Blessing of the Lost Girls: A Brady and Walker Family Novel by J. A Jance https://amzn.to/3tzcdDo From J. A. Jance’s New York Times bestselling Brady and Walker novels, federal investigator Dan Pardee, Brandon Walker’s son-in-law, crosses paths with Sheriff Joanna Brady as he traces the bloody path of a merciless serial killer across the Southwest in this intense thriller. Driven by a compulsion that challenges his self-control, the man calling himself Charles Milton prowls the rodeo circuit, hunting young women. He chooses those he believes are the most vulnerable, wandering alone and distracted, before he strikes. For years, he has been meticulous in his methods, abducting, murdering, and disposing of his victims while leaving no evidence of his crimes—or their identities—behind. Indigenous women have become his target of choice, knowing law enforcement’s history of ignoring their disappearances. A cold case has just been assigned to Dan Pardee, a field officer with the newly formed Missing and Murdered Indigenous People’s Task Force. Rosa Rios, a young woman of Apache descent and one-time rodeo star, vanished three years ago. Human remains, a homicide victim burned beyond recognition, were discovered in Cochise County around the time she went missing. They have finally been confirmed to be Rosa. With Sheriff Joanna Brady’s help, Dan is determined to reopen the case and bring long-awaited justice to Rosa’s family. As the orphaned son of a murdered indigenous woman, he feels an even greater, personal obligation to capture this killer. Joanna’s daughter Jennifer is also taking a personal interest in this case, having known Rosa from her own amateur rodeo days. Now a criminal justice major, she’s unofficially joining the investigation. And as it becomes clear that Rosa was just one victim of a serial killer, both Jennifer and Dan know they’re running out of time to catch an elusive predator who’s proven capable of getting away with murder.

Seeing Others: How Recognition Works―and How It Can Heal a Divided World by Michèle Lamont https://amzn.to/3PVRmBB Acclaimed Harvard sociologist makes the case for reexamining what we value to prioritize recognition—the quest for respect—in an age that has been defined by growing inequality and the obsolescence of the American dream. In this capstone work, Michèle Lamont unpacks the power of recognition—rendering others as visible and valued—by drawing on nearly forty years of research and new interviews with young adults, and with cultural icons and change agents who intentionally practice recognition—from Nikole Hannah Jones and Cornel West to Michael Schur and Roxane Gay. She shows how new narratives are essential for everyone to feel respect and assert their dignity. Decades of neoliberalism have negatively impacted our sense of self-worth, up and down the income ladder, just as the American dream has become out of reach for most people. By prioritizing material and professional success, we have judged ourselves and others in terms of self-reliance, competition, and diplomas. The foregrounding of these attributes of the upper-middle class in our values system feeds into the marginalization of workers, people of color, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and minority groups. The solution, Lamont argues, is to shift our focus towards what we have in common while actively working to recognize the diverse ways one can live a life. Building on Lamont’s lifetime of expertise and revelatory connections between broad-ranging issues, Seeing Others delivers realistic sources of hope: By reducing stigma, we put change within reach. Just as Robert Putnam’s Bowling Alone did for a previous generation, Seeing Others strikes at the heart of our modern struggles and illuminates an inclusive path forward with new ways for understanding our world.

