The American Transportation...

Aaron W. Marrs

In the first half of the nineteenth century, transportation in the United States underwent an extraordinary transformation. In The American Transportation Revolution, Aaron W. Marrs explores the cultural influence of steamboats and railroads, which fascinated Americans across the country. 
 
 
 
Demonstrating the wide cultural reach of steam transit, Marrs draws from an eclectic set of sources, including children's books, comic almanacs, musical works, sermons, etiquette guides, cartoons, and employee rulebooks. This rich tapestry of cultural production helped "naturalize" steam technology for Americans before they ever encountered steam transit in person. Before ever seeing a railroad, Americans could read a novel that took place on a railroad, see an image of a train on currency, or purchase piano music imitating a train. These cultural artifacts made these new forms of transport feel familiar and natural. 
 
 
 
Marrs examines how cultural norms about travel emerged through the prescriptions of etiquette authors and the actions of travelers themselves, how enslaved people made innovative use of transportation networks to escape from slavery, and much more. Marrs convincingly demonstrates steam transportation's broad cultural impact on the United States, and how Americans, in turn, imprinted their own meaning on this new technology.

CBT Workbook for Teens -...

David Lawson PhD

Do fears, excessive worries and anxiety prevent your child from living what should be the best and most carefree years of their life? 
Wouldn't it be nice if you could just flip a switch and make his or her shyness disappear? 
Have the various strategies that you have used been useless, leaving you with the feeling that you have missed something? 
I recommend that you read and have your child read this manual if, in the past three months, he has been overwhelmed by:Nervousness and irritability: adolescents may feel nervous or angry for no reason.Sleep disturbances: difficulty falling asleep, interrupted or shallow sleep or early awakening or, conversely, hypersomnia, or the need to sleep more than necessary.Outbursts of anger: sometimes girls or boys, even quiet or introverted ones, may have outbursts of anger or fits of tears for no apparent reason.Distractibility, loss of contact with the outside world: sometimes, some adolescents are so caught up in their malaise that they appear extremely disoriented or detached from reality.Depressed mood, negativity, pessimism and low self-esteem.Physical symptoms: anxiety in adolescence often manifests itself mainly through the body. Headache, stomach pain, abdominal pain, chest pain, diarrhoea, muscle aches and the need to urinate frequently are just some of the most common somatic symptoms. 
Unlike other publications, this book isn't just for teens. Anyone can use it. And it doesn't read like a college course, it'll let you know what's going on in a teenager's head. 
In reality, there is no aspect of your life in which this workbook is not helpful. So why let shyness and anxiety rule your life any more?

God-Given or Bust - Defeating...

Cheryl K. Chumley, Pastor Jack...

In America, either rights come from God—or they don't. This is the ultimate war, and God-Given or Bust tells how patriots can win. 
 
 
 
American exceptionalism is rooted in the idea that individual rights come from God and government is only in place to preserve and protect those rights. But America's losing sight of that concept. America's turning into a country where the government grants rights and privileges to only those the government deems worthy—and takes them from those it deems unworthy. This is not how the Founding Fathers envisioned the nation; this is not how the concept of inalienable rights coming from a Creator works. Rather, this is how Marxism, communism, and collectivism spread. 
 
 
 
If we want a nation that's free for generations to come, then we must reclaim the notion of God-given and ditch the idea of government-granted. The only way to do that is for Americans of faith to rise up and inject biblical values and godly principles into government, culture, and society, and put God once again at the center. It's time to demand the God-given—or the great American experiment will come to an end.
