  When You're in Deep Water Call... Moses is the gripping autobiography of legendary bail bondsman and bounty hunter Moses Kardashian. Known for his fearless approach, Kardashian has spent over 49 years capturing fugitives and confronting some of the most dangerous criminals across America. From growing up in Downey County, California during the lawless late-60s alongside notorious figures like mobster Frank DeSimone to riding with some Hells Angels friends and the Scavengers Motorcycle Club, his life is one of high-octane adventure and survival. 
  A cousin of famed attorney Robert Kardashian, Moses contributed to Robert De Niro's bounty hunter character in Midnight Run, and his life story rivals the most thrilling Hollywood scripts. Readers will follow Moses as he shares stories of his rise to become one of California's top bail bondsmen, his harrowing chases, and the chaotic world of bounty hunting. With a perfect record, Kardashian never lost a single bond and was the first to prove that a man was dead without a body, but he paid a high price with brushes with death, office fires, and constant danger. 
  This is a story of courage, faith, and staying true to your word. More than just catching criminals, it's about surviving against the odds, navigating the underbelly of American life, and trusting in the power of God through it all. Buckle up for an unforgettable ride into the real-life Wild West of modern bounty hunting. This book is for people who believe you can do whatever you want in life if you set your mind to it.

  Four words with the power to upend your entire existence and thrust you into an emotional whirlwind. As these words unravel, they unleash trauma, chaos, and threats to every facet of life – from health and body image to relationships, job, career, and future dreams. Thoughts swirl: What did I do so wrong to deserve this? How am I going to survive? Is my body going to be mutilated?

Harnessing this information and understanding the body's natural defenses in response to threat is vital to withstanding the challenges facing someone in the midst of their own journey. This knowledge becomes a lifeline, empowering individuals to withstand the storm and make informed decisions during such a pivotal time.

  Unmasked - COVID Community and...

  Unmasked is the story of what happened in Okoboji, a small Iowan tourist town, when a collective turn from the coronavirus to the economy occurred in the COVID summer of 2020. State political failures, local negotiations among political and public health leaders, and community (dis)belief about the virus resulted in Okoboji being declared a hotspot just before the Independence Day weekend, when an influx of half a million people visit the town. 
   
   
   
  The story is both personal and political. Author Emily Mendenhall, an anthropologist at Georgetown University, grew up in Okoboji, and her family still lives there. As the events unfolded, Mendenhall was in Okoboji, where she spoke formally with over 100 people and observed a community that rejected public health guidance, revealing deep-seated mistrust in outsiders and strong commitments to local thinking. Unmasked is a fascinating and heartbreaking account of where people put their trust, and how isolationist popular beliefs can be in America's small communities.
