  The Underground Railroad in Ohio

  Ohio was at the heart of it all. 
   
   
   
  During a dark time in United States history, thousands of freedom seekers traveled the Underground Railroad through Ohio. The Buckeye State hosted about half of all fugitive slave traffic of the antebellum era. A mix of Northern and Southern settlers in the state added drama to a struggle that led to major benefits for the state and the country. Unfortunately, this epic past was obscured by silence and secrecy and then distorted with misinformation and folklore—until now. 
   
   
   
  Author and native Ohioan Kathy Schulz accurately details the development and workings of Ohio's Underground Railroad with true stories of Addison White, John Parker, and others.

  "Apology" is a philosophical dialogue written by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato. The dialogue is a dramatization of the trial of Socrates, in which he is accused of corrupting the youth of Athens and impiety. The dialogue is set in 399 BC and recounts Socrates' defense before the Athenian court. 
  The dialogue is divided into three parts: Socrates' defense, the verdict, and the sentencing. In his defense, Socrates argues that he has been falsely accused and that he has only sought to bring greater wisdom and understanding to his fellow Athenians. He also reflects on his own mortality and the nature of the human soul. 
  Throughout the dialogue, Plato uses Socrates as a mouthpiece for his own philosophical ideas, particularly his belief in the importance of reason and the pursuit of truth. Socrates is portrayed as a wise and virtuous figure who is committed to living a life of integrity and to teaching others to do the same. 
  The dialogue has been widely studied and debated over the centuries and is regarded as a foundational text of Western philosophy. It offers a powerful reflection on the nature of truth, justice, and virtue, as well as on the role of the individual in society. It remains a valuable and thought-provoking work of philosophy that continues to be read and studied today. 
  Overall, "Apology" is a timeless and influential work of philosophy that offers a fascinating glimpse into the mind of one of history's greatest thinkers. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of philosophy, the nature of truth and justice, or the legacy of ancient Greece.

  The Habsburg Empire - Central...

  The Habsburg Dynasty, one of the most influential and enduring families in European history, laid the foundation for an empire that would dominate much of Central Europe for over six centuries. The family’s rise to power was not a result of military conquest or economic dominance, but rather strategic marriages, political alliances, and a series of calculated moves that allowed them to amass territories and influence across Europe. At the heart of the Habsburg's success was their ability to use dynastic marriages to expand their reach, securing land, titles, and influence through the marriages of their children to powerful European houses. 
  The origins of the Habsburgs can be traced to the 11th century, with the rise of the family’s first significant member, Radbot, a nobleman from what is now Switzerland. However, it was not until the 13th century that the Habsburgs began their ascent to prominence under the leadership of Rudolf I. In 1273, Rudolf was elected King of Germany, marking the beginning of the Habsburgs' long reign in Central Europe. This election not only established their position within the Holy Roman Empire but also set the stage for their future expansion. 
  The key to their continued rise lay in the Habsburgs’ unparalleled ability to form advantageous marriages. Rather than relying on military might, the family expanded its territorial holdings through strategic unions with other royal and noble families. One of the most significant of these marriages was that of Maximilian I in 1477 to Mary of Burgundy, which brought the Habsburgs the rich territories of the Burgundian Netherlands. This marriage effectively linked the Habsburgs with the wealth and influence of the Low Countries, establishing them as key players in European politics.

  Coming from a working-class background, Paul Besley knew the worst and best of life in a Yorkshire steel town. He had always been drawn to the solitude of the hills, but that life nearly ended when a fall while hillwalking left him critically injured and alone in the mountains of the Lake District. Paul was found and brought to safety by a mountain rescue team. This was the trigger for him to transform his life, first by joining his local team, then by finding Scout, his very own Border collie puppy, and training him to become a mountain rescue search dog.
  In The Search, Paul writes with humour and honesty as we follow him and Scout through their complex training, with searches and rescue incidents sometimes tragic and often funny. Paul's demons and headstrong characters threaten to derail them, until his past finally catches up with him and his life inescapably unravels. It's up to Scout to keep an eye on him now as Paul tries to build the best life he can.
