Often remembered as the president who died shortly after taking office, William Henry Harrison remains misunderstood by most Americans. Before becoming the ninth president of the United States in 1841, Harrison was instrumental in shaping the early years of westward expansion. Robert M. Owens now explores that era through the lens of Harrison’s career, providing a new synthesis of his role in the political development of Indiana Territory and in shaping Indian policy in the Old Northwest.

Twenty-five percent of adults identify as chronic procrastinators. Among students, that number hits 95%. These aren't statistics about lazy people. They're about millions trapped in cycles of shame and self-hatred based on a fundamental misunderstanding of how human brains actually work. Every productivity guru selling discipline and optimization is peddling neuroscientific nonsense. Serial entrepreneur and reformed perfectionist Brant Maxwell spent fifteen...

In this series we listen to short stories that are NOT by perhaps the most well-known author of this type. But the many other rich talents in the volume may have treated the subject matter a little differently, or were perhaps just overlooked in the stampede to applaud the winner, but these authors are of equal merit. Each of their works is laden with talent, has purpose, and is rich and textured in this gloried niche of literature.

22 writers talk about their memorable excursions and the act of walking, and share their creative observations. In these six series, taken from BBC Radio 3's The Essay, an array of novelists, poets, journalists and biographers chart the varied and inspiring walks they have taken around Britain and elsewhere.

Adventures of a couple of self-proclaimed dining snobs.

The Modern Age is one of information overload. Bombarded, surrounded, and battered by facts, figures, opinions and seemingly whatever else comes out of anyone’s head from all directions at all hours of the day and night. It’s exhausting. In the pens of such luminaries as Henry James, E M Delafield, C E Montague, Charlotte Perkins Gilman and many others we connect with old fashioned media from publishing and advertising to telegrams and radio and everything in between in ways that are surprising, enlightening but always entertaining.

His critical father left him with an internal voice that found ...

This series is written for non-Historians as a handy easy-to-read look at American History. It’s guaranteed to reveal to the average reader things about America’s story they don’t know. This first volume covers our Colonial History. It’s composed of short chapters each of which is designed to be a stand-alone treatment of a segment of time. It’s my hope that this book will contribute to our historical perspective the lack of which which I believe is a major factor in the current lack of appreciation for the uniqueness which is the United States of America.

In these two chapters of the Letter to the Ephesians we follow Paul as he leads us from glory to glory so that we may be found worthy of our high calling. As in the first two books of this commentary I seek to share the historical and theological knowledge I have gained through decades of intense study as well as the revelations I believe God has given me. I am not making any attempt to proclaim doctrines or to say that this commentary is the final word on the Word. For God always has fresh things to say to all who will listen.
