  An incisive account of the crucial role money played in the formation and development of British North America. Promise to Pay follows America’s first paper money—the “bills of credit” of British North America—from its seventeenth-century origins as a means of war finance to its pivotal role in catalyzing the American Revolution. Katie A. Moore combs through treasury records, account books, and the bills themselves to tell a new story of money’s origins that challenges economic orthodoxy and mainstream histories. Promise to Pay shows how colonial governments imposed paper bills on settler communities through existing labor and kinship relations, their value secured by thousands of individual claims on the public purse—debts—and the state’s promise to take them back as payment for taxes owed. Born into a world of hierarchy and deference, early American money eroded old social ties and created new asymmetries of power, functioning simultaneously as a ticket to the world of goods, a lifeline for those on the margins, and a tool of imperial domination.Grounded in sustained engagement with scholarship from multiple disciplines, Promise to Pay breathes new life into old debates and offers an incisive account of the centrality of money in the politics and conflicts of empire, community, and everyday life.

  In Three Days in Moscow (2018), Bret Baier of Fox News and his co-writer Catherine Whitney tell a story of patriotism, courage, and ambition, about a man who went to the full extent for the sake of his nation, without ever compromising democracy. 
  This political biography focuses on President Ronald Reagan’s agenda during his final years in office, before the fall of the Soviet Union. It chronicles major stages that marked his two-term presidency, especially his visit to the USSR for the Moscow summit with Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev. Both leaders showed how long-term enemies could break through historical grievances for the common interest of their nations, as a new, post-Soviet era finally started to unfold. Reagan felt he only had three days to make his appeal and convince the Russian people of the importance of democracy; he had been awaiting this moment for the majority of his life.

  Traumatic experiences happen to nearly everyone, at some time, in some form. The aftereffects--depression, anxiety, addiction, panic attacks, insomnia, and more--can affect us for years or even a lifetime. But the brokenness following a traumatic event is never a life sentence. We are all changed by trauma, but we do not have to be defined by it. 
   
  Drawing on cutting-edge research, Triumph over Trauma empowers you to find relief and hope once and for all. Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution, this whole-person treatment approach recognizes you as a unique constellation of emotional, physical, intellectual, relational, and spiritual dimensions. This book explains how trauma affects your emotions, body, brain, relationships, soul, and dreams. Then it shows you how to create a personalized plan to find your way back to wholeness, joy, and peace.
