  H.P. Lovecraft (1890 - 1937) was an American horror fiction writer. Though he died in poverty and was only published in pulp magazines before his death, he is now regarded as one of the most significant 20th century authors in the genre. Lovecraft's most popular book is, perhaps, At the Mountains of Madness. He also wrote The Call of Cthulhu, along with many short stories and literary correspondences. In this rare recording, he is interviewed as part of a WPA project during the New Deal.

  The Spanish conquest of the Americas told through the men who made it: Ojeda and Nicuesa on the Spanish Main, Balboa and his first sight of the Pacific, the Pizarros in Peru and the ransom of the Inca, Cortés on the road to Tenochtitlan and his meeting with Montezuma — followed by other true tales of adventure, among them the wreck of the whaler Essex. Cyrus Townsend Brady was a clergyman and naval historian, and wrote these pieces for American readers who knew little of the subject. He is partial to a good charge, and frank about the cruelty of the men he admires.

  Crime and Civilization - The...

  In 1827 the first modern national crime statistics were published: the Compte général de l'administration de la justice criminelle en France. Before the onset of data criminology, the perception of crime relied on sources from classical antiquity, rational philosophical thought, travellers' observations, and unsystematic observations by criminal justice practitioners. With the new concept of national crime statistics, it became possible to test theories and hypotheses about crime using a shared data instrument, leading to an unprecedented avalanche of crime research by continental scholars. 
   
   
   
  Crime and Civilization: The Birth of Criminology in the Early Nineteenth Century explores the rise of data-based criminology as an intellectual field in continental Europe in the early nineteenth century. Janne Kivivuori creates a new interpretation of the era of "first criminology," one approached from the perspective of data and instruments, thus complementing the traditional story based on theories and explanatory shifts from "classicism" to "positivism" and beyond. Drawing on original French, German, and English publications, the book contextualizes the rise of criminology in wider cultural history, spanning from Enlightenment philosophers to the general rise of science in society.

  You say yes before you have even checked whether you mean it. You apologise for things that were never your fault, scan every room for signs someone is disappointed, and go home drained from being agreeable all day.
  
  Press play and you hear your own habits named for the first time. Each chapter opens with an everyday scene you will recognise, gives the people-pleasing pattern a plain name, explains the psychology behind it in simple language, and hands you one concrete script or reframe to try this week. You learn the difference between niceness that comes from fear of disapproval and kindness you give freely by choice, and you practise saying no without guilt in situations you actually face.
  
  By the final chapter you still care about people, but you no longer need every one of them to approve of you. Start with chapter one, and take the first script into your very next conversation.
