Summary

More than two decades have passed since Youngstown lost its beloved Strouss' Department Store. But Youngstowners can still taste those incomparable chocolate malts, see the dramatic view from the store's mezzanine and feel the excitement of the annual Thanksgiving Day parade. The story of Strouss' kept pace with the powerful trends that defined Youngstown as a whole. This was especially true during the boom years of the early twentieth century, when the store was the shopping hub in a community known as "America's Ruhr Valley." But the city changed, and Strouss' changed with it. In this unprecedented historical narrative, Welsh and Geltz dig deep into Strouss' past to uncover a dramatic story that will surprise--and delight--Youngstowners of all ages.

    Alpha Male - The Complete Guide...

    The term "alpha male" has often been misunderstood, misrepresented, and even maligned in various contexts. It has been associated with notions of dominance, aggression, and toxic masculinity. However, at its core, being an alpha male is about much more than mere dominance; it's about embracing a mindset of confidence, leadership, authenticity, and integrity. 
      
    In this comprehensive guide, we will delve into the history, psychology, and evolution of the alpha male archetype. We will explore the traits and characteristics that define the alpha male, and we will provide practical strategies and techniques for developing these traits within ourselves. 
      
    But let me make one thing clear from the outset: this book is not about promoting a one-size-fits-all approach to masculinity. We recognize that masculinity is a diverse and multifaceted concept, and there is no single "right" way to be a man. Instead, our aim is to empower readers to cultivate their own unique expression of masculinity—one that aligns with their values, strengths, and aspirations.
