    “A landmark in the political history of journalism.”—Michael Kazin, author of What It Took to Win: A History of the Democratic Party 
     
     
     
    As World War II approached, the six most powerful media moguls in America and Britain tried to pressure their countries to ignore the fascist threat. The media empires of Robert McCormick, Joseph and Eleanor Patterson, and William Randolph Hearst spanned the United States, reaching tens of millions of Americans in print and over the airwaves with their isolationist views. Meanwhile in England, Lord Rothermere’s Daily Mail extolled Hitler’s leadership and Lord Beaverbrook’s Daily Express insisted that Britain had no interest in defending Hitler’s victims on the continent. 
     
     
     
    Kathryn S. Olmsted shows how these media titans worked in concert—including sharing editorial pieces and coordinating their responses to events—to influence public opinion in a right-wing populist direction, how they echoed fascist and anti‑Semitic propaganda, and how they weakened and delayed both Britain’s and America’s response to Nazi aggression.

    "With stoic calm": That's how people describe individuals who seemingly can't be thrown off balance by anything—and perhaps you wish that for yourself more often, too? In that case, you should take a closer look at the actual Stoa, and this book will show you how easily Stoicism can be integrated into your everyday life!Reacting to events without emotion and not letting joyful occasions, annoyances, or strokes of fate affect you: this Stoa stereotype seems impossible and hardly desirable—but wouldn't a bit more control over your inner life be nice? Then a modern Stoicism approach is your royal road, because the fundamental idea of its founder Zeno is more relevant today than ever: leading a good life in which your internal and external worlds are in harmonious alignment. To achieve this, one must become master of their emotions and passions—and fortunately, with a little patience, it's quite simple to learn. In this book, you will first familiarize yourself with the theoretical foundations of Stoicism before discovering how to put them into practice. By working through a variety of exercises, tasks, and challenges, you will apply what you've learned and gradually develop the Stoa mindset. Prior knowledge or experience? Not required! Thanks to straightforward explanations and immediately applicable techniques, even newcomers can start effortlessly and achieve impressive results in no time.

    Ohio was at the heart of it all. 
     
     
     
    During a dark time in United States history, thousands of freedom seekers traveled the Underground Railroad through Ohio. The Buckeye State hosted about half of all fugitive slave traffic of the antebellum era. A mix of Northern and Southern settlers in the state added drama to a struggle that led to major benefits for the state and the country. Unfortunately, this epic past was obscured by silence and secrecy and then distorted with misinformation and folklore—until now. 
     
     
     
    Author and native Ohioan Kathy Schulz accurately details the development and workings of Ohio's Underground Railroad with true stories of Addison White, John Parker, and others.
