Summary

In "The Winning of the West: From the Alleghanies to the Mississippi, 1777-1783," Theodore Roosevelt masterfully chronicles the early American frontier expansion during a pivotal period in U.S. history. This work combines rigorous historical analysis with vivid storytelling, offering readers a rich tapestry of adventure, struggle, and resilience. Divided into multiple volumes, the book highlights the pivotal role of Western expansion in shaping American identity, meticulously detailing the interplay between Native American tribes, settlers, and the burgeoning American government through an engaging narrative style that interweaves personal anecdotes and historical documents. Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th President of the United States and a passionate advocate for conservation and American nationalism, draws upon his extensive background in history, politics, and his personal experiences in the West to inform his writing. His life's journey'Äîmarked by resilience in his youth and a voracious appetite for adventure'Äîshaped his perspectives on the American spirit and its manifest destiny, providing a unique lens through which he interprets this formative period. "The Winning of the West" is indispensable for readers interested in American history, as it provides not only a historical account but also a philosophical reflection on American values and identity. Roosevelt's evocative prose encourages readers to consider the complexities of westward expansion and its lasting impact on the nation'Äôs fabric.

    We broke our new series on learning Filipino [Tagalog] down into different learning stages. Start with the "Lower Beginner" books followed by the "Beginner" and "Upper Beginner" books. Next, progress to the "Intermediate" series, then test and reinforce your knowledge with the "Conversations" series. 
This audiobook is divided into units.While it provides different learning patterns and accommodates various needs, this audiobook focuses on helping you improve your ability to understand, speak, and memorise Filipino [Tagalog]. 
In Unit 1 you will hear Filipino [Tagalog] decoded with each syllable spoken very slowly and clearly with repetition. Immediately before each sentence is spoken, you will hear the translation, so you will always understand what is being said. 
Unit 2 focuses solely on increasing your listening ability, which will improve your abilities to engage in dialogue with a native Filipino [Tagalog] speaker. This chapter requires you to listen very carefully to nuances in the language. 
By Unit 3 you will already notice progress in your abilities to speak and understand Filipino [Tagalog]. The spoken translation is followed by two repetitions in Filipino [Tagalog] at a completely natural speed. While you are learning to process naturally spoken Filipino [Tagalog], Units 3 and 4 will help you memorise new vocabulary and full sentences. 
In Unit 5 you can test yourself on how much you have learned. If you are having difficulties, we suggest you revisit the listening, speaking, or memorisation section of Units 1, 2 3 or 4, according to what you need more help with.

    The Delectable Negro - Human...

    Scholars of US and transatlantic slavery have largely ignored or dismissed accusations that Black Americans were cannibalized. Vincent Woodard takes the enslaved person's claims of human consumption seriously, focusing on both the starvation of the slave and the tropes of cannibalism on the part of the slaveholder, and further draws attention to the ways in which Blacks experienced their consumption as a fundamentally homoerotic occurrence. 
 
 
 
Utilizing many staples of African American literature and culture, such as the slave narratives of Olaudah Equiano, Harriet Jacobs, and Frederick Douglass, as well as other less circulated materials like James L. Smith's slave narrative, runaway slave advertisements, and numerous articles from Black newspapers published in the nineteenth century, Woodard traces the racial assumptions, political aspirations, gender codes, and philosophical frameworks that dictated both European and white American arousal towards Black males and hunger for Black male flesh. He concludes with an examination of the controversial chain gang oral sex scene in Toni Morrison's Beloved, suggesting that even at the end of the twentieth and beginning of the twenty-first century, we are still at a loss for language with which to describe Black male hunger within a plantation culture of consumption.

    A physician’s life unravels into addiction and despair before being radically transformed by a single, overwhelming encounter with 5-MeO-DMT, the secretion of the Sonoran desert toad. Out of that experience of “divine light” emerges a new vocation as a healer and facilitator, blending modern medicine with entheogenic ceremony to help people face trauma, addiction, depression and fear of death. The book combines confession, case stories and spiritual teaching to present 5-MeO-DMT as both a dangerous initiatory fire and a sacrament that can reorient a life toward service, humility and nondual awareness.
