Beschreibung

Edward Gibbon's monumental work, "The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire," spans six volumes and meticulously chronicles the complex socio-political dynamics that led to the disintegration of one of history's greatest empires. Gibbon employs an eloquent and sophisticated literary style, interweaving narrative history with incisive analysis while incorporating vast historical sources. Set against the backdrop of 18th-century historiographical developments, the work embodies the Enlightenment ideals of reason and inquiry, as Gibbon critically examines the interplay of moral and societal decay amidst rising barbarian influences and the transformative impacts of early Christianity. Gibbon, a British historian and Member of Parliament, drew upon his classical education and extensive travels throughout Europe to provide both depth and nuance to his historical narratives. The book reflects his fascination with the causes of empire, as well as his personal belief in reason and skepticism towards dogmatic religion. Gibbon's experiences and intellectual pursuits, including his controversial views on Christianity's role in the empire's demise, are palpable throughout this ambitious investigation. Readers looking for a profound understanding of the mechanisms behind the rise and fall of civilizations will find in Gibbon's work an indispensable resource. His blend of engaging prose and rigorous scholarship makes this history not only informative but also a compelling read, appealing to both historians and general readers alike. "The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire" is a cornerstone of Western historical literature that remains relevant and provocative today.

    The more you understand someone's history, the better you can see their humanity. This is true for individuals as well as for society at large. Race relations have suffered because of the erasure of important Black history and cultural context. As we fill in the gaps of our collective knowledge, communities can grow in understanding, empathy, and solidarity. 
     
     
     
    Terence Lester shares the buried history of the struggles Black people have faced against unjust systems. He tells powerful stories of courage, injustice, pain, and triumph, including ones from his own history. He also unpacks the sociological and cultural dynamics of unconscious bias and inattentional ignorance that keep us apart, and how they can be overcome. This honest account of what it's like to be Black in America paves the way for the church to move beyond showing support from a distance toward loving one another in long-term solidarity, advocacy, and friendship.

    From Empire to Revolution is the first biography devoted to an in-depth examination of the life and conflicted career of Sir James Wright (1716–1785). Greg Brooking uses Wright's life as a means to better understand the complex struggle for power in both colonial Georgia and the larger British Empire. 
     
     
     
    James Wright lived a transatlantic life, taking advantage of every imperial opportunity afforded him. He earned numerous important government posts and amassed an incredible fortune. An England-born grandson of Sir Robert Wright, James Wright was raised in Charleston, South Carolina, following his father's appointment as the chief justice of that colony. Young James served South Carolina in a number of capacities, public and ecclesiastical, prior to his admittance to London's famed Gray's Inn to study law. Most notably, he was appointed South Carolina's attorney general and colonial agent to London prior to becoming the governor of Georgia in 1761. 
     
     
     
    Wright's long imperial career delicately balanced dual loyalties to Crown and colony and offers a new perspective on loyalism and the American Revolution. Through this lens, Greg Brooking connects several important contexts in recent early American and British scholarship, including imperial and Atlantic history, Indigenous borderlands, race and slavery, and popular politics.

    “Porter has unearthed a radically new history of human genetics, one that evokes not the double helix but the humble filing cabinet.” —Emily M. Kern, ScienceIn the early 1800s, a century before there was any concept of the gene, physicians in insane asylums began to record causes of madness in their admission books. Almost from the beginning, they pointed to heredity as the most important of these causes. As doctors and state officials steadily lost faith in the capacity of asylum care to stem the terrible increase of insanity, they began emphasizing the need to curb the reproduction of the insane. They became obsessed with identifying weak or tainted families and anticipating the outcomes of their marriages. Genetics in the Madhouse is the untold story of how the collection and sorting of hereditary data in mental hospitals, schools for “feebleminded” children, and prisons gave rise to a new science of human heredity.In this compelling book, Theodore Porter draws on untapped archival evidence from across Europe and North America to bring to light the hidden history behind modern genetics. He looks at the institutional use of pedigree charts, censuses of mental illness, medical-social surveys, and other data techniques—innovative quantitative practices that were worked out in the madhouse long before the manipulation of DNA became possible in the lab. Porter argues that asylum doctors developed many of the ideologies and methods of what would come to be known as eugenics, and deepens our appreciation of the moral issues at stake in data work conducted on the border of subjectivity and science.
