  Running from Bondage tells the compelling stories of enslaved women, who comprised one-third of all runaways, and the ways in which they fled or attempted to flee bondage during and after the Revolutionary War. Karen Cook Bell's enlightening and original contribution to the study of slave resistance in eighteenth-century America explores the individual and collective lives of these women and girls of diverse circumstances, while also providing details about what led them to escape. She demonstrates that there were in fact two wars being waged during the Revolutionary Era: a political revolution for independence from Great Britain and a social revolution for emancipation and equality in which Black women played an active role. Running from Bondage broadens and complicates how we study and teach this momentous event, one that emphasizes the chances taken by these 'Black founding mothers' and the important contributions they made to the cause of liberty.

  When darkness consumed the city that never sleeps... 
  In 1976, New York City became the hunting ground for one of America's most notorious serial killers. David Berkowitz, known as the "Son of Sam," transformed from an abandoned child into a monster who terrorized millions, changing the lives and habits of an entire metropolis. 
  This gripping audiobook takes you deep into the mind of a killer whose crimes weren't just about murder—they were about fame, recognition, and a twisted desire to be remembered. Through meticulously researched details, witness how loneliness, rejection, and psychological trauma can create a real-life nightmare. 
  Follow the unprecedented manhunt involving 300 officers, the largest in NYPD history. Experience the terror that gripped New York as women changed their appearance, couples feared leaving their homes, and an entire city lived in the shadow of random violence. 
  But the story doesn't end with his capture. David's shocking transformation in prison—from violent killer to peaceful Christian—raises profound questions about redemption, genuine change, and the nature of evil itself. His ultimate decision to refuse parole hearings challenges everything we think we know about justice and personal responsibility. 
  What happened when New York fell silent? Find out in this complete, unflinching examination of one of criminal history's most fascinating cases.

  A spirited dive into the life and career of a performer, writer, and director who dominated twentieth-century American comedy 
   
   
    
  Mel Brooks, born Melvin Kaminsky in Brooklyn in 1926, is one of the great comic voices of the twentieth century. Having won almost every entertainment award there is, Brooks has straddled the line between outsider and insider, obedient and rebellious, throughout his career, making out-of-bounds comedy the American mainstream. 
   
   
    
  Jeremy Dauber argues that throughout Brooks's extensive body of work—from Your Show of Shows to Blazing Saddles to Young Frankenstein to Spaceballs—the comedian has seen the most success when he found a balance between his unflagging, subversive, manic energy and the constraints imposed by comedic partners, the Hollywood system, and American cultural mores. Dauber also explores how Brooks's American Jewish humor went from being solely for niche audiences to an essential part of the American mainstream, paving the way for generations of Jewish (and other) comedians to come.
