Summary

In "Early French Prisons," Arthur Griffiths offers a meticulous exploration of the history, architecture, and philosophy surrounding penitentiary systems in France from their inception to the early modern era. Griffiths employs a scholarly narrative style, rich in detail yet accessible, weaving together historical accounts, architectural analysis, and sociological insight. His examination situates French penal practices within the broader context of European criminal justice, addressing the societal implications of confinement and discipline during pivotal moments such as the French Revolution and the establishment of modern statehood. Arthur Griffiths, a prominent Victorian-era criminologist and historian, was deeply influenced by the contemporary debates on prison reform and rehabilitation. His extensive research and personal observations of prisons informed his empathic perspective on the human condition and the complexities of justice. The cultural and political milieu of his time, coupled with his own advocacy for humane treatment of offenders, shaped his insights, making "Early French Prisons" not only a historical document but also a reflective commentary on morality and society. This work is highly recommended for scholars, students, and general readers interested in criminology, history, and social reform. Griffiths's thoughtful analysis not only illuminates the evolution of penal systems but also encourages critical reflection on contemporary justice practices, making it a relevant and enlightening read.

    What We Owe the Future

    An Oxford philosopher makes the case for “longtermism”—that positively influencing the long-term future is a key moral priority of our time 
 
The fate of the world is in our hands. Humanity’s written history spans only five thousand years. Our yet-unwritten future could last for millions more—or it could end tomorrow. Astonishing numbers of people could lead lives of great happiness or unimaginable suffering, or never live at all, depending on what we choose to do today. 
  
In What We Owe The Future, philosopher William MacAskill argues for longtermism, that idea that positively influencing the distant future is a key moral priority of our time. From this perspective, it’s not enough to reverse climate change or avert the next pandemic. We must ensure that civilization would rebound if it collapsed; counter the end of moral progress; and prepare for a planet where the smartest beings are digital, not human. 
  
If we put humanity’s course to right, our grandchildren’s grandchildren will thrive, knowing we did everything we could to give them a world full of justice, hope, and beauty.

    5 Biggest Civil War Battles The:...

    Americans have long been fascinated by the Civil War, marveling at the size of the battles, the leadership of the generals, and the courage of the soldiers. Since the war's start over 150 years ago, the battles have been subjected to endless debate among historians and the generals themselves. 
By 1863, the Civil War had reached a level of ferocity not yet seen, and the 5 biggest battles would take place in 1863-1864, starting with Chancellorsville. Of all the Civil War battles fought, and of all the victories achieved by Robert E. Lee at the command of the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia, the Battle of Chancellorsville is considered the most tactically complex and ultimately the most brilliant Confederate victory of the war. Despite being outnumbered by over 2-1, Lee's army won a battle that saw 30,000 casualties inflicted upon the two sides. 
Less than 2 months later, the Army of the Potomac and Army of Northern Virginia faced off in the most famous and biggest battle of the war at Gettysburg. Day 1 of the battle would have been one of the 25 biggest battles of the Civil War itself, and it ended with a tactical Confederate victory. But over the next two days, Lee would try and fail to dislodge the Union army with attacks on both of its flanks during the second day and Pickett’s Charge on the third and final day. Meade’s stout defense held, barely, repulsing each attempted assault, handing the Union a desperately needed victory that ended up being one of the Civil War’s turning points. 
The second bloodiest battle of the Civil War came in September 1863 at Chickamauga, which saw George H. Thomas save the Union Army of the Cumberland from a disaster on the second day of the battle after a Union blunder had created a gap in the line. After nearly 35,000 casualties suffered by the two sides, Thomas prevented the destruction of the Union army by Braxton Bragg's Army of Tennessee.

    The Quilt of Hope holds the threads of unlived lives and joins them together to reveal a dark history in the Catholic Diocese of Ballarat. 
During a time when unfathomable and gruesome truths were told, the constant denial and dismissal of claims of child sexual abuse brought together a small group of parishioners. The Quilt of Hope was created to reach out to people and provide a canvas for their voices to finally be heard. 
This is an inspirational story of people who chose to stand up in the face of evil and work together to challenge the collective silence of the Catholic Church and the wider Catholic community. 
Adrianne Moloney is the daughter of Carmel Moloney, a founding member of MTJ (Moving Towards Justice). She was inspired to compile this book to honour the voices behind the quilt and provide a vehicle for these stories to be shared. 
Adrianne holds a Masters in Sociology and Anthropology and a Masters in International Community Development. She grew up in Ballarat and attended local Catholic schools.
