Down the Mackenzie and up the Yukon in 1906

Elihu Stewart

Synopsis

The area drained by the Mackenzie River is of vast extent, covering something over 450,000 square miles. Its principal tributaries flow from the west; they consist of the Athabaska, the Peace, the Liard and the Nahanni with many others of smaller size. To illustrate by comparison the size of the Mackenzie basin with that of some other streams, it is only necessary to say that the area of the St. Lawrence basin above the City of Montreal is about 310,000 square miles, while that of the Saskatchewan, including its two branches, is only 159,000 square miles; so that the Mackenzie basin exceeds that of the St. Lawrence above Montreal, including that of all the great lakes by 140,000 square miles, and is nearly three times as great in extent as the basin of the Saskatchewan, including both the north and south branches of that great river.

Daily Life in Rome - A Social...

Rogan Fish

The foundation of Roman society was built upon a complex hierarchy that influenced daily life, social interactions, and political structures. At its core, the Roman family served as the most fundamental unit, shaping personal identity, social standing, and economic stability. The paterfamilias, or male head of the household, wielded significant authority over his family, including his wife, children, and even enslaved individuals. Roman families emphasized duty, tradition, and respect for elders, with ancestral lineage playing a crucial role in societal reputation. Women, while largely confined to domestic roles, could exert influence within the household and, in some cases, in business affairs. Marriage alliances were also instrumental in forging political and social ties, reinforcing the interconnected nature of Roman society.
Beyond the family, Roman society was stratified into distinct classes, each with its own privileges and restrictions. At the top were the patricians, an elite group of aristocratic families who traditionally held political power. Their wealth and influence allowed them to dominate the Senate and other governing bodies. Below them were the plebeians, a broad class of commoners that included farmers, artisans, and merchants. Although they had fewer political rights in the early Republic, the plebeians gradually gained influence through social and political struggles, such as the Conflict of the Orders. The lowest tier of society consisted of enslaved individuals and freedmen. Slaves were often prisoners of war or those born into servitude, playing essential roles in both households and large-scale economic activities. Freedmen, formerly enslaved individuals who had gained their freedom, occupied an intermediate status, often working as skilled laborers or entrepreneurs while still facing social limitations.

Sarah P. Corbett

Award-winning campaigner and founder of the global Craftivist Collective Sarah Corbett shows how to respond to injustice not with apathy or aggression, but with gentle, effective protest.
This is a manifesto – for a more respectful and contemplative activism; for conversation and collaboration where too often there is division and conflict; for using craft to engage, empower and encourage us all to be the change we wish to see in the world.
Sarah's craftivism has helped change laws and business policies as well as hearts and minds. Here, with thoughtful principles and practical examples, she shows that quiet action can speak as powerfully as the loudest voice.

The Kybalion - A Study of The...

Three Initiates

Since 1908, The Kybalion has served as a study of basic Hermetic teachings that outline an ageless wisdom and touch upon the inner workings of nature. In ancient times and even today, these teachings were not understood by the lay person, but were readily understood by students after the axioms and principles had been explained and exemplified by the Hermetic Initiates and Masters to their Neophytes. An occult classic, this edition of The Kybalion is prefaced with an intriguing and thought-provoking foreword by Summum. 
''The purpose of this work is not the enunciation of any special philosophy or doctrine, but rather is to give to the students a statement of the Truth that will serve to reconcile the many bits of occult knowledge that they may have acquired, but which are apparently opposed to each other and which often serve to discourage and disgust the beginner in the study. Our intent is not to erect a new Temple of Knowledge, but rather to place in the hands of the student a Master-Key with which he may open the many inner doors in the Temple of Mystery through the main portals he has already entered.'' -- The Kybalion
