Synopsis

A compelling biography of one of the most controversial and significant figures in American history. John Brown was a white abolitionist who led a raid on the federal armory at Harpers Ferry in 1859, in an attempt to incite a slave rebellion and overthrow the institution of slavery in the United States. In addition to his analysis of Brown's life and legacy, Du Bois also provides a broader historical context for understanding the abolitionist movement and the struggle for racial justice in the United States.

    In the history of ancient Macedonia, the last three Antigonid kings—Philip V, his son Perseus, and the pretender Andriscus or Philip VI—are commonly overlooked in favor of their predecessors Philip II and his son Alexander the Great, who established a Macedonian empire. By the time Philip V became king, Macedonia was no longer an imperial power and Rome was fast spreading its dominance over the Mediterranean. Viewed as postscripts to the kingdom's heyday, the last Macedonian kings are often denounced for self-serving ambitions, flawed policies, and questionable personal qualities by hostile ancient writers. They are condemned for defeats by Rome that saw both the end of the monarchy and the fall of the formidable Macedonian phalanx before the Roman legion. 
     
     
     
    Producing the first full-scale treatment of Philip V in eighty years and the first in English of Perseus and Andriscus in more than fifty, Ian Worthington argues that this period was far from a postscript to Macedonia's Classical greatness and disagrees that the last Antigonid kings were merely collateral damage in Rome's ascendancy in the east. Despite superior Roman manpower and resources, Philip and Perseus often had the upper hand in their wars against Rome. As Worthington asserts, these kings deserve to be remembered for striving to preserve their kingdom's independence against staggering odds.

    The esteemed Jungian psychologist counsels on how to cope with feelings of failure or regret in the latter half of life and how to open to a more meaningful existence, even if outer circumstances cannot be changed. 
     
     
     
    In Living Your Unlived Life, the renowned therapist Robert A. Johnson, writing with longtime collaborator and fellow Jungian psychologist Jerry M. Ruhl, offers a simple but transformative premise: Our abandoned, unrealized, or underdeveloped talents, when they are not fully integrated into our lives, can become profoundly troublesome in midlife, leading us to depression, suddenly hating our spouses, our jobs, or even our lives. When our unlived lives are brought to consciousness, however, they can become the fuel that can propel us beyond our limitations, even if our outer circumstances cannot always be visibly altered.

    Writing a book is freakin' hard as crap. Brainstorming, outlining, writing, editing...it takes a chunk out of you. A piece of your soul. But unfortunately, that's not the hardest part of the process. Once you've given your book all you've got, you've still got to give a little bit more. Do you see where I'm going with this? 
    Marketing. 
    Marketing is a jerk. It's really hard. Especially as a teenager. If you're like me when I started out, you have very limited experience, no money, and a particularly crowded schedule. Oh, and you have to decide who you want to ask to Prom. Let me tell you, it's a lot to ask of anyone. But to ask this from someone struggling with severe acne? 
    It's no wonder that very few teenagers have ever published a bestselling book. However, I just happen to be one of those few teenagers who HAVE published a bestselling book. And I want to teach you everything I know. I published my first book when I was 13. It sold 5 copies. I published dozens of books after that. 
    And I want to show you how I did it. I'm going to take you through the entire process. A to Z. Sound like something you want in your life? Then don't hesitate. Let's do this thing. Scroll up and buy your copy of "Publishing Through Puberty" today!
