I No Longer Dream

Michael Brandt

In 2018, I suffered a massive cerebral stroke at the age of 24 after cracking my neck. I woke up in a hospital with little knowledge of myself, the world, or any grounding in reality because of the damage to my brain along with left-sided paralysis. I am not the person I was before and though I want to be them again I can't and must bury them, grieve, and start over. This is how I came to terms with my new existence while letting go of my past, not because I want to but because it is a requirement to move forward.

Genealogy - A Guide to...

Sophie Henner

Genealogy delves into the complex web of family relationships and historical contexts that shape individual and collective identities. It often begins with an inquiry into one's own family background, such as understanding the origins and branches of one’s family tree. Researchers use various resources, including birth, marriage, and death records, census data, military records, and immigration documents, to trace the lineage and connections of family members across generations. 
  
The process typically starts with gathering information from living relatives and personal family records. This foundational knowledge helps in identifying potential research paths. Genealogists then use historical records and archives to fill in gaps, verifying information and uncovering new details about ancestors' lives, including their social, economic, and geographical contexts. 
  
Genealogy also involves examining historical events, migrations, and cultural influences that impacted family histories. By integrating historical data with personal records, genealogists create a richer understanding of how family histories intertwine with broader historical narratives.

Here Be Dragons - One Man's...

Webster Golinkin

Here Be Dragons takes us on one’s man’s quest to make healthcare more accessible and affordable for all. Web Golinkin began his healthcare leadership journey by starting the first 24-hour cable TV network dedicated to health, America’s Health Network, which was eventually sold to Fox. He then helped to revolutionize healthcare with RediClinic, one of the first companies to put healthcare clinics inside drug, grocery, and big box stores, and was later sold to Rite Aid. More recently, Web was CEO of FastMed, one of the nation’s largest and fastest-growing operators of urgent care clinics.But this is not a book about unbridled success. It is the true story of what happens when you are bold enough to try to transform a hidebound, multi-trillion-dollar industry. Retail clinics are now a permanent part of the healthcare landscape, but getting there did not come without a fight and required all the passion, endurance, and street-smarts that Web could muster at every step along the way.
