Summary

In Prentice Mulford's novel, 'The Swamp Angel,' readers are taken on a journey through the murky waters of a deep, mystical swamp where supernatural forces collide with human desires. Mulford's writing style is vivid and descriptive, creating a sense of eerie beauty within the swamp's dark depths. The novel's gothic elements and themes of greed and redemption place it within the context of 19th-century American literature, where supernatural tales were popularized. Mulford's exploration of the conflict between good and evil adds a philosophical depth to the story, making it a compelling read for fans of dark fantasy. Prentice Mulford, a prominent New Thought writer and a contemporary of Mark Twain, was known for his spiritual and metaphysical teachings. 'The Swamp Angel' reflects Mulford's interest in exploring the unseen world and the power of the human mind. His unique perspective on the supernatural and the human experience influenced his literary works, making him an intriguing figure in American literature. I highly recommend 'The Swamp Angel' to readers who enjoy gothic fiction with a philosophical twist. Mulford's blend of supernatural elements and moral dilemmas creates a captivating narrative that will leave a lasting impression on those who venture into the swamp with his characters.

    Once children hit adolescence, it seems as if overnight “I love you” becomes “leave me alone,” and any question from a parent can be dismissed with one word: “fine.” But while they may not show it, teens benefit from their parents’ curiosity, delight, and connection. In The Teen Interpreter, psychologist Terri Apter looks inside teens’ minds—minds that are experiencing powerful new emotions and awareness of the world around them—to show how parents can revitalize their relationship. She illuminates the rapid neurological developments of a teen’s brain, explains the power of teenage friendships, and explores the positives and pitfalls of social media. With perceptive conversation exercises that synthesize research from more than thirty years in the field, Apter illustrates how teens signal their changing needs and identities—and how parents can interpret these signals and see the world through their teen’s eyes. The Teen Interpreter is a generous roadmap for enjoying the most challenging, and rewarding, parenting years.

    The Enneagram for Black...

    The Enneagram is an ancient system of human development that shows us the limiting stories that keep us stuck in unhelpful patterns, and invites us into more expansive stories. For too long, conversations about the Enneagram and its personality types have been centered on and by whiteness. In The Enneagram for Black Liberation, certified Enneagram teacher and trained psychotherapist Chichi Agorom reclaims the Enneagram as a powerful tool for Black women to rediscover our wholeness and worth that existed long before systems of supremacy told us we weren't enough. 
 
 
 
For Black women, our Enneagram personality types reflect more than just our way of being in the world; they are shaped by armor that we use to protect ourselves from pain, suffering, and shame. Breaking down each Enneagram type as a form of armor, this book offers practices to help Black women begin to build a sense of self separate from our mechanisms of self-protection, while working to dismantle the systems that require us to stay constantly armored up. Chichi Agorom takes listeners through each of the nine Enneagram types, along with stories of Black women who identify with them. In the process, Agorom seeks to inspire us to expand beyond our type patterns. 
 
 
 
Agorom invites each of us to claim the Enneagram as our tool in the continued fight for liberation.

From animal networks in Australia and Asia to Africa, Europe, and the Americas, The Well-Connected Animal is an eye-opening exposé of wild friends, enemies, and everything in between.
