Timothy Garnes is a former Special Forces Green Beret who grew up in rural Brunswick County, Virginia. He is the father of 5 daughter's and 1 son, and was the first in his family to join the military, travel overseas, and graduate from college. His combined military, government contracting, and personal travels have taken him to over 30 countries around the world for a span of 34 years. Of that time, he spent 7 years living and working in Afghanistan, Iraq and Kuwait. After rubbing shoulders with Ethiopians, Kenyans and Somalis, he was led to travel up and down East Africa for a span of 11 years. During that time, he made 2 trips to Egypt, lived in Kenya for almost 4 years, and spent considerable amounts of time in Ethiopia trying to better understand the essence of our ancestors who laid the foundations of Ancient Kemet; and thus, the blueprints of civilization. In his heartfelt semi-autobiography, When My Heart Stops Beating, My Words Will Forever Breathe It, Garnes chronicles his experiences from his humble beginnings in the south to the systemic racism that permeates the core and fabric of American society. His story is one of courage, determination, inner-strength, the will to achieve and overcome, and triumph. He educates, awakens, exposes, inspires, uplifts and provides deeper insight for all African people; including African Americans, continental Africans, and others in the diaspora, to reconnect with their history and roots in the motherland.

The secret history of our most vital organ: the human heart. The Man Who Touched His Own Heart tells the raucous, gory, mesmerizing story of the heart, from the first "explorers" who dug up cadavers and plumbed their hearts' chambers, through the first heart surgeries -- which had to be completed in three minutes before death arrived -- to heart transplants and the latest medical efforts to prolong our hearts' lives, almost defying nature in the process. Thought of as the seat of our soul, then as a mysteriously animated object, the heart is still more a mystery than it is understood. Why do most animals only get one billion beats? (And how did modern humans get to over two billion, effectively letting us live out two lives?) Why are sufferers of gingivitis more likely to have heart attacks? Why do we often undergo expensive procedures when cheaper ones are just as effective? What do Da Vinci, Mary Shelley, and contemporary Egyptian archaeologists have in common? And what does it really feel like to touch your own heart, or to have someone else's beating inside your chest? Rob Dunn's fascinating history of our hearts brings us deep inside the science, history, and stories of the four chambers we depend on most.
