  An intimate look at the afterlife of lynching through the personal stories of Black victims and survivors who lived through and beyond its trauma 
  Mari N. Crabtree traces the long afterlife of lynching in the South through the traumatic memories it left in its wake. African American victims and survivors had to find a way to live through and beyond the horrors of lynching. 
  Crabtree offers a theory of African American collective trauma and memory rooted in a strategy for “working through” trauma that has long existed within the African American cultural tradition: the ironic spirit of the blues sensibility—a spirit of misdirection and cunning that blends joy and pain. Black southerners often shielded their loved ones from the most painful memories of local lynchings with strategic silences but also told lynching stories about vengeful ghosts or a wrathful God or the deathbed confessions of a lyncher tormented by his past 
  They protested lynching and its legacies through art and activism, and they mourned those lost to a mob’s fury. They infused a blues element into their lynching narratives to confront traumatic memories and keep the blues at bay, even if just for a spell. 
  Telling their stories troubles the simplistic binary of resistance or submission that has tended to dominate narratives of Black life and reminds us that amid the utter devastation of lynching were glimmers of hope and an affirmation of life.

  Barfield draws on sources from mythology, philosophy, history, literature, theology, and science to chronicle the evolution of human thought from Moses and Aristotle to Galileo and Keats. 
   
  Saving the Appearances is about the world as we see it and the world as it is; it is about God, human nature, and consciousness. The best-known of numerous books by the British sage whom C.S. Lewis called the "wisest and best of my unofficial teachers," it draws on sources from mythology, philosophy, history, literature, theology, and science to chronicle the evolution of human thought from Moses and Aristotle to Galileo and Keats. Barfield urges his readers to do away with the assumption that the relationship between people and their environment is static. He dares us to end our exploitation of the natural world and to acknowledge, even revel in, our participation in the diurnal creative process. 
   
  This audiobook is expertly read by Colin Fluxman, with audio engineering by Austin Conway. It was produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.

  On A Happy Life - What Does It...

  Lucius Annaeus Seneca, Aubrey...

  Can happiness be built, or does it only arrive by chance? 
   
  Seneca takes up what he calls the question everyone rushes toward without stopping to think about: what is a happy life, and how is one actually achieved? Addressed to his elder brother Gallio, this is the Stoic legend at his most ambitious and most nakedly human. 
  De Vita Beata was composed when Seneca was in his early sixties, still formally at the centre of imperial power as Nero's chief advisor, but with the political ground already shifting beneath him. It is the work of a man surrounded by danger, reasoning out how to live well under conditions he cannot fully control. 
  Seneca argues that happiness lies not in pleasure, wealth, acclaim, or comfort, but in a virtuous life lived in accordance with reason, in harmony with nature, and in freedom from the tyranny of desire and fear. He distinguishes true joy from the brittle satisfactions of appetite and ambition and engages with Epicurus, whose views he admired more than his fellow Stoics liked to admit. 
  What makes De Vita Beata especially compelling is when Seneca faces his critics directly. He was one of the wealthiest men in Rome, an intimate of imperial power, and a man whose philosophical professions of detachment sat awkwardly alongside his enormous fortune. He does not flinch from this. His defence, that the wise person can possess wealth without being possessed by it, that virtue is not proved by poverty but by the correct relationship to whatever fortune provides, is argued with honesty and considerable audacity. He admits that he himself is not yet a sage, but a patient in the process of healing. 
   
  A generous, practical, and deeply human meditation on what we chase and why, and on how to cultivate an inner fortress of tranquillity that fortune cannot breach.

  On April 12, 1861, Confederate troops began firing on Fort Sumter, beginning the bloodiest conflict in American history. Since that time numerous historians have described the attack in many well-regarded books, yet the event still remains overlooked at times in the minds of the public. 
   
   
   
  The Cannons Roar seeks to remedy that. Rather than providing a third-person, after-the-fact description, acclaimed author Bruce Chadwick will tell the story of the attack from the people who were in the thick of it. The Cannons Roar will not only provide portraits of the major players, it will give voice to dozens of regular people from across the country and socioeconomic spectrum. 
   
   
   
  Using letters, newspaper articles, diaries, journals, and other written sources, Chadwick describes in vivid detail the events preceding the attack, the attack itself, and its aftermath. Collectively, listeners will obtain a fuller understanding of the politics and thinking of political and military leaders that influenced their decisions or lack thereof. 
   
   
   
  Combining traditional history with the in-the-moment ethos of an oral history, The Cannons Roar brings this historic moment in American history to new and vivid life.
