Yoga classes and Zen meditation, New-Age retreats and nature mysticism—all are part of an ongoing religious experimentation that has surprisingly deep roots in American history. Tracing out the country’s Transcendentalist and cosmopolitan religious impulses over the last two centuries, Restless Souls explores America’s abiding romance with spirituality as religion’s better half. Now in its second edition, including a new preface, Leigh Eric Schmidt's fascinating book provides a rich account of how this open-road spirituality developed in American culture in the first place as well as a sweeping survey of the liberal religious movements that touted it and ensured its continued vitality.
From the New York Times bestselling author of Tears We Cannot Stop "Entertaining Race is a splendid way to spend quality time reading one of the most remarkable thinkers in America today." —Speaker Nancy Pelosi "To read Entertaining Race is to encounter the life-long vocation of a teacher who preaches, a preacher who teaches and an activist who cannot rest until all are set free." —Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock For more than thirty years, Michael Eric Dyson has played a prominent role in the nation as a public intellectual, university professor, cultural critic, social activist and ordained Baptist minister. He has presented a rich and resourceful set of ideas about American history and culture. Now for the first time he brings together the various components of his multihued identity and eclectic pursuits. Entertaining Race is a testament to Dyson’s consistent celebration of the outsized impact of African American culture and politics on this country. Black people were forced to entertain white people in slavery, have been forced to entertain the idea of race from the start, and must find entertaining ways to make race an object of national conversation. Dyson’s career embodies these and other ways of performing Blackness, and in these pages, ranging from 1991 to the present, he entertains race with his pen, voice and body, and occasionally, alongside luminaries like Cornel West, David Blight, Ibram X. Kendi, Master P, MC Lyte, Ta-Nehisi Coates, Alicia Garza, John McWhorter, and Jordan Peterson. Most of this work will be new to readers, a fresh light for many of his long-time fans and an inspiring introduction for newcomers. Entertaining Race offers a compelling vision from the mind and heart of one of America’s most important and enduring voices.

Detailed explanatory answers to 581 actual questions from the 1992 multistate bar exam. Explains not only Why the right answer is right, but also Why the wrong answers are wrong and How to take the bar exam. The bar examination tests legal reasoning: NONE of the four choices might be correct! Likewise, more than one answer may be correct! The examinee must choose the BEST choice of the given choices! Failing to see that fact alone costs many students their "pass": Wrong answers are less exact, less accurate, or outright wrong, as compared to the correct answer which is most accurate of given choices or the most likely argument to be accepted by the court on existing law or a good faith argument thereon. In other words, the best answer is not necessarily correct! Furthermore, tThe least wrong answer is still ... best! These are the actual questions asked on the bar exam which were released by the National Conference of Bar Examiners (NCBEX). The NCBE released those questions and retains copyright over them. Use of these questions does not consitute an endorsement by the NCBE. The explanations are complete, and include vital test-taking tips for the bar exam! No copyright is claimed as to the questions: the explanations to the answers were authored by Dr. Eric Engle LL.M. (Fulbright).
