Sinossi

In "Uncle Tom's Cabin, Young Folks' Edition," Harriet Beecher Stowe presents a poignant narrative addressing the horrors of slavery while rendering complex characters that engage the moral imaginations of young readers. The adaptation distills the original 1852 text, preserving its emotional depth while employing accessible language and themes ideal for younger audiences. Stowe's vivid storytelling and evocative descriptions not only illuminate the inhumanity of slavery but also encourage empathy and social consciousness, embedded within the larger context of the abolitionist movement and antebellum America. Harriet Beecher Stowe, a prominent author and ardent abolitionist, was profoundly influenced by her upbringing in a family that championed social reform and education. Her experiences living in both the North and South of the United States informed her understanding of the personal and societal effects of slavery. Stowe's commitment to advocating for human rights culminated in this transformative work, which became instrumental in shaping public opinion and galvanizing the anti-slavery cause during her time. "Uncle Tom's Cabin, Young Folks' Edition" is a crucial reading experience for young readers and educators alike. It offers an engaging introduction to the topics of justice, compassion, and moral integrity while fostering discussions about social issues that remain relevant today.

Bricks that Build Us Book 1 -...

Robin Howat

We live in a time of increasing conflict due to ignorance, lack of self-discipline and polarization. Just look at what happened in recent events at the White House! Other examples are the Covid Tanker blockade, destructive rioting in cities, hospitals coming under siege, and the Russia-Ukraine conflict.... all were and are avoidable. 
Staple Society results from succeeding constructive and protective concepts meeting obligations which generally follow traditions aimed at accepted common responsibilities. 
Rob Howat discusses and explores these social building blocks in these four books with facts and examples. He shows that for society and the law to work responsibilities must be fulfilled before meaningful rights can follow. He suggests the ongoing need for calm discussion, research and reviews, an aim for balance, and well-understood and universally agreed 'ground rules' for educational pursuits. 
The best time to open calm discussions with a goal to start building change is now, using constructive philosophy, logic, and religious proven wisdom. This set of books will greatly simplify and assist in building that deeper informed debate.
