Summary

In "The Real Pirates of the Caribbean (Complete Edition: Volume 1&2)," Captain Charles Johnson offers a compelling depiction of the Golden Age of Piracy, intertwining thrilling narratives with meticulous historical detail. This comprehensive work employs a vivid literary style, enriched by dramatic storytelling and a focus on notorious figureheads of the era, such as Blackbeard and Captain Kidd.

Captain Charles Johnson, an enigmatic figure often thought to be a pen name for the historian Daniel Defoe, was deeply entrenched in the maritime culture of the 18th century. His passion for the sea and its infamous rogues stemmed from a period of widespread fascination with various escapades that thrived in the Caribbean waters.

For readers seeking a riveting historical account bolstered by both urgency and authenticity, Johnson's "The Real Pirates of the Caribbean" is indispensable.

    This program is read by the author.The empowering, inspiring, patriarchy-smashing first audiobook by podcast star Drew Afualo. With a new afterword from the author!Drew Afualo is best known as the internet’s “Crusader for Women” and is at the head of a new generation of entertainment’s rising stars. Loud is part manual, part manifesto, and part memoir. It makes it clear that behind her fearsome laugh is a mission and a life philosophy, a strategy for self-confidence from the inside out, and a pathway to once and for all remove men from the center of how women and femmes think about themselves.Afualo has amassed more than nine million followers across her social platforms. When she first started creating content in 2020, she realized that men on Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, and other apps were creating sexist content aimed at disparaging women, and also containing rampant fatphobia, racism, and other forms of bigotry, with very real-life consequences. It didn’t take long for her to step into the role of unofficial watchdog for misogyny, and her signature laugh is now recognized as a feminist call to arms, a summoning cry to rid the internet (and our hearts, minds, and lives) of “terrible men” and create a space to fight outdated patriarchal ideals.A Macmillan Audio production from AUWA Books.

  • Life's Too Short to Pretend You're Not Religious - Reframed and Expanded - cover

    Life's Too Short to Pretend...

    We can't just be done with religion, argues David Dark. The fact of religion is the fact of us. Religion is the witness of everything we're up to—for better or worse. 
 
 
 
David Dark is one of today's most respected thinkers, public intellectuals, and cultural critics at the intersection of faith and culture. Since its original release, Dark's Life's Too Short to Pretend You're Not Religious has become essential reading for those engaged in the conversation on religion in contemporary American society. Now, Dark returns to his classic text and offers us a revised, expanded, and reframed edition that reflects a more expansive understanding, employs inclusive language, and tackles the most pressing issues of the day. 
 
 
 
With the same keen powers of cultural observation, candor, and wit audiences have come to know and love, Dark weaves in current themes around the pandemic and vaccine responses, Black Lives Matter, the #MeToo and #ChurchToo movements, critical race theory, and more. By looking intentionally at our weird religious background (we all have one), he helps us acknowledge the content of our everyday existence—the good, the bad, and the glaringly inconsistent. When we make peace with the idea of being religious, we can more practically envision an undivided life.
