Beschreibung

In "The History of Slavery," Adam Gurowski offers a comprehensive examination of one of humanity's most enduring and tragic institutions. Employing a meticulously researched approach, Gurowski delves into the origins, evolution, and multifaceted impacts of slavery across various cultures and epochs. His literary style is characterized by a blend of compelling narrative and analytical rigor, making complex historical and sociopolitical themes accessible to a broad readership. This work is situated within a broader context of abolitionist literature in the 19th century, reflecting the moral and ethical debates that accompanied the institution of slavery and its eventual dismantlement. Adam Gurowski, a Polish-born √©migr√© and intellectual, was deeply influenced by the turbulent European political climate and the abolitionist movements in the United States. His own experiences with oppression and his passionate advocacy for freedom led him to confront the stark realities of slavery in his writings. Gurowski'Äôs background as a statesman and his keen interest in social justice transformed him into a knowledgeable critic of the institution, allowing him to present a nuanced perspective on slavery'Äôs legacy. This book is a vital read for anyone seeking to understand the historical complexities of slavery and its ramifications for contemporary society. Gurowski's poignant insights and scholarly rigor make this work essential for historians, students, and general readers alike. "The History of Slavery" not only illuminates a dark chapter in human history but also invites critical reflection on the ongoing consequences of these enduring issues.

Farnsworth's Classical English...

Ward Farnsworth

Learn how to argue from the masters. This book is a complete course on the art of argument, taught by the greatest practitioners of it: Churchill, Lincoln, and hundreds of others from the golden age of debate in England and America. 
 
 
 
The book's concise chapters provide lessons in all aspects of give and take—the syllogism and the slippery slope, the argumentum ad hominem and reductio ad absurdum, the fallacy and the insult. Ward Farnsworth shows how the full range of such techniques can be used or repelled, and brings them to life with examples that are fascinating and instructive. 
 
 
 
The result is a must-listen reference that will leave you better able to win arguments and to defend yourself under fire. It's also an entertaining reminder that argument can be a source of beauty and delight. As Farnsworth says of the examples, they show talented advocates "crossing analytical swords and exchanging abuse when those things were done with more talent and dignity than is common today. They made argument a spectator sport of lasting value and interest."

Bridgebuilders - How Government...

William D. Eggers, Donald F. Kettl

Our government is in crisis, mired in bureaucracy and often unable to fix tough problems. This book provides an essential new model for transforming the system and getting things done. 
 
 
 
COVID. Climate change. Refugee resettlement. Global supply chains. We're facing a new generation of complex problems, stretching across the public and private sectors. Historically we've looked to government for big solutions, but the reality is, the government we have now is a poor match for the problems we face. 
 
 
 
We need a fresh, new approach. As William D. Eggers and Donald F. Kettl show in this indispensable book, we need a government of bridgebuilders—public managers and leaders who collaborate with partners, both inside and outside government, to get the job done. They manage horizontally instead of vertically, they see their role as connectors, and they identify which players have the assets needed to solve the problems at hand. 
 
 
 
Each chapter examines one of the ten core principles of bridgebuilding and features practical tips and dynamic cases of how effective leaders have put each principle to work. Also included is a special section on creating a hundred-day bridgebuilding plan.
