  A Lady's Visit to the Gold...

  ***The 1853 Controversial Bestseller*** 
  In 1852 a genteel young English woman of modest means cannily realised that not everyone who made money from the Australian gold-fields struck it rich by actually digging. Pregnant and not yet married, she accompanied her brother to Victoria and spent two months writing a non-fiction manuscript of her time there. After returning to England, she sold the book to a London publisher and her writerly ambitions came to fruition. 
  She wrote anonymously. But since the 1980s, researchers have become increasingly sure the author was Ellen Clacy, maiden name Sturmer. 
  While some researchers have accused Clacy of plagiarism and fabrication, others have pointed out the limitations of historical documentation. 
  The gold-rush era is so foreign to us today, that even the bald facts sometimes read like sensationalised fiction. In other ways, the 21st century is not so different from the 19th.  
  This audiobook has been edited for listening ease. A new introduction by Amberley Ember underscores the major crime of this story: the invisibilization of First Nations people, with the theft and the destruction of their land.

  Composition as Conversation -...

  Teaching writing is not for the faint of heart, but it can be a tremendous gift to teachers and students.  Students often approach writing courses with trepidation because they think of writing as a mystical and opaque process. Teachers often approach these same courses with dread because of the enormous workload and the often-unpolished skills of new writers. This approachable composition textbook for beginning writers contends that writing can be a better experience for everyone when taught as an empathetic and respectful conversation. In a time in which discourse is not always civil and language is not always tended carefully, a conversation-based writing approach emphasizes intention and care. 
   
  Written by a teacher with more than fifteen years of experience in the college writing classroom, Composition as Conversation explores what happens when the art of conversation meets the art of writing. Heather Hoover shows how seven virtues--including curiosity, attentiveness, relatability, open-mindedness, and generosity--inform the writing process and can help students become more effective writers. She invites writers of all skill levels to make meaningful contributions with their writing. 
   
  This short, accessible, and instructive book offers a reflective method for college-level writing and will also work well in classical school, high school, and homeschool contexts. It demystifies the writing process and helps students understand why their writing matters. It will energize teachers of writing as they encourage their students to become careful readers and observers, intentional listeners, and empathetic arguers. The book also provides helpful sample assignments.

  Unruly Desires - American...

  William Benemann

  In its voracious hunger to fill its decks and spars with the bodies of strong young sailors, the nineteenth century US Navy and the commercial maritime industry welcomed eccentrics, criminals, outcasts, and misfits into a community of the marginalized, one that held very different values and expectations than the towns and villages from which the young men fled, a community that offered a tentative refuge to men who were sexually attracted to other men. 
   
   
   
  Drawing from biographies and autobiographies, diaries, newspapers, government reports, Congressional hearings, religious tracts, pornography, ships' logs, medical treatises, maritime fiction, court-martial reports, personal letters and business correspondence, Benemann provides an in-depth examination of nineteenth century LGBTQ culture as it developed at sea and in America's port cities.

  Quit Masturbation Hypnosis -...

  You have probably never said it out loud to another human being. 
  Not to a friend. Not to a partner. Not even fully to yourself. 
  It is the kind of struggle most men carry alone. The kind that hides itself well. It does not destroy your life in dramatic ways. It does not show up on your bank statements. It does not leave evidence that anyone else can see. 
  What it does is quieter. It drains you. A little, every day. For years. 
  It steals your edge. Your drive. Your focus. Your sense that you are a man who is moving forward in life rather than running in circles. 
  And the strangest part is that you cannot fully explain to yourself why you keep doing it. 
  If any of that lands for you, hear me clearly. 
  You are not strange. You are not broken. You are not the only one. 
  This is one of the most universal struggles a man can have, and one of the most rarely discussed. Willpower has not worked because willpower works on the conscious mind. The pattern lives deeper. The hand moves before your thinking mind has even had a chance to participate. 
  That is not a moral failing. That is years of repetition written into your nervous system. And it can be rewired through the same channel that programmed it in the first place. 
  This program is the path back. 
  For the next four hours, you will not be lectured. You will not be shamed. You will be guided gently into the deeply relaxed state where your subconscious opens. And in that state, carefully crafted affirmations will begin to do quiet work beneath your awareness. 
  The energy you have been spending will start to return to you. Your focus will sharpen. Your drive will rise. The pull will grow quieter, day by day, until one morning you will realize it is no longer there in the way it used to be. 
  You will reclaim hours you did not know you were losing. 
  The man you are becoming is who you always were, underneath the years of pattern. He has been waiting. 
  Press play. Take a breath. Welcome home.
