Product Description 
Currency War is an international thriller that only Lawrence B. Lindsey – economist, adviser to presidents, and Washington insider – could tell. \nIs it possible to wage war without weapons? Is it possible to win a war without firing a shot? These are the questions facing Ben Coleman after he finds himself a first-hand witness to a bank run in Beijing that ends up being brutally suppressed by the Chinese military.\nColeman, chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve under President Will Turner, realizes this is a harbinger of things to come… a suspicion confirmed by Li Xue, his counterpart in the Chinese government. Li is part of a modernizing movement that is locked in confrontation with a hardline faction headed by General Deng Wenxi. Deng sees the U.S. in a weak economic position and plans to make China the global superpower by replacing the U.S. dollar with the yuan as the world's reserve currency.\nSo begins a currency war between the United States and China – a war fought in dollars and yuan against a landscape of shifting international alliances and political infighting on both sides. Coleman's marriage is even compromised when his wife – a beautiful, retired MI-6 agent from England – is drawn back into the game of spycraft and intelligence gathering.\nAs the bloodless war rages, readers are taken on a roller coaster ride through the inner sanctums of power in the world – from the upstairs residence of the White House to the board room of the People's Bank of China; from a high society dinner party in London to the birth of a Political Action Committee at an exclusive Virginia resort; and from the bedrooms of the elite to the forbidden fleshpots of Laos.\nReview 
Lindsey has made a fast moving thriller out of economics. It’s a great read and frighteningly realistic. The well-informed reader might find himself or herself wondering where the fiction ends and the real world begins. -- Mike Pompeo\nLarry Lindsey has written an intellectual thriller that appropriately sounds the alarm bells when it comes to China’s diabolical plans for global dominance. In this epic financial page-turner, we see how Lindsey weaves all of the twists and turns of an action thriller with the very real struggle between nations for economic supremacy. As our world moves closer to Lindsey’s fictional account of what’s likely to happen, 
Currency War is a must-read! -- J. Kyle Bass\nDrawing on his deep experience serving three U.S. administrations, Dr. Lawrence Lindsey has crafted a spellbinding thriller. Filled with international intrigue, 
Currency War is a gripping ride through deceit and deception at the highest levels of power. -- Rep. Devin Nunes\nDr. Lindsey takes us behind the curtain on one of the most secretive and powerful institutions in the world - the Chinese communist party. His ability to weave real life headlines into this thriller is masterful and an important eye opener to the threats the free world faces in dealing with Communist China. -- Maria Bartiromo\nI picked up 
Currency War to browse through it, and last night when I put it down at about 2:00 a.m., I was more than halfway through it. I will finish it in the next day or so. Congratulations to Lindsey on writing what I think will be a very successful novel. It is important because he takes a dense topic, which is for some of us hard to understand, and tells a story in a wonderful way that makes it terribly interesting. -- Harlan Crow

The University that was at the heart of the research to discover the vaccines for the pandemic pens the story of how it all happened. In 2020, as COVID-19 threw the U.S. higher education system into turmoil, university administrators around the country debated whether it was prudent--or even possible--to teach students in person or conduct laboratory research amid a once-in-a-century pandemic. For the leadership at Vanderbilt University, the answer to the question was a resounding Yes. Viewing residential education and collaborative research as essential to its academic and societal mission, Vanderbilt was one of a small number of America's top universities to put rigorous safety protocols in place to allow students, faculty, and research personnel back to campus in the fall. Told with recollections and insights from Vanderbilt's leaders, students, faculty, and staff, and moving at a pace matching the events it describes, A Year Like No Other takes readers from Vanderbilt's near-shutdown in the spring through its reopening for the 2020-2021 academic year, providing an inside look at how the university coped not only with COVID-19, but also with a tragic night of tornadoes and the urgent calls for racial justice following the killing of George Floyd. A Year Like No Other also highlights some of the vital contributions that faculty at Vanderbilt and Vanderbilt University Medical Center have made to the development of COVID-19 vaccines and therapies, with research fueled in part by Dolly Parton, the beloved country music legend. A Year Like No Other captures a singular moment in the university's history while delivering a concise portrait of successful crisis management playing out amid the fast-changing circumstances of global health threats and a barrage of local hardships.

Management & Leadership

A female math whiz overcomes gender discrimination to achieve success in the stock options market and invests her profits in supporting struggling communities across the globe, only to be attacked by the SEC and lose her fortune to defend her honor.\nKaren Bruton’s passions collided in 2007 when she found her life’s work to use the power of business to make an enduring impact that transforms lives. Before founding Just Hope International, Karen had participated in numerous mission trips to feed the hungry, build churches, and drill wells. Her experiences convinced her that God was calling her to help people living in poverty and that handouts are a dead end to lasting change. While traveling to Peru in 2007, Karen experienced her first “Ah-ha!” moment in Anyana, a small village destroyed by two decades of attacks and oppression by Shining Path terrorists. During that trip, Karen brought guinea pigs, chickens, and seeds to people working to rebuild their lives. They used the livestock and agricultural supplies to grow businesses to provide sustainable and steady income. A hand up, says Karen, is the way to make a lasting difference.\nThat same year, Karen left the comfort of her corporate job, began trading professionally, and pursued her desire to make a lasting impact. She founded Just Hope International with the mission to empower people living in some of the world’s most difficult living conditions. Her focus is to help remarkable people provide for themselves by earning a sustaining household income. In addition to Karen’s service in Peru, Just Hope has implemented programs in Sierra Leone, Ghana, Togo, Panama, Honduras, Thailand, India, Malawi, and Nicaragua. Programs include agriculture training, savings groups, and business mentoring.\nToday Just Hope serves in Colombia, South America, achieving its mission of economic empowerment through orphan transition work known as Thriving Skills. Just Hope created this program to equip teenaged residents under institutional care with practical knowledge and skills for life once they age out, often by eighteen.