Great Hands, Great Life!: Why Proper Hand Exercise Must Be Part of Your Life by Dr. Terry Zachary https://amzn.to/3turzsK Proper hand muscle training is essential. Therapists, trainers, grip athletes, musicians, workers, esport athletes, computer users, hobbyists & general population: What if we have been training hand muscles & grip wrong for decades? Or always? Could this entire fitness area have been misunderstood for so long? What health & performance costs have resulted? Could the hand muscles be a connection to general health, life vibrancy & life longevity? Could imbalanced hand muscles negatively affect the fingers, thumbs, wrists, carpal tunnels, forearms & elbows? Turns out the answer to ALL of these questions is… YES! Dr. Terry Zachary has been studying & training hand muscles & grip mechanics for over 25 years. He was inspired by witnessing rampant repetitive grip injuries (RGI’s) while playing professional golf on mini-tours throughout USA & Canada in the mid-90’s. Combine that experience with 10 years of private practise as a sports & family chiropractor & many questions about standard ‘squeeze-only’ hand exercise were brought to question. Dr. Zachary had especially been ‘woken up’ to the importance of hand exercise via studying elbow & wrist injuries in professional golfers, a pervasive problem. Most every study and expert pinned the blame on wrist extensor tendonitis as the root cause of tennis elbow. Dr. Zachary disagreed strongly. He studied the principles of grip & developed the term ‘kinetic chain of grip’ to explain how forearm muscles contract to support wrist position during grip, grasp or finger action & how the finger extensor muscles in turn contract to support finger flexor muscles. In the kinetic chain of grip, the finger extensor muscles are constantly contracting. The main finger extensor muscles attach at the lateral epicondyle & are thus a factor in most, if not all, tennis elbow cases. Dr. Zachary further explored the common presence of imbalanced hand muscles in relation to finger, thumb, wrist, carpal tunnel, forearm & elbow breakdown. He recognized a poor posture parallel of the hand muscles; but the training & rebalancing took too long, was confusing & used too many tools. And each tool did not move the hands naturally through full, 3-dimensional ranges of motion (ROMs). A close friend who was travelling with Dr. Zachary as a professional golfer developed tennis elbow & Dr. Zachary responded by developing what is now Handmaster Plus. Handmaster Plus made complete hand & grip exercise easy & convenient for the masses, coupling multiple exercises into few, eliminating the need for multiple resistance items. The ‘HC/HO Exercise,’ the ‘Figure 8 Exercise’ and the ‘Finger Tip Grip Exercise’ have become common exercises in NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, PGA, ATP circles as well as in amateur grip sports, music, workplace ergonomics, esports, computers & hobby. ‘Great Hands, Great Life!’ explains general hand muscle layout & function, & illustrates well how imbalanced hand muscles affect the stability of all upper extremity structures from the elbow to finger & thumb tips. He gives exercises that are easy-to-do so that each user’s grip is balanced & the kinetic chain of grip is solid & stable. Dr. Zachary reviews dozens of studies in the book that relate hand exercise to numerous disease conditions, even to the extent of multiple famous studies that draw direct correlations between grip strength & life longevity. Dr. Zachary also illustrates how proper hand exercise stimulates maximum circulation that likely affects the whole body. Hand exercise improves lymph flow, in turn stimulating lymphatic duct drainage, a key to removing toxins from the head, neck, body and brain. We have ignored hand exercise for far too long. Dr. Zachary teaches us that we need to rethink the importance of the hands if we expect high performance, low risk of injury, & a long life. ‘Great Hands, Great Life!’ is an easy read for all. Experts can absorb. Lay people are encouraged to skip when so moved. Everyone learns! Everyone benefits! Win! Win!

Jon Pethke, CEO and Co-Founder of CoyAmore, The Dating App for Introverts Coyamore.com Here are some key points from the podcast transcript: Guest John Pethke is the founder of CoyAmore, a new dating app designed for introverts. Many existing apps can be overwhelming for introverts with constant notifications/messages. CoyAmore aims to provide a calmer experience. The app has a unique matching algorithm based on users’ ranked love languages to find good compatibility. One novel feature for introverts is a toggle for indicating interest in a date without having to directly ask the person. As a first-time entrepreneur, Pethke has learned business is a rollercoaster – do thorough research and have patience. Marketing is very hard for dating apps – connecting with communities and gaining word-of-mouth are crucial. Dating app challenges include fake profiles, excessive filtering in photos, people seeking attention not relationships. New solutions could help. Direct human interaction is fading from society with technology/busyness; shared activities like meals build bonds. CoyAmore aims to help introverts date in a less overwhelming way. Thoughtful matching and features catered to them aim to provide a calmer experience. In summary, CoyAmore is a dating app experiment seeking to solve common problems for introverts through smart design. Its founder hopes to facilitate more real dating and human connection.

