  What if the lessons you learn as an athlete could shape who you become for the rest of your life? 
  Don’t Be A Dumb Jock: How to Be a Superhuman Being is an inspiring and practical listen for student athletes ages 13–18, as well as the parents and coaches who support them. 
  In this audiobook, the author shares real stories from his athletic journey, offering honest lessons about confidence, discipline, identity, and leadership—lessons many athletes don’t fully understand until after their playing days are over. 
  Designed to be listened to during workouts, commutes, or quiet moments of reflection, this audiobook challenges young athletes to think differently about who they are and how they show up—on the field, in the classroom, and in life. 
  Listeners will learn how to: 
  *Set meaningful goals and pursue them with purpose 
  *Build confidence that isn’t dependent on wins or statistics 
  *Lead themselves and influence others through their actions 
  *Use athletics as a foundation for character, discipline, and long-term success. 
  In a world where athletes are constantly watched and followed, Don’t Be A Dumb Jock calls young competitors to rise above stereotypes and become leaders worth following. This audiobook is perfect for off-season growth, team listening, or daily motivation—helping athletes build the mindset that shows up when it matters most.

  Expert writing advice from the editor of the Boston Globe bestseller, The Writer's Home Companion 
   
   
   
  Dissertation writers need strong, practical advice, as well as someone to assure them that their struggles aren't unique. Joan Bolker, midwife to more than one hundred dissertations and cofounder of the Harvard Writing Center, offers invaluable suggestions for the graduate-student writer. Using positive reinforcement, she begins by reminding thesis writers that being able to devote themselves to a project that truly interests them can be a pleasurable adventure. She encourages them to pay close attention to their writing method in order to discover their individual work strategies that promote productivity; to stop feeling fearful that they may disappoint their advisors or family members; and to tailor their theses to their own writing style and personality needs. Using field-tested strategies she assists the student through the entire thesis-writing process, offering advice on choosing a topic and an advisor, on disciplining one's self to work at least fifteen minutes each day; setting short-term deadlines, on revising and defing the thesis, and on life and publication after the dissertation. Bolker makes writing the dissertation an enjoyable challenge.

  The Book of Eastbay - Two...

  Unable to contain himself, Rick pitched Art: move back to Wausau and start a business selling shoes. Art said, "What are you, an idiot? Selling shoes? How is this even worth trying?" 
   
  This is the story of Eastbay, a startup tale unlike most you've heard. First it was $5,000 worth of track sneakers sold out of the back of an AMC Gremlin. Then it was a quiet storefront in Wausau, Wisconsin. Then it became a catalog, a bible to GenX kids growing up in the 1980s and '90s, a powerful tastemaker so authentic that pro athletes swore by it. Sneakerhead culture started here. 
   
  Eastbay was  a company ahead of its time that mastered mail-order selling before Amazon existed. That grew so fast and was so successful in the first athletic mail-order wholesale shoe business that Nike pulled its AIR products from the catalog. After five years, Nike decided to allow AIR products back into the Eastbay catalog and ultimately Eastbay partnered with Nike to produce several Nike catalogs. 
   
  Sneakers are a global obsession, and it all started here, where kids were encouraged to dream big, and dream often, which is just what the founders were doing all along. This is their story. This is The Book of Eastbay.

  Two States for Two Peoples? -...

  The EU two-state policy concerning the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is failing, despite a half-century of strenuous EU efforts expending tens of billions of euros to implement it. The reality of policy failure is discomforting but must be acknowledged.Failure should provoke reflection: reasons need to be understood to avoid repeated mistakes and to construct a more successful policy for the future. The reasons for failure of the EU Two State Policy are serious but surprisingly obvious. At the base of the EU two-state policy lie 3 false assumptions of wishful thinking: the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is territorial and not existential; East Jerusalem and the West Bank legally belong to the Palestinians; and the establishment of a democratic Palestinian state at peace beside Israel is realistic and feasible.This report challenges these assumptions and makes recommendations for a new approach to enabling Palestinian autonomy, Israeli security and regional stability.Palestinian rights to self-determination must be respected, but they may not be allowed to conflict with the fair and non-discriminatory application of international law, nor be allowed to undermine Israeli sovereignty or regional stability. Peace will never be achieved through agendas aimed at destruction.The EU should focus on ensuring rejection of extremism and mutual acceptance; the fair and equal application of international law to all actors in the region; and strengthening institutions of government based on the rule of law. The authors of this report seek to stimulate vigorous debate on the EU approach to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and a better way forward for Europes engagement in the Middle East.

  The Road Map Every Student Needs for Life After Graduation 
  Graduation is coming fast—and suddenly everyone wants to know what you’re doing next. College? A job? The military? A trade? A gap year? If you’re feeling pressured, unsure, or as if you’re supposed to have everything figured out by now, here’s the truth: You’re not behind—and you’re not alone. 
   
  Big Steps!: Navigating Life After High School is a straight-talking guide for graduating seniors who want real answers—not lectures, clichés, or “just follow your passion” advice. This book helps you slow things down, see your options clearly, and make smart, confident decisions about what comes next. 
   
  Author Issac Lawrence Jr. draws on years of hands-on experience as a Marine Corps recruiter, college admissions recruiter, and mentor to thousands of teens. He’s spent his career having honest, real-world conversations with students who felt stuck, uncertain, or overwhelmed by expectations. The result is a candid, relatable road map built on lived experience, real stories, and practical tools that help students explore college, careers, trade schools, military options, and the workforce. 
   
  This isn’t about telling you which path to choose. It’s about helping you recognize your strengths, ask better questions, and explore opportunities you may not even realize are on the table. Readers learn how to make decisions rooted in truth, purpose, and—for many—faith. 
   
  Inside, you’ll learn how to: 
  Recognize strengths and skills you already have. 
  Keep options open instead of closing doors too early. 
  Replace excuses with ownership. 
  Build decision-making skills. 
  Face fear, pressure, and the unknown with confidence. 
  Use practical tools to explore careers, colleges, trades, and military opportunities. 
   
  For parents, educators, counselors, and youth leaders, Big Steps! is a trustworthy resource that meets students where they are.
