  In the intricate tapestry of our modern world, where the digital and the human are woven ever more tightly, a profound new framework has emerged to illuminate the nexus of our existence. This is the realm of the Antheoze Theory, a radical departure from traditional thought that dares to place the subjective, the embodied, and the spiritual at the very heart of our understanding. It is a theory born not from the cold, objective analysis of data, but from a deep, empathetic engagement with lived experience. As we stand at the precipice of an increasingly complex technological landscape, the Antheoze Theory offers a vital compass, guiding us to look inward and to consider the ethical and existential implications of our digital lives. It challenges us to move beyond the superficial and to explore the hidden depths of our relationship with technology, and in doing so, to redefine what it means to be human in the digital age. This is not merely an academic exercise; it is a call to consciousness, a plea for a more humane and meaningful future.

  “Davy Crockett buffs, Tennessee bibliophiles, genealogists, folklorists, historians, and the general reader should find this carefully researched and authoritative edition, which extricates the man from the myth, a valuable addition to the frontier history, biography, and literature of Tennessee and America.” 
  –Robert E. Dalton, Tennessee Historical Quarterly. 
   
  “This book. . . will go a long way toward separating the myths that grew up around Crockett and the actual facts. This will enable the reader to acquire a greater appreciation for this long-neglected Tennessean.” 
  –Sarah McMahon, Historical Review and Antique Digest 
   
  Authored in 1834 by David Crockett (1786–1836), with some editorial assistance from his congressional colleague from Kentucky, Thomas Chilton, the Narrative of the Life of David Crockett of the State of Tennessee is one of the most significant documents of the American pioneer experience in the first half of the nineteenth century. It describes the author's life from his first memories in eastern Tennessee through his progressive moves westward, his participation in the Creek War, his hunting experiences, and his political service in the Tennessee House of Representatives and the U.S. Congress. The book closes with Crockett's reelection to his final term in Congress (1833–1835), shortly before his fateful journey to Texas and his death at the Alamo in 1836.

  From historian-in-residence at the Presidential Pet Museum, Andrew Hager, comes a fond, fascinating, and often surprising look at the dogs who were the best friends of the presidents, featuring unforgettable photographs. 
   
  President Biden’s German shepherds, Major and the late Champ, are the latest in a long line of presidential dogs. Dating all the way back to George Washington, dogs have been constant companions to nearly all of America’s presidents. Of the past 46 presidents, 31 have had at least one dog at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. 
  Organized by historical eras, All-American Dogs will take readers through the captivating history of the White House’s four-legged friends, the impact they had on their owner-in-chiefs, and, ultimately, American history. From the assassination of President’s Lincoln’s dog after Lincoln’s own death to President’s Hoover’s Belgian shepherd, King Tut, who helped President Hoover win the election after appearing in a campaign photo, these furry members of the first family often had a lasting impact on the administrations that kept them. 
  As historian-in-residence at the Presidential Pet Museum, Andrew Hager will include original research and rare photographs from the National Archives to trace the history of America’s first dogs. From post-Revolutionary dogs, to Civil War era dogs, to Cold War dogs, Hager will show the differences and similarities of how our nation viewed man’s best friend. 
  Readers will learn not only past presidents’ dogs in each historical era, but also the cultural history of dogs as pets, and the ways in which Americans’ relationships with dogs has evolved over the past two centuries. 
  Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

  Philosophies of Language and...

  This book bundle contains the following three titles:  
  - Derrida: Jacques Derrida, one of the most influential philosophers of the 20th century, revolutionized the way we think about language, meaning, and interpretation. His development of the concept of deconstruction has left a profound impact on philosophy, literary theory, and critical thought. To understand Derrida's legacy, it is essential to explore the key elements of his intellectual journey and how his ideas continue to shape contemporary discourse. 
  - Deconstructionism: Deconstructionism emerged in the late 20th century as a philosophical and literary movement that fundamentally questioned the nature of meaning, language, and interpretation. It is primarily associated with the work of French philosopher Jacques Derrida, who, in the 1960s and 1970s, began to develop ideas that would challenge long-held assumptions in philosophy, literary theory, and critical thought. The movement was a response to structuralism, which sought to uncover the underlying structures that govern language and society. In contrast, deconstruction aimed to show that meaning is inherently unstable and that texts and concepts can never be fully fixed or understood in a singular, unchanging way. 
  - Michel Foucault: Michel Foucault, a French philosopher, historian, and social theorist, is renowned for his critical exploration of power, knowledge, and social institutions. Born in 1926, Foucault’s work spans a range of disciplines, from philosophy to sociology, psychology, and political science. His intellectual journey reflects a unique approach to understanding human societies, focusing not on abstract metaphysical systems but on the structures that shape human behavior, knowledge, and institutions.
