  All Roads Led to Gettysburg - A...

  It has long been a trope of Civil War history that Gettysburg was an accidental battlefield. Troy D. Harman argues for a new interpretation: once Lee invaded Pennsylvania and the Union army pursued, a battle at Gettysburg was entirely predictable, perhaps inevitable. 
   
   
   
  Most Civil War battles took place along major roads, railroads, and waterways. And yet this perspective hasn't been fully explored when it comes to Gettysburg. 
   
   
   
  Moreover, once the battle started, Harman argues, the blue and gray fought tactically for the two creeks that mark the battlefield in the east and the west as well as for the roadways that led to Gettysburg from all points of the compass. This is a perspective often overlooked in many accounts of the battle, which focus on the high ground—the Round Tops, Cemetery Hill—as key tactical objectives. 
   
   
   
  Gettysburg Ranger and historian Troy Harman draws on a lifetime of researching the Civil War and more than thirty years of studying the terrain of Gettysburg and south-central Pennsylvania and northern Maryland to reframe the story of the Battle of Gettysburg. In the process he shows there's still much to say about one of history's most written-about battles.

  The Complete Guide to College Transfer is a practical how-to for current and former college students who are considering transferring to a different college. Even though over a million students embark on the journey of transferring colleges every year, and over 40 million Americans have some college credits but no degree, few resources exist to guide them through the complex process of transferring institutions. Transfer specialist Jaime Smith fills the gap in support with this well-researched companion to help listeners: 
   
   
   
  ● find their perfect-fit transfer-affirming college with supportive services 
   
   
   
  ● navigate the transfer and financial aid application processes 
   
   
   
  ● maximize transfer credits 
   
   
   
  ● happily adjust to life after transfer, including working with an adviser, self-advocating effectively, and discovering community 
   
   
   
  Transfer students and the family members and professionals who support them understand that they deserve the same level of care and guidance that college-bound high school seniors receive. This book demystifies bureaucratic processes and offers a helping hand during a momentous time, instilling in future graduates the confidence that they can accomplish their goals.

  "One of those rare books that quickly became the standard work in its field." ―Anne Firor Scott, Duke University 
   
   
   
  Living with the dual burdens of racism and sexism, slave women in the plantation South assumed roles within the family and community that contrasted sharply with traditional female roles in the larger American society. 
   
   
   
  This revised edition of Ar'n't I a Woman? reviews and updates the scholarship on slave women and the slave family, exploring new ways of understanding the intersection of race and gender and comparing the myths that stereotyped female slaves with the realities of their lives. Above all, this groundbreaking study shows us how black women experienced freedom in the Reconstruction South—their heroic struggle to gain their rights, hold their families together, resist economic and sexual oppression, and maintain their sense of womanhood against all odds. 
   
   
   
  Winner of the Letitia Woods Brown Memorial Book Prize awarded by the Association of Black Women Historians.

  Rebound - Sports Community and...

  From basketball hoops to cricket bats, the role community sports play in our cities and how crucial they are to diversity and inclusion.
  		 
  “The virus exposed how we live and work. It also revealed how we play, and what we lose when we have to stop.” For every kid who makes it to the NBA, thousands more seek out the pleasure and camaraderie of pick-up basketball in their local community centre or neighbourhood park. It’s a story that plays out in sport after sport – team and individual, youth and adult, men's and women's. While the dazzle of pro athletes may command our attention, grassroots sports build the bridges that link city-dwellers together in ways that go well beyond the physical benefits. The pandemic and heightened awareness of racial exclusion reminded us of the importance of these pastimes and the public spaces where we play. In this closely reported exploration of the role of community sports in diverse cities, Toronto journalist Perry King makes an impassioned case for re-imagining neighbourhoods whose residents can be active, healthy, and connected.
  		 
  “I couldn’t stop reading Perry King’s Rebound. An evocative essay about the transformative and uniting power of local sports in a city with residents from every country in the world, the book is well researched, entertaining, and informative. It spoke to my own experiences as a young athlete fitting into a new city when I first came to Toronto – and to the importance our city government must place on local recreation and sports if our city is to help all residents reach their potential. A fantastic contribution to understanding Toronto – and to the power of local recreation in any major city.” —David Miller, former mayor of Toronto
