From centuries of Native American settlements that ended with the removal of the Creeks to the rough-and-ready pioneer days, the area was rich in history long before it was called Atlanta. Author Mark Pifer unfolds a complex saga, including forgotten details from the struggles of African Americans and new immigrants, while noting modern locations bursting with tales that predate the City in the Forest's rise amid the treetops.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50388642496785,"sku":"CIN1540245918VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51035461714193,"sku":"NIN9781540245915","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52131464118545,"sku":"NLS9781540245915","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1540245918.jpg?v=1751022511"},{"product_id":"anywhere-but-here-book-mark-pifer-9781478336686","title":"Anywhere But Here","description":"In almost all of the major religions there is a person who came to some amazing realizations about their place in the universe. It usually followed time alone in deep introspection and resulted in a message that they shared with the world. And it is highly improbable to believe that the beautiful sentiments found in the many religious\/spiritual texts came from knowingly disingenuous sources. Those who were writing about the mystical\/spiritual experiences that they felt firsthand and through which insights like \"Do unto others as you would have done to yourself\" came from clearly experienced SOMETHING. Thousands of years worth of material has been written by many sources, many voices, and they have all been very similar: from Christianity's \"Love thy neighbor as thyself\" to Buddhism's \"One who, while himself seeking happiness, oppresses with violence other beings who also desire happiness, will not attain happiness hereafter\" or Hinduism's \"One should never do that to another which one regards as injurious to one's own self. This, in brief, is the rule of dharma. Other behavior is due to selfish desires\" we hear echoes of the same messages, messages of a feeling of unity with others, with the world, and the universe at large. For those thousands of years the people who were the sources of these words had only the use of poetic metaphorical language to discuss their shifts of perception, we now, through neuroscience have a clearer view of what it was they were pointing to with these beautiful sentiments.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50475224695057,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50475224858897,"sku":"GOR008825177","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1478336684.jpg?v=1751085154"},{"product_id":"hidden-history-of-old-atlanta-book-mark-pifer-9781467146074","title":"Hidden History of Old Atlanta","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51027900989713,"sku":"NIN9781467146074","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51329147437329,"sku":"CIN1467146072VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1467146072.jpg?v=1781350547"},{"product_id":"accept-what-is-book-mark-pifer-9781511530798","title":"Accept What Is","description":"Maybe this book isn't for you?

Come back to this book when you are ready. When your mind has exhausted all of its \"bright ideas\" and when you no longer believe in the refuge of a future scenario when \"I will be happy.\" Because I can give you the whole thing RIGHT NOW if you are able to hear it. If you are able to listen directly and do what I say you will never need another book on spirituality again. Ready? Here it is: Open your heart fully to what is with a sense of \"yes.\" \"When?\" You say. Now. \"When is now?\" It's always now. The time is now again. The time is now again. The time is now again. That's it. That's the whole thing. Now put down the book and do that.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51032122491153,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51032124883217,"sku":"NIN9781511530798","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1511530790.jpg?v=1750760280"},{"product_id":"native-decatur-book-mark-pifer-9780692974377","title":"Native Decatur","description":"The city of Decatur, Georgia, was founded in 1823. The place of Decatur has existed for several billion years. Unlike other history books that tell the story of a town beginning with its founding, Native Decatur tells the story of how the place came to be. The story begins over a billion years ago with the creation of the current landscape and explains each era of natural and cultural history as a saga of evolution, tragedy, violence, wonder and hope that led to the settlement of the city. The narrative is supported by more than 75 illustrations, photos, historical maps and exhibits. Today's points of interest and remnants of the past are then specifically identified and explained so that you can visit and appreciate them today.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51141199823121,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51141200773393,"sku":"CIN0692974377VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52736345506065,"sku":"NIN9780692974377","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0692974377.jpg?v=1751393859"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-mark-pifer.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