White House Wild Child: How Alice Roosevelt Broke All the Rules and Won the Heart of America by Shelley Fraser Mickle https://amzn.to/3Q78PID The fascinating historical biography of America’s most memorable first daughter, Alice Roosevelt, whose free spirit and status made her the Princess Diana and Jackie O of the early 20th century. Perfect for readers of female-centric biographies like The Daughters of Yalta and for fans of the glitzy drama of The Gilded Age and The Crown. “I can do one of two things, I can be President of the United States or I can control Alice. I cannot possibly do both.”—Theodore Roosevelt During Theodore Roosevelt’s presidency—from 1901 to 1909, when Mark Twain called him the most popular man in America—his daughter Alice Roosevelt mesmerized the world with her antics and beauty. Alice was known for carrying a gun, a copy of the Constitution, and a green snake in her purse. When her father told her she couldn’t smoke under his roof, she climbed to the top of the White House and smoked on the roof. She became the most famous woman in America—and even the world—predating Princess Diana and Jackie Kennedy as an object of public obsession. As her celebrity grew, she continued to buck tradition, push against social norms, and pull political sway behind the curtain of privilege and access. She was known for her acerbic wit and outspoken tendencies which hypnotized both the social and political world. Brilliantly researched and powerfully told, Shelley Fraser Mickle places the reader in the time and place of Alice and asks what would it have been like to be a strong-willed powerful woman of that day. Drawn from primary and secondary sources, Alice’s life comes into focus in this historical celebration of an extraordinary woman ahead of her time.

Why We Love Baseball: A History in 50 Moments by Joe Posnanski https://amzn.to/46EEbM5 NEW YORK TIMES bestseller WALL STREET JOURNAL bestseller #1 New York Times bestselling author Joe Posnanski is back with a masterful ode to the game: a countdown of 50 of the most memorable moments in baseball’s history, to make you fall in love with the sport all over again. Posnanski writes of major moments that created legends, and of forgotten moments almost lost to time. It’s Willie Mays’s catch, Babe Ruth’s called shot, and Kirk Gibson’s limping home run; the slickest steals; the biggest bombs; and the most triumphant no-hitters. But these are also moments raw with the humanity of the game, the unheralded heroes, the mesmerizing mistakes drenched in pine tar, and every story, from the immortal to the obscure, is told from a unique perspective. Whether of a real fan who witnessed it, or the pitcher who gave up the home run, the umpire, the coach, the opposing player—these are fresh takes on moments so powerful they almost feel like myth. Posnanski’s previous book, The Baseball 100, portrayed the heroes and pioneers of the sport, and now, with his trademark wit, encyclopedic knowledge, and acute observations, he gets at the real heart of the game. From nineteenth-century pitchers’ duels to breaking the sport’s color line in the ’40s, all the way to the greatest trick play of the last decade and the slide home that became a meme, Posnanski’s illuminating take allows us to rediscover the sport we love—and thought we knew. Why We Love Baseball is an epic that ends too soon, a one-of-a-kind love letter to the sport that has us thrilled, torn, inspired, and always wanting more. About the author Joe Posnanski is the New York Times bestselling author of Paterno, The Machine, and The Secret of Golf. He is currently the founder and editor of Joe Blogs at JoePosnanski.com as well as co-host of “The PosCast” podcast with television producer Michael Schur. Joe served as Senior Writer for The Athletic, MLB, NBC Sports, and Sports Illustrated, and co-founder of Passions in America.

