  From Empire to Revolution is the first biography devoted to an in-depth examination of the life and conflicted career of Sir James Wright (1716–1785). Greg Brooking uses Wright's life as a means to better understand the complex struggle for power in both colonial Georgia and the larger British Empire. 
   
   
   
  James Wright lived a transatlantic life, taking advantage of every imperial opportunity afforded him. He earned numerous important government posts and amassed an incredible fortune. An England-born grandson of Sir Robert Wright, James Wright was raised in Charleston, South Carolina, following his father's appointment as the chief justice of that colony. Young James served South Carolina in a number of capacities, public and ecclesiastical, prior to his admittance to London's famed Gray's Inn to study law. Most notably, he was appointed South Carolina's attorney general and colonial agent to London prior to becoming the governor of Georgia in 1761. 
   
   
   
  Wright's long imperial career delicately balanced dual loyalties to Crown and colony and offers a new perspective on loyalism and the American Revolution. Through this lens, Greg Brooking connects several important contexts in recent early American and British scholarship, including imperial and Atlantic history, Indigenous borderlands, race and slavery, and popular politics.

  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.

  Nazis on the Potomac - The...

  Now a green open space enjoyed by residents, Fort Hunt, Virginia, about fifteen miles south of Washington, DC, was the site of one of the highest-level, clandestine operations during World War II. 
   
   
   
  Shortly after the United States entered World War II, the US military realized that it had to work on exploiting any advantages it might gain on the Axis Powers. One part of these endeavors was to establish a secret facility not too close, but also not too far from the Pentagon which would interrogate and eavesdrop on the highest-level Nazi prisoners and also translate and analyze captured German war documents. 
   
   
   
  That complex was established at Fort Hunt, known by the code name: PO Box 1142. The American servicemen who interrogated German prisoners or translated captured German documents were young, bright, hardworking, and absolutely dedicated to their work. Many of them were Jews, who had escaped Nazi Germany as children—some had come to America with their parents, others had escaped alone, but their experiences and those they had been forced to leave behind meant they all had personal motivation to do whatever they could to defeat Nazi Germany. They were perfect for the difficult and complex job at hand.
