Gregory Efthimios Louganis (born January 29, 1960) is an American Olympic diver, LGBT activist, and author who won gold medals at the 1984 and 1988 Summer Olympics, on both the springboard and platform. He is the only man and the second diver in Olympic history to sweep the diving events in consecutive Olympic Games. He has been called both "the greatest American diver" and "probably the greatest diver in history". Breaking the Surface is the unflinchingly honest story of a man breaking free of a lifetime of silence and isolation. Born to a young Samoan and Northern European Mother, adopted at nine months by Pete and Frances Louganis, Greg began performing at age three in local dance and acrobatic competitions. He started diving lessons at age nine, and at sixteen he won a silver medal at the 1976 Montreal Olympics. But despite his astonishing athletic skill and artistry on the diving board, Greg struggled with late-detected dyslexia, prejudice toward his dark skin coloring, and anguish over his sexual orientations,which he felt compelled to hide.

New York: Random House, 2023. First U.S. Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. xiv, 656, [2] pages. Maps. Illustrations. Notes. Index. Extracted from the author's online posting: I’ve been a writer since my kindergarten days. When I went to college at the University of Alabama, I realized that journalism was a way to tell real-life stories that could be just as captivating as fictional ones. At Alabama I joined the school newspaper, The Crimson White and became editor-in-chief, the second-ever black person to serve in the role. We covered issues ranging from racism in the Greek system to politics in student government. The most challenging assignment was grappling with a devastating tornado that ravaged our city and state in 2011. It was the first time I was forced to make sense of a tragedy. After college I worked for seven years as a technology and business reporter at Time magazine and later at the media startup The Ringer. I examined the ways their products were transforming the world, from Airbnb gentrifying neighborhoods to Facebook warping social discourse through the creation of the Like button. I preferred writing about real people. In particular I was always looking for more chances to tell black people’s stories, especially in ways I wasn’t seeing in other forms of media. In 2019 I moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma to pursue a project about Tulsa’s Greenwood District and the impacts of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. That project became Built From the Fire, which follows several families’ stories from before 1921 all the way to the present day in Greenwood. Built From the Fire was named a top book of the year in 2023 by the New York Times and the Washington Post. More

Boston, MA: Little, Brown and Company, 1994. First Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. 24 cm. [12], 558, [6] pages. Illustrations. Endpaper maps. Index. Long Walk to Freedom is an autobiographical work written by South African President Nelson Mandela, and first published in 1994 by Little Brown & Co. The book profiles his early life, coming of age, education and 27 years in prison. Under the apartheid government, Mandela was regarded as a terrorist and jailed on the infamous Robben Island for his role as a leader of the then-outlawed ANC. He later achieved international recognition for his leadership as president in rebuilding the country's once segregated society. The last chapters of the book describe his political ascension, and his belief that the struggle still continued against apartheid in South Africa. Mandela dedicated his book to "my six children, Madiba and Makaziwe (my first daughter) who are now deceased, and to Makgatho, Makaziwe, Zenani and Zindzi, whose support and love I treasure; to my twenty-one grandchildren and three great-grandchildren who give me great pleasure; and to all my comrades, friends and fellow South Africans whom I serve and whose courage, determination and patriotism remain my source of inspiration."
