row seat. This is a celebration of the best in public service, its sacrifices and triumphs, and the people who were there, who will insist with uncommon humility, “I was just doing my job.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeptember 11th \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVacants \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeing “Broken In” \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Death of a Building (and a Neighborhood) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFather’s Day on the Pier \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHarlem, USA \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Major Deegan Expressway \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRailroad Pizza \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI’ll Make You a Detective! \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Southside \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Tree Grows in Brooklyn \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlight 5050 \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSome Really Important Steps \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Winter Offensive \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMy Turn to Be Schooled \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe What If’s? \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKingston Is Not Just in the Caribbean \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Troy Avenue Boys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Soundest Sleeper You Ever Met! \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Thirsty Corrections Officer \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSometimes, I’d Rather Be Lucky Than Good \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOnly the Lucky Ones Get to Retire! \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn Unusual Smile \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e“Precious” \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlanes… Something That Big Isn’t Supposed to Move, Let Alone Fly! \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen You’ve Got a Great Act, Take It to Broadway! \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30 Rock \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCall the Veterinarians \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePopes, Presidents, and Other Assorted Dignitaries \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eV.I.B.s—Very Important Buildings \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHarlem II \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe World Trade Center \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Rebirth \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PennWell Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52195342713175,"sku":"9781593704346","price":33.11,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781593704346.jpg?v=1763647185","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/working-with-giants-9781593704346","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
