Elizabeth Cady Stanton

Sinopsis

In 'The Greatest Works of Elizabeth Cady Stanton,' readers are presented with an anthology that encapsulates the profound impact of Stanton's writings on the women'Äôs suffrage movement and the broader framework of social justice. Her eloquent prose seamlessly blends persuasive rhetoric with personal narrative, reflecting a new literary style emerging in the 19th century that sought to combine activism with art. This collection includes pivotal speeches, letters, and essays, each piece underscoring her arguments for women's rights and equality grounded in the context of an America grappling with its own civil liberties and social reform. Stanton challenges the prevailing norms of her time, providing not just compelling arguments, but also a vision for a more just society. Elizabeth Cady Stanton was a pioneering feminist, suffragist, and social reformer whose life experiences fueled her advocacy. As an educated woman confined by the restrictive gender norms of her era, her determination to articulate the injustices faced by women was inspired by personal encounters and the sociopolitical landscape of 19th-century America. Stanton co-organized the Seneca Falls Convention and collaborated with notable figures like Susan B. Anthony, solidifying her role as a leading voice in the fight for gender equality and reform. This compilation is highly recommended for anyone interested in women's history, social justice, or the roots of modern feminist thought. Stanton's formidable intellect and passionate advocacy resonate through her words, making this work essential for understanding the evolution of women's rights in America. Whether one is a scholar of gender studies or simply an informed citizen, Stanton'Äôs writings remain as relevant today as they were over a century ago.

Founding an Empire

Santiago Machain

From the wind-swept plains of Anshan to the terraced palaces of Persepolis, Founding an Empire follows how a cluster of royal ambitions became the ancient world’s most sophisticated superstate. Opening with Cyrus the Great’s audacious conquests and his radical politics of legitimacy—liberation, local autonomy, and measured mercy—the narrative moves through Cambyses II’s Egyptian campaign at the edge of the known world and into the turbulence of succession that nearly cracked the young empire. It culminates with Darius I’s disciplined counterrevolution: a reforming king who turned roads, taxes, languages, and law into a scalable system.

The Essence of Chan - A Guide to...

Guo Gu

Clear and illuminating commentary on one of Bodhidharma's most important texts—designed to help Chan practitioners apply timeless and essential advice to their practice 
 
 
 
Legend has it that more than a thousand years ago an Indian Buddhist monk named Bodhidharma arrived in China. His approach to teaching was unlike that of any of the Buddhist missionaries who had come to China before him. He confounded the emperor with cryptic dialogues, traveled the country, lived in a cave in the mountains, and eventually paved the way for a unique and illuminating approach to Buddhist teachings that would later spread across the whole of East Asia in the form of Chan—later to be known as Seon in Korean, Thien in Vietnamese, and Zen in Japanese. 
 
 
 
This book, a translation and commentary on one of Bodhidharma's most important texts, explores Bodhidharma's revolutionary teachings in English. Guo Gu weaves his commentary through modern and relatable contexts, showing that this centuries-old wisdom is just as crucial for life now as it was when it first came to be. Masterfully translated and accompanied by helpful insights to supplement daily practice, The Essence of Chan is the perfect guide for those new to Chan, those returning, or those who have been practicing for years.

Love Nailed To The Doorpost

Richard Chess

In Love Nailed to the Doorpost, Richard Chess offers poems and lyrical prose inspired and informed equally by the pleasures and pressures of everyday life and by sacred and secular texts ranging from Torah to Basho to Robert Creeley. This new work transports us from the biblical past to the present, from creation stories to stories of brotherly struggle to meditations on married and family love. 
Love—that’s the thing, whether spontaneously arising or commanded, as it is, the commandment to love inscribed on parchment, rolled up and tucked into a small case, a mezuzah, and nailed to the doorpost of the house. You shall love: the challenges of fulfilling that commandment, and the joy and transformation one experiences when one does: that’s what Chess’s powerful new work explores.

We all keep secrets. 97 per cent of us are hiding a secret right now, and on average we each hold thirteen at any one time.

As a public figure, he has found himself the unwitting recipient of hundreds of strangers' most private revelations. This set him on a journey to understand this critical part of our societies and lives. Why do we keep secrets? Why are we fascinated by those of others? What happens to our mind when we confess?Drawing from psychology, history, social science, philosophy and personal interviews, The Psychology of Secrets is a rollicking journey through the history of secrecy.--"That Andrew Gold is a truly edgy journalist, broadcaster and now writer is - but should not be - one of our culture’s best kept secrets" - David Baddiel, bestselling author of The God Desire
