Happy Dreams of Liberty - An...

R. Isabela Morales

When Samuel Townsend died at his home in Madison County, Alabama, in November 1856, the fifty-two-year-old white planter left behind hundreds of slaves, thousands of acres of rich cotton land, and a net worth of approximately $200,000. In life, Samuel had done little to distinguish himself from other members of the South's elite slaveholding class. But he made a name for himself in death by leaving almost the entirety of his fortune to his five sons, four daughters, and two nieces: all of them his slaves. 
 
 
 
In this deeply researched, movingly narrated portrait of the extended Townsend family, R. Isabela Morales reconstructs the migration of this mixed-race family across the American West and South over the second half of the nineteenth century. Searching for communities where they could exercise their newfound freedom and wealth to the fullest, members of the family homesteaded and attended college in Ohio and Kansas; fought for the Union Army in Mississippi; mined for silver in the Colorado Rockies; and, in the case of one son, returned to Alabama to purchase part of the old plantation where he had once been held as a slave. In Morales's telling, the Townsends' story maps a new landscape of opportunity and oppression, where the meanings of race and freedom—as well as opportunities for social and economic mobility—were dictated by highly local circumstances.

Vikings in America

Graeme Davis

When Columbus claimed to have discovered America in 1492, and the Borgia Pope claimed it as a New World for Catholic Spain, the Vatican started a 500 hundred year conspiracy to conceal the true story of Viking America. In this groundbreaking work by the author of The Early English Settlement of Orkney and Shetland, the true extent of the Viking discovery and colonization of the eastern seaboard of America is fully examined, taking into account the new archaeological, linguistic, and DNA evidence which supplements the historic account. For four centuries or more, from their first visits around AD 1000 to the eve of the Columbus voyages, the Vikings explored and settled thousands of miles of the coasts and rivers of North America. 
 
 
 
From New York's Long Island to the Canadian High Arctic, the New World was a playground for Viking adventurers. And the name the Vikings gave to this New World—America.

Exploration and Expansion -...

Harris Ropes

This collection explores how seafarers, steppe warriors, and rising dynasties carved out vast territories and left lasting legacies across continents. 
Begin with The Viking Age, a period of daring maritime expeditions, raids, and settlements that extended from Scandinavia to the British Isles, France, and even North America. The Vikings were not only fierce warriors but also skilled navigators and traders, spreading influence from Iceland to Byzantium. 
Next, follow The Rise of the Ottoman Empire, which emerged in the late medieval period as a powerful force that bridged Europe and Asia. From humble beginnings in Anatolia, the Ottomans grew into an imperial power that would eventually reshape the political and religious map of the region. 
Conclude with The Mongol Empire, the largest contiguous land empire in history. Led by Genghis Khan and his successors, the Mongols connected East and West through military conquest and an unparalleled trade network that facilitated the movement of goods, technologies, and ideas across Eurasia. 
Together, these three explorations of expansion demonstrate the far-reaching ambitions and transformative power of medieval societies that shaped the world far beyond their borders.

Peak of the Devil: 100 Questions...

Chip Haynes

What’s that peak oil thing you keep jabbering on about? 
“Peak oil” is the phrase used to describe the point where the world’s oil supply, well, peaks. A fairly easy concept there. It’s the best we can do, and the best we will ever do, when it comes to pumping conventional crude oil out of the ground. After peak oil, it’s all downhill, production-wise. 
Too many people think that peak oil means that the oil is going to run out, and that’s not quite right. The oil will not run out. Not ever. It will, over time, get increasingly rare and probably expensive (before it’s worthless), but there will always be at least a little bit of oil for us to use. Well, for someone to use. Probably not you and me, unless I sell a whole shipload of books. No pressure.
