  As an Emergency Medicine consultant in one of the busiest departments in the United Kingdom, Dr. Jonny Acheson loved his job. Fueled by adrenaline, he treated and cared for some of the sickest patients who came through the doors. 
   
  In 2016, when he was forty-one, he was diagnosed with Parkinson's, a progressive neurological condition for which there is no cure. 
   
  He found it increasingly difficult to multitask in his fast-paced world. The environment that he thrived in made his symptoms worse. Parkinson's challenged his professional identity as an emergency doctor, and he didn't know what to do. 
   
  When Your Neurons Dance is about how he is adapting over time with support around him—how he looked to the past to help him in the present, embracing change as new doors opened both inside and outside medicine. 
   
  Ultimately as a doctor practicing with Parkinson's, he found a way to give back, despite a condition that always takes away.

  The Secret History

  Procopius

  A scandalous and vengeful cult favorite of the Byzantine Empire.
   
  Procopius held a position of esteem in Justinian’s empire as an advisor to the military commander Belisarius. He even wrote the official histories of Justinian’s military conquests, lauding both the emperor and his commander. But secretly… Procopius hated them both, so he wrote Anecdota, later known as Secret History, in private.
   
  Published a thousand years after it was written, Secret History labels Justinian as a demonic figure and a despot and takes huge shots at him, Belisarius, and both of their wives, Theodora and Antonina. This book was suppressed and hidden for hundreds of years because of its capacity to throw the whole empire into disarray, but it was eventually found in its full form in the Vatican Library and then published in 1623.
   
  Filled with explosive revelations and the smart and sardonic voice of Procopius, Secret History will appeal equally to armchair historians and those just looking for a Byzantine way to throw an insult.

  River Songs - Moments of Wild...

  River Songs is rich with bracing, authentic, generous stories—writing that revels in language and spirit. Avoiding most of fly fishing's clichés—the romantic elegies, the Moby-Dick-like conquests, the play-by-play detailing a "victory" over a fish—Steve Duda instead offers pieces that breathe lived experience, reveal vulnerabilities, and convey a broad perspective of what it means to have "a long run with a tight crew." Duda is interested in what has been learned out there on the river: what is it about this "ridiculous activity" that connects us to this planet, makes us human, gives us hope? 
   
   
   
  River Songs focuses on the in-between moments and the unexpected revelations—awe, fear, frustration, doubt, joy—that are as much a part of fishing as tying knots and chucking flies. Listeners ride along with Duda in battered pickup trucks, fish "between jobs," look longingly at unfished famous rivers while touring with a country-punk band, and wonder how a fishing trip led to getting a tooth pulled while being surrounded by trash-talking friends. They will find beauty, discovery, heartbreak, good dogs, and the wonder of nature within the expanse of Northwest landscapes and beyond.

  The Unseen Path

  Life doesn’t ask if we’re ready. 
  It simply happens and then it watches what we do next. 
  I was born blind, and from the beginning, the world carried quiet expectations about how small my life should remain. But I refused that script. 
  The Unseen Path is not a dramatic tale of overcoming disability in a single moment. It is the honest journey of learning to live, grow, and keep moving forward through challenges that were physical, social, and deeply human. 
  My world was shaped by sound, touch, and memory. And when life demanded more than courage, I answered with discipline, faith, and relentless effort. 
  This memoir follows the defining moments of my life from early struggles in a society that often mistakes disability for weakness, to my fight for equal opportunity in institutions that were not built for accessibility. I stood up for my education not as a favor, but as a right. That legal battle was never just about admission it was about dignity. 
  Yet this story is not written in anger or self-pity. It is an invitation into a life where obstacles keep coming, but the spirit remains steady. 
  Just when things seem to settle, the journey turns again into vulnerable seasons of illness, surgeries, and uncertainty. These chapters remind us of a truth we often avoid: anything can change, without warning. 
  The Unseen Path shows what it means to face pain without losing hope, fear without surrendering, and uncertainty without collapsing. 
  This memoir does not claim heroism. It simply tells the truth: life can be unfair and unpredictable but we can still choose our response. 
  If you have ever felt unseen, underestimated, or exhausted from fighting quietly, this book will feel personal. It won’t promise life becomes easier but it will remind you that you can become stronger. 
  Because sometimes, the greatest victory is not winning. 
  It is simply continuing.

  This Is My New Foundation: A Memoir of Loss, Faith, and Redemption — Based on a True Story 
  When life collapses without warning, what do you build from the rubble? 
  This Is My New Foundation is the powerful true story of Bill Bailey, a man shattered by crisis, grief, and the quiet devastations no one sees coming, and the extraordinary journey that led him from breaking point to breakthrough. 
  From the hard-edged streets of Detroit to the disciplined halls of West Point, from the chaos of military service to the loneliness of personal loss during the COVID-19 pandemic, Bailey’s path is marked by struggle, resilience, and the fierce will to keep going. What looked like the end became the beginning of something transformative: a testament to survival, faith, and the unshakeable strength found only when everything else falls away. 
  Told with honesty, humility, and a steady undercurrent of hope, this memoir resonates with anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed by circumstance or overlooked in their own story. Bailey shows us that pain can be a teacher, faith can be a blueprint, and healing can begin, even in silence. 
  This book is a reminder for all who are searching, rebuilding, or trying to rise again: 
  You don’t rebuild with bricks. 
   You rebuild with truth, faith, and a new foundation.
