Boyd T: The Good Government League of
Polk County, Tennessee by Tyler L. Boyd

The Good Government League of Polk County, Tennessee by Tyler L. Boyd

COPE OR DIE

This is a true story about a street cop and the challenges he faced while trying to deal with the pitfalls and tragedies of life. The author of this "tell all" book writes of his experiences on the streets during years within the Law Enforcement community. Sometimes embarrassing, sometimes hilarious, and often raw. It's about the lifestyle, the addictive lure of the chase, and the emotional and physical costs endured along the way. The author uses some of the actual cases and real-world situations he encountered while pursuing his dreams and that elusive peace we all need so desperately. In all walks of life, we must learn to either cope or die. Follow Louis Schwiebert down the path to discover "the missing link." My name is Louis J. Schwiebert. I was born in California and went to Cuesta College and Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. My careers were in Law Enforcement and consulting. My hobbies are working-out at the gym and firearms training. Finding Jesus brought me to Christian ministry work 28 years ago and was the inspiration for my book.

The Missing Link

A revealing portrait of Judge James E. Horton Jr., whose quiet moral courage reshaped one of the most explosive legal battles in American history.A Man Visited by History illuminates what author Steven P. Brown calls the "last major Scottsboro trials–related subject to have eluded careful study": the life of Judge James E. Horton Jr., the white Alabama Eighth Circuit judge who set aside an all-white jury's guilty verdict and death sentence in the second trial of African American defendant Haywood Patterson. Of the three trial judges and more than one hundred jurors who considered the cases of the Scottsboro defendants, Horton was the only one to find that the evidence against them was virtually nonexistent. Horton was then removed from further involvement with the cases and, despite being on the fast track to political prominence before the 1933 retrial of the Scottsboro defendants, was defeated for reelection as circuit judge in 1934. His ruling in the Patterson case impacted the Scottsboro defendants' lives and continues to affect their legacies today. Brown researched largely untapped resources that, for the first time, illuminate who Horton was before the Scottsboro trials, what he faced presiding over Patterson's case, the factors that led him to overturn the jury's verdict, and his later life raising award-winning cattle. What emerges is a remarkably consistent picture of a man who, Brown argues, for more than ninety years, sought nothing more than to do what he thought was right. Historians of the South, the early twentieth century, the law, and race relations as well as general readers will find this intimate account of the judge in the infamous trials to be riveting and instructive.

The Bigger You Think

San Diego Rising is the definitive biography of a man whose character was as unyielding as the stone he quarried. Henry G. Fenton's story began on the windswept Iowa prairie with a dying father's mandate to his six-year-old son: "Take care of your mother and sisters." That single promise propelled Fenton through a brief stay in a San Francisco orphanage to the rugged San Pasqual Valley, where he herded hogs while barefoot and learned survival from Kumeyaay mentors.From mule skinner to industrial titan, Fenton outworked his rivals to supply the rock, sand, and gravel that paved modern San Diego. Yet, his legacy transcends the concrete foundations of the city. He was a preservationist ahead of his time, whose insight and deep historical convictions led him to quietly reserve key acreages for future generations of Californians. Some of those locations included Mission Bay, the San Pasqual Valley, and the land that would become the Safari Park.Drawing from a treasure trove of century-old artifacts in a privately held archive, Sandra E. Bonura uncovers a visionary who turned personal grief into public joy through his legendary "Old-Timers" picnics.San Diego Rising is more than a rags-to-riches tale. It is the portrait of a boy who never broke his word and a man who built a city with his heart.

The Henry G. Fenton Story

San Diego Rising

What is the difference between men and women? Jennifer Finney Boylan, bestselling author of She's Not There and co-author of Mad Honey with Jodi Picoult, examines the divisions-as well as the common ground-between the genders, and reflects on her own experiences, both difficult and joyful, as a transgender American. Jennifer Finney Boylan's She's Not There was the first bestselling work written by a transgender American. Since its publication twenty years ago, she has become the go-to person for insight into the impact of gender on our lives, from the food we eat to the dreams we dream, both for ourselves and for our children. But Cleavage is more than a deep dive into gender identity; it's also a look at the difference between coming out as trans in 2000-when many people reacted to Boylan's transition with love-and the present era of blowback and fear. How does gender affect our sense of self? Our body image? The passage of time? The friends we lose-and keep? Boylan considers her womanhood, reflects on the boys and men who shaped her, and reconceives of herself as a writer, activist, parent, and spouse. With heart-wrenching honesty, she illustrates the feeling of liminality that followed her to adulthood, but demonstrates the redemptive power of love through it all. With Boylan's trademark humor and poignancy, Cleavage is a sharp, witty, and captivating look at the triumphs and losses of a life lived in two genders. Cleavage provides hope for a future in which we all have the freedom to live joyfully as men, as women, and in the space between us.

Jeffrey Epstein: Asquerosamente Rico

An intimate portrait of Yanis Varoufakis's political awakening, told through the history of his extraordinary family 'Gripping and unforgettable. It reads like a thriller' BRIAN ENO Dramatic in scope and deep in feeling, Raise Your Soul traces three generations swept up in the whirlwind of history, across a century of occupation, civil war, Cold War fracture and economic crisis, from 1924 to the present. At its heart are Eleni, Anna, Trisevgeni, Georgia and Danaë - the women who shaped the visionary economist most, and whose resilience and courage inspire us to resist the forces of authoritarianism that still haunt our world. 'Written with a historian's grasp of events, an economist's rationalisation of how things work and, most of all, a storyteller's understanding of the human condition, this is not just Varoufakis's story, but ours' IRVINE WELSH 'Beautiful and inspiring, I couldn't put it down' ROSIE HOLT 'Fierce ... to sit with Varoufakis's words is a gift' ESTHER ANATOLITIS

Fifty-Two Years a Policeman

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! “A coming-of-age tale as relatable as it is extraordinary” (W Magazine), this is a candid look at Nobel laureate and New York Times bestselling author Malala Yousafzai’s experiences as a young adult contending with anxiety and PTSD, personal growth, identity, and love. This is not the story you think you know. It’s the one I’ve been waiting to tell. Thrust onto the public stage at fifteen years old after the Taliban’s brutal attack on her life, Malala Yousafzai quickly became an international icon known for bravery and resilience. But away from the cameras and crowds, she spent years struggling to find her place in an unfamiliar world. Now, Malala takes us back to her formative college years at Oxford. Through candid, often messy moments like nearly failing exams, getting ghosted, and meeting the love of her life, she reminds us that real role models aren’t perfect—they’re human. Finding My Way is a story of friendship and first love, of anxiety and self-discovery, of trying to navigate life as someone whose darkest moments threatened to define her narrative. “Finding My Way reveals the person beyond the symbol” (NPR), and testifies to the strength it takes to be unapologetically yourself.
