  Founded by James Oglethorpe on February 12, 1733, the Georgia colony was envisioned as a unique social welfare experiment. Administered by twenty-one original trustees, the Georgia Plan offered England's "worthy poor" and persecuted Christians an opportunity to achieve financial security in the New World by exporting goods produced on small farms. Most significantly, Oglethorpe and his fellow Trustees were convinced that economic vitality could not be achieved through the exploitation of enslaved Black laborers. 
   
   
   
  James Oglethorpe, Father of Georgia uncovers how Oglethorpe's philosophical and moral evolution from slave trader to abolitionist was propelled by his intellectual relationships with two formerly enslaved Black men. Oglethorpe's unique "friendships" with Ayuba Suleiman Diallo and Olaudah Equiano, two of eighteenth-century England's most influential Black men, are little-known examples of interracial antislavery activism that breathed life into the formal abolitionist movement. 
   
   
   
  Utilizing more than two decades of meticulous research, fresh historical analysis, and compelling storytelling, Michael L. Thurmond rewrites the prehistory of abolitionism and adds an important new chapter to Georgia's origin story.

  Dark Psychology: Exploring Manipulation, Persuasion, and Influence Tactics provides a deep dive into the often-hidden world of psychological manipulation. In our everyday lives, we encounter numerous forces attempting to shape our thoughts, decisions, and behaviors—sometimes without even realizing it. Whether it’s the subtle pressures of advertising, the persuasive tactics used in politics, or the manipulative behaviors in personal relationships, we are constantly influenced by those who seek to control or sway us. 
    
  At the core of dark psychology lies the study of these influence tactics. It is the exploration of how individuals or groups can manipulate others, often for their own gain, by exploiting the psychological vulnerabilities that we all possess. From the most subtle forms of persuasion to more overt methods of coercion, dark psychology encompasses the tools, strategies, and personalities behind these manipulative behaviors. 
    
  The term "dark psychology" refers to a set of techniques designed to influence or manipulate others, often for selfish or harmful purposes. These methods can be seen in many contexts—whether used by con artists, politicians, marketers, or individuals within personal relationships. Understanding dark psychology is not about becoming a manipulator; rather, it’s about equipping oneself with the knowledge to recognize when others are attempting to manipulate or persuade us in ways that may not be in our best interests. It’s about gaining awareness and taking control of how we are influenced by others.

  Once you've been admitted to college, the next step is to develop a strategy of how to find your best life there. But for decades, Professor James T. Hamilton has seen students struggle with their college journey. Some avoid challenging experiences, follow a path of familiar expectations, and rely on shortcuts. Others aim for perfection, ignore their friends and health, labor over what subjects to study, and neglect spending time outside the classroom. The pressure to make college valuable and interesting can feel overwhelming. 
   
   
   
  If only students could learn how others have navigated these challenges. You could ask alums to look back on friendships and college-to-career paths and provide advice. Now, you don't have to wish because You Got In! Now What? tackles the burning questions you have. 
   
   
   
  Hamilton designs lessons to help you find purpose, manage time, maintain friendships and family relationships, stay physically and mentally healthy, and choose classes, majors, and careers. Each lesson is accompanied by an essay based on research and reflections from students, alums, and professors to provide observations for how you can embrace the best that college has to offer. With these insights, you'll explore new ideas, meet people, have adventures, and most importantly, beyond just earning a degree, get an education.
