Summary

In "Social Environment and Moral Progress," Alfred Russel Wallace presents a compelling investigation into the interplay between societal conditions and ethical development. The text is framed within the broader context of his contemporaneous debates on evolution and morality, integrating scientific inquiry with social theory. Wallace employs a rational and analytical literary style, effectively weaving empirical evidence with philosophical reflection, urging readers to recognize the influence of environmental factors on moral behavior. The book is an illuminating examination of how social progress can catalyze moral advancement, a theme that resonates strongly in the socio-political climate of Wallace'Äôs time, marked by industrialization and social reform movements. Alfred Russel Wallace, best known for his contributions to the theory of evolution, brings a multidisciplinary approach to this work, reflecting his deep interest in both natural science and social issues. His extensive travels and observations of diverse cultures sharpened his understanding of human societies, prompting him to explore how different social environments shape moral frameworks. Wallace's commitment to advancing social justice and the welfare of humanity permeates this book, showcasing his belief in the potential for moral evolution aligned with societal improvements. I highly recommend "Social Environment and Moral Progress" to readers interested in the intersection of ethics and social science. Wallace's insightful thesis not only offers a historical perspective on moral philosophy but also provokes contemporary reflections on how our environments influence our ethics. This book is a vital contribution for anyone seeking to understand the foundations of moral progress amid evolving social contexts.

    Have you ever wondered why some people have a "golden touch", while others are constantly haunted by bad luck? If you count yourself in the first category, congratulations! You're already adept at creating conscious manifestations. In this case, the techniques in this Manifestation Book will help you fulfill (even) greater desires. Often, however, reality unfolds differently: You struggle and invest incredible effort to achieve your goals. But just when things appear to be improving, the next defeat, obstacle, or setback emerges. It feels like for every two steps forward, you're thrown three steps back. 
Author & Master of Manifestation, Neville Goddard, distilled the Law of Assumption (often regarded as the true Law of Attraction) and the Hermetic Laws to their core principles, achieving unparalleled success in manifesting. This success was not just personal but also extended to the thousands of students who mastered the art of manifestation through his teachings. Among his apprentices was Elmer O. Locker Jr. Elmer's grandson, David, has further enriched this Manifestation Book with many of his own experiences in manifestation. If you wish to harness the power of your consciousness (conscious and subconscious mind) to realize your desires, don't hesitate. Dive into the techniques & instructions provided in this book for manifesting.

    The Tensaw River introduces one of the American South's richest and most fertile natural features. Author Mike Bunn is director of Historic Blakeley State Park, which is nestled in a prominent bend of the majestic Tensaw River. 
 
 
 
Forming the eastern boundary of the expansive Mobile-Tensaw Delta, the Tensaw has had little industrial development. Left largely undisturbed, the river flows free and bountiful into the grand estuary of Mobile Bay in ways that would be recognizable to Native Americans centuries ago and to pioneers who arrived before Alabama became a state. 
 
 
 
Bunn's unforgettable stories in The Tensaw River trace the construction and occupation of the Bottle Creek site, an important mound complex built by Southeastern Native Americans a millennia ago. Nearby Blakeley is an antebellum ghost town whose lost memories tease the imagination. During the Civil War, the boom of artillery fire in the battle that sealed the fate of the city of Mobile echoed along the bends in the Tensaw. 
 
 
 
Located near popular travel destinations, the Tensaw's "Forgotten Cultural Heritage Corridor" is a gateway to the enchanting beauty of—and humankind's relationship to—the landscape of the American South.

    If when you think "Florida" you don't think "spectacular," Cathy Salustri is determined to change your mind. Explaining why the state is more than the "Florida Man" stories and the politics that so often make national news, and looking beyond the crowded beaches and theme parks, Salustri celebrates what makes the state worth a deeper understanding in this lively trip through its natural beauty and fascinating history. 
 
 
 
Florida Spectacular lifts the curtain on multiple facets, including the legacy of Zora Neale Hurston and the Black community at Eatonville; the bravery of Emateloye Estenletkvte, a Seminole woman who escaped from captivity back to her homeland; the two "frenemy" Henrys, Flagler and Plant, and their projects in transportation and tourism; the three "Marjories," the influential environmentalists and writers; and people working to solve issues facing the state today, such as those who have used Florida's hurricanes to make storm forecasting better for the whole world. 
 
 
 
Along the way, Salustri brings to light lesser-known moments from Florida's history that help illuminate the state's significance in American and world history. Salustri tours listeners through the hidden-in-plain-sight Florida, the overlooked treasures, the cultural complexities, the environmental challenges and successes.

    From the New York Times best-selling author of The Private Lives of the Impressionists comes the first account of the women who loved Picasso―and who shaped his work far more than previously acknowledged. 
 
Fernande Olivier, Olga Khokhlova, Marie-Thérèse Walter, Dora Maar, Françoise Gilot, and Jacqueline Roque. These six extraordinary women shared Pablo Picasso’s life and were instrumental in his career, yet they have long been dismissed as simply passive models or muses. 
 
In Hidden Portraits, acclaimed author Sue Roe reveals that their lives were―without exception―remarkable. They each pursued their own ambitions in dance, writing, painting, and more. All six overcame significant challenges, including Picasso’s subterfuges and betrayals as well as the wider social turbulence of their time. In bringing them to vivid life, Roe traces the extent to which each influenced Picasso’s work, from his sketches to masterpieces like Guernica. Spanning seventy years, from bohemian early-twentieth-century Montmartre to the glittering Riviera in the 1920s, and from Paris under Nazi occupation to Picasso’s death, and beyond, Hidden Portraits reclaims a set of brilliant women and in the process rewrites a vital chapter in the history of modern art.
