Flee North is a Pulitzer Prize-winning account of Thomas Smallwood, an American abolitionist, liberator, and writer who led hundreds out of slavery and named the underground railroad. Born into slavery, Smallwood was free and self-educated by the 1840s. He and Charles Torrey organized mass escapes from Washington, Baltimore, and surrounding counties to freedom in the north. Smallwood documented the escapes in satirical newspaper columns, mocking slaveholders, traders, and police. The book offers a powerful narrative set in cities still plagued by racial inequity today.

    This book is a chronicle of a personal search for spiritual enlightenment. John Mucai starts by finding out what religion means. He then looks at the different religions in the world today and zeros in on four major ones: Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism. The followers of these four religions account for approximately 80% of the world’s population. He looks at their beliefs, practices, and sacred texts. 
    While the book would be of immense interest to theologians, it is not a book on theology. Instead, it is an attempt by the author to seek spiritual enlightenment by sifting through religious literature. The author’s findings are illuminating. Every reader will find something of value in the book to give their life a better meaning.

    On 10 June 1980, during the Border War, the SADF's 61 Mechanised Battalion Group attacked a complex of Swapo military bases in southern Angola. A long day of bloody fighting ensued.
    Second Lieutenant Paul Louw led Platoon 1, in four Ratel infantry fighting vehicles, to an objective called Smokeshell. After emerging from a dry riverbed, the young national servicemen suddenly found themselves facing a heavily defended enemy position and under deadly fire.
    In the ensuing chaos of that day, 12 troopies of Louw's platoon of 44 were killed and he himself was wounded. The 18-year-old HP Ferreira was shot through the pelvis by a 14,5 mm anti-aircraft round and also hit by AK-47 bullets. He miraculously survived.
    Blood Brothers records the dramatic events of that horrific day, in the words of the survivors of the battle, and follows members of Louw's platoon on their long journey of healing and recovery. It investigates the human cost of war after the last shots have been fired and follows the veterans as they return to the battleground four decades later in search of peace.

    One of the first books to explore this influential spiritual and magical tradition, covering its philosophy while also providing a practical hands-on guide. 
     
     
     
    Espiritismo is the Spanish word for Spiritism or Spiritualism, spiritual traditions that emerged to great popularity in the US following the Civil War. 
     
     
     
    In the US and Canada, Spiritualism's primary focus was on communication between the living and the dead. The spiritual tradition traveled around the world, especially in Latin America, where it evolved in different ways. 
     
     
     
    The Puerto Rican influence on modern Western magic is profound but largely unheralded. Beginning in the early twentieth century, Puerto Rican immigrants to the US introduced Espiritismo to the US spiritual landscape, strongly affecting the way magic was practiced. Hector Salva's book places Puerto Rican Espiritismo in this broader perspective.

    The Original Peer Support Recovery & Coping Skills Workbook & Curriculum is a book by someone who believes in recovery with all his heart. That guy's name is Gregorio Lewis. 
    Sometimes, life happens and things change. This author walked his talk straight into the gutter-living a fairly desperate and upsetting, yet transformative life while homeless-until a mere 3 years and two months ago. Now, living a new life. Truly alive and well in the heart of Mexico. He's evidence that if you want to get better, do the work, experience the improvements. 
    This workbook and curriculum is for people like me: the poor, the unwanted, the blamed, the hurt, the labeled, the outcast, and the rejected. This workbook and curriculum is for people like you: the carers, the lovers, the educators, the agents-of change and the healers. Everything you read in this book was learned and earned the hard way. 
    Recovery is some of the hardest work possible. Do it, and keep doing it and maybe, just maybe, your dreams will also come true.