Elemental: How Five Elements Changed Earth’s Past and Will Shape Our Future by Stephen Porder https://amzn.to/3tmL1Yo An ecologist explores how life itself shapes Earth using the elemental constituents we all share It is rare for life to change Earth, yet three organisms have profoundly transformed our planet over the long course of its history. Elemental reveals how microbes, plants, and people used the fundamental building blocks of life to alter the climate, and with it, the trajectory of life on Earth in the past, present, and future. Taking readers from the deep geologic past to our current era of human dominance, Stephen Porder focuses on five of life’s essential elements―hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus. He describes how single-celled cyanobacteria and plants harnessed them to wildly proliferate across the oceans and the land, only to eventually precipitate environmental catastrophes. He then brings us to the present, and shows how these elements underpin the success of human civilization, and how their mismanagement threatens similarly catastrophic unintended consequences. But, Porder argues, if we can learn from our world-changing predecessors, we can construct a more sustainable future. Blending conversational storytelling with the latest science, Porder takes us deep into the Amazon, across fresh lava flows in Hawaii, and to the cornfields of the American Midwest to illuminate a potential path to sustainability, informed by the constraints imposed by life’s essential elements and the four-billion-year history of life on Earth.

The Dillon Era: Douglas Dillon in the Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Johnson Administrations by Richard Aldous https://amzn.to/46fXMmc C. Douglas Dillon – heir to a vast investment banking fortune, and one of the richest men in America during his political career – was a Republican who served in a Democratic administration and became one of the greatest modern treasury secretaries. He believed in bipartisanship and public duty, a sensibility that has all but faded from the current political climate. With exclusive access to the family’s archive, in The Dillon Era Richard Aldous sets fresh eyes on a well-documented period in recent American history, unfolding a deeply influential but somewhat overlooked political career. In 1953 President Eisenhower appointed Dillon as ambassador to Paris, and he promoted him to second in command in the State Department in 1958. Tapped by Presidents Kennedy and Johnson for treasury secretary to reassure Wall Street that the nation’s finances were in safe hands, Dillon would become one of President Kennedy’s closest advisors, and perhaps the only cabinet member who was a personal friend. His impact on the Kennedy and Johnson administrations was immense, not least in delivering the most comprehensive income tax cuts the nation had ever seen. Overseas he worked to sustain political cooperation as the Bretton Woods system threatened to unravel. By the time he left office in 1965, the Washington Post recognized Dillon as “by far the best Secretary of the Treasury of the postwar period,” and European Economic Community president Walter Hallstein hailed a new “Dillon era.” Dillon advocated for evolution and reform over radicalism, and he placed the national interest above party interest. The Dillon Era throws new light on the postwar period, identifying Dillon as a pivotal figure in American policymaking during these crucial years of the Cold War.

How to Be Abe Lincoln: Seven Steps to Leading a Legendary Life by Jonathan Shapiro https://amzn.to/3RDzNJ6 More than at any time in American history, except perhaps Abe Lincoln’s own, we need his help. And not just to inspire us. Over sixty-thousand books have been written about him, and most give us the heroic Lincoln. What we need now is a book that gives us the practical Lincoln. This is that book. It shows us how to survive our dangerously fractious age, one that is too often unmoored from truth, ignorant of facts, and unwilling to do the hard work of becoming better. It is written for those who don’t just admire Lincoln but want to emulate his rational, practical approach to law, love, leadership, and life. It identifies the seven steps that made Abe Lincoln legendary and teaches you how to follow them. Written in the accessible, humorous style of Shapiro’s previous books and television shows, the book is part history and biography, part philosophy, part memoir, part James Spader rant, and like Lincoln himself, a true original. Above all, it is great storytelling, using narrative to teach and inspire. About the author Jonathan Shapiro has spent the last 16 years writing and producing some of television’s most iconic shows, including The Blacklist, The Practice, Life and Boston Legal. An Emmy, Peabody, and Humanitas Awards winner, he and David E. Kelley are the creators and executive producers of Trial, a legal thriller set to air on Amazon in 2016. In addition to his work in television, he is also the author of two recent books: the memoir “Liars, Lawyers, and the Art of Storytelling” (ABA Publishing) and the novel “Deadly Force” (Ankerwycke Press). For the last two years, he was Of Counsel for litigation at the Kirkland & Ellis law firm. Prior to writing for television, Jonathan spent a decade as a federal prosecutor and as an adjunct law professor at Loyola Law School and the University of Southern California’s Gould School of Law. He is a member and the former chairman of the California Commission on Government Economy and Efficiency, as well as the founder and director of the Public Counsel Emergency for Torture Victims. He is a graduate of Harvard University, a Rhodes Scholar at Oriel College, Oxford University, and received his law degree from the University of California, Berkeley.

