  In 1845, seventeen-year-old Amad Adebayo lives a peaceful life in a small West African village, unaware that fate is about to wrench him from everything he knows. Captured and sold into slavery, Amad Adebayo is torn from his homeland and brought to a plantation near St. Augustine, Florida, where he endures the brutal realities of servitude. But the spirit of freedom burns fiercely within him. Defying the odds, Amad escapes the bands of slavery and sets his sights on a bolder dream—freeing those held in bondage and ending the very system that tried to break him. With honour, courage, and the will to fight back, he commandeers a ship and leads a rebel crew on a ruthless mission to destroy the slave trade. Together, they embrace the treacherous life of piracy—not for gold, but for justice. Sailing the perilous Caribbean and Gulf waters, Amad Adebayo becomes a legend of the seas, striking fear into slavers and hope into the hearts of the oppressed. But freedom is never easily won, and Amad Adebayo must face betrayals, battles, and the ghosts of his past as he charts a dangerous course towards liberation. As he confronts the complexities of freedom and justice, he grapples with his own identity and the moral ambiguities of his quest. Amad's Adebayo story is a testament to the enduring human spirit and the timeless struggle for liberation. The Wages of Freedom is a sweeping epic adventure of resilience, rebellion, and the unbreakable quest for freedom.

  Books and Culture (1896) is a collection of reflective essays by American critic and editor Hamilton Wright Mabie, exploring why great literature endures and how reading shapes the inner life of the reader. Rather than treating books as sources of information, Mabie presents them as companions for personal growth — instruments of imagination, memory, and self-understanding. Drawing on Shakespeare, Homer, Dante, and other classic writers, he examines themes such as the imagination, personality, freedom from the limits of one's own time and place, and the particular power of tragedy and fiction to deepen human sympathy. Written in the elegant, meditative style typical of late-Victorian literary criticism, this collection remains a thoughtful guide for anyone who wants to read more deeply and purposefully, and a window into how one of the most influential American men of letters of his era thought about the value of a life spent among books.

  A powerful, timely, and inspiring guide for embracing your most authentic self at work—and why it matters—from the first-ever Chief Heart Officer at VaynerX. 
  Featuring a foreword by Gary Vaynerchuk 
  In a world obsessed with perfection—and workplaces wired for efficiency over humanity—Claude Silver offers a new language for the beautiful mess of being human at work: showing up as your true self. 
  No matter our role, seniority, or generation, we all want the same things: to feel valued, trusted, respected, and like we belong. When we stop performing and start being, we unlock our capacity to connect, thrive, and do our best work. Not only is this shift liberating—it’s the antidote to burnout, an end to the myth of “fitting in,” and a proven path to building bold, human-first teams.  
  Through her experience as the Chief Heart Officer at VaynerX, Silver offers a compelling vision for how authenticity and connection transform leadership, ignite innovation, and elevate workplace culture. Silver draws on research and thousands of hours of direct experience—listening, coaching, testing, team building, and speaking—and introduces a new framework based on three pillars: 
  Emotional Optimism – leading with hope and possibilityEmotional Bravery – having the hard conversations with heartEmotional Efficiency – driving clarity through compassion and focusBe Yourself at Work provides actionable insights, relatable stories, and a practical roadmap to navigate a workplace where the old models are failing. In an era where technology evolves faster than we can imagine, humanity is our greatest asset. Authentic presence is the currency of the future—a game-changer for individuals and organizations alike. 
  Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

  Including interviews with Black women holding political office at the national, state, and local levels, as well as focus group data, The Radical Imagination of Black Women challenges political science's current approach to political ambition by exploring how Black women decide to seek political office. Pearl K. Ford Dowe argues that ambition for Black women cannot be measured only by political candidacies and ascents of the political chain of power. Black women are uniquely positioned within their communities to influence politics and public policy, which stems from unique variables of socialization, gender and racial identity, and marginalization that shape the political attitudes of Black women. Thus, Dowe asserts that Black women's political ambition often manifests outside formal politics, in activism and community building, a process that is linked to a wider radical vision for a full democracy. This is ambition that occurs in a specific context of marginalization, and both motivation and the conditions surrounding such motivation are critical to understanding the full range of Black women's political work. By focusing on Black women's experiences in elite politics, The Radical Imagination of Black Women is a much-needed intervention in the literature on electoral ambition, women in politics, and candidates and elections.