Product Description 
GOP 2.0 is both a book and a movement that unites people around a common view of civility and freedom. GOP 2.0 puts policy over politics. It aspires to make Americans great. It’s about Geoff Duncan’s “P.E.T. Project,” reviving the party with conservative Policies, genuine Empathy, and a respectful Tone.\n“I’m not the only conservative in America who wakes up wishing the past months were just a bad dream. I’m not the lone Republican who feels in my gut that our party is following the wrong path. And I’m not alone in believing there’s a better way forward.”\nAs Lt. Governor of the State of Georgia, Geoff Duncan never expected to find himself in the national spotlight – or in the crosshairs of the President of the United States. Then the 2020 Election and its aftermath brought the nation’s attention to Georgia. Amidst a hurricane of conspiracy and misinformation, Duncan spoke up for truth, conservative values, and the Republican Party he knows.\nDuncan had a front row seat as Georgia endured a long nightmare of fraud allegations, Presidential coercion, a dual runoff that flipped the U.S. Senate, and election reform that sparked national protests. He called for reason and principle even as Donald Trump viciously attacked him. He fought for “the silenced majority,” current or former Republicans who yearn for a party that can reclaim lost ground and leave behind the politics of dishonesty, disorder, and division.\nGOP 2.0 is Geoff Duncan’s vision, forged by his unexpected struggle for the party’s future. In his words, “GOP 2.0 is not a new party – it’s a better direction for our Republican Party.” In this refreshing and reinvigorating new book, a leader who has been through the fire lays out a better way forward, one that lifts up reasoned ideas, expands the party, and positions the GOP to win back the White House in 2024.\nAbout the Author 
A lifelong Republican, Geoff Duncan serves as lieutenant governor of Georgia, where he has earned a national reputation for fighting misinformation and standing firmly on principle during the aftermath of the 2020 Election, despite being in the crosshairs of the President of the United States. His ordeal led him to imagine a better way forward for his party – a vision he calls GOP 2.0.\nGeoff lived in seven states before moving to Georgia with his family and then attending Georgia Tech on a baseball scholarship before being drafted to play professional baseball. He pitched for six seasons in the minor leagues during which he lived in four more states. He returned to Georgia with his wife Brooke, became a successful entrepreneur, and began raising three boys; he has coached their sports teams almost every season.\nAfter serving in the Georgia House of Representatives, Geoff staged a winning underdog campaign for lieutenant governor. As a statewide leader, he has brought diverse interests together on issues like rural healthcare, tax reform, technology, and hate crimes. He has also advocated for conservative policy solutions that build partnerships between government and the 4Cs: Churches, Charities, Corporations, and Citizens. He has earned trust from both parties for consistently putting policy over politics.\nGeoff believes the Republican’s Party’s future lies in building larger coalitions by pursuing common-sense conservative Policies; showing real Empathy; and employing a better Tone. His bold and positive message has made him a national leader and voice for a reinvigorated party – a GOP 2.0 – that can reclaim the House, Senate, and White House.\nFollow him @GeoffDuncanGA and learn more at GOP2.Org.

Three million kids have grandparents parenting them.&nbsp;Are you one of those grandparents?&nbsp;Are you in need of some help?&nbsp;Are you in a crisis with your teen that you're not sure anyone has an answer for? There are natural communication barriers between grandparents and their teenage grandkids: * new and old cultures collide and the relationship sometimes flies out the window * hurtful words stab at a grandparent trying to help * memories are missed and arguments explode in a family Both grandparents and grandkids face these triggers, but from opposite sides. And sometimes they result in teens getting into drugs, kids smoldering in unexpressed anger that deepens into depression, and kids even harming themselves. The teenagers want attention and relationships; grandparents want to help. Help is available from author and well-known family expert Mark Gregston who has worked in teenage and family ministries such as Young Life and his own program, Heartlight, for over forty years. For Gregston, it's all about relationships. Teens need to find out why they think no one understands them. And they need help to guide them through this contradictory world.&nbsp;Grandparenting Teens&nbsp;is a valuable resource that helps grandparents love their teens and relate to them in genuine, honest, life-changing ways.&nbsp; This book gives practical tips on how to start grandparenting teens in a way that fosters connection. Mark teaches skills such as getting everyone to listen--really listen. As a grandparent, you can help your teen learn to paint their honest, big-picture perspective, so no one's left out of their world. They will learn gratefulness instead of giving grief. They will recognize when their grandparent understands their troubles and becomes their role model for life when everyone else turns away. And both grandparents and teens will find their point of contact--their bond. Gregston's stories will entertain you. They will teach you. They will move you. Some will even change your life. This book is a must for every grandparent who wants to continue to have an influence on the life of their teen grandchildren. In this ever-important role,&nbsp;grandparents can offer something to their grandkids that they can receive from no one else. &nbsp;
