  In Tending the Heart of Virtue, Vigen Guroian illuminates the power of classic tales and their impact on the moral imagination. He demonstrates how these stories teach the virtues through vivid depictions of the struggle between good and evil, while he also unveils components of the good, the true, and the beautiful in plot and character. With clarity and elegance, Guroian reads deeply into the classic stories. He demonstrates how these stories challenge and enliven the moral imaginations of children. And he shows the listener how to get "inside" of classic stories and communicate their lessons to the child. 
   
   
   
  For more than two decades Tending the Heart of Virtue has been embraced by parents, guardians, and teachers for whom the stories it discusses are not only beloved classics but repositories of moral wisdom.

  Enslaved Native Americans and...

  A compelling study into the history and lasting influence of enslaved Native people in early South Carolina. 
   
   
   
  In 1708, the governor of South Carolina responded to a request from London to describe the population of the colony. This response included an often-overlooked segment of the population: Native Americans, who made up one-fourth of all enslaved people in the colony. Yet it was not long before these descriptions of enslaved Native people all but disappeared from the archive. 
   
   
   
  In Enslaved Native Americans and the Making of Colonial South Carolina, D. Andrew Johnson argues that Native people were crucial to the development of South Carolina's economy and culture. By meticulously scouring documentary sources and creating a database of over 15,000 mentions of enslaved people, Johnson uses a uniquely interdisciplinary approach to reconsider the history of South Carolina and center the enslaved Native people who were forced to live and work on its plantations. Johnson also employs spatial analysis and examines archaeological evidence to study Native slavery in a plantation context.

  Medieval Conflicts and Dynasties...

  This volume explores how rival dynasties, religious authorities, and expanding empires shaped the geopolitical and cultural map of the Middle Ages. 
  Begin with The Investiture Controversy, the clash between the Church and monarchs over who held the authority to appoint bishops. This power struggle between emperors and popes tested the boundaries between secular and spiritual rule and laid the foundation for modern concepts of church-state relations. 
  Move next to The Reconquista, the centuries-long campaign to reclaim the Iberian Peninsula from Muslim rule. Fueled by religious fervor and royal ambition, this protracted conflict transformed Spain and Portugal and culminated in the powerful Catholic monarchies that would launch the Age of Exploration. 
  Then explore The Norman Conquest, a pivotal event that redefined English history. William the Conqueror's triumph at the Battle of Hastings in 1066 not only shifted the English throne but also reshaped the culture, language, and law of the British Isles. 
  Finally, journey to The Norman Sicily, where Norman adventurers established a multicultural kingdom blending Latin, Greek, and Arab traditions. This dynamic realm became a beacon of learning and tolerance during a time of widespread division. 
  These four works together uncover the complex web of ambition, religion, and warfare that fueled Europe's transformation during the Middle Ages.
