      One of the most dynamic entertainment figures of our time shares his life story in a brave and inspiring memoir that explores the alignment of outer success, inner happiness, and human connection. Will recounts his incredible journey from a fearful child in a tense West Philadelphia home to becoming a leading rap star and one of Hollywood's biggest movie stars, achieving unprecedented box office success. This epic tale of transformation and triumph is told with remarkable skill. However, Will's journey reveals that success is not just about personal achievements; his family felt like mere performers in his life, leading to a realization that his education was far from complete. This memoir reflects a profound journey of self-discovery, examining the balance between ambition and personal relationships. Collaborating with Mark Manson, author of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck, Will shares how he mastered his emotions and offers insights that can resonate with everyone. While few experience the pressures of performing on the world’s biggest stages, all can relate to the need for change in the fuel that drives us. This book combines genuine wisdom with an astonishing life story, placing it in a unique category alongside its exceptional author.

      Essays on the Pulmonates

      Populations of basommatophoran pulmonate snails are common and widespread throughout American freshwaters, especially in lakes, ponds, ditches, and calmer riverine margins. They are typically weedy in their life history adaptation, fast-growing and rapidly-spreading to colonize new habitats, with the ability to self-fertilize. The present volume is a collection of 29 essays on pulmonate systematics and evolution, originally published in blog form between 2006 – 2018, edited and reorganized thematically. Themes include the old tension between genetic and environmental components of morphological variance, the more recent tension between classifications based on morphology and those based on molecular tools, and the modern tension between gene trees and species trees. An historical perspective is adopted throughout, aiming to place nineteenth and twentieth century research into a twenty-first century context. Volume I in this series analyzed the results of a scientific survey of the freshwater gastropod fauna of the Atlantic drainages from Georgia to the New York line. The essays collected here in Volume II (Pulmonates), together with those in Volume III (Prosobranchs) and Volume IV (Ecology and Biogeography), will be essential companions to Volume 1, as well as to additional volumes on the gastropod faunas of interior drainages forthcoming.

      This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. This quick-reference handbook offers a concise and practical review of key aspects of the treatment of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in the era of primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI). In the context of STEMI, PPCI is the preferred mode of emergency revascularization. Access to PPCI is rapidly increasing and is now routinely practiced in both general and specialist hospitals and there has been a recent emphasis on developing STEMI networks to enhance and expedite the referral pathway. This coupled with concurrent developments to enhance the safety and efficacy of the PPCI procedure has heralded an era where STEMI interventions are increasingly considered an important subspecialty within interventional cardiology. Written by leading cardiologists who have been instrumental in the adoption of PPCI in their respective institutions, the book provides junior and senior cardiologists alike with insightful and thought-provoking tips and tricks to enhance the success of PPCI procedures, which may in turn translate into direct improvements in outcomes. The book is also relevant for healthcare providers and emergency department physicians.
