  What if everything you thought you knew about healthcare was wrong? 
  In Profits Over People: How Healthcare Became Sickcare, Dr. Adrian Mehmedi exposes the truth about a broken medical system that prioritizes profits over patient well-being. From the rise of Big Pharma’s influence to the suppression of alternative medicine, this book reveals how corporate greed, flawed policies, and a pharmaceutical-driven agenda have transformed healthcare into a business that thrives on illness rather than healing. 
  🔹 Why are prescription drugs the go-to solution, even when they cause harm? 
  🔹 Why is the U.S. healthcare system the most expensive in the world—yet ranks among the worst in health outcomes? 
  🔹 How did we move from natural, holistic healing to a profit-driven sickcare model?A Deep Dive Into the Past, Present & Future of Medicine 
  Dr. Mehmedi takes readers on a compelling journey through history, unveiling how theFlexner Report, medical monopolization, and pharmaceutical lobbying shaped the modern healthcare system. He explores today’s crises, from skyrocketing medical costs to the overprescription of drugs—and reveals how we can reclaim our health.A Roadmap for a Better Future 
  This book isn’t just an exposé—it’s a call to action. With insights into holistic medicine, decentralized healthcare, regenerative practices, and emerging innovations, Profits Over People offers a vision for a new paradigm of healing—one where people, not profits, come first. 
  If you care about your health, your family’s well-being, or the future of medicine, this book is a must-read.

  In My First Summer in the Sierra, John Muir recounts his transformative journey through California’s Sierra Nevada in the summer of 1869. As a young Scottish-American naturalist, Muir joins a crew of shepherds driving a flock of sheep to the high mountain meadows. Through vivid and poetic descriptions, he captures the breathtaking landscapes, towering sequoias, rushing rivers, and vast granite peaks. 
  Muir’s keen observations of the flora, fauna, and geology of the region, combined with his deep spiritual connection to nature, reflect his evolving philosophy of wilderness preservation. His journal entries, written with enthusiasm and reverence, reveal his profound love for the Sierra and his growing advocacy for protecting its beauty. 
  This classic work, filled with wonder and awe, is a cornerstone of American nature writing and played a key role in inspiring the conservation movement and the creation of national parks.

  Water Harvesting 101 introduces you to: 
  Passive Water Harvesting: This is the act of sculpting your land with basins, berms, and drainage swales. The goal? To channel rainwater toward plants and away from structures – like your house. Passive water-harvesting earthworks eliminate the need for landscape irrigation connected to municipal water systems. In arid regions, that spells substantial cost savings. 
  Active Water Harvesting: Want fresh garden produce when it’s 105 degrees out? And it hasn’t rained in six weeks? At my place, the 1,500-gallon rainwater harvesting cistern makes year ‘round gardening possible. And, on wash day, I don’t let the wastewater go down the drain. Instead, I use a greywater harvesting system that effortlessly diverts that wastewater from the laundry to my four fruit trees.

  This book is written for you- the color blind person who knows what it is like to be the only person who cannot identify a colorful number in a small circle. However, you are not alone. Not only do I endure this hardship, hundreds of millions of people worldwide live with our misunderstood, somewhat rare genetic condition.

  Do you feel like you have been living life without the playbook? Or perhaps you have not considered how your color blindness manifests in your life. Is there a friend, family member, neighbor, or teacher, who would benefit from understanding color blindness? This “How To” book addresses color blind individuals and everyone who crosses their paths with uplifting, quick, and entertaining tips to help navigate and comprehend the color blind life. With firsthand accounts and colloquial knowhow, I have written this book so anyone can understand the basics of color blindness – from how it is inherited to its effects on everyday life. Plus, the color blind individual or caretaker thereof, will appreciate the applicable tips, such as how to shop and cook for the color blind. 
  How did I end up with a freezer full of “purpleberries?” Why didn’t my bridal shower outfit match? Is it okay that I ask my kids for fashion advice? If you can relate to these questions or I have piqued your curiosity, read and laugh along with me as we celebrate and commiserate with the wonderful world of the color blind.
