It sums up in a succinct way the Buddhist attitude to the problems of individual and social ethics, of egoism and altruism. The gist of it is contained in those two concise sentences:
   
  “Protecting oneself, one protects others” (Attānaṃ rakkhanto paraṃ rakkhati), and

  Untangle the complex conspiracy that led to the tragic deaths of Charlotte Kay Elliott and Kevin Edwin Frase on the banks of the Rio Grande. On the night of July 13, 1980, a hitman fired a high-powered rifle into the crowd at Pepe's On the River, an outdoor bar in Mission, Texas. He missed his target, a witness in the Loop 360 drug case, but killed two young bystanders. While state court prosecutions for capital murder inexplicably faltered, a federal court gave the assassin a life sentence for attempted murder of a grand jury witness. A member of the judge's staff who was present throughout the trial, author John W. Primomo revisits the dramatic twists and turns surrounding this murder on the Rio Grande.

  It is a book about choosing yourself without collapsing your life. 
  By Dr. Montoya S Ozier, this work is for the woman who knows something is ending-even if nothing has officially ended. She is emotionally awake, financially aware, and deeply responsible. She is not seeking drama or escape. She is seeking clarity, steadiness, and a dignified way forward.

  It is about leaving self-abandonment.

  This book does not rush the reader or force action. 
  It sits beside her while she becomes coherent again. 
  For women ready to choose themselves with care, wisdom, and strength, The Quiet Exit is not just a book.

  Enslaved Native Americans and...

  A compelling study into the history and lasting influence of enslaved Native people in early South Carolina. 
   
   
   
  In 1708, the governor of South Carolina responded to a request from London to describe the population of the colony. This response included an often-overlooked segment of the population: Native Americans, who made up one-fourth of all enslaved people in the colony. Yet it was not long before these descriptions of enslaved Native people all but disappeared from the archive. 
   
   
   
  In Enslaved Native Americans and the Making of Colonial South Carolina, D. Andrew Johnson argues that Native people were crucial to the development of South Carolina's economy and culture. By meticulously scouring documentary sources and creating a database of over 15,000 mentions of enslaved people, Johnson uses a uniquely interdisciplinary approach to reconsider the history of South Carolina and center the enslaved Native people who were forced to live and work on its plantations. Johnson also employs spatial analysis and examines archaeological evidence to study Native slavery in a plantation context.
