    Mob Rule in New Orleans is Ida B. Wells-Barnett’s searing investigative account of the 1900 lynching of Robert Charles and the violent wave of racial terror that swept across New Orleans in its aftermath. With unflinching clarity and journalistic precision, Wells exposes how police brutality, white mob violence, and institutional complicity united to create a deadly storm targeting the Black community. 
    Through firsthand reports, press analysis, and documented testimony, Wells dismantles the lies used to justify racist violence and shines a light on the horrifying consequences of state-sanctioned hate. This is not only a chronicle of one man's tragic fate—it is a landmark civil rights document and a bold act of truth-telling against a nation’s willful blindness. 
    Narrated with solemn respect and emotional gravity by Myriam Berger, this edition honors Wells’ legacy as a fearless crusader for justice and a foundational voice in America’s long struggle for civil rights. 
    A historic warning. 
    A record of courage. 
    A voice that still demands to be heard.

    A poetic treasury of spiritual insight, The Language of the Soul uncovers the original meanings of words to help us remember what it means to be fully aliveFor poet and spiritual teacher Mark Nepo, words have always been more than tools for communication—they are vessels of meaning, portals to the sacred, and medicine for the soul. In The Language of the Soul, Nepo explores the deep, often forgotten roots of 228 words from thirty-one languages and traditions, revealing their original, undiluted power to awaken, connect, and heal. Woven with stories from history, mythology, and the author’s own remarkable life journey, this is a rich and contemplative guide to the spiritual essence of language.Just as rivers and mountains erode over time, so too do the meanings of words. Nepo invites readers to walk beside him along a timeless river of understanding, where ancient expressions are reawakened and everyday language is imbued with depth and resonance. Whether it’s a word like “courage” or “forgive” or a lesser-known gem from Sanskrit, Hebrew, or Chinese, each entry becomes a doorway into timeless wisdom, offering moments of insight, stillness, and transformation.For seekers, artists, caregivers, and lovers of language, The Language of the Soul is both a spiritual lexicon and a personal companion. With the lyrical clarity that has made him one of our most beloved spiritual voices, Nepo reminds us that words, when opened with care and wonder, can carry us back to ourselves—and forward into the world with greater compassion, clarity, and grace.

    Unable to make the 1908 Pennsylvania German Society's annual gathering due to illness, their president-- businessman, religious leader, and politician, John Wanamaker--sent in a message he recorded "through this wonderful invention of Mr. Edison on the Edison phonograph." This recording recalls an anecdote of Leo Tolstoy's, in which the Russian writer stopped at the roadside and asked a farmer who was ploughing, "Friend, what would you do today if you knew positively you would die tomorrow?" 
     
    John Wanamaker (July 11, 1838 - December 12, 1922), born in Philadelphia, was a religious, civic, and political figure, as well as, founder of one of the first American department stores.

In addition, Wanamaker served as U.S. Postmaster General from 1889 to 1893 during the term of U.S. President Benjamin Harrison.
