  Riveting ghost stories with history from all the major engagements of the war.Civil War Ghost Trails examines the major engagements of the Civil War and their connections to the paranormal world. The history of each battlefield is followed by the classic ghost stories that have been around since the guns fell silent. Mark Nesbitt also collected newer stories and attempted a paranormal investigation, including Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP), at many of the sites to see what could be found. In some cases, the results were astounding.  Some of the spirits included in the book are the Headless Zouave at Bull Run, the Drummer Boy at Shiloh, and the Phantom Battalion at Gettysburg. Ghosts appear at the Bloody Lane at Antietam and Caroline Street in Fredericksburg, as well as sites at Chancellorsville, Vicksburg, Chickamauga, Chattanooga, Petersburg, and Appomattox Court House. A special section of the book explores the haunted Civil War prisons at Johnson’s Island in Ohio, Point Lookout in Maryland, and Andersonville in Georgia. Abraham Lincoln’s many White House apparitions are discussed in a section on wartime Washington, D.C.

  Directly from the headlines: Even before its mandated closer due to the Covid-19 virus epidemic, after spending billions of dollars, the American education system was in crisis. Students were not being prepared for anything except more years without adequate benefit and were turning off. Teachers were quitting in droves, and taxpayers were losing faith in the schools they paid for with their taxes. Resulting in nation-wide teacher shortages, it never needed to happen. This project is as explosive to the field of education as Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring was for agriculture and pesticides, or Ralph Nader’s Unsafe at Any Speed was for auto safety. And like those books, A Teacher’s Quest not only identifies problems but offers solutions.

  The figures are shocking: 40% of American women and nearly a quarter of American men have been sexually assaulted. While #MeToo stories and the survivors who shared them have helped combat sexual harassment in the workplace, improved police interventions, and resulted in high-profile convictions, the public has only just begun to reckon with the impact sexual assault has on survivors. The ongoing silence points to the still-taboo intersection of two subjects: sexual assault and sexuality. 
   
   
   
  Sex After Sexual Assault explores this crossroads through the lens of survivors' own stories. Millions of people across the United States experience sexual assault, and 94% of survivors experience symptoms of traumatic stress. These symptoms may affect our sex lives. This crucial book tackles the obstacles a survivor frequently faces while rebuilding a sex life after trauma. Each chapter includes a selection of survivors' stories. These stories illuminate how survivors have navigated their struggles into positive practices and outlooks and reimagined what sex and intimacy can look like. 
   
   
   
  For survivors it is a guidebook, a road map, true stories to lean on. These are survivors' stories, but the broader picture they paint is for anybody seeking more intentional, connected, and pleasurable sex with the awareness that rape culture impacts everyone.

  On 25 December 1943 the German battlecruiser Scharnhorst slipped out Altenfjord in Norway to attack Arctic convoy JW55B which was carrying vital war supplies to the Soviet Union. But British naval intelligence knew of the Scharnhorst's mission before she sailed and the vulnerable convoy was protected by a large Royal Naval force including the battleship Duke of York. In effect the Scharnhorst was sailing into a trap.
