  While aiming for the bright lights of Broadway, Elise misses her target and is instead thrown into the chaos of Mumbai, dancing in Bollywood blockbusters. The richness of India ignites a deep desire for travel, but when the sudden death of a loved one draws her home, Elise is overcome with hopelessness. Her despair transforms into an eating disorder that consumes the next five years of her youth.  
  Determined to discover her unrecognised potential, Elise makes radical changes and, amid these modifications, finds love. Six months into the romance, a simple question of; ‘Are you happy?’ leads the new couple to sell up everything and move to a sweat-soaked fitness mecca in Phuket, Thailand. It is here she is lured by the irresistible call of Mother Nature and the urge to take it outside. 
  In her introduction to large expeditions, Elise drags a cart, carrying all of her supplies, 1,800 kilometres across the Gobi Desert. Her insatiable desire to challenge herself outdoors leads to skydiving across America, kayaking 2,200 kilometres down the Murray River, climbing five separate 6,000-metre peaks in Nepal, and cycling across Australia. 
  ‘Take It Outside’ is more than just a retelling of a life; it is a rally cry to embrace the abundant opportunities presented by the great outdoors. Through her captivating tales and contagious love for the wild, Elise implores the nature lover in all of us­ to always answer when adventure calls.  
  Let your journey begin.

  Robespierre - The Architect of...

  Imagine you are sick of the government. Bureaucrats and aristocrats are constantly telling you what to do, basically enforcing a totalitarian regime. Maybe this is not so hard to imagine after what has been happening in recent years. And then imagine you protest. But the government has come up with a new method to kill people: The guillotine. Way more efficient than simple beheading, some jerk at the top then decides that anyone who is suspicious of rebellion needs their head chopped off, like the crazy lady in Alice in Wonderland. 
  This is Robespierre’s legacy. The evil French guy knew hardly any boundaries. He was vicious, murderous, and not to be taken lightly. 
  One of the most widely known figures of the Reign of terror was Maximilien François Marie Isidore de Robespierre, a French attorney and statesman. He promoted universal manhood suffrage and the removal of both clergy celibacy and oppression as a member of the Constituent Assembly and the Jacobin Club. In 1791, Robespierre ended up being a singing advocate of male residents without a political voice, promoting for their limitless entry to the National Guard, public workplaces, and the right to bear arms in self-defense. Robespierre was a key figure in the agitation that led to the deposition of the French monarchy on August tenth, 1792, and the assembling of a National Convention. His purpose was to establish a single, indivisible France, equality before the law, the abolition of authorities, and the defense of direct democratic ideal visions.

  On the night of September 6, 2011, terror called at the Amish home of the Millers. Mrs. Miller opened the door to her five estranged adult sons, a daughter, and their spouses. Within moments, the men had pulled their frightened father out of bed and sheared his hair and beard. The women then turned on Mrs. Miller, yanking her prayer cap from her head and shredding it before cutting off her waist-long hair. About twenty minutes later, the attackers fled into the darkness, taking their parents' hair as a trophy. 
   
   
   
  Four similar beard-cutting attacks followed, disfiguring nine victims and generating a tsunami of media coverage. 
   
   
   
  Ten men and six women from the Bergholz community were arrested and found guilty a year later of eighty-seven felony charges involving conspiracy, lying, and obstructing justice. In a precedent-setting decision, all of the defendants were convicted of federal hate crimes. 
   
   
   
  Renegade Amish goes behind the scenes to tell the full story of the Bergholz barbers: the attacks, the investigation, the trial, and the aftermath. Donald B. Kraybill weaves a dark story in which a series of violent Amish-on-Amish attacks shattered the peace of these traditionally nonviolent people.

  Disclaimer: This is NOT the Official Book; This is a Summary & it DOES NOT Accompany the Official Book! 
  In our summary book "Easy Money" by Ben McKenzie, known for his roles in The O.C. and Gotham, describes his entry into the world of cryptocurrency. Despite his economics degree, McKenzie initially found himself attracted to the allure of decentralization, potential societal improvement, and the fear of missing out on a lucrative opportunity. 
  However, as he scratched beneath the surface, he began to question the validity and sustainability of cryptocurrency, prompting the question, "Is this all a total scam?" In a bid to answer this question, McKenzie and Silverman embark on an enlightening investigation into the world of cryptocurrency. 
  "Easy Money" weaves together various narratives including stories of regular traders and victims, vibrant crypto evangelists, Hollywood’s most steadfast believers, whistleblowers against crypto, and government agents striving to find solutions at the brink of a major crash. 
  This summary book provides an up-close view of what the authors argue is a reckless convergence of irresponsibility and criminal fraud, potentially far more devastating than Bernie Madoff's Ponzi scheme or the 2008 housing bubble. This riveting narrative serves as a stark warning and an eye-opening account for anyone enticed by the promises of cryptocurrency.

  Winner of the Anisfield-Wolf Award and finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in Poetry, the Hurston/Wright Legacy Award, and the National Book Award in Poetry—a collection that examines the myth and history of the prizefighter Jack Johnson 
   
   
   
  The legendary Jack Johnson (1878–1946) was a true American creation. The child of emancipated slaves, he overcame the violent segregationism of Jim Crow, challenging white boxers—and white America—to become the first African-American heavyweight world champion. The Big Smoke, Adrian Matejka's third work of poetry, follows the fighter's journey from poverty to the most coveted title in sports through the multi-layered voices of Johnson and the white women he brazenly loved. Matejka's book is part historic reclamation and part interrogation of Johnson's complicated legacy, one that often misremembers the magnetic man behind the myth.
