  Healing Politics - A Doctor’s...

  A child of immigrants, Abdul El-Sayed grew up feeling a responsibility to help others. He threw himself into the study of medicine and excelled—winning a Rhodes Scholarship, earning two advanced degrees, and landing a tenure-track position at Columbia University. At age thirty, he became the youngest city health official in America, tasked with rebuilding Detroit’s health department after years of austerity policies. 
  But El-Sayed found himself disillusioned. He could heal the sick—even build healthier and safer communities—but that wouldn’t address the social and economic conditions causing illness in the first place. So he left health for politics, running for governor of Michigan and earning the support of progressive champions like Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Senator Bernie Sanders. 
  In Healing Politics, El-Sayed traces the life of a young idealist, weaving together powerful personal stories and fascinating forays into history and science. Marrying his unique perspective with the science of epidemiology, El-Sayed diagnoses an underlying epidemic afflicting our country, an epidemic of insecurity. And to heal the rifts this epidemic has created, he lays out a new direction for the progressive movement. This is a bold, personal, and compellingly original book from a prominent young leader.

  This is a book about ocean racing – a personal view of the events and an account of one of the most successful individual records ever made by a designer and skipper. In 1965 Dick Carter was a good skipper, but an unknown designer. His first design was Rabbit, which Sandy Weld helped launch, tune and race. They won the Fastnet Race in its first season and Dick Carter grew an international reputation. The Leading Edge depicts the intense competition of crews dedicated to winning and the camaraderie and enthusiasm of those who participate in this demanding sport. It is an appreciation of Dick Carter's designs and his skill as a skipper. It is also the story of the extraordinary success of his first design, Rabbit, and the next three designs he skippered: Tina, Rabbit II and Red Rooster – the latter which also won the Fastnet Race and the Admiral's Cup. Weld's racing experience provides a fascinating account that will be of considerable use to the sailor and of absorbing interest to those who follow the sport.
