  African American Slave Medicine offers a critical examination of how African American slaves' medical needs were addressed during the years before and surrounding the Civil War. Drawing upon ex-slave interviews conducted during the 1930s and 1940s by the Works Project Administration (WPA), Dr. Herbert C. Covey inventories many of the herbal, plant, and non-plant remedies used by African American folk practitioners during slavery. He demonstrates how active the slaves were in their own medical care and the important role faith played in the healing process. This book links each referenced plant or herb to modern scientific evidence to determine its actual worth and effects on the patients. Through his study, Dr. Covey unravels many of the complex social relationships found between the African American slaves, Whites, folk practitioners, and patients. African American Slave Medicine is compelling and captivating listening that will appeal to scholars of African American history and those interested in folk medicine.

  ", The World as Will and Idea" is a major work in Western philosophy, first published in 1818, in which Schopenhauer presents his unique philosophy of the world as being fundamentally driven by an irrational, insatiable will that underlies all phenomena. He argues that this will is the source of all human suffering and that the only way to attain true happiness and liberation from this suffering is to transcend one's individual will and identify with the universal will that animates all things. 
  Schopenhauer's ideas have been influential in many areas of philosophy and intellectual history, particularly in the fields of existentialism and psychology. "The World as Will and Idea" is considered a classic of Western philosophy and is widely studied and debated by scholars and students of philosophy.

  Gully Dirt - On Exposing the...

  No part of America scars its children as does the south. 
   
   
   
  In this incandescent memoir, Robert Coram tells how a rough-edged boy escaped from a nowhere little town in rural southwest Georgia and became an accomplished writer. 
   
   
   
  With a flawless ear and an unblinking eye, Coram escorts us across a unique landscape, capturing the nuances of life in a small southern town during the 1950s, not by writing of the romantic south, but rather of a south that can be narrow and harsh and brutal. He takes on the big issues: race, religion, love, death, and family values. His coming-of-age story is troubling, sometimes embarrassing, but always hilarious. 
   
   
   
  As a native son, Coram captures in pitch-perfect tone the voice of a teenage boy, a new voice from the old south. 
   
   
   
  Coram holds nothing back. No part of his early life is too embarrassing or too personal, including losing his virginity in a church and public beatings by his father. Though centered on Coram's long-suffering mother, his brutal father, and his dog that lived in hope, the main feature of his story may be the humor. Rarely does a writer draw so much humor from such a harsh childhood. His story will linger in your heart.
