Sinopse

In "Salem Witchcraft (Vol. 1&2)," Charles Wentworth Upham meticulously examines the infamous Salem witch trials of 1692, employing a narrative style that seamlessly intertwines historical analysis with vivid storytelling. Upham delves into the socio-political landscape of early New England, scrutinizing the interconnections between Puritan beliefs, societal fears, and the mechanisms of hysteria that led to the tragic persecution of supposed witches. With extensive archival research, Upham presents a detailed account of the events, profiles of key figures, and the legal proceedings that culminated in one of America's darkest chapters, thus contributing significantly to American historical literature of the mid-19th century. As a prominent historian and politician in 19th-century America, Upham's own upbringing in Puritan Massachusetts profoundly influenced his perspective on the witch trials. His engagement with the evolving moral and social implications of the trials, coupled with a commitment to uncovering the truth, reflect not only his scholarly rigor but also a deep empathy for the victims of these historical injustices. Upham's extensive research, bolstered by a keen analytical lens, offers modern readers insights into both the period and human nature. Recommended for historians, literature enthusiasts, and anyone captivated by the complexities of human behavior, "Salem Witchcraft" serves as an essential resource that enriches our understanding of this seminal event. Upham's work stands as a compelling exploration of fear, injustice, and the fragile nature of societal progress, prompting readers to reflect on the echoes of such historical events in contemporary discourse.

    Full of amusement, this series of fictional tales starts with a Galwayman’s arrival in Tipperary’s post-famine days and portrays the daily lives of a hillside community.  
    Written in the colloquial and lyrical language of some of our ancestors, it tells – amongst others – such diverse stories as the reliance of families on children rabbit-poaching, on the pre-dawn cattle-droving days of a young school-leaver, the re-appearance of a dead girl to her newly-born sister… along with a number of love-hate incidents, like the townie scorn for a mountainy man at the show-fair, before he walks off with the big trophy!

    A concise, accessible overview of pragmatism, the most influential school of American philosophical thought. 
     
     
     
    Pragmatism, America's homegrown philosophy, has been a major intellectual movement for over a century. Unlike its rivals, it reaches well beyond the confines of philosophy into concerns and disciplines as diverse as religion, politics, science, and culture. In this concise, engagingly written overview, John R. Shook describes pragmatism's origins, concepts, and continuing global relevance and appeal. With attention to the movement's original thinkers—Charles Sanders Peirce, William James, John Dewey, and George Herbert Mead—as well as its contemporary proponents, he explains how pragmatism thinks about what is real, what can be known, and what minds are doing. And because of pragmatism's far-reaching impact, Shook shows how its views on reality, truth, knowledge, and cognition coordinate with its approaches to agency, sociality, human nature, and personhood.

    “By far the most thorough and well-written investigative book on RMS Titanic’s short life and tragic sinking that this reviewer has read . . . fascinating.” —Choice Reviews   The sinking of the Titanic on her maiden voyage in April 1912 was one of the defining moments of the twentieth century. Books and films about the disaster that befell the iconic liner are commonplace, and it seems almost inconceivable that anything fresh can emerge. But there is one angle that has not been covered, and Titanic examines the events of April 1912 from that completely new perspective. John Lang brings the standards of a twenty-first-century accident investigation to bear on the events of April 1912, using his expertise and his investigator’s instinct to determine exactly what happened a century ago, and what important lessons still need to be learned.  “A fascinating account . . . this book looks at the facts from a new perspective and uncovers some unexpected findings. A worthwhile read.” —Royal Naval Sailing Association  “Provides genuine insight into what almost certainly happened before, during and after the ice sliced through the five compartments on the liner’s starboard bow.” —Viewpoint  “Lang, with his experience of marine accident investigation has found an angle in examining events of April 1912 from the perspective of an MAIB officer. His analysis is supported by detailed background material enabling the reader to understand the events of the collision and sinking more fully as he brings the standards of a 21st century investigation to bear on the events in determining exactly what happened and why.” —Flash
