  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.

  Psychology of Peoples - Its...

  After receiving a doctorate in medicine, Le Bon travelled in Europe, North Africa, and Asia and wrote several books on anthropology and archaeology. His interests later shifted to natural science and social psychology. Gustave Le Bon is best known for his seminal work „Crowd Psychology“ where he describes the psychological effects in various group settings. In „Psychology of Peoples“ written in 1894 he utilizes his anthropological knowledge and cross-references it with social psychology. He developed a view that history is the product of racial or national character, with emotion, not intelligence, being the dominant force in social evolution. He attributed true progress to the work of an intellectual elite. As a product of its time and conditions, the content of this book is partly highly controversial and should be seen as an intellectual challenge. Some arguments should be outright rejected, cause they haven’t stood the test of time. To his credit, already back in 1894 Le Bon foresaw the dangers of the application of socialism, well before the Russian Revolution and Mao’s takeover of China.

  Chained to the Desk: Workaholism and the Psychology of Behavioral Addiction 
  In an age that glorifies hustle culture and celebrates busyness as a badge of honor, Chained to the Desk dares to ask a difficult question: When does dedication to work cross the line into addiction? 
  This groundbreaking book delves deep into the often-overlooked world of workaholism, a form of behavioral addiction that can be just as destructive as substance abuse yet often goes unnoticed, even rewarded. Beginning with a clear-eyed overview of what addiction truly is, the author builds a compelling case for understanding workaholism not simply as ambition or drive but as a psychological compulsion rooted in deeper emotional and personality patterns. 
  Through an engaging, accessible, and research-informed journey, readers will uncover: 
  •	The evolving landscape of modern addictions, including digital, performance-based, and socially reinforced behaviors 
  •	Why work is a necessary but potentially dangerous force in our lives 
  •	The behavioral signs and symptoms of workaholism—what to look for in yourself or others 
  •	How certain personality types are more vulnerable to this hidden addiction 
  •	The emotional, physical, and relational toll that chronic overwork can exact 
  With clarity and compassion, the author explains the psychology behind work addiction and offers insight into how to break free from its grip without abandoning your goals or success.

  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.

  The Communist Manifesto

  Karl Marx

  "Workers of the world, unite! You have nothing to lose but your chains".
  The Communist Manifesto lays out the principles of Marxism, analysing the historical development of class struggles and the dynamics of capitalism. Marx and Engels argue that all history is the history of class conflict, and that capitalism, like previous systems, contains the seeds of its own destruction. Written in 1848, The Communist Manifesto remains one of the most influential political documents ever written, presenting a laser-sharp critique of inequality and presenting a vision for a radically different, classless society where "the free development of each is the condition for the free development of all."
  
  But the Manifesto is most valuable as an historical document, one that led to the greatest political upheavals of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and to the establishment of the Communist governments that until recently ruled half the globe.
  Karl Marx (1818–1883) was a German philosopher, historian, sociologist, economist, and revolutionary socialist best known for co-authoring The Communist Manifesto and writing Das Kapital. Due to his political writings, he was forced to live in exile in London, where he continued to develop his thought in collaboration with German thinker Friedrich Engels and publish his writings. His ideas have had enormous influence on political and philosophical thought, laid the foundation for modern communism and have influenced political movements worldwide.
  Friedrich Engels (1820–1895) was a German philosopher, social scientist, and political theorist best known for his collaboration with Karl Marx. Born in Barmen, Prussia (now Wuppertal, Germany), Engels came from a wealthy textile manufacturing family. His early experiences in the family business exposed him to the harsh realities of industrial capitalism, which shaped his views on class struggle and social justice. Engels was a strong advocate for workers' rights and played a key role in the development of Marxist thought. He died in 1895 in London, leaving a lasting legacy in political theory.
