  Unleashing my RAD potential -...

  Everyone has dreams but most of them stay dreams. This is not a story about super powers or luck; no, this is a true, unfiltered story how a normal girl with normal talents and a normal background made her dreams come true. 
  Because it is unfiltered, there are opinions that might seem offensive. But this book’s intention is the contrary – to encourage the reader to think freely and independently from what is the norm and popular opinion. 
  It is a story about what it takes to pursue what you want to achieve in life, dealing with failures, wrong decisions and doubt. It is about going for the wrong career, dealing with eating problems, giving up on pursuing a dream and being confused about what you actually want in life. 
  But this book is also about how passion, authenticity, determination and love for life make the seemingly unachievable possible– whether it is at work, sports or other parts of life. 
  This book is RAD because that is Monika’s philosophy for making it possible.

  From feared NHL sniper to ship captain and bellhop — with hockey’s greatest ‘stache
   
  Only 20 men in NHL history have scored 60 or more goals in a single season: Gretzky, Lemieux, and Hull all hit the magical mark. And so did an undersized, take-no-prisoners centre named Dennis Maruk. When Maruk found the back of the net 60 times in 1981–82, he was the toast of Washington — he even dined with the president. A few short years later, he was out of the game. Maruk not only left the rink, his life did a complete 180. Instead of flying up the ice and in on goal, he was behind the wheel of a service ship in the Gulf of Mexico. Instead of setting up teammates, he was setting up furniture for Goldie Hawn. He was never sent down to the farm as a rookie, but after the game he was a farmhand for John Oates. And instead of fighting in the corners, Dennis Maruk found himself fighting for his life.

  From the Duck Dynasty star and #1 New York Times bestselling author comes a rollicking popular history of fishing in America. 
  American Fisherman traces the impact fishing has had in shaping America’s history, and reveals the influential role it has played in defining our lives. Willie Robertson persuasively argues that America became what it is today in no small part because of the anglers that call it home. From harvesting New England cod to fly fishing for Yellowstone trout to raising Pacific Northwest salmon, the fishing industry has long played an essential role in the establishment of many of the nation’s earliest ports, most notably along the East Coast. Robertson explores how fishing has informed our culture, in literature, movies, and television, from classics like The Old Man and the Sea, A River Runs Through It, and Moby-Dick to The Perfect Storm, In the Heart of the Sea, and The Deadliest Catch, to popular local television fishing programs from coast to coast. 
  Robertson also analyzes the economics of this $50 billion annual business which supports a host of industries, including tourism and manufacturing, as well as conservationism. Told in Robertson’s charming down-home voice, American Fisherman is a spirited and unique look at America and its people.

  Michael Hurley watched his world unravel in the wake of infidelity, divorce and failure. In August 2009, he was short of money, out of a job, and seeking to salvage a life that had foundered. Deeply in need of perspective, he took to the open seas in a 32-foot sailboat, Gypsy Moon. The story of his 2-year outward odyssey, deterred by rough weather and mechanical troubles, combines keen observation, poignant thoughts, and deeper introspection with glorious prose. Once Upon a Gypsy Moon also presents a rare and much-needed point of view on the familiar spiritual-journey narrative. It offers a star-crossed love story wrapped inside a rollicking good sea tale, but it also has something important to say to the reader about relationships, faith and disbelief, life and death, love and marriage, and what really matters.
