The Atlantic World
From 1400 to 1900 the Atlantic Ocean served as a major highway, allowing people and goods to move easily between Europe, Africa, and the Americas. These interactions and exchanges transformed European, African, and American societies and led to the creation of new peoples, cultures, economies, and ideas throughout the Atlantic arena. The Atlantic World provides a comprehensive and lucid history of one of the most important and impactful cross-cultural encounters in human history. Empires, economies, and trade in the Atlantic world thrived due to the European drive to expand as well as the creative ways in which the peoples living along the Atlantic's borders adapted to that drive. This comprehensive, cohesively written textbook offers a balanced view of the activity in the Atlantic world. The 40 maps, 60 illustrations, and multiple excerpts from primary documents bring the history to life. Each chapter offers a reading list for those interested in a more in-depth look at the period.

Tarot on Earth
The Tarot is steeped in mystery and magic. It's also an excellent tool for making decisions, forecasting potential outcomes, and even locating lost objects. In Tarot on Earth, Tom Benjamin shakes the dust from these ancient cards and reinvigorates the learning process with a series of activities that connect cards to the issues we face in modern life. With lessons on numerology, mastering the court cards, and creating narrative out of spreads, you'll learn to conduct more precise, practical readings, on everything from cheating lovers to lost objects. This immersive class, built for beginners and pros alike, will ground your readings in real life, and help you answer the kinds of questions most commonly asked of card-slingers at all levels. Sprinkled with insight from the author's nearly twenty years working with the cards, Tarot on Earth offers a fresh approach to a wise and timeless tool.

Lincoln’s New Salem
Originally published in 1956, in this book Benjamin P. Thomas tells the story of the village where Abraham Lincoln lived from 1831 to 1837. His three-part examination of the village often referred to as Lincoln’s “Alma Mater” features the founding and early history of New Salem, Lincoln’s impact on the village and its effect on him, and the story of the Lincoln legend and the reconstruction of the town. Thomas argues convincingly that New Salem was the town where Lincoln acquired faith in himself, faith in people. At 22 the future president drifted into town seeking to become a blacksmith. Thomas introduces us to the people who created New Salem and who knew, influenced, and befriend...
