  • James Oglethorpe Father of Georgia - A Founder's Journey from Slave Trader to Abolitionist - cover

    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.

    After her beloved dad got addicted to right-wing talk radio and Fox News, Jen Senko feared he would never be the same again . . . 
     
     
     
    Frank Senko had always known how to have a good time. But after a job change forced Frank to begin a long car commute every day, his daughter Jen noticed changes in his personality and beliefs. Long hours on the road listening to talk radio commentators like Rush Limbaugh sucked her father into a suspicion-laden worldview dominated by conspiracy theories, fake news, and rants about the "coastal elite" and "libtards" trying to destroy America. 
     
     
     
    Over the course of a few years, Jen's dad went from a nonpolitical, open-minded Democrat to a radical, angry, and intolerant right-wing devotee who became a stranger to those closest to him. As politics began to take precedence over everything else in her father's life, Jen was mystified. What happened to her dad? Jen began the search for answers, and found them . . . as well as stories from countless other families like her own. 
     
     
     
    Based on the award-winning documentary, The Brainwashing of My Dad uncovers the alarming right-wing strategy to wield the media as a weapon against our very democracy.

    The universe is a vast, beautiful and strange place. We understand very little of it. Over the course of human history hundreds of bizarre phenomena have crossed our paths and most of them are still, to this day, mysteries to us. Everything from God to Bigfoot, from aliens to ghosts, remains relatively unexplained. We have travelled to other planets, invented artificial intelligence and managed to nearly destroy our own planet, and yet we continue to come across the weird and peculiar without any understanding of what it is we he have witnessed. In this audiobook we delve into some of the biggest mysteries and discover that there may be one underlying explanation for them all. One over-arching answer to all the unexplained, and the answer will blow your mind. 
     
    Prepare to go on a journey into the quantum world. Travel through alien worlds and into your own mind. We’re about to unlock the secrets of the universe.
