Standout pieces invite readers into the harrowing ordeals and triumphant stories of escape, offering a vivid portrayal of individual and collective resilience that weaves a narrative as compelling as it is complex. Bringing together the voices of over thirty authors, this anthology features pivotal figures such as Frederick Douglass, Ida B.

This anthology is an indispensable resource for anyone seeking a comprehensive understanding of slavery through a literary lens.

    This work provides a concise synthesis of the key insights and analysis from Influence by Robert Cialdini. It is an independent summary, not the original book, and has no affiliation with or endorsement from the original publication. Created for readers who want a clear, thought-provoking overview, it distills the central themes and ideas while preserving the depth and relevance of the work. 
A classic study of why people say “yes,” this book explores six universal principles of persuasion—reciprocity, commitment and consistency, social proof, authority, liking, and scarcity. It reveals how these psychological triggers shape decisions, often unconsciously, and how they can be used ethically to guide behavior. At once scientific and practical, it equips readers to recognize when they are being influenced, and to apply the same principles responsibly in sales, leadership, and everyday interactions.

    A gripping true story of wartime espionage. 
 
 
 
Dundee, 1937. When housewife Mary Curran became suspicious of hairdresser Jessie Jordan's frequent trips to Nazi Germany, she had no idea that she was about to be drawn into an international web of espionage. Thanks to a tip off from Mary, MI5 and the FBI launched major spy hunts on both sides of the Atlantic. 
 
 
 
This is the true story of a decade-long series of Nazi espionage plots in Britain, Europe, and the United States. It shows how a Nazi spy's letter, posted in New York and intercepted in Scotland, broke spy rings across Europe and North America. And it reveals, for the first time, how that letter marked the genesis of an intelligence and security alliance that today includes the United States, the UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.

From the towering earthen pyramids of Cahokia to their sophisticated agricultural and political systems, the Mississippians created one of the most complex pre-Columbian civilizations in North America.   
Through resilience, innovation, and adaptation, these cultures thrived for centuries, shaping the heritage of the continent. Perfect for history enthusiasts, this book provides a deep dive into the lives, beliefs, and achievements of these fascinating early American peoples.
