Synopsis

In "Every Day Life in the Massachusetts Bay Colony," George Francis Dow offers an incisive exploration of the daily experiences of the settlers in one of America's earliest and most significant colonies. Through meticulous research and vivid descriptive prose, Dow creates a rich tapestry of the social, economic, and cultural practices that shaped the lives of the Puritan inhabitants. The book is structured thematically, providing readers with insights into domestic life, religious practices, and community engagements, all framed within the early 17th-century context. Dow's literary style is both engaging and scholarly, making extensive use of primary sources that illuminate the nuances of colonial life often overlooked by contemporary historians. George Francis Dow was a dedicated historian and an avid collector of historical artifacts, specializing in New England's colonial period. His intense interest in the details of daily living and cultural heritage likely stemmed from his commitment to preserving history, as evidenced by his previous works. Dow's attention to the socio-political environment of the Massachusetts Bay Colony reveals his understanding of how that historical backdrop influenced the settlers' choices and interactions. This book is essential for anyone interested in early American history, offering a comprehensive overview that transcends mere dates and events to reveal the heart of a community. It serves as an invaluable resource for historians, educators, and general readers alike, inviting them to step into the shoes of the colonists and experience their lives firsthand.

Farewell Address Republican...

Ronald Reagan

On August 15, 1988, in the Louisiana Superdome, Reagan delivered a message for economic freedom. We transformed our government from one that was consuming our prosperity into one that would get out of the way of those who create prosperity.
Reagan notes the “inflated rhetoric of our friends in Atlanta last month. But then, inflation is their specialty.” As John Adams said, “Facts are stubborn things.”
When we came to Washington, we suffered the worst back-to-back years of inflation in 60 years, interest rates over 21 percent, declining productivity, weekly wages, and family income, the highest tax bill in history, and a 21 percent misery index.
The Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan. Iran stormed our embassy and took Americans hostage. The world questioned our resolve.
We responded by cutting taxes and creating over 17 million jobs. Inflation is below 4 percent and interest rates cut in half. “I noticed they don’t call it Reaganomics anymore.”
We rebuilt our armed forces, and liberated Grenada. During our administration “not 1 inch of ground has fallen to the Communists.” We're working on the Strategic Defense Initiative to protect ourselves and our allies against nuclear terror.
Liberal elites resisted our defense buildup, our tax cuts, cutting fat out of government, and appointing judges committed to the Constitution. I’ve supported a balanced budget amendment and line-item veto, and every year the liberals said no.
We need Republican majorities in both houses. America needs George Bush. “Go out there and win one for the Gipper.”
God put this land between two great oceans to be found by people with a love of freedom, freedom of association, of worship, of hope and opportunity. Here, it’s sunrise every day with new opportunities and dreams to build.

How to Flourish - An Ancient...

Aristotle, Susan Sauvé Meyer

Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics is one of the greatest guides to human flourishing ever written, but its length and style have left many readers languishing. How to Flourish is a colloquial new translation by Susan Sauvé Meyer that makes Aristotle's timeless insights about how to lead a good life more engaging and accessible than ever before. 
 
 
 
For Aristotle, flourishing involves becoming a good person through practice, and having a life of the mind. To that end, he draws vivid portraits of virtuous and vicious characters and offers sound practical advice about everything from eating and drinking to managing money, controlling anger, getting along with others, and telling jokes. He also distinguishes different kinds of wisdom that are essential to flourishing and offers an unusual perspective on how to appreciate our place in the universe and our relation to the divine. 
 
 
 
Omitting Aristotle's digressions and repetitions and overly technical passages, How to Flourish provides connecting commentary that allows listeners to follow the continuous line of his thought. The result is an inviting and lively version of an essential work about how to flourish and lead a good life.
