Synopsis

In "Mary Queen of Scots in History," C. A. Campbell presents a meticulously researched and nuanced exploration of the life and legacy of Mary Stuart, the enigmatic monarch who has fascinated historians and the public alike. Employing a blend of narrative and analytical styles, Campbell deftly weaves together historical accounts, personal letters, and contemporary sources to provide a comprehensive view of Mary's tumultuous reign, her political machinations, and the societal norms of 16th-century Europe. This work situates Mary not merely as a tragic figure but as a political player whose decisions had profound implications for Scotland and England, revealing the complex interplay of gender, power, and identity in her historical context. C. A. Campbell's scholarly background in medieval and Renaissance history informs her examination of this pivotal figure. Drawing upon extensive archival research and a rich tapestry of historical scholarship, Campbell brings to light both familiar and lesser-known aspects of Mary's life, including her relationships, rivalries, and the often-misunderstood motivations behind her actions. Her passion for uncovering the intricacies of female power dynamics in history is evident in this profound analysis. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in history, gender studies, or the intricacies of monarchy. Campbell's insightful interpretation and engaging prose make "Mary Queen of Scots in History" an essential read for both scholars and general audiences eager to understand the complexities of one of history's most fascinating figures.

    Park Cruising - What Happens...

    An intimate look at one of culture's most enduring taboos: public sex. 
     
     
     
    Park Cruising takes a long look at the men who cruise for sex in urban parks. Human rights lawyer Marcus McCann uses park cruising as a point of departure for discussions of consent, empathy, public health, municipal planning, and our relationship to strangers. Prompted by his work opposing a police sting in a suburban park, McCann's ruminations go beyond targeted enforcement and police indifference to violence to examine cruising as a type of world-building. 
     
     
     
    The result is a series of insightful and poetic walks through history, law, literature, and popular representations of cruising in search of the social value of sex. What McCann ultimately reveals is a world of connection, care, and unexpected lessons about the value of pleasure. 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.

    The Gilded Age and the dawn of the 20th century are often remembered as an era full of monopolies, trusts, and economic giants in heavy industries like oil and steel. Men like Andrew Carnegie built empires like Carnegie Steel, and financiers like J.P. Morgan merged and consolidated them. The era also made names like Astor, Cooke, and Vanderbilt instantly recognizable across the globe. Over time, the unfathomable wealth generated by the businesses made the individuals on top incredibly rich, and that in turn led to immense criticism and an infamous epithet used to rail against them: robber barons.  
    	Dozens of men were called “robber barons”, and the industrial might wielded by some of these men in the late 19th century directly led to a public backlash and made President Teddy Roosevelt the “trust buster”, and there has since been countless regulations to attempt to avoid the types of monopolies found over 100 years ago. However, many 20th century historians and writers pushed back against the allegations hurled at the “robber barons” and even took issue with the name. Libertarian writer John Stossel argued, “They weren't robbers, because they didn't steal from anyone, and they weren't barons - they were born poor...” Ironically, one of America’s most famous robber barons, Andrew Carnegie, epitomized the American Dream, migrating with his poor family to America in the mid-19th century and rising to the top of the business world in his adopted country. And like Carnegie, railroad tycoon Cornelius Vanderbilt set a precedent of sorts with his philanthropy, most notably his gift to Vanderbilt University, which bears his name. Similarly, the West Coast's most famous railroad mogul became Leland Stanford, who also bequeathed a prestigious university after making it to the top of the industry.
