Sinopse

In "Six Years With the Texas Rangers: 1875 to 1881," James B. Gillett offers a vivid and compelling memoir that chronicles his experiences as a Texas Ranger during a transformative period in the American West. Gillett's narrative is marked by a concise and engaging literary style; he skillfully combines firsthand accounts with rich details of law enforcement challenges, the sociopolitical landscape of post-Civil War America, and the ruggedness of the Texan terrain. The book captures the spirit and ethos of the Rangers while reflecting broader themes of justice, valor, and the complexities of frontier life. James B. Gillett served with distinction in the Texas Rangers, a background that imbues his writing with authenticity and authority. His experiences reflect not only personal bravery but also the fateful intersections of law enforcement and societal change. Gillett's insights hint at the moral ambiguities faced by those on the frontier, likely influenced by his desire to document and make sense of the tumultuous environment in which he operated. This book is highly recommended for anyone interested in the history of the Texas Rangers, American law enforcement, and the broader narrative of the American West. Gillett's memoir serves as both a historical document and an exhilarating read, offering invaluable perspectives for scholars and enthusiasts alike.

    The universe wakes up through you. 
    We see history as an unceasing flow of causality and time; an endless series of past events leading up to the present. We feel ourselves as the detached observers of it, somehow standing on the outside watching the world go by. But the truth is we’re not on the outside. We’re at the very center of it all. 
    Interweaving history, mythology, psychology, and mystical experience, author John Payne charts the journey of I from its Paleolithic origins through the emergence of language and literacy, forward through the worldviews of the Greeks and Hebrews, and on to the present time. 
    The premise of this book is that the Universe’s most sincere project is the creation of a self-reflection point called I. Climbing up out of the universe’s primordia using the rungs of matter, animal biology and cultural enterprises such as myth, religion, literacy and science, Consciousness has constricted itself to a place two inches behind your forehead. 
    And it has been waiting for you to wake up.
