Summary

In "The Last Journals of David Livingstone, in Central Africa, from 1865 to His Death, Volume I," Livingstone'Äôs meticulous observations provide a profound insight into the sociopolitical landscape of Central Africa during the late 19th century. Crafted in an epistolary style, this collection captures Livingstone'Äôs unyielding spirit and his unwavering commitment to explore uncharted territories even in the face of dire circumstances. The narrative reflects not only his scientific inquiries and geographic discoveries but also poignant reflections on the impact of colonialism and the human condition, illustrating his dual role as both a scientist and a compassionate advocate for the African people. David Livingstone was a Scottish missionary and explorer whose life was marked by devotion to both God and the exploration of Africa'Äôs interior. His experiences navigating through treacherous terrains and encountering diverse cultures undoubtedly informed the observations in his journals. Livingstone'Äôs tireless mission to abolish slavery and promote trade, coupled with his deep faith, motivated his scholarly pursuits and ultimately shaped the narrative of his later journals leading up to his death in 1873. This volume is an invaluable resource for scholars, historians, and readers interested in African history and exploration. It not only serves as a testament to Livingstone'Äôs heroism but also opens a window into the complexity of a continent on the brink of transformation. Readers are invited to delve into Livingstone'Äôs thoughts and experiences that challenge our understanding of exploration in the context of 19th-century imperialism.

    For too long, Native American people in the United States have been stereotyped as vestiges of the past, invisible citizens in their own land obliged to remind others, "We are still here!" Yet today, Native leaders are at the center of social change, challenging philanthropic organizations that have historically excluded Native people, and fighting for economic and environmental justice. 
 
 
 
Invisible No More is a collection of stories by Native American leaders, many of them women, who are leading the way through cultural grounding and nation-building in the areas of community, environmental justice, and economic justice. Authors in the collection come from over a dozen Native nations. While telling their stories, authors excavate the history and ongoing effects of genocide and colonialism. At the same time, the authors detail ways that listeners might imagine the world differently, presenting stories of Native community building that offer benefits for all. 
 
 
 
In a world facing a mounting climate crisis and record economic inequality, Invisible No More exposes the deep wounds of a racist past while offering a powerful call to care for one another and the planet. Indigenous communities have much to offer, not the least of which are solutions gleaned from cultural knowledge developed over generations.

    In their search for truth and happiness, the classical philosophers overlooked one of the most important facets of our lives—sexuality. The author rectifies this error by questioning this field of knowledge and practice: What is "good" coitus? What is a "nice" ass? What is a "legal" sexual act? What is universally "true" in sexuality? Who is "perverse?" Does sex represent a momentary pleasure, or could it embody a foundation for happiness? Using concrete examples, Sylvain Bosselet deconstructs the preconceptions that hinder our freedom and hinder sexual happiness. He seeks to lay the foundations for a philosophy of sex.
