  The Book of Lambspring is one of the few real-life cases of a centuries-old book on alchemy. Nicolas Barnaud was a French Protestant writer, physician and alchemist, from Crest, in Dauphiné, from which he took the name Delphinas. He was a member of the Monarchomaques. He is associated with a number of mysteries.  
  His 1597 collection Commentariolum in Aenigmaticum quoddam Epitaphium, on the Aelia Laelia Crispis puzzle inscription, included the alchemical Mass of Nicholas Melchior, still of disputed authorship. The 1599 Triga Chemica: De Lapide Philosophico Tractatus Tres was the first publication of the Book of Lambspring.

  Escaping Slavery in America: The...

  The Underground Railroad is one of the most taught topics to young schoolchildren, and every American is familiar with the idea of fugitive slaves escaping to Canada and the North with the help of determined abolitionists and even former escaped slaves like Harriet Tubman. The secrecy involved in the Underground Railroad made it one of the most mysterious aspects of the mid-19th century in America, to the extent that claims spread that 100,000 slaves had escaped via the Underground Railroad. Of course, from a practical standpoint, the Underground Railroad had to remain covert not only for the sake of thousands of slaves, but for a small army of men and women of every race, religion and economic class who put themselves in peril on an ongoing basis throughout the first half of the 19th century, and in the years leading up to the war.  
  	Over 150 years later, that same secrecy has helped the Underground Railroad become so romanticized and mythologized that people often visualize it in ways that were far different from reality. Before the American Civil War eliminated slavery, it was a fixture in North America for over 200 years, and by 1850 a trained slave was worth approximately $2,500, around 10 times the sum of a typical annual salary in that day. As a result, the economic dependence on slavery in the South was an extreme one, and in the wake of the Fugitive Slave Act, black people in the North were under constant pressure to defend their “credentials” to bounty hunters and owners. Between the value of slaves in America, rising abolitionist sentiment at home and overseas, and political debates promoting or hindering the movement toward equality, the era in which the Underground Railroad operated cannot be easily fit into a concise body of principles, actions or geography.

  This 3-in-1 volume investigates how identity, social interaction, and constructed realities influence the development of youth within a constantly evolving world. 
  The first section, Youth and Society, examines the social roles, challenges, and transitions that young people face as they grow into adulthood. It explores how education, culture, media, and institutions affect youth identity, opportunity, and social mobility. 
  The second section, The Social Animal, delves into human social behavior with a special focus on youth. Drawing from psychology and sociology, it analyzes group behavior, conformity, interpersonal connection, and the deep need for belonging during formative years. 
  The third section, The Social Construction of Reality, explores how our perceptions of the world—including concepts like adolescence, success, and rebellion—are not just discovered, but socially constructed. This section helps readers understand how youth experiences are shaped by societal narratives and expectations. 
  Together, these three volumes offer an interdisciplinary lens on the transformation of youth and the broader changes shaping society.