Opening The Corporate Closet: Transforming Biases to Gay Advancement in Corporate America by Kevin W. Jones Consiliumcoachingllc.com There is a gay glass ceiling in corporate America that few have broken through. Why? It’s a different type of glass. It keeps openly gay employees from advancing while confining those who aren’t out to remain in their closet. If you’re out, you run up against biases that prevent gay advancement. If you’re not out, you might advance but you’re not bringing your true self along with you. With anti-LGBTQ sentiment on the rise, now more than ever, organizations can widen the opportunities for gay advancement for those both in and out of the closet, and smash that gay glass ceiling once and for all. Kevin Jones wrote this book based on the challenges he faced navigating, ultimately successfully, corporate America as a Gay man. It highlights the author’s own experiences growing up closeted in the conservative South as a Gen Xer in the 1970s and ’80s, and how those experiences influenced his early career development inside the corporate closet and later advancement once he came out. It also investigates the hidden forms of discrimination and biases ingrained in the collective mindset of straight people as well as those inside the LGBTQ+ community. Blending anecdotes from the author’s life with data from multiple sources to depict the unique complexities of life as a gay person in corporate America, he illustrates the challenges, microdecisions and microaggressions that they and their closeted peers face every day. Whether you’re gay or straight, however you identify, after reading this book, you will become more aware of your own judgments and biases, both toward yourself and those around you.

And more than this, she makes her findings relatable by examining facets of her relationship with Bella, the dog in her life. As Bella shows throughout, all dogs are good dogs, and we, as humans and dog guardians, could be doing a little bit better to get along with them and give them what they need.

Better Decisions Faster: Unshakable Confidence When You Need It Most by Paul Epstein Paulepsteinspeaks.com “Your ultimate guide to confidence and courage—one decision at a time.” —Mel Robbins, New York Times bestselling author of The Five-Second Rule and The High 5 Habit Foreword by Marshall Goldsmith Make better decisions faster with the Head + Heart = Hands Equation The average adult makes more than 35,000 decisions in a day. Most are mundane, but there are a handful that separate businesses that boom or bust, careers that succeed or fail, relationships that make it or don’t, and lives of happiness or hopelessness. These most valuable decisions (MVDs) represent the gap between a green-light life and a red-light life. In more than fifteen years as an NFL and NBA executive, Paul Epstein saw firsthand how, when faced with such an overwhelming number of decisions, even elite performers can rush to bad judgments or become paralyzed by indecision. In Better Decisions Faster, he draws from the green-light wisdom of Fortune 500 CEOs, Olympians, Shark Tank entrepreneurs, world-record holders, Ivy League professors, and Navy SEALs to reveal a revolutionary new system for maximally efficient and confident decision-making. The solve is the Head + Heart = Hands Equation—Head (mindset) + Heart (authenticity) = Hands (action)—which taps into the three most primal and powerful aspects of our humanity to tackle such MVDs as: » Strategy: A or B? » Job: stay or go? » Deal: do it or don’t? » Team: hire or fire? » Financial: invest or pass? » Time: spend on X or Y? » Relationship: in or out? You’re just moments away from making these decisions better, faster, and with unshakable confidence. The playbook is in your hands.
