  The underground rock wall in Rockwall, Texas has fascinated me for years. I’ve read everything I could online about it. Recently I moved from Los Angeles to Denton, Texas which is only about an hour drive from Rockwall. So I went there and spent an hour with the Rockwall County Museum Curator and learned a lot more about the structure.Was also able to examine and take pictures of the wall section moved from the actual wall and reconstructed outside the museum.In this book I’ve related the history of the wall’s discovery, excavations, interesting items and structures found on or near the wall, and information about possible giants who might have built it.There are a lot of unanswered questions about this structure which still need to be learned. Those questions are listed near the end of this book.

  "One of the penalties of an ecological education," wrote Aldo Leopold, "is that one lives alone in a world of wounds." As climate change and other environmental degradations become more evident, experts predict that an increasing number of people will suffer emotional and psychological distress as a result. Many are feeling these effects already. In the pages of Solastalgia, they will find a source of companionship, inspiration, and advice. 
   
   
   
  The concept of solastalgia comes from the Australian philosopher Glenn Albrecht, who describes it as "the homesickness we feel while still at home." It’s the pain and longing we feel as we realize the world immediately around us is changing, with our love for that world serving as a catalyst for action on its behalf. 
   
   
   
  This powerful anthology brings together thirty-four writers—educators, journalists, poets, and scientists—to share their emotions in the face of environmental crisis. They share their solastalgia, their beloved places, their vulnerability, their stories, their vision of what we can create.

  Book summary and Analysis by Loudly, this is an abridged version of the original title 
   
  In A Fever in the Heartland, embark on a gripping journey through one of the darkest and most disturbing chapters of American history—the rise and fall of the Ku Klux Klan in the 1920s. This audiobook delves into the Klan’s resurgence, exploring how it capitalized on social fear, political turmoil, and cultural shifts to regain influence across the United States, particularly in the Midwest. 
  Led by figures like D.C. Stephenson, the Klan expanded its reach into local governments and law enforcement, embedding itself deeply into the fabric of American life. With its rhetoric of nationalism and white supremacy, the Klan thrived on divisiveness, targeting not only African Americans but also immigrants, Catholics, and Jews. However, as its influence grew, so did the organization’s internal corruption and hypocrisy. 
  Through captivating storytelling and meticulous research, the author chronicles the Klan’s political manipulation, its eventual scandalous downfall, and the enduring legacy of hate that persists long after the organization’s decline. This audiobook reveals how the Klan’s ability to disguise itself as a moral and patriotic force enabled it to cause immense harm, only to be brought down by a shocking scandal that exposed its true nature. 
  A Fever in the Heartland is a chilling reminder of the power of fear and extremism and the importance of staying vigilant in the fight for justice, unity, and equality. This audiobook challenges listeners to confront the uncomfortable truths of history while offering a powerful lesson on the dangers of divisive rhetoric and the resilience required to fight against it.

  An entertaining and enlightening anthology of classical Greek and Roman writings on animals—and our vital relationships with them 
   
   
   
  How to Care about Animals is a fascinating menagerie of passages from classical literature about animals and the lives we share with them. Drawing on ancient writers from Aesop to Ovid, classicist and farmer M. D. Usher has gathered a healthy litter of selections that reveal some of the ways Greeks and Romans thought about everything from lions, bears, and wolves to birds, octopuses, and snails—and that might inspire us to rethink our own relationships with our fellow creatures. Presented in lively new translations, these pieces are filled with surprises—anticipating but also offering new perspectives on many of our current feelings and ideas about animals. 
   
   
   
  Here, Porphyry makes a compelling argument for vegetarianism and asserts that the just treatment of animals makes us better people; Pliny the Elder praises the virtuosity of songbirds and the virtuousness of elephants; Plutarch has one of Circe's pigs from the Odyssey make a serio-comic case for the dignity of the beasts of the field; Aristotle puts the study of animals on par with anthropology; we hear timeless Aesopian fables, including "The Hen That Laid the Golden Egg" and "The Fox and the Grapes"; and there is much, much more.
