"When life feels overwhelming, the best thing you can do is start moving." Running on Empty isn't just about running; it's about mental resilience, overcoming struggles, and finding clarity through the simple act of putting one foot in front of the other. After leaving the Army, I swore I was done with running. Years of grueling PT sessions had left me burnt out, convinced that running was a punishment. But civilian life presented its own battles-ones that weight training couldn't fix. In a moment of frustration, I laced up my trainers, hit the trails, and unknowingly set myself on a path to change my life. Told with honesty, grit, and humor, Running on Empty explores how trail running can be a powerful tool for mental well-being. More than just exercise, it offers a way to clear your mind, regain control, and reconnect with yourself. You don't need to be a natural runner or have expensive gear. Just take that first step. Sometimes, the best way to move forward in life is to literally start moving.

Fundamental Concepts for New Clinical Trialists describes the core scientific concepts of designing, data monitoring, analyzing, and reporting clinical trials as well as the practical aspects of trials not typically discussed in statistical methodology textbooks. The first section of the book provides background information about clinical trials. It defines and compares clinical trials to other types of research studies and discusses clinical trial phases, registration, the protocol document, ethical issues, product development, and regulatory processes. It also includes a special chapter outlining the valuable attributes that statisticians can develop to maximize their contributions to a clinical trial. The second section examines scientific issues faced in each progressive step of a clinical trial. It covers issues in trial design, such as randomization, blinding, control-group selection, endpoint selection, superiority versus noninferiority, and parallel group versus crossover designs; data monitoring; analyses of efficacy, safety, and benefit-risk; and the reporting/publication of clinical trial results. As clinical trials remain the gold standard research studies for evaluating the effects of a medical intervention, newcomers to the field must have a fundamental understanding of the concepts to tackle real-world issues in all stages of trials. Drawing on their experiences in academia and industry, the authors provide a foundation for understanding the fundamental concepts necessary for working in clinical trials.

Randall Wake got more than he bargained for during his trip to St. Thomas in the Caribbean. He enjoyed all of the sights that a tropical paradise had to offer; sun, beaches, drinks, music, and sex. What he didn't enjoy was the interruption of a disturbed US Navy Sailor. What starts as a quest to understand a tragedy ends in the discovery of something sinister happening to the Navy's new recruits. Set in the early 1990's, just after the infamous Tailhook Sex Scandal, this novel takes readers on a Hemingwayesque journey reminiscent of "The Sun Also Rises," through the torturous emotional depths of Camus' "The Stranger," and finishes with a grand finale that echoes "A Few Good Men."
