Sinossi

In "Phineas Finn," Anthony Trollope crafts a masterful exploration of political ambition within the context of 19th-century British society. The novel follows the eponymous character, an Irishman with dreams of advancing in Parliament, as he navigates the complexities of politics, relationships, and personal integrity. Trollope's narrative style is characterized by incisive social commentary and a keen psychological understanding of his characters, enabling readers to perceive the intricate interplay between personal aspirations and societal expectations. The book is both a vivid depiction of parliamentary life and an astute critique of the class disparities inherent in the contemporary political landscape. Anthony Trollope, one of the most prolific novelists of his time, brings his personal experiences in the British postal service and his keen observations of the political arena to this work. His familiarity with the inner workings of Parliament, coupled with a profound empathy for his characters, informs the rich and relatable struggles faced by Phineas Finn. Trollope's own political engagements and a nuanced understanding of the societal constraints of his era fuel the narrative's depth and authenticity. "Phineas Finn" is a compelling read for those interested in the intersections of politics, identity, and morality. Its themes remain relevant today, providing modern readers with insight into the timeless dilemmas of ambition and ethics in public life. Ideal for both literary scholars and casual readers, Trollope's novel invites reflection on the nature of power and the sacrifices made in its pursuit.

Part 1: Some Self-Evident Truths. 
Part 2: Faith and Science. 
Part 3: God Revealed.

Sources of the River - Tracking...

Jack Nisbet

The awe-inspiring story of explorer David Thompson, whose expeditions helped shape western North America 
 
 
 
In this true story of adventure, author Jack Nisbet recreates the life and times of David Thompson—fur trader, explorer, surveyor, and mapmaker. From 1784 to 1812, Thompson explored western North America, and his field journals provide the earliest written accounts of the natural history and indigenous cultures of the what is now British Columbia, Alberta, Montana, Idaho, Washington, and Oregon. Thompson was the first person to chart the entire route of the Columbia river, and his wilderness expeditions have become the stuff of legend. 
 
 
 
Jack Nisbet tracks the explorer across the continent, interweaving his own observations with Thompson's historical writings. The result is a fascinating story of two men discovering the Northwest territory almost two hundred years apart.

Mengele And Nazi Doctors During...

Joshua Itzkowitz

The experiments conducted during World War II provide some of the most extreme examples of human rights and ethics breaches the world has so far seen. There is no benefit in considering the Nazi experiments as “other” or irrelevant. The greatest good that can come from these atrocities is the lessons they have to teach about what plays into and creates a hostile research environment. Before the rise of Hitler and the Nazi party, Germany was at the forefront of medical research and ethics.The rise of the National Socialist movement led to a moral decline in physicians’ perception of their professional identity.This was reinforced by concepts like “lives not worth living,” which were often repeated in Nazi propaganda and played a central role in justifying the atrocities committed under the Nazi regime.The Nazi era in general, and the behavior of Nazi doctors in particular, show that despite a general historical progression toward greater humanity, egregious regressions and moral backsliding have occurred.
