Joe Pepitone had it all. God given ability, leading man charisma, and an ego the size of Brooklyn. Yet throughout the course of his lifetime he threw away a potential Hall of Fame career, two marriages, and countless opportunities. Then one night, rock bottom hit him like a one hundred mile an hour fastball....the wrong place, the wrong car, and perhaps the last wrong turn of his life. Alone in a cold prison cell, the roar of Yankee Stadium a distant memory, Joe is visited by an apparition...a vision of a man who claims to know the path to redemption. They will embark on a wild ride through the peaks and valleys of Joe's life, in a last ditch attempt to right the wrongs. Along the way they will encounter the most serious threat to Joe's eternal existence...the greatest icon in the history of the game. A rivalry dating back sixty years has come full circle, and now each man has something to lose...in the battle for Joe Pepitone's soul.

In A Family Guide to Covid, William A. Haseltine answers tough questions about Covid-19 honestly, with equal measures of clarity and compassion.A new disease has spread across our world. Schools have shut down, people around the world have been asked to stay home, businesses are shuttered, economies are crashing. The sad state of affairs is not entirely new for Dr. Haseltine who remembers how polio overshadowed his young life. As he got older, he realized that diseases didn't just harm individuals, they crippled communities and devastated entire countries. He became a scientist, dedicating his life to understanding the diseases that threaten us most and figuring out ways to stop and prevent them. Today, Dr. Haseltine finds that his children, his grandchildren and many of his friends and extended family members are coming to him with question after question. Why have our lives changed? Are my children in danger? When will this be over? Will there be a vaccine or a cure and if so, when? When will our lives return to normal? This book attempts to answer those questions about COVID-19 honestly, with equal measures of clarity and compassion. It is written especially for those who are faced with the difficult task of not only protecting themselves, but of protecting their families, their children, their spouses, and their parents. Split into two sections, the first section seeks to give answers to questions that children and grandchildren may ask. Each question has in fact been asked by someone under twelve, some as young as four and five. The second section provides short answers to many of the difficult questions adults from ages eighteen to one hundred and ten ask themselves to understand this new reality. Again these are real questions people have asked. As our understanding of Covid-19 evolves, so too will this book. When a purchase is made, readers will be given entry to a password protected section of Dr. Haseltine's website. There, readers can download subsequent editions freely and have the most up to date answers to the most critical Covid questions of the day. As Dr. Haseltine sees it, "Our children and grandchildren will one day look back as I do and remember a time when disease stalked the streets and changed their life. My hope is that some of those children will be inspired to dedicate their lives to science and medicine so that their own children and grandchildren and for that matter no child anywhere should have to endure what they did."

Parents and students today are faced with an agonizing decision-send kids back into the classroom in the midst of a pandemic or keep them at home, straining the emotional bandwidth of families that have already been pushed to the limit during lockdown. Many parents and students feel alone in making their decision, unsure whether schools being open equates to them being safe. A Covid Back To School Guide: Questions and Answers for Parents and Students answers the most pressing question facing parents and students today-is it really safe to go back to school? Answering that question will never be simple, at least not until the pandemic is over, but A Family Guide to Covidprovides insight that might make the choice a little easier. In the book, Dr. Haseltine walks readers through a simple three step rule of thumb that every family can use to come to the decision that is best for them: What is our student's risk of becoming infected? What is our family's risk of severe illness? And is our school doing enough to protect students from an outbreak on campus?Each chapter of the book is followed by a series of questions and key takeaways to help parents and students evaluate their risk-questions to ask themselves, their school administrators, and their local leaders. While the question of going back to school is not a simple one, this book simplifies the steps needed to arrive at an answer.Like A Family Guide, the Back To School Guide is a living book that will be updated as our understanding of the disease and the nature of the outbreak changes. When you purchase a copy of the book, either in print or online, you will receive a special passcode that will give you online access to every subsequent edition of the book, as it is released. The first edition of the book is focused primarily on public schools serving students from kindergarten to grade 12. Subsequent editions will address the unique challenges students attending private schools and colleges will face. United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned recently that the world is facing a "generational catastrophe" because of Covid-19 school closures. As Dr. Haseltine puts it, "Our children and grandchildren will one day look back and remember a time when disease stalked the streets and changed their life. My hope is that something good comes of their experience and that they will be inspired to dedicate their lives to learning about science and medicine-whether in schools or learning remotely at home-so that their own children and grandchildren might never have to endure what they did."
Science As A Superpower

When you think about superheroes, what comes to mind? Muscle-bound men and women adorned in capes or hi-tech armor? Superhuman abilities like flying or x-ray vision? It's unlikely you thought of people in white lab coats looking through microscopes. But in real life, science is the most powerful superpower in the world. Think about it. Scientists have used their powers to make the once impossible happen: cure diseases, extend human life, feed the world, and bring us to outer space and beyond. They are, indeed, modern-day superheroes, saving and improving millions of lives.Dr. William Haseltine-or Dr. Bill as his friends call him-discovered the power of science at an early age. And now in his new book, Science as a Superpower: My Lifelong Fight Against Disease and the Heroes who Made it Possible, he shares his love of science with the hope of inspiring young people to pursue a life in science and someday make their own contributions to improve human life. Woven throughout are stories of his work with some of recent history's biggest scientific heroes, and of his many successes (and failures) as he learned how to harness the superpower that is science to build a successful-and deeply impactful-career of his own.
