  Bay of Pigs Invasion - A History...

  Hourly History

  In the 1950s, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) secretly planned, supported, and funded two coups: one in Guatemala and one in Iran. This was the height of the Cold War, and both deposed governments were suspected of leaning to the left and favoring closer ties with the Soviet Union, while the regimes that replaced them were more inclined to look favorably on the United States. Whatever the moral implications of such interventions (and the US government strenuously denied involvement in either), many Americans saw the outcomes as positive developments that helped to slow the worldwide spread of communism. 
  Then, in January 1959, a new leader took control of the island of Cuba, which is less than 100 miles (160 kilometers) from the US mainland. At first, it seemed that Fidel Castro might be friendly toward the US, but during 1959 and 1960, tensions increased, and Cuba seemed to be moving closer to the Soviet Union. Many Americans came to believe that peace could only be assured in Latin America by the removal of Castro from power and his replacement with a more friendly regime. The CIA developed a bold and secret plan for an invasion of Cuba by a group of anti-Castro rebels who would land in a remote area known as the Bay of Pigs. This is the story of the ill-fated, poorly planned, and ultimately disastrous Bay of Pigs invasion.

  Doomscrolling & the Divine -...

  A former Big Tech product designer, one of the architects of the digital world that now holds us captive, reveals the spiritual consequences of our scrolling habits. He knows how the sausage is made because he spent years in the factory. In this unflinching exposé and guide, he pulls back the curtain on the sophisticated mechanisms of the attention economy, which were meticulously engineered to exploit our deepest psychological needs and keep us hooked. This book is an insider's confession and a path to liberation for anyone who feels their soul is being eroded by the endless feed.
  This is not another guide to managing your screen time or a simple digital detox plan. It's a profound exploration of what your phone is doing to the deepest part of you—the part that connects with others, finds meaning, and encounters the sacred. The author introduces the concept of the 'Scroll Wound,' the cumulative spiritual damage from chronic digital compulsion, arguing that our struggle isn't a personal failure of willpower but the result of being outmatched by a system designed for addiction. This book validates the feeling that something more than just time is being stolen from us.
  Moving beyond critique, "Doomscrolling & the Divine" offers a new language and a tangible path toward healing. Drawing from ancient contemplative traditions and his own transformative journey through a Benedictine monastery, the author provides a framework for a new kind of spiritual practice. Learn how to build an 'attention altar' in your own life, engage in practices that lead to deep rest, and reclaim your focus from the algorithms of Big Tech. It's a guide to rediscovering the divine in a world of digital distraction and finding a more human way to live with technology.
  If you've ever felt the phantom buzz of a nonexistent notification, fallen into the pit of the comparison spiral, or looked up from your screen to realize hours have vanished, this book is your lifeline. It is for anyone who suspects their relationship with technology is costing them their peace, their presence, and their soul. Begin the journey of reclaiming your attention, reconnecting with the people you love, and learning to see the sky without a camera again.

  Gully Dirt - On Exposing the...

  Robert Coram

  No part of America scars its children as does the south. 
   
   
   
  In this incandescent memoir, Robert Coram tells how a rough-edged boy escaped from a nowhere little town in rural southwest Georgia and became an accomplished writer. 
   
   
   
  With a flawless ear and an unblinking eye, Coram escorts us across a unique landscape, capturing the nuances of life in a small southern town during the 1950s, not by writing of the romantic south, but rather of a south that can be narrow and harsh and brutal. He takes on the big issues: race, religion, love, death, and family values. His coming-of-age story is troubling, sometimes embarrassing, but always hilarious. 
   
   
   
  As a native son, Coram captures in pitch-perfect tone the voice of a teenage boy, a new voice from the old south. 
   
   
   
  Coram holds nothing back. No part of his early life is too embarrassing or too personal, including losing his virginity in a church and public beatings by his father. Though centered on Coram's long-suffering mother, his brutal father, and his dog that lived in hope, the main feature of his story may be the humor. Rarely does a writer draw so much humor from such a harsh childhood. His story will linger in your heart.
