  Surviving Deep Waters - A...

  When you have nothing to lose, you can risk everything. 
   
  There was no reason to bet on Bruce Johnson, given where he started out. Poor, Black, and raised by a single mother who had a secret. He was the child she hid in plain view from the rest of her family. 
   
  Bruce would spend his youth at Chickasaw Park in Louisville—Kentucky’s segregated west end. He would grab the low hanging tree branches, then swing out over the Ohio River before dropping into the dangerous water below. He didn’t know how to swim, but was  
  fearless and knew to paddle quickly back to shore before the current could drag him under. This tenacity served him well, and he learned to be a risk taker early on. 
   
  As an adult, he set out to just make a living—to do better than Black folks who tried their best before, while making his Momma and Grandmomma proud. His journey to becoming a successful TV journalist nearly killed him, but he refused to treat himself as a victim. His  
  role was to use his voice and example to pull others out of deep waters. 
   
  The rollout for his retirement was unprecedented. Week-long on-air tributes, hour-long online tributes from corporate CEOs, former colleagues, Congressmembers, the Mayor, and the governor. After a near forty-five year career, all was deserved and expected, except for  
  a final tribute—seeing his image secretly painted on the Wall of Fame outside the iconic Ben’s Chili Bowl restaurant alongside Barack and Michelle Obama, Oprah, and Dave Chappelle. No one could have imagined such an ending. Or could they? Bruce Johnson’s  
  journey is the culmination of his mother and grandmother’s stories—the ultimate American story of race, opportunity, and perseverance.

  This is small part of introduction of the book: From the depths of the Swat Valley in Pakistan, a young girl named Malala Yousafzai emerged as a beacon of hope and courage, her voice resonating with an unwavering belief in the transformative power of education. Her journey, one marked by resilience and unwavering determination, has etched her name indelibly in the annals of history, forever inspiring generations to come. 
  Born on July 12, 1997, in Mingora, Pakistan, Malala was raised in a household that cherished education. Her father, Ziauddin Yousafzai, was a passionate educator who ran a school for girls, instilling in Malala a deep-rooted love for learning. From an early age, Malala displayed an insatiable curiosity, her mind brimming with questions and a yearning to explore the vast expanse of knowledge. 
  As Malala grew, she witnessed firsthand the oppressive rule of the Taliban, an extremist group that sought to impose strict control over the Swat Valley. Their tyrannical regime brought forth a wave of restrictions, including the banning of girls' education. Malala's heart ached for her fellow young women, denied the fundamental right to learn and pursue their dreams. 
  Undeterred by the Taliban's threats and intimidation, Malala refused to be silenced. At the tender age of 11, she began writing a blog for the BBC Urdu service, using the pseudonym "Gul Makai" to protect her identity. In her blog posts, Malala chronicled her daily life under Taliban rule, eloquently voicing her aspirations for a world where all girls had access to education.

  The definitive biography of Dodgers legend Don Drysdale 
   
   
   
  Larger than Life. In the history of American sports, rare is the athlete who fits that description better than Don Drysdale.

Off the field, Drysdale's personality dominated every room he walked into. With a smile as immense as the sun, Drysdale's contemporaries included Frank Sinatra and Howard Cosell. 
   
   
   
  In Up and In, longtime Orange County Register sportswriter Mark Whicker takes listeners on a remarkable journey through Drysdale's life and career. Featuring exclusive interviews with Drysdale's teammates, broadcasting, and colleagues, this new biography paints a complete portrait of an unparalleled baseball life—from Drysdale's early years in Van Nuys to his sudden passing in 1993 at age fifty-six.

  The weird, wacky and wonderful betting exploits of an unconventional gambler who takes the biggest risk of his life to give up his day job and try to make a living on chance. 
  The Gambler reveals the highs and lows, the joy and despair, and the sheer lunacy of someone willing to risk it all on the most outlandish outcomes, from betting on the winner of Eurovision and Strictly to whether a pair of pandas might mate. 
   
   
  As a pioneer in the field of TV betting, Rob thinks he has uncovered the path to untold riches, winning big on Strictly Come Dancing, X Factor, Eurovision – you name it. 
  While millions sat on their sofas watching and wondering who might win or who’d be evicted from their favourite shows that week, Rob would be working out the odds, checking his formulas and gambling big. 
  With similarities to international bestseller Moneyball and Harry Findlay’s Gambling For Life: The Man Who Won Millions And Spent Every Penny, Rob’s book takes readers into the fascinating world of TV gambling and beyond. 
  Surviving the nerve-jangling moments waiting and watching to see if his luck was in or if he’d be on the breadline that week, Rob honed his skills over years to seem almost psychic. 
  And he didn’t stop at TV, branching out to take a chance gambling on everything from the mating habits of pandas in a zoo to whether a superstar will sing with their top off on stage. 
  But he soon discovers that cleaning up with the bookies comes at a huge cost. With his trading exploits taking over his every waking thought, and creating a life of desolate solitude Robinson Crusoe would be proud of, he fears his obsessive pursuit of the golden ticket is poised to end unhappily, in lonely bachelorhood. 
  So he decides to take his longest shot yet – heading off into the wilds of provincial Russia, with dreams of a James Bond-style tryst with a mystery woman who could yet turn out to be a vodka-drinking scammer aiming to fleece him out of house and home. 
  Detailing the often weird and downright wacky investments Rob makes over two decades of betting, The Gambler reveals the roller coaster world of someone willing to risk it all on the most outlandish outcomes, including when it comes to seeking romance. 
  Quirky, irreverent and authentic, this is a deeper tale about adventure, taking a leap of faith, and seeking to beat the odds.
