  The Women of Rendezvous is a dramatic transatlantic story about five women who birthed children by the same prominent Barbados politician and enslaver. Two of the women were his wives, two he enslaved, and one was a servant in his household. All were determined to make their way in a world that vastly and differentially circumscribed their life choices. From a Barbados plantation to the center of England's empire in London, Hester Tomkyns, Frances Knights, Susannah Mingo, Elizabeth Ashcroft, and Dorothy Spendlove built remarkable lives for themselves and their children in spite of, not because of, the man who linked them together. 
   
   
   
  Mining seventeenth- and eighteenth-century court records, deeds, wills, church registers, and estate inventories, Jenny Shaw centers the experiences of the women and their children, intertwining the microlevel relationships of family and the macrolevel political machinations of empire to show how white supremacy and racism developed in England and the colonies. Shaw also explores England's first slave society in North America, provides a glimpse into Black Britain long before the Windrush generation of the twentieth century, and demonstrates that England itself was a society with slaves in the early modern era.

  The Holy Grail, the head of Christ, the elixir of life, vast treasure and powerful political conspiracies. All of these and more are part of the tale of that enigmatic warrior brotherhood we know as the Knights Templar. It is said they discovered a great secret buried deep beneath the Temple of Solomon and gathered together in-order to protect it from generation to generation. Over time they were feared by all their enemies, not least of which was eventually the Catholic Church itself. A powerful and mighty brotherhood with real hidden secrets that spanned across the known world and even beyond into the new world of the Americas. And all of this from the humble origins of a handful of supposedly poor warrior monks. 
   
  The truth is that the Templars had found great treasure. It gave them immense wealth, property and power. Their strength was so great that monarchs of Europe feared them and some plotted their demise. 
   
  But their treasure was more than material wealth; it was also philosophically, mystically and spiritually profound. So profound that it was in fact the ultimate secret that has been hidden and protected by secret societies ever since. Prepare to discover the truth.

  Red Cloud’s War: The History and...

  In the summer of 1866, Colonel Henry B. Carrington set out from Fort Laramie to establish a series of forts along the Bozeman Trail with the goal of protecting migrants moving along the trail. The Bozeman Trail ran through the Powder River country, which included the traditional hunting grounds of Lakota, Cheyenne, and Arapaho peoples. Carrington had about 1,000 people in his column, of which about 700 were soldiers and 300 were civilians, likely soldiers’ families and migrants. 
  The ongoing hostilities, which included the notorious Fetterman's Massacre, ultimately convinced American officials to head back to the negotiating table with the Native Americans, and as a result, Red Cloud has often been labeled the only Indian chief to win a war against the Americans. After that, however, Red Cloud continued to lead his people to reservations first near the Black Hills and later westward after the Battle of the Little Bighorn. Though he was respected as a war chief, it was his political functions as a spokesman of the Oglala that truly allowed Red Cloud to leave his mark over the last several decades of his life. Whereas Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse suffered premature deaths, Red Cloud outlived the other important leaders of the Sioux until dying in 1909 at 87 years old. Near the end of his life, he reportedly said, “They made us many promises, more than I can remember. But they kept but one -- they promised to take our land...and they took it.” 
  Red Cloud’s War: The History and Legacy of the Only 19th Century War Won by Native Americans against the United States analyzes the seminal moments that brought about the war, the war’s most famous battles, and the aftermath.

  The world is changing, it's getting increasingly more difficult to be a young person and to raise young people. Without a plan to navigate the change, you'll end up in ice-cold water you thought was warm. We get so attached to the identity of being a student, or an athlete, or the fact that we'll never be young again that we end up losing sight of what we can sustain long-term.  
  If you're in school now in your 20s, it's likely you're performing at less than 50% of your maximum potential. This book will help you pump those numbers up. 
  The Four Year Fantasy explores how College and University life can shape young adults in irreversible ways (GOOD and BAD). It outlines the skewed notions of what "the experience" is, and is meant to wake people up before they waste their "Superhuman years." This book offers insights on how to seize opportunities for personal growth and outlines the author's journey to success which includes breakthrough realizations that came from navigating the world with the social proof of a University student. 
  It's a student's guide to success, and a parent's guide to raising strong, smart, independent, and purpose-driven people. 
  For many readers, this will be the last three-hour lecture you’ll ever sit through...
