Sinossi

Ingersoll Lockwood's "The Greatest Works of Ingersoll Lockwood" is an illustrative compilation that encapsulates the author's visionary tales, marked by whimsical imagination and a satirical tone. Lockwood's narratives often blur the lines between fantasy and reality, exploring themes of power, identity, and the human condition. Through characters like Baron Trump and his fantastical adventures, Lockwood's unique literary style reflects the socio-political landscape of the Gilded Age, employing humor and absurdity to critique contemporary society, while simultaneously foreshadowing future developments in American culture. Ingersoll Lockwood, an American lawyer and writer born in 1841, was both an astute observer of society and a creative thinker. His experiences during a transformative period of American history, including witnessing the rise of technological advancements and shifting social dynamics, informed his fantastical storytelling. Lockwood's background, steeped in a keen understanding of human nature and the absurdities of life, results in narratives that resonate with both profundity and charm, making his work remarkably relevant even today. Readers are encouraged to delve into this collection, as it not only showcases Lockwood's literary genius but also invites critical reflections on the nature of societal change and individual ambition. With its blend of humor and insight, "The Greatest Works of Ingersoll Lockwood" offers a timeless exploration of the human spirit, making it essential reading for anyone interested in the intersection of fiction and reality.

    Joe Biden and Kamala Harris began their transition to the White House in the most unusual of circumstances: a global pandemic, a sitting president violently refusing to accept the results of the election, and a historic racial reckoning all posed profound questions about how they would staff large parts of the government and articulate policy remedies to pressing problems in just eleven weeks. 
     
     
     
    Heath Brown's Roadblocked is a revelatory look at the seventy days between the election and the inauguration with a focus on the ways the Biden-Harris transition team sought help and advice to overcome these obstacles. More than that, Roadblocked is also a gripping history of US presidential transitions over the past half-century that compares the transition teams of the last four administrations. 
     
     
     
    Biden-Harris transition leaders had a massive team with a stated aim to promote coordination, encourage teamwork, and avoid siloing staff. In the end, however, these aims were foiled by the conditions of the pandemic and steep hierarchies, which both reduced collaboration and information sharing. In the end, despite substantial changes in the Democratic coalition, newly influential groups armed with novel tactics, and great shifts in their political agenda, the Biden-Harris transition did not lead to transformation. Roadblocked explains why.

    The Egyptian Wisdom in Other...

    When the word Sheol in the Old Testament is rendered in English by “the grave,” it is inadequate times out of number. The Hebrew writers were not always speaking or thinking of the grave when they wrote of Sheol, which has to be bottomed in Amenta, the divine nether-earth, not simply in the tomb. The grave is not identical with hell, nor the pit-hole with the bottomless pit. The pangs and sorrows of Sheol, like the purging pangs of the Romish purgatory, have to be studied in the Egyptian Ritual. –from “Egyptian Wisdom in other Jewish Writings” It goes unappreciated by modern Egyptologists, but it is embraced by those who savor the concept of a “hidden history” of humanity, and those who approach all human knowledge from the perspective of the esoteric. Gerard Massey’s massive Ancient Egypt: The Light of the World–first published in 1907 and the crowning achievement of the self-taught scholar–redefines the roots of Christianity via Egypt, proposing that Egyptian mythology was the basis for Jewish and Christian beliefs. Here, Cosimo proudly presents Book 8 of Ancient Egypt, in which Massey connects the stories of the Egyptians with the tales and lessons of the Hebrew prophets, likening David to Osiris and the “King of Glory” and “Lord of Hosts”–that is, Yahweh–to the sun-god of astronomical mythology. With similar symbology of flocks and shepherds, light and darkness, and immortality in an afterlife, it is impossible, Massey argues, not to see deep connections to and influences of Egyptian wisdom in that of the Hebrews. Peculiar and profound, this work will intrigue and delight readers of history, religion, and mythology. British author GERALD MASSEY (1828-1907) published works of poetry, spiritualism, Shakespearean criticism, and theology, but his best-known works are in the realm of Egyptology, including A Book of the Beginnings and The Natural Genesis.

    Capitalism, as an economic system, is based on private ownership of the means of production and the creation of goods or services for profit. In capitalist societies, market forces—supply and demand—determine the distribution of resources and wealth. This system is characterized by competition, limited government intervention, and the pursuit of profit. Over time, capitalism has evolved in response to global events, technological advancements, and changes in social and political structures. However, a fundamental aspect of capitalism that persists is the inherent inequality it creates. 
    Inequality in capitalist societies can be understood in several forms: wealth inequality, income inequality, and social inequality. Wealth inequality refers to the uneven distribution of assets like property, stocks, and savings, where a small percentage of the population controls a large share of the wealth. Income inequality, on the other hand, concerns the differences in wages and salaries among workers, managers, and capital owners. Social inequality arises from disparities in access to resources like education, healthcare, and housing, which are often shaped by economic factors. 
    At the heart of capitalist inequality is the idea that economic success is determined by individual effort, entrepreneurship, and market performance. While this promotes competition and innovation, it also leads to stark divides between the wealthy and the poor. Those who control capital—such as land, factories, or intellectual property—are in a position to accumulate wealth far faster than those who rely solely on their labor. This uneven accumulation of wealth deepens the divide between rich and poor, creating a cycle where the wealthy continue to grow their resources, while those at the bottom struggle to access basic needs.

    Retired and relaxing at the pool on a hot, sunny Texas afternoon was the perfect way to start summer early. Life was perfect. 
    So they thought. 
    Clark and his wife, Jamie, are the proud parents of two adopted girls. Clark is a Christian who became a believer in adulthood. His faith has been his guide and was the foundation of how he and his wife raised the children. 
    Life was perfect. 
    Suddenly, life was not perfect. In fact, Clark and Jamie lived Job’s life from the Old Testament. It seemed as if everything around them was being taken from them. Life was no longer perfect. It was on that hot sunny day in Texas when their youngest daughter was ripped away from their family. Kidnapped! 
    This story is the true account of lies, deceit, delusions, and corruption. The belief in their justice system crumbled. Guilty! Before proven innocent is the new lay of the land. Evil is now disguised as what is called: “Protective Services” … Child Protective Services. 
    This book contains true facts and events that have been carefully checked and documented. Only the names have been changed. 
    Will Clark and Jamie ever get their daughter back? Or will they face more problems after challenging the system? What will happen to a disabled teenager lost in the system? Should Clark and Jamie just be quiet, or should they speak out? When did it become legal to kidnap a child? 
    This big question is: Is it right for them to confront the regime? 
    Life is not always perfect. 
    However, they have a perfect God.
