Synopsis

In "No Abolition of Slavery," James Boswell presents a compelling discourse on the ethics and politics surrounding slavery during the late 18th century. Employing a blend of persuasive rhetoric and historical analysis, Boswell critiques the prevailing abolitionist sentiments of his time while articulating a defense of the institution of slavery. His literary style is characterized by a rich, argumentative prose that navigates complex moral questions, set against the backdrop of Enlightenment thought and emerging human rights ideologies. This work situates itself within a broader dialogue on power, colonialism, and the socio-economic dynamics of 18th-century Britain, challenging readers to scrutinize the implications of abolitionism on contemporary society. James Boswell, best known for his biography of Samuel Johnson, was acutely aware of the intellectual climate that shaped public opinion on slavery. A close observer of social and political currents, his aristocratic upbringing and education facilitated a nuanced understanding of the divisive debates surrounding slavery and freedom. His perspectives, complex and often conflicting, were influenced by his connections to the Enlightenment figures who either championed or condemned the practice, ultimately culminating in this provocative and thought-provoking examination of the issue. Readers interested in historical debates over morality and human rights will find "No Abolition of Slavery" an essential text. Boswell's intricate arguments invite reflection on the nature of justice and the historical context that shapes societal views. Scholars and general readers alike will benefit from engaging with this critical examination as it provides insight into the complex legacy of slavery and the philosophical underpinnings of 18th-century societal values.

    ". . . brutally honest . . . a compelling work. GET IT" -Kirkus Reviews 
     "Moving story of an adopted daughter's search for her own voice." -Booklife 
    "Well-written and poignant . . . engaging. Feelings and experiences to which many adoptees can relate." 
    -Betsie Norris, Founder and Executive Director, Adoption Network Cleveland 
    In 1947, in Celina, Ohio, Dr. Ralph Beare and his wife, Lou, childless and in their early forties, adopted a four-and-a-half-month-old orphan. “Janice” knew she was adopted, because her mommy read her a book about how the Beare's chose her out of a Home. "We chose you, but we love you as if you were our own." However, her mother never seemed to forget she was adopted, especially on Mother’s Day, when she couldn’t look at Janice without crying. 
    Janice learned that most grown-ups in town knew her as "Dr. Beare's Daughter." Her daddy took her everywhere and people stopped to stoop down and tell her how he had saved their lives.  
    With her red hair and freckles, Janice didn't look like her dark-haired parents. Her struggle to become that elusive golden child that she imagined they really wanted came with the erasure of her own identity. Still, there was a small voice, deep inside her, that popped up at the most inconvenient times, saying, "I'm here." Try as she might to silence it, her true self often slipped out to take charge, and then there was trouble.

    Alistair Moffat tells the extraordinary story of the Highlands in the most detailed book ever written about this remarkable part of Scotland.
    This is the story of the Highlands and Islands of Scotland as it has never been told before. From the formation of the landscape millions of years ago to the twenty-first century, it brings to life the events and the people who have shaped Highland history, from saints, sinners and outlaws to monarchs, clan chiefs and warriors.
    Highly readable and informative, it mines a wide range of sources including medieval manuscripts and sagas, poetry and popular culture. Picts, Romans, Irish missionaries, Vikings, Jacobites and the flood of emigrants who left to forge new lives abroad are just some of the important players in the drama. As he paints the bigger picture, Alistair Moffat also introduces many key aspects of Highland culture and explores the experience of ordinary Highlanders and Islanders over thousands of years.

    Thomas Paine - Common Sense and...

    Thomas Paine was a political activist, theorist, political theorist, and revolutionary who was born in England. He wrote 2 of the most popular handouts at the beginning of the American Revolution, Common Sense (1776) and The American Crisis (1776-- 1783) and helped motivate patriots to announce independence from Great Britain in 1776. His thoughts echoed the Knowledge's global human rights concepts. 
    Paine, who was born in Thetford, Norfolk, relocated to the British American groups with the support of Benjamin Franklin in 1774, in the nick of time to participate in the American Revolution. Practically each rebel read (or heard to a reading of) his 47-page brochure Good sense, which was proportionally the very popular American title of perpetuity and catalyzed the defiant need for independence from Great Britain. The American Crisis was a pamphlet series that promoted for revolution. Paine spent the most of the 1790s in France, where he ended up being deeply immersed in the Reign of terror. He wrote Rights of Man (1791), which was partially a defense to the challengers of the Reign of terror. In 1792, he was tried and found guilty in England for seditious libel in his lack for his attacks on Anglo-Irish conservative author Edmund Burke. 
    Thomas Paine has certainly left his mark. He’s become a historical figure worth remembering. Let’s explore more about his life and mission in this book.
