In Marrow of Tradition, Charles W. Chesnutt delves into the harrowing events of the 1898 Wilmington, North Carolina massacre, illuminating the deep-seated roots of racism in the post-Reconstruction South.

For a brief moment in the summer of 1900, Robert Charles was arguably the most infamous Black man in the United States. After an altercation with police on a New Orleans street, Charles killed two police officers and fled.

Testosterone propels our drive for exploration and risk, for competition and creation, and even our survival. The effects of testosterone permeate the traditions, philosophy, and literature of every known culture - without it, the world would be a drastically different place. It also has a role in humanity's darker side, contributing to violence, hubris, poverty, crime, and selfishness. Recent revelations of the science of testosterone show that high levels will deplete compassion and generosity, and even reduce the affection we show our children.

Some of the most profound growth of our lives can happen in the home stretch, the years after age 60 or so. It's a time when we can finally crystallize the meaning of what we've been and done so far and fully expand into the self we've always intended to be, guided by the voice of the soul. But, says psychologist Charles Garfield, that can only happen if we first loosen the grip of the life we've led so far, the one that's been focused outwardly - on activity, achievement, and the idea of success - and let our souls lead the way.

Once upon a time, I had a whimsical idea to write a book about Cats. When I shared this thought with friends, the responses were mixed one burst into laughter, another reminded me that there were countless books on the subject, while yet another expressed doubt that anyone would be interested in my take. One friend even suggested I consider writing about Dogs, Horses, or Pigs instead. Feeling a bit disheartened by their reactions, I shelved my idea and pursued other projects. As time passed, I took the opportunity to gather a delightful collection of Cat anecdotes, and I hope within these ...
