The capital city of a nation founded on the premise of liberty, nineteenth-century Washington, D.C., was both an entrepot of urban slavery and the target of abolitionist ferment. The growing slave trade and the enactment of Black codes placed the city's Black women within the rigid confines of a social hierarchy ordered by race and gender. At the Threshold of Liberty reveals how these women--enslaved, fugitive, and free--imagined new identities and lives beyond the oppressive restrictions intended to prevent them from ever experiencing liberty, self-respect, and power. Consulting newspapers, government documents, letters, abolitionist records, legislation, and memoirs, Tamika Y. Nunley traces how Black women navigated social and legal proscriptions to develop their own ideas about liberty as they escaped from slavery, initiated freedom suits, created entrepreneurial economies, pursued education, and participated in political work. In telling these stories, Nunley places Black women at the vanguard of the history of Washington, D.C., and the momentous transformations of nineteenth-century America.

As if zombies crowding the streets wasn't weird enough, librarian-turned-sniper, Liberty Schonhauer, finds that some darn aliens created the virus that decimated Earth. And now, those very same aliens are about to abduct a boy, Colin, who may hold the key to a vaccine. Not that Liberty would've let them have any child, under any circumstances. Spiriting the boy away, Liberty is quickly joined by the badass Uncle Danny [no relation to them]. The two get the boy to a Fleet of ships, off the coast of Southern California. Liberty and Uncle Danny, swiftly becoming best friends, start to work for the Rear Admiral of the Fleet. First to resupply the Fleet with prescription drugs, and then to rescue other survivors. But the aliens have let loose a new complication: predatory alien-birds that are almost as tall as a person, and hunt anything that moves fast. However, the creatures may not be just vicious fowl. These new aliens may have an intelligence that rivals our own. Thinking on their feet, the two focus on getting home to Colin; around whom a new family is quietly forming. Despite all the zombies and aliens, Liberty's Run strives to take a realistic approach to dealing with an environment like this.

NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD WINNER This groundbreaking book offers the first global history of the loyalist exodus to Canada, the Caribbean, Sierra Leone, India, and beyond. At the end of the American Revolution, sixty thousand Americans loyal to the British cause fled the United States and became refugees throughout the British Empire. Liberty’s Exiles tells their story. This surprising new account of the founding of the United States and the shaping of the post-revolutionary world traces extraordinary journeys like the one of Elizabeth Johnston, a young mother from Georgia, who led her growing family to Britain, Jamaica, and Canada, questing for a home; black loyalists such as David George, who escaped from slavery in Virginia and went on to found Baptist congregations in Nova Scotia and Sierra Leone; and Mohawk Indian leader Joseph Brant, who tried to find autonomy for his people in Ontario. Ambitious, original, and personality-filled, this book is at once an intimate narrative history and a provocative analysis that changes how we see the revolution’s “losers” and their legacies.

Some time ago I published The Theory of Universal Genesis in the book The Divine Light; this text became the first chapter in the Bible of the Light. It is a dialogue between myself and the Divine Light that appeared to me in a lucid dream and which inspired me to write all this.Bible of the Light is an anthology composed of several books published along the time as and new books which for the first time will be published. For many years I felt that I will receive these revelations from the Divine Light and that I will publish such a work entitled Bible of the Light.To those wishing to is heal through the holy breath of Divine Light, them I wish to they find the tranquility and peace through these pages. No matter how unhappy would be some, through Bible of the Light will understand that everything is just a passing cloud, and that the true eternal life is alongside the Divine Light that is the true God. Amen.This Bible will make the definitive peace between God and Satan, in the man soul, because Satan is the Evil without which the Good identified through God and would lose any luster. All churches of the world would disappear if would not more existed Satan! The spiritual peace between Satan and God lead for the first time to a healthy society, where the folly, pride, vanity and hypocrisy, alongside with many other evils will disappear and once with these and servants of a Good who can not understand the Evil.Here you will find out to whom and how should you pray if you necessarily want to do it. If is necessary to yourself pray or not. Who is God and what wants Him from us, but and who we are and what we want from God from inside us. Amen.

Bestselling author and renowned Buddhist teacher Noah Levine adapts the Buddha's Four Noble Truths and Eight Fold Path into a proven and systematic approach to recovery from alcohol and drug addiction—an indispensable alternative to the 12-step program. While many desperately need the help of the 12-step recovery program, the traditional AA model's focus on an external higher power can alienate people who don't connect with its religious tenets. Refuge Recovery is a systematic method based on Buddhist principles, which integrates scientific, non-theistic, and psychological insight. Viewing addiction as cravings in the mind and body, Levine shows how a path of meditative awareness can alleviate those desires and ease suffering. Refuge Recovery includes daily meditation practices, written investigations that explore the causes and conditions of our addictions, and advice and inspiration for finding or creating a community to help you heal and awaken. Practical yet compassionate, Levine's successful Refuge Recovery system is designed for anyone interested in a non-theistic approach to recovery and requires no previous experience or knowledge of Buddhism or meditation.
