Synopsis

In "The History of John Bull," John Arbuthnot evokes the spirit of early 18th-century Britain through a satirical lens, crafting a narrative that deftly intertwines political commentary and social critique. The book chronicles the persona of John Bull, a quintessential Englishman, representing the nation's character, virtues, and follies amidst the tumult of national affairs. Employing a blend of humor and keen observation, Arbuthnot's prose reflects the era's complexities, communicating the dynamic relationships between England, Scotland, and Ireland, while engaging with contemporary socioeconomic issues through a unique allegorical framework. John Arbuthnot, a physician and satirist, was notably influenced by the political landscape of his time, including the Jacobite risings and early Whig politics. His expertise in medicine and engagement with the scientific community further enriched his understanding of human nature, allowing him to portray John Bull not merely as a national symbol but as a reflective mirror of the collective psyche of the British populace. Arbuthnot's multifaceted background as a satirist, physician, and social observer culminated in this work, establishing him as a significant voice of his age. "The History of John Bull" is essential reading for those interested in the intersection of literature and politics in the early 1700s. Arbuthnot's witty narrative provides valuable insights into the societal values and issues of the time, making it an indispensable resource for historians and literature enthusiasts alike. Dive into this engaging satire to understand the fabric of British identity and the enduring power of satire in critiquing society.

    From mavericks to party standard-bearers, United States Senators, members of the House of Representatives, and presidential candidates have campaigned for four decades espousing their intentions to address the impacts of climate change. 
     
     
     
    Glacial: The Inside Story of Climate Politics is the first Inside-the-Beltway account to lay bare the machinations of what went wrong in Washington—how and why our leaders failed to act on climate change as mounting scientific evidence underscored the urgency to do so. Glacial tells a story of behind-the-scenes infighting and power struggles that blocked or derailed federal legislative progress on climate change, even in times of bipartisanship and with polls showing most Americans favored action. 
     
     
     
    The good news today is that public opinion is at its highest level of support for climate action, from corporate boardrooms embracing sustainability for business reasons to movements led by passionate younger generations who can't afford to stand mute because it is they who will inherit the worst environmental catastrophes. If the missed opportunities in Washington are instructive, the path to doing so is clear. Our elected officials must use their offices not solely for the power and prestige it bestows upon them personally, but for the public good—and they must do so while there is still time.
