Synopsis

The Salem witch trials were a series of hearings and prosecutions of people accused of witchcraft in colonial Massachusetts between February 1692 and May 1693. The trials resulted in the executions of twenty people, fourteen of them women, and all but one by hanging. This two-volume edition gives an account of Salem village and a history of opinions on witchcraft and kindred subjects. The first volume of this book contains what seems to be necessary to prepare the reader for the second, in which the incidents and circumstances connected with the witchcraft prosecutions in 1692, at the village and in the town of Salem, are reduced to chronological order, and exhibited in detail. Contents:   Map and Illustrations  Index to the Map  Town of Salem Grants Farms Salem Village  Witchcraft  Witchcraft at Salem Village  Prefatory Address Deodat Lawson's Narrative Letter From R.P. To Jonathan Corwin Extracts From Mr. Parris's Church Records

    Voices of Dissent - An Essay...

    Written by one of India's best-known public intellectuals, this book is essential reading for anyone interested in India's fascinating history as well as the direction in which the nation is headed.
    
    People have argued since time immemorial. Disagreement is a part of life, of human experience. But we now live in times when any form of protest in India is marked as anti-Indian and met with arguments that the very concept of dissent was imported into India from the West. As Romila Thapar explores in her timely historical essay, however, dissent has a long history in the subcontinent, even if its forms have evolved through the centuries.
     
    In Voices of Dissent: An Essay, Thapar looks at the articulation of nonviolent dissent and relates it to various pivotal moments throughout India's history. Beginning with Vedic times, she takes us from the second to the first millennium BCE, to the emergence of groups that were jointly called the Shramanas-the Jainas, Buddhists, and Ajivikas. Going forward in time, she also explores the views of the Bhakti sants and others of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries and brings us to a major moment of dissent that helped to establish a free and democratic India: Mahatma Gandhi's satyagraha. Then Thapar places in context the recent peaceful protests against India's new, controversial citizenship law, maintaining that dissent in our time must be opposed to injustice and supportive of democratic rights so that society may change for the better.

    What if everything you thought you knew about God... was incomplete? 
    Go on a journey beyond the boundaries of traditional religion into a thrilling investigation that uncovers a divine truth long buried by the sands of time—and perhaps deliberately hidden by those in power. From ancient scrolls and forbidden texts to encrypted messages hidden in plain sight, this groundbreaking book uncovers the true name of God—an identity too powerful, too revealing, and too dangerous for the world to know. 
    But why the secrecy? 
    Digging deep into historical records and classified documents, this book connects the dots between theology, ancient prophecy, and modern political agendas. Discover how the U.S. government—under the guise of national security—may be part of a much larger, darker plan to suppress spiritual awakening and control the masses. 
    Is this conspiracy theory… or divine truth? 
    This book is not just a revelation. It’s a warning—and a call to those seeking real answers in an age of deception. 
    *Perfect for readers of religious mystery thrillers, and spiritual truth seekers 
    *Packed with gripping research, jaw-dropping connections, and bold revelations 
    *Prepare to question everything—and discover what was meant to be known all along! 
    Unlock the SECRET. Speak the NAME. Expose the AGENDA!

    He sure had a funny name. And what’s so strange, is that during most of the biggest events in Cambodia, he wasn’t really there. It seems like he was some big orchestrator hiding behind the curtains and silently directing officers to make it all happen. The Cambodia genocide that killed an estimated 2 million of their own citizens has been partially attributed to this maniac. 
    Pol Pot was a Cambodian political leader and revolutionary who worked as Prime Minister of Democratic Kampuchea from 1975 till 1979. He was a key member of Cambodia's communist company, the Khmer Rouge, from 1963 to 1997, and acted as the General Secretary of the Communist Party of Kampuchea from 1963 to 1981. He was a Marxist-- Leninist and a Khmer nationalist. Cambodia was changed into a one-party communist state under his management, and the Cambodian genocide happened.
