    From hunting for herbs to hunting for food, fishing, raising farm animals, canning goods, building furniture, and everything in between, discover a lifestyle that is completely counter to what many experience today. 
    Live What You Preach is a collection of essays detailing how E. Lowell Morgan and his family not only survived, but thrived, in their chosen lifestyle, triumphing over difficult times as they endeavored to live an organic, simple life, while raising a large family in a rural setting in Tennessee. 
    Many years ago, disappointment in agricultural academia drove E. Lowell Morgan to seek a different way of life, so he and his family decided to try life "off the grid," where he and his wife homeschooled their children and there wasn't much community involvement. 
    His special interests included teaching his children and history, which he tried to pass on to family. He believes all children are blessings. 
    Prior to life off the grid, Morgan was a research coordinator at Auburn University and worked in animal research. He studied hormones in meat and milk and the side effects of it, which is largely what prompted his and his family's lifesyle change.

    A machine gunner chronicles his time on the frontlines of WW2 from D-Day to the Battle of the Bulge and the Wehrmacht’s last stand. 
     
    American machine gunner Ernest “Andy” Andrews arrived in the UK just before deploying to fight in D-Day. Struck by a bullet in Normandy, he was evacuated to England before returning to participate in the race across France. Andy’s squad defended a bunker in the Siegfried Line and fought its way through the Hurtgen Forest to take Hill 232. When the Germans attempted to retake the hill, Andy faced his toughest battle and suffered a shoulder wound.  
     
    Andy rejoined his company in time to fight in the Battle of the Bulge and the Rhine campaign, and in Germany's Harz Mountains, where the Wehrmacht was trying to organize a last stand. Andy's outfit ends the war fighting in Czechoslovakia, where Andy witnesses the German surrender.  
     
    Following occupation duty, Andy returned to the States in October 1945. The war shaped Andy's postwar life in countless ways, and in 1994, Andy made the first of three return visits to the European battlefields where he had fought. This vivid firsthand account takes the reader along from Normandy to victory with Andy and his machine-gun crew.

    On October 3, 1951, the New York Giants’ Bobby Thomson hit a dramatic ninth inning game-winning home run off the Brooklyn Dodgers’ Ralph Branca at the Polo Grounds in the decisive third game of a three-game playoff to win the National League pennant. 
    It would be known in baseball lore as the "Shot Heard 'Round the World." 
    The game — the first ever televised nationally—was seen by millions of viewers across America and heard on radio by millions more, including thousands of American servicemen stationed in Korea, listening on Armed Forces Radio.

    Erik Grönwall skyrocketed to fame overnight when he won the Swedish edition of Idol in 2009. In this revealing autobiography, Erik takes us through his journey, from his childhood to the present day, sharing his struggles to break through as an artist, his devastating leukemia diagnosis, his incredible recovery, and his dedication to prioritizing his health.

This isn’t just a story about life as a rock star; it’s a book about staying true to your values and dreams, standing your ground, and always believing in yourself.  
    “I never thought I’d write an autobiography, especially at 36. But sometimes, it feels like I’ve lived two lifetimes. I believe I have something to share that could bring hope and inspiration to others who are struggling. Life after illness can be better than you ever imagined.”

    The concept of a "criminal genius" is fraught with paradoxes. On one hand, it invokes admiration for the ingenuity behind complex scams and heists, while on the other, it raises questions about morality, ethics, and the law. McCrudden’s story is one of talent gone awry, where a sharp intellect that could have achieved greatness in legitimate fields was instead channeled into subversive and illegal activities. His life forces us to grapple with uncomfortable truths about how society sometimes rewards intelligence in the wrong contexts. 
    McCrudden’s journey into the criminal world did not stem from a single, defining moment, but rather from a confluence of circumstances: a difficult childhood, an aptitude for manipulation, and a deep desire to escape the confines of a mundane life. These factors combined to shape a young person capable of thinking several steps ahead, using his intellect to outwit those around him. Yet, as McCrudden’s schemes grew more ambitious, so did the risks, and soon he found himself at the center of investigations by law enforcement agencies that had never before encountered a juvenile mastermind of his caliber.

    Formula One has long maintained a glitzy aura that masks dark and strange goings-on in the background. But with the 2019 season came a force louder than Formula One could dream of muffling: William Storey, the founder of British energy drink startup Rich Energy. 
     
     
     
    Storey became a multimillion-dollar sponsor of the Haas Formula One team a year after records showed Rich Energy having a mere $770 in the bank. He equated his doubters to moon-landing truthers and publicly mocked both the Haas team and the entities winning legal disputes against him. But where were actual cans of Rich Energy, and did the supposed sponsorship funds exist? 
     
     
     
    In the six months between Storey's first race as a Formula One sponsor and his very public exit, he stole the spotlight with a loud mouth and an active Twitter account. Haas team boss Guenther Steiner once described the Rich Energy news cycle as: "I'm getting sick of answering these stupid fucking questions on a race weekend. I've never seen any fucking thing like this." No one else had, either. This book uncovers the complete, bizarre story.
