This is a study that digs deeply into this 'other' slavery, the bondage of Europeans by North-African Muslims that flourished during the same centuries as the heyday of the trans-Atlantic trade from sub-Saharan Africa to the Americas. Here are explored the actual extent of Barbary Coast slavery, the dynamic relationship between master and slave, and the effects of this slaving on Italy, one of the slave takers' primary targets and victims.

Myths propagated by organized religion not only hamper efforts to apply reason to our problems but can even foster violent conflicts that threaten global security. Myths of the Tribe argues that the belief systems of all major religions have become a detriment to clear thinking, rational conduct, and wise public policy, suggesting we substitute a rational analysis of all problems in the light of objective scientific evidence, a system of ethics that allows complete individual liberty constrained only by the principle of harming no one else, taking personal responsibility for one’s own welfare and actions, and the absence of government control over the pursuit of happiness.

This is the first volume of the collected edition which assembles the first three stories of Trinity the Troublemaker. Trinity Tucker is the kind of girl who will fight the good fight for others. Her first adventure was facing the school bully, and the stories just get harder from there. With her friends Colin, Edward, Priscilla, Bobby and the rest, those challenges are met with determination and empathy. Children of all ages will find something life affirming in the pages of this book. Additionally, there is a mini-series first published in the form of a blog collected here for the first time in print. "St. Clarkes Boarding School" is the story of redemption for a young man who first needed to be broken before he could be put back together better than before. A bully who learned his lesson.
