"From celebrated music writer Dan Ozzi comes a comprehensive chronicle of the punk music scene's evolution from the early nineties to the mid-aughts, following eleven bands as they dissolved, "sold out," and rose to surprise stardom. From its inception, punk music has been identified by two factors: its proximity to "authenticity," and its reliance on an antiestablishment ethos. Yet, in the mid- to late '90s, major record labels sought to capitalize on punk's rebellious undertones, leading to a schism in the scene: to accept the cash flow of the majors, or stick to indie cred?Sellout chronicles the evolution of the punk scene during this era, focusing on prominent bands as they experienced the last "gold rush" of the music industry. Within it, music writer Dan Ozzi follows the rise of successful bands like Green Day and Jimmy Eat World, as well as the implosion of groups like Jawbreaker and At the Drive-In, who buckled under the pressure of their striving labels. Featuring original interviews and personal stories from members of eleven of modern punk's most (in)famous bands, Sellout is the history of the evolution of the music industry, and a punk rock lover's guide to the chaotic darlings of the post-grunge era.

The Art of Resiliency paints a living portrait of one soul who was born into a war-torn country, survived the Vietnam War, restarted in the United States, recovered from a fatal car crash, and became a witness of God's grace. Vu Tran looks back at surviving the Vietnam War and the struggles he and his family faced after coming to the United States of America as refugees. Through hard work, he made a life for himself in a new country, but everything changed on Good Friday, April 13, 1990. That was the day when a drunken driver struck the car he was riding in with his fiancée. The accident happened so fast that he did not have time to blink-and just like that, his bride-to-be was taken from him. While he survived, he entered a period of deep depression. It was only through a better understanding of faith and spirituality that he was able to evolve and push forward. Join the author as he shares how the grace of God allowed him to master the art of resiliency and nurture the fruit of misfortune to harvest golden opportunities.
