Synopsis

For preventing the children of poor people in Ireland, from being a burden on their parents or country, and for making them beneficial to the publick

The book you are referring to is actually an essay titled "A Modest Proposal" written by Jonathan Swift. It was first published anonymously in 1729. The essay is a satirical work in which Swift suggests that the impoverished Irish should sell their children as food to the rich in order to alleviate their economic troubles. The proposal is meant to criticize the British government's harsh economic policies towards Ireland and highlight the plight of the poor in the country. "A Modest Proposal" is considered a classic work of English literature and a prime example of political satire. It has been widely studied and analyzed for its dark humor and social commentary.

    The Cold Equations - No Margin...

    The frontier of space is governed by rules that do not bend for hope, youth, or good intentions. In The Cold Equations, an Emergency Dispatch Ship races to deliver life-saving serum to a dying survey team on a distant world. Every calculation has already been made. Every variable accounted for. Or so it seems. 
    When an unexpected presence is discovered aboard the ship, the pilot realizes that survival is no longer a matter of heroism or mercy. The laws that govern space travel are exact, and they allow no appeals. What follows is a deeply personal confrontation between compassion and necessity, told with quiet restraint and relentless logic. 
    Tom Godwin was a mid-century science fiction writer best known for his stark, uncompromising portrayals of humanity facing the realities of an unforgiving universe. His work often rejected comforting illusions in favor of hard limits imposed by physics, environment, and consequence. 
    Published in 1954, The Cold Equations became one of the most discussed science fiction stories of its era. It sparked decades of debate about ethics, realism, and whether science fiction should comfort or confront its audience. Godwin’s legacy endures because his stories refuse easy answers and trust readers to wrestle with them.
