The joy of the journey is one that is identifiable to all collectors, no matter the object of their desire.
There are books written about watches, watch companies, and watchmakers but very few exist written from the perspective of the watch collector. Enter: Mitch Katz. Mitch speaks to the collector in us all as he takes the reader on his 25-year watch-collecting journey.
Developing a collection of anything means having the confidence to trust your own eyes and heart. As Mitch relates the unique and memorable experiences that led to his acquiring a number of one-of-a-kind watches, we see how, as his passion for watches grows, his collector's eye and instinct are honed.
Whether it be squeezing in a part-time job selling watches (much to his wife's dismay), deciding to purchase a watch while in a dog park or a bathroom, or meeting some of the most significant watchmakers of modern times, the stories of how Mitch built his collection have become integral parts of his watches. Now, the memories evoked by the individual pieces, whether they be production or unique, only make each watch more special.
Some call it insanity, others passion, in either event collecting is something we all do and derive pleasure from.
Includes 107 sketches and grayscale photographs.

What you learn on the mat in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu can make you successful in business.
Being an entrepreneur is tough. No matter how well you plan and strategize, things can fall apart, failure can seem imminent, and the stress can weigh you down like an opponent who's double your size and strength. Sometimes you find yourself so stuck in a position that you fear you might have to tap out.
Fortunately, the principles that allow you to succeed in jiu jitsu can also be used to win in business. Author Jordan Edwards learned this firsthand during the COVID-19 pandemic, as he fought to keep Mixology Clothing Company open.
Edwards combined the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu principles he'd learned on the mats into a technical framework that not only kept his company alive but allowed it to thrive. In this book, he shares stories from the pandemic that highlight which BJJ principles he used in specific circumstances. He then demonstrates how these principles can be expanded to business in general.
In Part One, Edwards covers the basics, including the need to create space so you can breathe when faced with adversity. Part Two moves into gaining control of your thoughts. Part Three brings everything together to discuss finishing principles and taking calculated risks by implementing a system of controls.
By integrating these parts, readers will be able to make strategic, technical business decisions, even during times of uncertainty and fear. The framework, broken down into three parts, shows how the principles of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu can be applied to business.
This approach proved so powerful that Edwards continues to run his company from this perspective and even applies it in his personal life.
To further enrich the insights shared in this book, Jordan Edwards launched the Business Jiu Jitsu podcast. This platform allowed him to engage in profound conversations with some of the brightest minds across various industries. From world champion athletes like Gordon Ryan and elite coaches such as John Danaher, to Olympians like Travis Stevens and Jimmy Pedro, the podcast provided a wealth of knowledge and diverse perspectives. Edwards also spoke with Navy SEALs like JP Dinnell, special operators such as Mike Rogers and Nick Koumalatsos, CrossFit champions like Jason Khalipa, and leaders from diverse professions, including marines, firefighters, teachers, musicians, and billion-dollar CEOs like Rich Byrne.
These conversations reveal how the discipline, resilience, and strategic thinking honed on the Jiu-Jitsu mats translate into success in business and life. The universal lessons from these discussions have been integrated into the book, offering readers a comprehensive guide to navigating business challenges with the mindset of a Jiu-Jitsu practitioner.

I never knew how big our education problem was until my son struggled in his first year of college. As a top-performing high school student, he got into all his desired colleges, and we just never were worried about him performing well.
However, his excitement from his college acceptances, the prospects of moving out of the house, and his embracing his independence, quickly led to frustration, stress, and surprise struggles. After his first semester, our straight-A high school student found himself on academic probation. That's when I knew I had to figure out why millions of top high school seniors struggle to succeed in college.
I spent months talking to students, looking for similarities, trends, and kernels of knowledge that could help me understand the challenges and issues faced by students transiting from high school to college.
As a result, student success became my new mission. Inside the pages of this book, students will find a complete roadmap for making great grades, having more fun, and studying less!
More Praise
After giving this a read, I related with the If you fall behind chapter, I had hit a slump in the middle of my first semester and didn't know if or how I was going to catch up. I tried different techniques, and not much was helping, but I now realize how big it is to really talk and communicate with your professors; they want you to succeed as much as you want yourself to. I think that's a big take away from not only this book but in life. -Fred Payton, a student at Coastal Carolina University
This book is a great guide for students that are considering going to college. Reading this made me want to continue my college education. College is extremely hard, and I did not have much guidance going into it. I am also the procrastinator, and honestly, that is the worst thing ever because I would turn in assignments right at the deadline. -Abria Brown, a student at Mary Baldwin University
A great school is so much more than a building... it is a place where children feel accepted for who they are. It is a place where kindness and empathy are commonplace. It is a place where children know and feel that people are there for them and that they are safe and loved.
With its delightful watercolor illustrations of school life, School is More Than a Building paints a positive picture of a school environment where children know and understand that the people who work there care and look out for their best interests. When read aloud, children are reminded that they are part of a very special community and that schools are there for them.
The pandemic made it painfully clear just how sensitive children are to the world around them and how important schools are for many children's health and well-being. Unfortunately, for some children, schools are more than just a place for learning, they are also a place of refuge and escape. It is important that children are aware that schools are a safe place where there are people that they can trust and go to if they need help. School is More than a Building, it is a place where people listen.
In addition to celebrating schools and everything they do, School is More Than a Building is a great book to generate discussion about the many aspects of school life. At KelleyDonner.com/school-is-more-than-a-building you will find lesson plans, bulletin board ideas, activities and more that can be used on a school wide-level, in the classroom, or in your library.

Jessica Manack's Gastromythology is a meditation on how the ways we nourish - or fail to nourish - one another can form an origin story. From enjoying it, to shunning it, to becoming it, food is something with which modern girls and women have a complex relationship, all of which is explored unflinchingly in this volume. Through artfully-crafted verse in a variety of forms, Manack takes the reader from the awakenings of sexuality, to the microbiome of a mother's body, to the disorienting culinary landscape of a new country, all the while pondering the ways a person feeds, and is fed by, their landscape.
Translating God serves as an inspirational guide book that puts God's great love back into prophetic ministry as a primary goal full of real life stories that articulate the culture of love behind God's heart for the prophetic.
So much of the prophetic ministry is esoteric and a free for all in which people throw down the God card on anything they feel, but this book brings balance without taking away the desire to see the powerful nature of God displayed. On top of that, it's biblically based and is supported by scripture throughout each story, driving home the book's message of activating the ability to hear God's voice for each reader. Through a thought-provoking prophetic ministry philosophy and Shawn's glorious successes and very real failures, you will be inspired and equipped to:As an internationally known prophetic voice who has ministered to thousands--from political leaders to those on the streets--Shawn shares everything he has learned about the prophetic in a way that is totally unique and refreshing. Shawn aims for the higher goal of loving people relationally, not just pursuing the gift or information, and he activates you to do the same.

Homing asks how we can make a home in a multifaceted world. The poems explore how we may take care of ourselves and the communities to which we belong, including non-human ones, when we and they are put under pressure. What is necessary for creativity, for joy? The book suggests that by attending to the visions offered by the sensual and natural worlds and the voices in which memories sing and sting, we might succeed in asking what we want. From there, arrive at a garden that despite knowing brutality, welcomes life in its varieties and offers up bounties for all, where as sunlight dims, worker bees keep themselves and the colony alive.
