  2 Years of Crazy Ideas and Implementation, Trial and Error, and Misunderstandings Packed into One Book! 
  Take a journey with HR turned Entrepreneur through his first two years of entrepreneurship, from hiring his first project intern to adding 20+ over the next two years, from publishing a novel having a filmy title to building a SaaS application that reached pretty close to getting funding, from being invited to attend Digital India event inaugurated by Prime Minister of India to getting examined by a Clinical Physiatrist. 
  In a true ‘as long as we are still alive, there is another wave to ride’ fashion, Mayank did not miss the opportunity when COVID-19 turned the world upside down and forced him to take a path he had always desired but never planned. The book is written in a first-person narrative style that is both playfully self-deprecating and boastful and is full of anecdotes. 
  In ‘Brick by Brick…and one step at a time’, you will get insights about taking risks, building teams, creating products, choosing mentors, and prioritizing what truly matters in life - our family. 
  “If you picked up this book because you are curious to know the psyche of an entrepreneur and what all they go through during their initial years, you’re in the right place.” 
  “If you picked up this book because you are curious how an HR going through a midlife crisis decides to pivot, attempts tens of things simultaneously, and finds his Ikigai during the process, you’re again in the right place.”

  It was 1993, Suzanne Roberts had just finished college, and when her friend suggested they hike California's John Muir Trail, the adventure sounded like the perfect distraction from a difficult home life and thoughts about the future. But she never imagined that the twenty-eight-day hike would change her life. Part memoir, part nature writing, part travelogue, Almost Somewhere is Roberts's account of that hike. 
   
   
   
  John Muir wrote of the Sierra Nevada as a "vast range of light," and that was exactly what Roberts was looking for. But traveling with two girlfriends, one experienced and unflappable and the other inexperienced and bulimic, she quickly discovered that she needed a new frame of reference. Her story of a month in the backcountry—confronting bears, snowy passes, broken equipment, injuries, and strange men—is as much about finding a woman's way into outdoor experience as it is about the natural world Roberts so eloquently describes. Candid, funny, and wise, Almost Somewhere not only tells the whimsical coming-of-age story of a young woman ill-prepared for a month in the mountains but also reflects a feminine view of nature. 
   
   
   
  This new edition includes an afterword by the author looking back on the ways both she and the John Muir Trail have changed over the past thirty years, as well as book club and discussion questions.

  Lieutenant-General James Longstreet, commander of the First Corps of the Army of Northern Virginia, was a brilliant tactician and strategist. Prior to the Civil War there were many technological developments, of which the rifled musket and cannon, rail transport, and the telegraph were a few. Longstreet adapted to these technological changes and the disparity between the belligerents making recommendations on how the war should be fought. Unfortunately, his advice was not heeded and given the weight it deserved. In contrast to many other southern generals, Longstreet advocated for defensive warfare, using entrenchments and trying to maneuver the enemy to assault his position, conserving manpower, resources, and supplies. 
   
   
   
  Longstreet was a pragmatic and methodical general and had his suggestions been utilized there would have been a better outcome for the South. Many historians and biographers have misunderstood Longstreet and his motives, not focusing on the total picture. This work offers a fresh and unique perspective on Lieutenant-General James Longstreet and the Civil War. This narrative takes a new viewpoint of the Civil War and the generals who tailored their designs to pursue the war, analyzes Longstreet's views of the generals and the tactics and strategy they employed, and examines why Longstreet proposed and urged a new type of warfare.

  Throughout the history of the Catholic Church, in her most troubled and turbulent times, God has raised up great saints as beacons of hope in the midst of darkness. Among these great saints, the four women Doctors of the Church stand out as models of courage, wisdom, and trust. Their example and teachings remain with us, are relevant to the challenges of our own day, and urge us on to renewal with unwavering hope. 
   
   
   
  "Trust shows the way," wrote Saint Hildegard of Bingen. These words set the courageous standard by which she, Teresa of Ávila, Catherine of Siena, and Thérèse of Lisieux lived. The phrase can be considered the watchword for the Church in every age, and especially in our own. 
   
   
   
  In Women of Hope, Terry Polakovic introduces these amazing women and describes the troubled times in which they lived and persevered. These women remind us that God can work through anyone to bring about his purpose. They prove to us that, as Christians, we can live in confident hope, no matter the circumstances in which we find ourselves.
