  A Southern Underground Railroad...

  Despite its apparent isolation, the Southeast provided a vital connecting link between the Black self-emancipation that occurred during the American Revolution and the growth of the Underground Railroad. From the beginning of the revolutionary war to the eve of the First Seminole War in 1817, several thousand Africans and African Americans in Georgia and South Carolina crossed the borders and boundaries that separated the Lowcountry from the British and Spanish in coastal Florida and from the Seminole and Creek people in the vast interior of the Southeast. Even in times of peace, there remained a steady flow of individuals moving south and southwest. 
   
   
   
  A Southern Underground Railroad constitutes a powerful counter-narrative in American history, a tale of how enslaved men and women found freedom and human dignity not in Jefferson's "Empire of Liberty" but outside the expanding boundaries of the United States. It is a reminder of the strength of Black resistance in the post-revolutionary South and the ability of this community to influence the balance of power in a contested region. Pressly's research shows that their movement across borders was an integral part of the struggle for dominance in the Southeast not only among the Great Powers but also among the many different racial, ethnic, and religious groups that inhabited the region and contended for control.

  Whether you call them franks, wieners, or red hots, hot dogs are as American as apple pie, but how did these little links become icons of American culture? Man Bites Dog explores the transformation of hot dogs from unassuming street fare to paradigms of regional expression, social mobility, and democracy. World-renowned hot dog scholar Bruce Kraig investigates the history, people, décor, and venues that make up hot dog culture and what it says about our country.  These humble sausages cross ethnic and regional boundaries and have provided the means for plucky entrepreneurs to pull themselves up by their bootstraps. Hot dogs, and the ways we enjoy them, are part of the American dream. Man Bites Dog celebrates the power of the hot dog through a historical survey and profiles of notable hot dog purveyors. Loaded with stunning color photos by Patty Carroll, descriptions of neighborhood venues and flashy pushcarts from New York to Los Angeles, and recipes for cooking up hot dog heaven at home, this book is the u

  The Sacred Way

  The Sacred Way is not a map. It is not a method. It is a transmission. 
    
  In this companion to The Sacred Choice, Stephen L. Robertson offers a luminous reflection for the soul ready to embody what it has already remembered. Drawing from mystical insight, spiritual awakening, and the quiet wisdom of stillness, The Sacred Way invites readers beyond the threshold of realization—into a life of integration, gentleness, and divine simplicity. 
    
  This masterwork does not teach—it mirrors. Through poetic clarity and sacred resonance, it unveils the quiet radiance of what happens after the spark: when ego dissolves, when becoming ends, and when the flame no longer flickers but simply burns. 
    
  You are not searching anymore. 
  You are becoming the field. 
    
  This is not the beginning of your journey. 
  This is the return.

  What if your brain wasn’t the enemy... but the tool you’ve never learned how to use properly? 
  You wake up with that familiar tension in your chest. Your thoughts race before your feet even touch the floor. You overthink, avoid, procrastinate, repeat. You’ve tried to “calm down,” but your brain seems wired for panic. 
  Here’s the truth: 
  Anxiety doesn’t mean you’re broken. It means your brain’s trying to protect you — just in the wrong way. And once you understand how that wiring works, you can start changing it. You can interrupt the panic patterns, replace the fear loops, and actually feel good again. 
  This audiobook gives you a toolkit for that shift — from overthinking to clarity, from mental exhaustion to resilience. 
  Here’s what you’ll take away: 
  •	Why your anxiety isn’t just “in your head” — and what’s really triggering it 
  •	The link between low moods, low energy, and how your brain processes stress 
  •	What your brain needs to feel safe — and why it’s not getting it 
  •	The exact moment negative thoughts take over (and how to stop them mid-loop) 
  •	Easy-to-follow brain rewiring techniques you can use anywhere 
  •	A simple way to build habits that don’t fall apart after a week 
  •	How to talk to yourself without sounding fake or cringey 
  •	Everyday rituals that quietly boost your mood and focus 
  •	What mindfulness really is (no incense required) and why it works 
  •	How to bounce back fast when old triggers sneak back inIf you’re tired of thinking your way in circles, this is your way out. Start rewiring. Start thinking clearly again. And start feeling like yourself — for real this time.
