    Albert Einstein is widely celebrated as one of the greatest scientific minds in history, yet his brilliance was accompanied by a host of peculiar habits, unconventional beliefs, and eccentric behaviors. While most people recognize him for his groundbreaking theories, such as the theory of relativity and his famous equation, *E = mc²*, fewer are aware of the strange and fascinating aspects of his personality. From his distaste for socks to the secret study of his brain, Einstein’s life was filled with quirks that make him an intriguing figure beyond just his scientific achievements.  
      
    Understanding Einstein’s peculiarities offers a deeper insight into how his mind worked and why he approached problems in such an unconventional way. Many of his habits, which seemed odd to outsiders, were actually reflections of his deep commitment to intellectual simplicity and efficiency. He rejected societal norms, preferring comfort and practicality over formality. His unique way of thinking, combined with his rebellious spirit, allowed him to challenge traditional ideas and revolutionize physics.  
      
    Despite his scientific genius, Einstein was not immune to controversy and personal struggles. His relationships were often complicated, marked by letters revealing his emotional conflicts and a personal life that was far from perfect. He also found himself at the center of political debates, using his influence to speak out on issues such as racial inequality, pacifism, and nuclear weapons. Even after his death, Einstein’s brain became the subject of scientific curiosity, as researchers sought to uncover what made him so intellectually extraordinary.

    Peter Murtagh decided it was time to embark on 'The Great Retirement Project' - riding a motorbike from Tierra Del Fuego at the very southern tip of South America, to the most northerly point in Alaska, alone and without the pressure of any deadline.
    Aged 69, just him, a tent, a bike and a sleeping bag.
    En route, Peter explored magical, wonderful and extraordinarily out-of-the-way parts of our bruised world, met incredible people from all walks of life and observed a great swathe of the Americas. Travelling alone on the 45,000km journey allowed him a rare opportunity to disconnect from hectic daily life and to embrace the solitude, challenge and peace-of-mind of the road less travelled.
    From Tip to Top is a story of optimism and hope and the adventure of a lifetime, and is a ground-level portrait of the Americas as we rarely see them.

    From Jason Redman, the former Navy SEAL and New York Times bestselling author of The Trident, writing with his wife, Erica, a battle-tested guide to marital bliss, drawing on the lessons of elite warriors to build a winning relationship, no matter the challenges and traumas that life sends your way. Featuring a foreword by Gary Sinise. 
    The divorce rate among Navy SEALs is over 90 percent, and the rate among severely wounded warriors is even higher. Erica and Jason Redman knew their marriage faced an uphill climb, because Jason is both. 
    In 2007, Jason’s patrol was ambushed by a machine gunners’ nest in Iraq. Thirty-seven surgeries, 1,200 stitches, and a grueling years-long rehab would follow. Despite all that—plus the daily demands of raising three children and running a successful business together—Jason and Erica’s marriage has remained invincible. 
    Every day, you make choices that either build up your relationship or leave it exposed and vulnerable to attack. The highest-performing warrior teams pay attention to developing muscle-memory habits, and your marriage can benefit from the same focus. 
    In Mission: Invincible Marriage, Jason and Erica share the tools they use to lay the foundational beliefs and communication skills a marriage needs to last for life. Each chapter helps readers develop a key tenet of successful relationship-building. Among them:Commit to Friendship: The foundation of all successful marriages is genuine friendshipSupport Each Other’s Dreams: Couples who establish a pattern of supporting each other’s dreams can thrive even when those dreams grow and changeKnow When to Give Space: Learn to trust each other enough to give and take space when needed instead of resorting to passive-aggressive responses and stonewallingEstablish Rituals: Couples can strengthen their marriage by finding ways to invest in small shared actions that reflect and reinforce commitmentFace Conflict Together: Marital strength is not the absence of conflict but the ability to withstand and work through conflict 
    Drawing on their own experiences and the latest research in long-term interpersonal relationships, Mission: Invincible Marriage is a battle-tested guide to nurturing love, especially when the going gets tough.

    In June 1972, President Richard Nixon put pen to paper and signed the Educational Amendments of 1972 into law. The nearly 150-page document makes no mention of “gender,” “athletics,” “girls,” or “women.” The bill did not appear to contain anything earth shattering. But tucked into its final pages, a heading appears, “Title IX—Prohibition of Sex Discrimination.” These 37 words would change the world for girls and women across the United States. On its face, Title IX legally guaranteed equal opportunity in education. In time, Title IX would serve as the tipping point for the modern era of women’s sport. Slowly but surely, women’s athletics at the high school and collegiate levels grew to prominence, and Tennessee fast emerged as a national leader. 
    In Title IX, Pat Summitt, and Tennessee’s Trailblazers, Mary Ellen Pethel introduces readers to past and present pioneers—each instrumental to the success of women’s athletics across the state and nation. Through vibrant profiles, Pethel celebrates the lives and careers of household names like Pat Summitt and Candace Parker, as well as equally important forerunners such as Ann Furrow and Teresa Phillips. Through their lived experiences, these fifty individuals laid the foundation for athletic excellence in Tennessee, which in turn shaped the national landscape for women’s sports. 
    With interviewees ranging from age 20 to 93, Pethel artfully combines storytelling with scholarship. Guided by the voices of the athletes, coaches, and administrators, Pethel vividly documents achievement and adversity, wins and losses, and advice for the next generation. This book represents the first statewide compilation of its kind—offering readers a behind-the- scenes perspective of Tennessee women who dedicated their lives to the advancement of sport and gender equality. Readers will delight in Title IX, Pat Summitt, and Tennessee’s Trailblazers: 50 Years, 50 Stories. For more follow @drpethel.
