What goes through someone's mind when they're immersed in the open ocean, hypothermic, and either going to drown or be eaten alive by sharks? How does one have the will to survive a mariner's worst nightmare of being lost at sea?
In Lost in the Stream: The Miraculous Story of Two Fisherman Lost at Sea you'll be privy to the kind of excruciating choices that mean life or death. With wreckage of the Anhinga floating all around them, Eric Bingham (captain) and Johnny Savage (mate) struggled to survive in the middle of the Gulf Stream after a colossal rogue wave sank their sportfishing vessel. It took decades for Johnny to come to terms with the fact the still voice inside him and people who'd already heard the story were right:
Johnny, you need to write a book.
The Anhinga had vanished so quickly there hadn't been time for a distress call, life raft, or emergency beacon. They were microscopic specks, in peril, lost to the power of the restless waves. So how did two fisherman with survival chances close to zero endure being at the mercy of the mighty sea?
In rediscovering these stories about our shared history, we learn who we were, who we are, and who we can be.
Adventure can be uncovered in the most unexpected of places. In 1521: Rediscovering the History of the Philippines, author Judy Robinson takes a deep dive into the forgotten stories of Filipinos in the advent of Spanish colonization, beginning with Ferdinand Magellan's arrival in the archipelago.

While reading this book, you will discover that precolonial Filipinos had a complex social structure that was more advanced than previously acknowledged.
Through 1521: Rediscovering the History of the Philippines, Robinson hopes to share these stories from history, teach the next generation of the diaspora more about where they come from, and see the different sides of history as a way to find what connects us instead of what divides us.

We love The American Farmer. We trust them to grow our food, to be part of children's nursery rhymes, to provide the economic backbone of rural communities, and to embody a version of the American dream.
At the same time, we know that corporate farms are disrupting the agrarian way of life that we so admire, and that we've got to do something to stop it. So what's our plan for saving the farms we love?
In Farm (and Other F Words), Sarah K Mock dismantles misconceptions about American farms and discovers what makes small family farms work, or why they don't. While exploring the intersection of farming and wealth, Mock offers an alternative perspective on American agricultural history, and outlines a path to a more equitable food system moving forward.
Calling for change, Farm (and Other F Words) tackles questions like:
Ultimately, Mock suggests a solution without putting the onus for change on struggling consumers and reminds us that, the future of American agriculture is not yet decided.
Acknowledgement is the first step in the journey of unpacking the ways our cities are built with systems of power and erasure. True reconciliation requires acknowledgment and acceptance of past injustice. In that journey, we are only at the beginning.
Paved A Way tells the stories of five neighborhoods in Dallas and how they were shaped by racism and economic oppression. The communities of North Dallas, Deep Ellum, Little Mexico, Tenth Street, and Fair Park look nothing like what they did during their prime, and author Collin Yarbrough argues that their respective declines were intentional-that their foundations were chipped away over time.
Systemic oppression is not contained within Dallas-it can be found throughout the United States. As Collin Yarbrough writes in his introduction, Dallas is its own city, and Dallas is every city. With this book, readers throughout the United States will learn to see how nearby cities were shaped by injustice, and how they can play a role in reversing the process.

I would eventually discover I had been switched at birth in a Gillette, Wyoming hospital, a story so bizarre and rare in the United States. This book will give hope to the hopeless. It will help those who have questioned whether life is worth living. I have been there and came out the other side stronger, grateful, and courageous enough to tell my story to help others heal, too.
