  In many ways, Charles Lindbergh represented the best and worst of America during the first half of the 20th century. Lindbergh became famous for being an aviation pioneer whose solo flight across the Atlantic captured the imagination of an entire world, yet he was an isolationist who wanted to keep American freedoms safe for Americans and no one else. Lindbergh was the quintessential family man, yet he fathered illegitimate children and suffered an unspeakable tragedy that became known as “The Crime of the Century.” Lindbergh embodied some of his era’s greatest virtues and harbored some of its worst prejudices.  
  Lindbergh was a 25 year old U.S. Air Mail pilot who was probably best known for two crashes before shooting to fame with his non-stop flight across the Atlantic from New York City to Paris on May 20-21, 1927. Lindbergh was Time Magazine’s first Man of the Year in 1927, and he used his newfound fame to promote the development of commercial flight and become a spokesman and symbol for advances in aviation.  
  In 1928, Amelia Earhart was the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean, but she was disappointed that she had to do so as a passenger, complaining, “I was just baggage, like a sack of potatoes.” But by the mid-1930s, Earhart had set a multitude of altitude and distance records, but she wanted to attempt a circumnavigation of the world. After an ill-fated first attempt, Earhart and Fred Noonan set off on another attempt, creating one of the 20th century’s most enduring mysteries. Earhart and Noonan were to land on Howland Island, 1700 miles southwest of Hawaii, but radio transmissions ceased between the plane and authorities on the ground the morning of July 2, 1937. Earhart and Noonan had disappeared, never to be seen again, despite one of the nation’s largest and costliest manhunts to date.  
  The speculation over exactly what happened to Earhart and the mystery of her disappearance remain.

  As Hispanic citizens rally to the political right, they will provide the economic, cultural, and political renaissance to save the American republic. 
   
   
   
  Hispanics have moved materially to the political right in recent years—but why? What explains this marked and sustained shift? Bad Hombres details the radicalism of the modern Democratic Party, which has turned so many outcasts into political orphans. Steve Cortes provides evidence of the massive benefits of this Hispanic surge to the right. Cortes himself has been a key driver of this mass political movement, first as the lead Hispanic face of the 2016 and 2020 Trump campaigns, and presently as the primary Latino advocate for the New Right—patriotic populism. Given this vantage point, Cortes makes a powerful case that reveals how the teetering American nation will find a national rescue by entrepreneurial, tradition-minded Hispanic citizens.

  That's Life So It Is - A candid...

  Coronation Street legend Charlie Lawson celebrates over forty years on stage and screen with a uniquely entertaining, eye-opening and enthralling memoir. 
  The iconic actor best known for his role as Jim McDonald in Coronation Street, Lawson unveils a life as dramatic off-screen as his on-screen roles. In his own words, he recounts his shenanigans at boarding school, his experience of the Troubles in his native Northern Ireland, his time at drama school and his first acting roles – as well many boisterous nights out and a short-lived attempt to run an illicit club night in 1980s East London. 
  As Lawson’s career unfolds, we encounter many fellow actors who are now household names, resulting in many hilarious anecdotes. But he is not afraid to settle scores and call out cases of injustice and abuse in the industry. And he is equally unflinching in his portrayal of his private life, with details of his marriages and personal tragedies. 
  Fans of Coronation Street will love the details of his nearly three-decade tenure on Britain’s beloved soap – as Lawson shares behind-the-scenes pranks, cast disputes and the chaos of celebrity culture. But the book also provides compelling accounts of the many high-profile theatre, TV and film productions he has been involved in – not to mention his other passions such as horse racing and field sports.

  Align people with profits and watch your business thrive 
  Sustainable companies are the ones that turn a profit. But in an ever-evolving world, gearing yourself up for entrepreneurial success means looking beyond the ledger. Because a business isn’t built by financial statements, it’s built by the person in the mirror, for the betterment of society. 
  In Grow: 12 Unconventional Lessons for Becoming an Unstoppable Entrepreneur, Mike Fata details his journey from high-school dropout to successful CEO and how his achievements (and failures), led him to create a guide that will put entrepreneurs on a pathway to success. Spoiler alert: it isn’t a fancy business degree, a high-flying network, or tons of investment capital. 
  By stressing the importance of passion, integrity, and community, these 12 easy-to-follow lessons will highlight how to grow intentionally and build a business that is both authentic to you and relevant to the current landscape. A landscape that values not only the health and well-being of the bank balance, but also of people and the environment. 
  It may seem scary to stray from the conventional business-model, but Fata knows that it is possible to build a sustainable, health-giving business that is also financially viable—because he has done it. And he wants to help you do the same. There is a successful entrepreneur inside everyone. The question is, are you ready to discover yours?"
