  Saved by a Stranger is an honest, down-to-earth, informative book inspiring hope, perseverance, and triumph for those who are facing the need for a new organ. Through great storytelling, the author helps patients and caregivers feel empowered as they face the challenges of the unknown. 
  After battling a rare autoimmune disorder called Primary Schlerosing Cholangitis (PSC) for eighteen years which led to cirrhosis, Lezlee Peterzell Bellanich's husband, Capt. Rob, finally received his life-saving liver transplant on September 10, 2020 at Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida. Today, he looks and feels like a healthy man with a new engine inside of him. 
  What were all of the twists and turns that led to where they are now? How does hearing amazing survival stories from other transplant patients provide hope and crucial information to those on the waitlist? How, who, and where do donated organs come from? 
  Saved by a Stranger unlocks the mystery of organ donation and transplantation through honest storytelling. The author not only describes their family's personal journey, which included relocating from New York to Florida at the beginning of the Covid outbreak, but also features chapters and interviews with other transplant patients and medical professionals in this field. In doing so, she hopes to increase organ donor registration, give hope to those on the transplant waitlist, and encourage all transplant centers to have regular support group meetings like the Mayo Clinic's weekly Second Chance support group for liver and kidney transplant patients and caregivers.

  When a young girl, Cardy Raper told her mother, "When I grow up I want to be a scientist and make grand discoveries!" Her mother responded, "You could become a nurse." Science was a man's world then. Cardy refused to take "no" for an answer.   Her dream seemed attainable when she met her mentor, Professor John "Red" Raper at the University of Chicago who said "Yes, you can be a scientist!" They became soul mates, fell in love, married, parented children, moved to Harvard, and did research together on the versatile sex life of fungi.  Red's untimely death left Cardy alone in the competitive world of cuttingedge science. She carried on, obtained a doctoral degree, learned the techniques of molecular genetics, and established her own laboratory where she conducted pioneering research on the genetic and molecular determinants of sexual reproduction in a mushroombearing fungus with 20,000 different sexes. This fungus has served as a model organism for exploring the way in which sensing molecules, such as pheromones, function to communicate in more complex organisms.

  This title consists of two books, which are: 
  Civil Engineering - Civil engineering is a multifaceted field that intersects with many aspects of our daily lives. It involves the planning, design, construction, and maintenance of infrastructure that supports modern society, including buildings, bridges, roads, railways, airports, water supply and treatment systems, wastewater treatment plants, and more. 
  Civil engineers collaborate with architects, urban planners, environmental scientists, and other professionals to create functional and resilient structures that meet the needs of communities while considering factors like safety, sustainability, cost-effectiveness, and environmental impact. 
  Environmental Engineering - Environmental engineering encompasses a broad range of disciplines, including but not limited to water resources engineering, air quality engineering, solid waste management, environmental chemistry, environmental microbiology, and ecological engineering. 
  In water resources engineering, environmental engineers work on designing and managing systems for the treatment and distribution of drinking water, as well as the collection, treatment, and disposal of wastewater. They also deal with issues related to stormwater management, flood control, and erosion prevention.

  Richard Jacobs is a highly successful entrepreneur, accomplished podcast host, and author known for his significant contributions to various fields. As the founder of a research program and software platform, Richard has played a pivotal role in advancing groundbreaking work. 
  In October 2016, driven by a keen interest in emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, 3D printing, regenerative medicine, Bitcoin, and blockchain, Richard embarked on a journey to unravel the mysteries of these fields. This passion culminated in the creation of the Future Tech Podcast. From the beginning, his goal was to find geniuses—the top 1% in their field who are almost impossible to reach from the outside. 
  Following a significant health crisis in 2017, Richard shifted his focus to health, medicine, and bioscience issues that impact us all, and the Finding Genius Podcast was born. His growing commitment to fostering understanding and innovation led him to establish the Finding Genius Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit supporting revolutionary research initiatives. 
  Driven by a mission to unearth transformative insights in the science of health and wellness, the foundation aims to make these insights accessible to everyday individuals who stand to benefit the most. Complementing this endeavor, Richard hosts two additional podcasts, The Good Question and Surviving Hard Times, both committed to delivering life-enriching and practical information. 
  Richard's extensive interviews with nearly 4,000 scientists, researchers, clinicians, CEOs, CSOs, entrepreneurs, and amateur scientists have resulted in a rich knowledge database and the Finding Genius book series, covering relevant and intriguing topics, including viruses, cancer, sleep health, and microplastics. He continues to be a driving force in entrepreneurship, podcasting, and philanthropy, leaving a lasting mark on the landscape of scientific exploration.
