  Of all relationships, the connection between humanity and nature is most sacred. 
  For more than 2,500 years, humans have strayed from nature, challenging humanity with immeasurable consequences.

Blending the rigor of science with the wisdom of Daoism—an ancient philosophy rooted in nature—Dr. Chan reveals a path toward integration. Packed with insightful reflections and practical techniques, 7 Principles of Nature is a must-read for reclaiming connection and empowering mental health.

  Symbols of Freedom - Slavery and...

  Matthew J. Clavin

  In the early United States, anthems, flags, holidays, monuments, and memorials were powerful symbols of an American identity that helped unify a divided people. A language of freedom played a similar role in shaping the new nation. Resonating across the country, they encouraged the creation of a republic where the right to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" was universal. 
   
   
   
  For enslaved people and their allies, the language and symbols that served as national touchstones made a mockery of freedom. Yet, as author Matthew J. Clavin reveals, it was these powerful expressions of American nationalism that inspired forceful and even violent resistance to slavery. 
   
   
   
  Symbols of Freedom is the surprising story of how enslaved people and their allies drew inspiration from the language and symbols of American freedom. Mindful and proud that theirs was a nation born in blood, these disparate patriots fought to fulfill the republic's promise by waging war against slavery. 
   
   
   
  In a time when the US flag, the Fourth of July, and historical sites have never been more contested, this book reminds us that symbols are living artifacts whose power is derived from the meaning with which we imbue them.

  But the intel stinks. The contact’s hiding something, the money’s too clean, and every street in San Juan hums with danger. What begins as a textbook rescue spirals into a nightmare of betrayal, ambushes, and firefights stretching from the Old Fort Castillo San Cristóbal to the jungles of Saint Ann.

  • Gritty realism and black humour straight from the veteran’s battlefield mindset 
  • Caribbean gunfights, urban chases, and a high-risk extraction deep in cartel territory 
  • Authentic military banter and tactics forged in combat 
  • PTSD, loyalty, and redemption colliding in the heat of the mission 
   
  Perfect for fans of: Tom Clancy, Andy McNab, Lee Child, and Mark Greaney—readers who crave covert ops with bite, not polish. 
   
  The mission: rescue the innocent, punish the guilty, and survive the extraction. 
  Grab Covert Ops: The Extraction and lock in for the most explosive mission yet.
