History records a great deal about ante-bellum southern life. General Sherman's march to the Sea is an indelible part of history. Yet, there is a chapter of that era that has gone by unnoticed even to the point that there is a story that needs to be told. In the Appalachian Mountains of Northern Georgia there was a surprising amount of sentiment felt for the Union. There were Confederate military units created called "Home Guards" with the purpose of removing these elements of Union support. This was the setting for conflict. There were many skirmishes between Federal Cavalry and the Home Guards. Also, the novel gives insight into life of that little known region. Included are details about making whiskey, hunting and trapping, the essentials of survival. There is a story of one such unit led by a man that turned his command into lawless criminals that were no better than common horse thieves. This character provides a psychology subplot of human nature when not restrained by the 'rule of law'.Binding Type: Paperback

Powerful for the presenter
Format: Paperback
My boss's boss recently told me that our organization's presentations are boring data dumps that make her wish she was somewhere other than there listening but not really hearing or caring about this slide and dreading the next. She suggested that since I was going to be doing a lot of presentations in the future I should avoid that method and do better presentations. I immediately sought advice from our best presenter and learned that his method came from his gut feelings about what worked better. He has good instincts but to codify what he explained I decided to buy a book to learn why his approach works. The closest book with an effective explanation I could find is "beyond bullet points". It captured and expanded on the instinct my new mentor explained so that I could now understand how to use the slides to supplement the story and how to interweave the data so the whole presentation is more meaningful and memorable. I recommend this book to anyone looking for more of an answer on how to improve their presentations and eliminate the data dump in bullet points.

Great for Presentation Education
Format: Paperback
It has been some time since I have utilized Beyond Bullet Points, but this is one text book that kept with me. The point of the book is to help a presenter get their point across to the audience through Powerpoint presentations, and the book does this well. I am sure there are editions other than this one at this point, and I would definitely recommend looking into them in order to keep up to date. Starting with this book is a great idea due to its simplicity.

great informational book
Format: Paperback
I had to buy this book for a graduate-level statistics course. I thought it was kinda silly at first, but it has been a great tool. It has beautiful graphics with fantastic step-by-step instructions and explanations on the whats and whys of tables and figures. I've made some great infographics with the help of this book. Highly recommend for anyone who ever has to present data in some form of fashion.
