This is a book of the human experience. It puts forth a path that better allows for the power of our mystery. It takes personal experiences of a boy growing up in the Bronx, New York, and expounds upon them in a way that shows how many accepted habits are working against us. It points out the seamless choices we make that have a huge impact on us individually, and in turn ratchet up to have large scale effects. It is also a story of a person who went through overwhelming physical and mental torment in one of the most affluent counties in the country, in Westchester County, New York. This is where all his rights as a US Citizen were disregarded. It points out how technology has taken on a life beyond our control and how we are left handcuffed at its mercy. Finally, it's a book about enlightenment and how it's not only a path to work toward, but a direction we have to be in or we will fall victim to the insidious and destructive course which has now happened in our country.

A book about subtle things that greatly affect us in life that aren't given the weight they should be given.

An illuminating and moving account of the remarkable life and everlasting impact of Dr. Martin Luther King. A life story of Martin Luther King, Jr., from 1929 till his death in 1968 Bennett has succeeded in providing his readers an intimate view into the physical, mental, and spiritual development of Dr. King. Michael offers fascinating insights into Who Martin Luther king was, his magnetic character, which was a mixture of piety, ambition, and fight for civil rights. He does this by deftly interweaving the story of King's quest with a history of the struggle for equality that African Americans have been engaged in throughout history. He investigates the complicated connections that Martin Luther King, Jr. had with other civil rights activists, the administrations of John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson, and J. Edgar Hoover of the FBI, who had an unrelenting vengeance against him. The end product is a biography that does a good job of communicating not just the events of King's life but also the significance of his legacy. The tragic conclusion to King's story and about the Killers. Happy Reading.

"The Tullahoma campaign of 1863 is often overlooked, overshadowed by the simultaneous events at Gettysburg and Vicksburg. However, the strategic results of the campaign were enormous: the Confederacy lost the human, agricultural, and industrial capacity of middle Tennessee; Chattanooga came under fire; and the Union Army of the Cumberland took a large step forward in the campaign to divide the Confederacy."--BOOK JACKET.

The Tullahoma Campaign took place in Middle Tennessee, setting Union General William S. Rosecrans's Army of the Cumberland against Confederate General Braxton Bragg's Army of Tennessee. Rosecrans's objective was to force the Confederate Army to vacate Middle Tennessee and put pressure on Chattanooga. Through a series of maneuvers, rather than battles, he achieved his goal; however, Union victories at Vicksburg and Gettysburg would overshadow his success. Decisions of the Tullahoma Campaign introduces readers to critical decisions made by Confederate and Union commanders throughout that eventful summer of 1863. Rather than offering a history of the Tullahoma Campaign, Michael R. Bradley hones in on a sequence of critical decisions confronting commanders on both sides of the clash to provide a blueprint of the campaign at its tactical core. Identifying and exploring the critical decisions in this way allows students of the campaign to progress from a rudimentary sense of the what of warfare, to a mature grasp of why. Complete with maps and a driving tour, Decisions of the Tullahoma Campaign is an indispensable primer, and readers looking for a concise introduction to the Tullahoma Campaign can tour this sacred ground--or read about it at their leisure--with key insights into the campaign and a deeper understanding of the Civil War itself. Decisions of the Tullahoma Campaign is the eighth in a series of books that will explore the critical decisions of major campaigns and battles of the Civil War.

This Element explores the theme of 'Gothic sympathy' as it appears in a collection of 'Last Man' novels. A liminal site of both possibility and irreconcilability, Gothic sympathy at once challenges the anthropocentric bias of traditional notions of sympathetic concern, premising compassionate relations with other beings - animal, vegetal, etc. - beyond the standard measure of the liberal-humanist subject, and at the same time acknowledges the horror that is the ineluctable and untranslatable otherness accompanying, interrupting, and shaping such a sympathetic connection. Many examples of 'Last Man' fiction explore the dialectical impasse of Gothic sympathy by dramatizing complicated relationships between a lone liberal-humanist subject and other-than-human or posthuman subjects that will persist beyond humanity's extinction. Such confrontations as they appear in Mary Shelley's The Last Man, H.G. Wells's The Time Machine, and Richard Matheson's I Am Legend will be explored.
