  The Underground Railroad in Ohio

  Ohio was at the heart of it all. 
   
   
   
  During a dark time in United States history, thousands of freedom seekers traveled the Underground Railroad through Ohio. The Buckeye State hosted about half of all fugitive slave traffic of the antebellum era. A mix of Northern and Southern settlers in the state added drama to a struggle that led to major benefits for the state and the country. Unfortunately, this epic past was obscured by silence and secrecy and then distorted with misinformation and folklore—until now. 
   
   
   
  Author and native Ohioan Kathy Schulz accurately details the development and workings of Ohio's Underground Railroad with true stories of Addison White, John Parker, and others.

  Bohemians - A Very Short...

  David Weir

  • 0

  The Romantic myth of Bohemia originated in the early nineteenth century as a way of describing the new conditions faced by artists and writers when the previous system of aristocratic patronage collapsed in the wake of the Age of Revolution. Without the patron system, the artist was free to move around, to seek an audience wherever fortune beckoned. This marketing model likening the artist's vagabond career to the "gypsy" life helps to explain part of the bohemian myth, but not all of it. Most bohemians have scant interest in commercial gain and are not so itinerant after all, confining their movements to down-market urban neighborhoods where the rent is cheap and the morals are loose. 
   
   
   
  This Very Short Introduction traces the myth of Bohemia through its various fictional manifestations, from Henry Murger's novel Scenes of Bohemian Life and Giacomo Puccini's opera La Bohème to Aki Kaurismäki's film La vie de Bohème and Jonathan Larson's musical Rent. It goes on to examine the history of different bohemian communities, including those in the Latin Quarter of Paris and the Greenwich Village neighborhood of New York. David Weir also considers the politics of Bohemia and traces the careers of the artists Gustave Courbet and Pablo Picasso and the great chanteuses Yvette Guilbert, Fréhel, and Edith Piaf in the Montmartre neighborhood of Paris.

  The Flower of the House of Ming

  Manly P. Hall

  The Flower of the House of Ming is a poetic and philosophical reflection by Manly P. Hall, first published in his periodical The All-Seeing Eye. Written with delicate insight and symbolic richness, this esoteric essay blends Chinese mysticism, alchemical allegory, and spiritual aspiration into a tale of transcendent beauty. 
  The “flower” of the Ming house is both literal and metaphorical—an emblem of purity, wisdom, and the highest virtues cultivated through inner discipline. As with many of Hall’s writings, it is a subtle initiation—a meditation for the student of spiritual philosophy to unlock with contemplation. 
  This new edition from Adultbrain Publishing preserves the elegance of Hall’s original words while presenting the text in a refined format for the modern seeker.
