Sinopse

In "Hell on Ice: The Saga of the 'Jeannette,'" Edward Ellsberg crafts a gripping narrative that chronicles the ill-fated Arctic expedition of the USS Jeannette. The book seamlessly intertwines personal accounts, meticulous research, and vivid descriptions of the treacherous polar landscape, revealing the harrowing struggle for survival amidst the unforgiving elements. Ellsberg employs a cinematic literary style, allowing readers to experience the freezing temperatures and dire circumstances alongside the crew, providing both suspense and intimacy. This work stands as a relevant historical account, reflecting the age of exploration and the human spirit's relentless quest for discovery despite overwhelming odds. Edward Ellsberg, a noted author and naval officer, drew upon his extensive experience with the sea and his passion for maritime history when writing "Hell on Ice." His understanding of the psychological and physical challenges faced by those at sea instills a profound authenticity in the narrative. Ellsberg's own connection with naval exploration and literature brings a unique perspective to the story, enriching the reader's understanding of the motivations behind the journey and its catastrophic end. This book is a must-read for enthusiasts of historical narratives and adventure tales alike. Ellsberg's riveting prose and deep insight into the human condition offer a compelling glimpse into a defining moment of exploration. "Hell on Ice" not only illuminates the dangers of the Arctic expeditions but also celebrates resilience and courage, making it an essential addition to any literary collection.

    Philosopher Kwame Anthony Appiah explores how early social scientists developed our modern understandings of society through their theories of religion The foundations of modern social science were built on the study of religion, the acclaimed thinker Kwame Anthony Appiah argues. Delving into the intellectual currents of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, he investigates how formative thinkers—notably Edward Burnett Tylor, Émile Durkheim, Georg Simmel, and Max Weber—grappled with the concepts of society and religion as interdependent categories. Appiah shows how their efforts to define religion, or evade the task, mark the power and limitations of social thought in ways that persist among theorists today. Religion was not an object of study but a framework through which early social scientists established sociology as a discipline. Appiah also examines recent work in both interpretive sociology and evolutionary and cognitive psychology about the mechanisms through which communities form beliefs and values—while underscoring the enduring significance of these earlier debates for contemporary social thought. Throughout, he intertwines storytelling, historical analysis, and philosophical reflection to show how our ideas about society and culture have been, and continue to be, forged in dialogue with religious questions.

    The Great Fire of London was a massive fire in the ominous year of 1666, which destroyed the homes of more than 80% of the city’s inhabitants, which was around 80,000 people back then. In this guide, we will go over how the fire most likely started, why it took such a toll on the London population, and why it kept growing without them being able to extinguish the flames in time. 
    You will also learn about how the city was built up, how other competing countries saw the fire as a good thing, and how Christopher Wren helped rebuild churches and houses when it was all over. 
    Last but not least, you will discover how something else was even more disturbing at this time: The Great Plague of London, a horrible scourge which is believed to have killed more than 100,000 people, struck with ills from rats and a lack of hygiene, around the same time. 
    Read about or listen to the horrors people in England were confronted with in the beginning of the 17th century.
