Book Description
Wingo was a draft cross horse who was the best horse ever. He was such a character. If Wingo could talk, he would have told stories about the horses at the barn, the workers, and the riders. He knew where all the horses should be at all times. He was the big brother of all the horses. He knew as soon as I pulled up in my car to the barn, he would come galloping to the fence and give me a huge neigh. I decided to write a book about this gentle giant to give children a view of how horses can be best friends with their owners and riders.

Book Description
A finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize “A magisterial work of narrative history and original reportage . . . You can feel the tension building one cold, catastrophic fact at a time . . . A virtually unprecedented achievement.” —Mike Spies, The New York Times Book Review (Editors’ Choice) A Washington Post top 50 nonfiction book of 2023 | Short-listed for the Zócalo Book Prize One of The New York Times’ 33 nonfiction books to read this fall | One of Esquire’s best books of fall | A Kirkus Reviews best nonfiction book of 2023 Named a most anticipated book of the fall by The Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, and Bloomberg American Gun: The True Story of the AR-15 presents the epic history of America’s most controversial weapon. In the 1950s, an obsessive firearms designer named Eugene Stoner invented the AR-15 rifle in a California garage. High-minded and patriotic, Stoner sought to devise a lightweight, easy-to-use weapon that could replace the M1s touted by soldiers in World War II. What he did create was a lethal handheld icon of the American century. In American Gun, the veteran Wall Street Journal reporters Cameron McWhirter and Zusha Elinson track the AR-15 from inception to ubiquity. How did the same gun represent the essence of freedom to millions of Americans and the essence of evil to millions more? To answer this question, McWhirter and Elinson follow Stoner—the American Kalashnikov—as he struggled mightily to win support for his invention, which under the name M16 would become standard equipment in Vietnam. Shunned by gun owners at first, the rifle’s popularity would take off thanks to a renegade band of small-time gun makers. And in the 2000s, it would become the weapon of choice for mass shooters, prompting widespread calls for proscription even as the gun industry embraced it as a financial savior. Writing with fairness and compassion, McWhirter and Elinson explore America’s gun culture, revealing the deep appeal of the AR-15, the awful havoc it wreaks, and the politics of reducing its toll. The result is a moral history of contemporary America’s love affair with technology, freedom, and weaponry. Includes 8 pages of black-and-white images.

Pages : 160
Book Description
You might be wondering, why do I suddenly feel like writing a book, especially for my fellow firefighters. Let me explain. PTSD comes almost guaranteed for most of us, firefighters. On average, 100 firefighters lose their lives in the line of duty. However, that number doubles when it comes to firefighters who end up committing suicide. That is an alarming leap, and that is only a number that has been recorded. There are far more that go on to end their lives and are never recorded. The leading cause of suicide happens to be PTSD, which is why you can imagine my urgency and need to write this book. What we fail to realize is not only PTSD is causing us to suffer, but it is also putting our relationships in harm's way. These suicidal thoughts, the sudden burst of fear and rage, all can have drastic impacts on those who love us and care for us. Through this book, I also intend to rekindle the spark between couples and let them know how both of them must be there for each other. It is only possible once people accept one simple fact: "It's okay to not be okay!" This book, Building Grit, is all about how I went on to battle my PTSD and emerge victorious, back to live my life the way it was supposed to be lived. It is an account of what I did, and what you should do to seek help. It is a journey that reflects on some of the most horrifying experiences that I have dealt with, and those are only there to let you know that you are not alone. We are in this together, and together, we shall rise once again, bigger, better, and stronger. Nick Wingo was born and raised in Colorado. As a Colorado native Nick loves to be in the outdoors. Nick spent a better part of his childhood in the woods camping, or in the mountains snowboarding. Nick has spent the early part of his life as a firefighter paramedic where he has seen things that most people could never understand. Nick has a passion for people and loves to build relationships with the people surrounding him. Nick has spent time in Uganda on a medical mission where he gained a whole new perspective of the value of life. Nick loves to spend his time traveling to see the world. One of Nicks favorite places to be is in Thailand. Nick is married to his beautiful bride Desiree Wingo and has two amazing kids, Owen who is 9 and Analise that is 7. Nick is a family man, who sees the importance of spending time with those he loves. Nick puts God at the center of his life and holds his faith close to him. Nick is a man that wants to see the world and share his experience with anyone who is willing to listen.
