The History of England (Vol 1-6) - Illustrated Edition

David Hume

Sinopsis

David Hume's "The History of England" spans six comprehensive volumes that meticulously chronicle the development of English history from the invasion of Julius Caesar until the Glorious Revolution of 1688. Hume's narrative integrates a blend of meticulous historical detail with philosophical insights, employing a prose style that is both accessible and engaging. His work breaks away from the antiquated annals of historical writing by offering a more analytical approach, weaving together political, social, and cultural narratives that illuminate the interplay of events and characters, reflecting the Enlightenment ideals that defined his era. David Hume (1711-1776) was a key figure of the Scottish Enlightenment, known for his philosophical inquiries and skepticism about human understanding. His wide-ranging intellectual interests, including economics, religion, and human nature, significantly influenced his historical writing. Hume's intention was to provide a comprehensive and rational account of England'Äôs past, presenting it as a reflection of larger human experiences and moral lessons. This scholarly work is essential for readers seeking a deeper understanding of English history, as well as for those interested in the evolution of historical writing itself. It serves as both a historical reference and a philosophical exploration, making it a valuable addition to any library.

Image Bearers - Shifting from...

Herbie Newell

Being pro-life means that not only do we see abortion as a murder, but we also see our apathy against injustice toward outside of the womb as a coconspirator in the fight for life. It means that we fight for racial equality. It means that we love the woman walking into the abortion clinic passionately with the love of Christ, and it means we embrace life no matter what label may be attached to a person's identity. There are many books written about being pro-life, the pro-life and right-to-life movement,and combating abortion arguments, but my hope is this small volume will bring awareness that the pro-life movement ethic is so much bigger in presenting a case for life than just being pro-birth.

Healing Grounds - Climate...

Liz Carlisle

A powerful movement is happening in farming—farmers are reconnecting with their roots to fight climate change. 
 
 
 
In Healing Grounds, Liz Carlisle tells the stories of Indigenous, Black, Latinx, and Asian American farmers who are reviving their ancestors' methods of growing food—techniques long suppressed by the industrial food system. These farmers are restoring native prairies, nurturing beneficial fungi, and enriching soil health. While feeding their communities and revitalizing cultural ties to land, they are steadily stitching ecosystems back together and repairing the natural carbon cycle. This is the true regenerative agriculture—not merely a set of technical tricks for storing CO2 in the ground, but a holistic approach that values diversity in both plants and people. 
 
 
  
Cultivating this kind of regenerative farming will require reckoning with our nation's agricultural history—a history marked by discrimination and displacement. And it will ultimately require dismantling power structures that have blocked many farmers of color from owning land or building wealth. 
 
 
 
By coming together to restore these farmlands, we can not only heal our planet, we can heal our communities.

The Shortest History of Democracy

John Keane

'DEMOCRACY HAS A LONG, EVENTFUL PAST. DOES IT HAVE A FUTURE?The roots of democracy stretch back beyond Athens to Syria- Mesopotamia and the Indian subcontinent, where citizens' assemblies held privilege and power to account over 3,000 years before the French Revolution. In this timely and illuminating new global history, John Keane ('one of the world's leading political thinkers' ,The Times) gets to the heart of a complex, ever-evolving ideal.Today, American-style democracy may appear to be in decline, but Keane shows that this isn't the whole story. In many places, such as Taiwan and Senegal, India and South Africa, distinctly local varieties are coming into being. Yet it's impossible to ignore the proliferation of populist strongmen on every continent: the Putins and the Bolsonaros, the Trumps and Lukashenkos. Is democracy past its sell-by date, as they would have us believe? Or is it time to embrace the true, radical potential of an ancient idea?
