Synopsis

In "Crowds," Gerald Stanley Lee delves into the complexities of human behavior and societal dynamics, exploring how large groups influence individual actions, emotions, and beliefs. Written in a reflective and analytical style characteristic of early 20th-century sociological thought, the book interweaves anecdotes, observations, and theoretical insights. Lee scrutinizes the psychological forces at play within collective gatherings, drawing upon his rich understanding of social psychology and the burgeoning field of crowd theory during his time. The text serves as both a chronicle of contemporary societal phenomena and a prescient exploration of the challenges posed by the massification of social behavior. Gerald Stanley Lee was an influential American writer, thinker, and social commentator whose interest in crowd psychology stemmed from the tumultuous events of his age, particularly the effects of World War I and the rise of mass movements. His academic background in literature and philosophy informed his distinctive perspective, enabling him to weave insightful observations about public sentiment and individual identity within the fabric of society. Lee's interdisciplinary approach makes "Crowds" a vital contribution to the fields of sociology and psychology alike. This thought-provoking book invites readers to reconsider the nature of collective existence, making it an essential read for those interested in psychology, sociology, and the human experience as a whole. Lee's keen insights are as relevant today as they were when first published, offering clarity into the complexities of contemporary social dynamics. It serves not only as a historical account but also as a guide for understanding current societal trends.

    A group of Brahmins from Telangana had come to Pune and indulged in several incidents of irregular behaviour that disturbed the peace. They disobeyed the regulations and indulged in theft and rioting. On 29 August that year, thirty-five Telanga Brahmins were apprehended by a police officer on duty and shut up in a room in the chowky at Bhavani peth. Ghashiram personally did not visit the prison cell, which was in the form of a tunnel with poor ventilation. The prisoners remained in the cell for an entire day and a night and on the third morning, Manaji Phakde (a cousin of Mahadji Scindia) was passing that way, when he heard noises. He personally went to the cell
    and broke open the locks to find that twenty-one of the Telanga Brahmins had died. He promptly informed Nana and the Peshwa of the tragedy.

    Epic story or historical fact? Historians disagree whether the Trojan War was either – or both! Around 1,200 BCE, war raged between the Ancient Greeks and their rivals in Troy. It’s the oldest story in the world, and its account was captured by the Greek poet, Homer. In this amazing and intriguing audiobook, you’ll learn just why this story is still studied in high schools and universities worldwide! 
    Who were these Greeks, and what drove them to fight for so long, so far from home? Who were the Trojans, and how were they able to fend off the mighty Greeks for ten long years? Perhaps even more important, what has caused us to tell and retell this story for thousands of years? 
    This audiobook takes its audience on a journey into Homer’s Iliad and beyond; you’ll be surprised at the workings going on between gods and humans, royalty and commoners, soldiers and their captives. For an exciting ride that ends inside of a wooden horse, come along! You’ll learn:       Why the war started       How one face launched a thousand ships       About the tricksters – and the tricked!       Myth or history – which parts are which?       Who were the Trojans? 
    Despite its numerous interpretations, Homer’s Iliad remains one of the world’s most discussed and most studied works of all time. Many say the war itself was not as important as Homer’s work; even Alexander the Great kept a copy under his pillow!

    CONGRESS SHALL MAKE NO LAW RESPECTING AN ESTABLISHMENT OF RELIGION, OR PROHIBITING THE FREE EXERCISE THEREOF. Those words, scratched on parchment in 1789, open the US Constitution's First Amendment. From them, countless interpretations have been drawn. As a consequence, an astonishing variety of activities in modern America—prayer after football games, Bible reading in classrooms, company healthcare policies, the baking of wedding cakes, and Ten Commandment displays around courthouses—have been alternately authorized, prohibited, or modified. 
     
     
     
    In this compelling historical account, Chris Beneke explains how the religion clauses came into existence and how they were woven into American culture. He brings prominent early national figures to life, including George Washington, James Madison, and Thomas Paine, while chronicling the First Amendment's relationship to defining social conditions like slavery, civility, family life, and the free market. 
     
     
     
    Going beyond traditional church-state scholarship, Beneke also demonstrates how white women, African Americans, Roman Catholics, Jews, and nonbelievers widened religious liberty's application and illuminated its boundaries. In doing so he makes a groundbreaking contribution to both constitutional history and the history of American pluralism.
