  A crucial component of anti-Black racism is the unconscionable disparity in health outcomes between Black and white Americans. Sickening examines this institutionalized inequality through dramatic, concrete events from the past two decades, revealing how unequal living conditions and inadequate medical care have become routine. 
   
   
   
  From the spike in chronic disease after Hurricane Katrina to the lack of protection for Black residents during the Flint water crisis—and even the life-threatening childbirth experience for tennis star Serena Williams—author Anne Pollock takes listeners on a journey through the diversity of anti-Black racism operating in healthcare. She goes beneath the surface to deconstruct the structures that make these events possible, including mass incarceration, police brutality, and the hypervisibility of Black athletes' bodies. Ultimately, Sickening shows what these shocking events reveal about the everyday racialization of health in the United States. 
   
   
   
  Concluding with an examination of racialized healthcare during the COVID pandemic and the Black Lives Matter rebellions of 2020, Sickening cuts through the mind-numbing statistics to vividly portray healthcare inequalities. In a gripping style, Pollock shows the devastating reality and consequences of systemic racism on the lives and health of Black Americans.

  Are you searching for something more—a lasting peace and a purpose that the world cannot provide? In this profound and practical sequel to his classic, As a Man Thinketh, James Allen reveals the path to discovering the riches that lie within your own soul. 
  James Allen was a pioneer of the self-help movement, whose short but impactful life remains as instructive as his prose. Born in Leicester, England, in 1864, his world was shattered at age fifteen when his father, a businessman, was murdered in New York before dying. This tragedy forced Allen to leave school and work a series of jobs to support his family.  
  In 1903, he published As a Man Thinketh, a compact, powerful book that would become a cornerstone of New Thought philosophy and inspire millions worldwide. Its central premise—that the mind is the master-weaver of both inner character and outer circumstance—was revolutionary in its simplicity. 
  Seeking a quiet life to match his teachings, Allen and his family moved to the small coastal town of Ilfracombe. He rose at dawn daily to write and meditate in his garden, living the principles of mental discipline and spiritual serenity he espoused. 
  All These Things Added is not merely a book to be read; it is a map for the supreme spiritual journey. Written during the serene, contemplative years of Allen's own life, it reflects his mature philosophy, guiding you to gently dismantle the illusions of lack and fear to discover the one place where true freedom resides: the Kingdom of your own perfected self. 
  Through eloquent prose that speaks directly to the heart, you will learn to relinquish the burdens of selfish desire, cultivate a mind rooted in purity and love, and move from a life of struggle to one of divine ease. This is the core of Allen's enduring legacy: a call to stop seeking outwardly for what can only be found within. Your journey to the added life—a life of righteousness, serenity, and soulful triumph—begins with a single, inward step.

  The events that led to one of the most infamous moments in early American history began with a series of escalating tensions between two towering figures of the revolutionary generation. At the heart of this saga were Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr, whose personal and political differences culminated in a duel that would forever change the course of their lives and the nation. The rivalry between these men had been simmering beneath the surface for years, driven by conflicting visions of America’s future and a deeply personal sense of pride and honor. As the nation struggled to define itself, the intensity of political passions mirrored the violence that would erupt on a fateful morning along the banks of the Hudson River. 
  Hamilton, a key architect in establishing the new republic’s financial system and a fervent advocate for a strong central government, had found himself at odds with the more cautious and opportunistic Burr. Their interactions were marked by fiery debates and personal insults, each encounter stoking the flames of discord. This tension reached its climax when a series of statements and challenges, amplified by the politically charged atmosphere of the day, left little room for reconciliation. In the culture of honor that prevailed at the time, retreating or appearing weak was not an option, and thus the challenge to a duel was seen as an unavoidable, albeit tragic, path to vindication. 
  On that brisk morning, amid a landscape still haunted by the memories of revolution and laden with the promise of a new beginning, both men prepared to face each other under strict codes of conduct. The duel was not just a matter of personal honor; it was emblematic of the turbulent and often dangerous era in which the young nation was emerging.
