Sinopse

In 'The Romantic Settlement of Lord Selkirk's Colonists: The Pioneers of Manitoba,' George Bryce meticulously chronicles the settlement efforts undertaken by Lord Selkirk and his colonists within the rugged landscapes of early 19th-century Canada. Richly infused with historical detail and vivid descriptions, Bryce's narrative oscillates between the romantic ideals of colonization and the harsh realities faced by these early pioneers. Employing a blend of narrative history and personal anecdotes, the work situates itself within the broader context of colonial expansion, migration, and the cultural encounters that shaped the Canadian Prairies. George Bryce, a notable Canadian historian and author, brings a deep personal and professional connection to his subject matter. His extensive research in the region and interest in the interactions of diverse cultural groups serve as a foundation for understanding the complexities and triumphs of Lord Selkirk's project. Born in 1844 in what was then the British North America, Bryce's own experiences as a descendant of settlers enrich his exploration of the trials and aspirations of the colonists he writes about. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in understanding the intricate tapestry of Canadian history through the lens of colonization. Bryce's engaging prose and passionate storytelling invite not only scholars but also casual readers to explore a pivotal yet romanticized chapter in the development of Manitoba. Join Bryce on this enlightening journey, and gain a deeper appreciation of the sacrifices and dreams that defined Manitoba's early settlers.

In 1827 the first modern national crime statistics were published: the Compte général de l'administration de la justice criminelle en France. Before the onset of data criminology, the perception of crime relied on sources from classical antiquity, rational philosophical thought, travellers' observations, and unsystematic observations by criminal justice practitioners. With the new concept of national crime statistics, it became possible to test theories and hypotheses about crime using a shared data instrument, leading to an unprecedented avalanche of crime research by continental scholars. 
 
 
 
Crime and Civilization: The Birth of Criminology in the Early Nineteenth Century explores the rise of data-based criminology as an intellectual field in continental Europe in the early nineteenth century. Janne Kivivuori creates a new interpretation of the era of "first criminology," one approached from the perspective of data and instruments, thus complementing the traditional story based on theories and explanatory shifts from "classicism" to "positivism" and beyond. Drawing on original French, German, and English publications, the book contextualizes the rise of criminology in wider cultural history, spanning from Enlightenment philosophers to the general rise of science in society.

Guy W. Ballard (July 28, 1878-December 29, 1939) and his wife, Edna Anne Wheeler Ballard, founded the I AM Movement. Ballard served in the US Army in World War I and then became a mining engineer. Both he and Edna studied theosophy and the occult extensively. In 1930 Ballard visited Mount Shasta in California, where he met another hiker who identified himself as the Count of St. Germain. These experiences are recorded in the three books Ballard wrote using the pen name Godfre Ray King. The I AM movement was one of the most successful, flamboyant, and controversial of the late 1930s. Ballard's teachings form the original nucleus for what are today called the Ascended Master Teachings and are still being taught by I AM sanctuaries all over the world.
