  Six months ago, I had never heard the name Eugene Debs. Today, I believe he is one of the greatest orators in history, ranking alongside Napoleon, Robespierre, Lincoln, and Cicero. More importantly, he was a genuine hero, a man to believe in and follow into the fires of hell. His legacy has been unrightly ignored by the same powers that imprisoned and harassed him over his life. He should be an icon, but is unremembered, for reasons he himself goes into. However, there is one key difference between Debs and these other orators: every one of the others fought for empire, or glory, or democracy – but Debs fought for the working man’s right to a decent existence.A railroad man from 15, he founded then turned against the unions as they became tools of the owners, and won 3% of the presidential vote in 1920 despite being a) the Socialist candidate and b) in prison for sedition. The two major speeches missing from this volume can be found in the prior collection, being “You Railroad Men”, whose content is covered in other speeches herein, and “Statement to the Court”, which is summarised in part 4 of Scott Nearing’s analysis.

  This is the extraordinary story of how salt fish from Shetland became one of the staple foods of Europe, powered an economic boom, and inspired artists, writers, and musicians. 
   
   
   
  It ranges from the wild waters of the North Atlantic, the ice-filled fjords of Greenland and the remote islands of Faroe to the dining tables of London's middle classes, the bacalao restaurants of Spain and the Jewish shtetls of Eastern Europe. 
   
   
   
  As well as following the historical thread and exploring how very different cultures were drawn together by the salt fish trade, John Goodlad meets those whose lives revolve around the industry in the twenty-first century and addresses today's pressing themes of sustainability, climate change, and food choices.

  Refugees - The Crisis of...

  The refugee crisis is one of the most pressing humanitarian challenges of our time. Across the globe, millions of individuals are forced to flee their homes due to conflict, violence, persecution, and natural disasters. These displaced individuals, known as refugees, face an uncertain future, often enduring unimaginable hardships in their quest for safety and stability. As of recent estimates, more than 100 million people have been forcibly displaced, with a significant portion seeking refuge in countries that already face their own social, political, and economic challenges. The sheer scale and complexity of the crisis demand urgent attention from governments, international organizations, and civil society to find sustainable solutions. 
    
  The root causes of displacement are multifaceted. Armed conflicts, such as the civil war in Syria and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, have displaced millions, while ethnic and religious persecution continues to push people from their homelands. Climate change is also playing an increasingly significant role, with droughts, floods, and rising sea levels displacing whole communities. The combination of political instability, economic hardship, and environmental degradation has created a perfect storm of displacement, and the numbers continue to rise. 
    
  Despite the challenges refugees face, their resilience and determination to rebuild their lives are evident. In host countries, refugees contribute to their new communities, often starting businesses, integrating into the workforce, and enriching cultural diversity. However, their journey is far from easy. Many refugees face barriers to legal recognition, limited access to basic services, and widespread xenophobia and discrimination. The experience of displacement is often marked by a sense of loss—of home, identity, and a sense of belonging.

  The Divine Knowledge of Egypt -...

  To the peoples of antiquity, Egypt appeared as the very essence of Knowledge. In the mysterious Nile country, they found a knowledge system much more highly developed than any within their native Knowledge, with which Egyptian religion was so strongly identified; thus, it appeared to the foreigner to savour Knowledge practices. Suppose the materials of the Pyramid Knowledge papyri be omitted. In that case, the accounts we possess of Egyptian Knowledge are almost wholly foreign, so that it is wiser to derive our data concerning it from the original native sources if we desire to arrive at a proper understanding of the Egyptian Pyramid and Temple Building.
