  From the cover: "His mother had to make a quick decision that no parent would ever want to make. Which of her children had the best chance to survive this calamity? Her son. Anschel, was the oldest and strongest. The two girls had to stay with her no matter what was coming."

  Long before creating Covet by Christos, the world’s leading livestreamer of all things luxury, future founder and CEO Christos Garkinos grew up in Detroit as the gay son of Greek immigrants and started working in his parents’ diner at the age of four. 
  Seeking a bigger life post-college, Garkinos took a job under Richard Branson in the mid-90’s heyday of Virgin Megastores. Beginning to rub shoulders with A-list celebrities, he embarked on a 25-year fashion and media career with many highs and lows. Covet the Comeback lays bare the entire story—as well as all the things that can get swept beneath the red carpet. 
  Garkinos reinvented the resale luxury market and was coined the “Robin Hood of Fashion.” A breakout role on Bravo TV soon followed, as did a lucrative Home Shopping Network stint—though with it came countless coke-fueled parties and the slow descent into addiction. When Garkinos’ hard-earned empire crumbled, he realized he was near financial ruin. 
  By the time Garkinos got sober, the world was in the midst of a global pandemic—and, despite the fact that he was driving around in a Range Rover, he was completely broke. A chance meeting where he uttered the word “trudging” led to him starting a trunk show business that went virtual and has since brought in more than 100 million dollars in sales worldwide. 
  For future business moguls and dreamers of all kinds, Covet the Comeback is far more than a must-read redemption story. It’s a masterclass in learning that we all fall down—and how to get back up in style.

  Death Ray The: The History and...

  Nikola Tesla was one of history’s greatest scientists, and though he is best known for his pioneering work with electricity, the fact that he is mostly remembered solely for that actually does a disservice to his legacy. Born a Serb in the Austrian Empire, Tesla came to the United States and worked in a laboratory for none other than the Wizard of Menlo Park, Thomas Edison. 
  Having established AC as an electrical supply system, Tesla became a global celebrity, and his devices and inventions fascinated people. Tesla tinkered with everything from X-rays to wireless communications and even attempted a primitive form of the radio. While Tesla was not able to successfully execute the devices and concepts he foresaw, his forward thinking in fields like wireless communication certainly proved prescient, and his futuristic devices and his later reputation for eccentricity helped create the “mad scientist” image that still remains a pop culture fixture. Tesla seemed to have come to grips with this aspect of his legacy late in life, noting, “The scientific man does not aim at an immediate result. He does not expect that his advanced ideas will be readily taken up." 
  During World War I, in December 1915, Tesla gave an interview to The New York Times in which he claimed he was working on something entirely new, a weapon that would use electrical power to instantly destroy a distant target. He explained that this weapon was “so far developed that great destructive effects can be produced at any point on the globe, determined beforehand and with great accuracy.” Tesla called this new weapon the “Teleforce,” and he would continue working on this project for the rest of his life, but he consistently refused to give details of its operation. Many people believed it was impractical, but with Tesla, it was never possible to be entirely certain.

  “You want to see well? See with your heart. The essential is invisible to your eyes” 
  In a quiet park at dusk, as I walk, a bright light suddenly appears. As I approach, I see a being like a light watching me with curiosity. 
  He explains that he's visiting. He asks if I could guide him to better understand humanity. He was very kind, and I didn't feel afraid. 
  We sat in the park. I really wanted to speak that afternoon from within. 
  I sensed in him a mixture of sadness for the arduous struggles for freedom on this planet. "Here on Earth, I see you still searching for that connection," he told me with a note of sadness in his luminous voice. "But don't give up. The potential is within you." 
  For those seeking deep, the book becomes an explicit explanation of The Little Prince (Le Petit Prince).
