Sinopsis

In "Eighteenth Century Waifs," John Ashton delves into the fraught societal landscapes of the 1700s, portraying the precarious lives of those marginally existing within the cultural framework of the time. Ashton's literary style, characterized by a blend of vivid narrative and acute historical analysis, evokes a rich tapestry of characters and their often tragic circumstances. Drawing on extensive primary sources, he explores themes of abandonment, identity, and resilience, set against the backdrop of rapid societal change and economic turmoil that marked the age of Enlightenment and the early Industrial Revolution. John Ashton was a prominent folklorist and scholar of the Victorian era, whose fascination with the cultural undercurrents of history significantly influenced his writing. His extensive research on the lives of the less fortunate in society reflects a keen awareness of the socio-political dynamics that shaped human experiences, compelling him to shed light on the 'waifs' of the eighteenth century. Ashton's ability to weave narrative with scholarly rigor offers readers an introspective look into a time often romanticized yet filled with strife. This meticulously crafted work is recommended for readers interested in the interplay between history and literature, offering a piercing insight into the overlooked narratives of the past. Ashton's "Eighteenth Century Waifs" not only serves as a historical account but also invites contemporary reflections on identity and the human condition, making it a must-read for scholars and casual readers alike.

    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.

    'Mark Shaw is the foremost analyst of organised crime in SA.' – Jonny Steinberg
    At the dawn of the country's brave new democracy, Cape Town was at war. Pagad, which began as a community protest action against crime, had mutated into a sinister vigilante group wreaking death and destruction across the city. Between 1996 and 2001, there were hundreds of bomb blasts – most infamously at the Planet Hollywood restaurant at the V&A Waterfront – and countless targeted hits on druglords and gang bosses.
    The police scrambled desperately to respond. The new ANC government was shaken. Citizens of Cape Town lived in fear. Who could save the city?
    Mark Shaw tells the incredible tale of how former foes – struggle cadres and the apartheid security apparatus – pulled together to break the Pagad death squads. Out of this crisis emerged the elite law enforcement unit, the Scorpions.
    It is a story that has never been told in full. Now many involved have broken their silence about this pivotal chapter in South Africa's history, which offers far-reaching lessons on how to deal with organised crime today.

    Hello (And Goodbye) To All That...

    Raised in suburban Chicago, Jonathan Liebson grew up hearing fabled stories about his father's childhood in New York. The Manhattan and Queens of his father's past, and the Lower East Side of his immigrant grandfather, always shimmered in the background—until one day Jonathan finally moved there himself. This was right on the cusp of the twenty-first century: the dawn of a new millennium. The city raced headlong into an era of cellphones, the internet, and many other unpredictable changes. Over time, New York would be wracked by 9/11, a Great Recession, a great hurricane, and a great pandemic—plus much more. Hello (and Goodbye) to All That is a memoir that recounts the indelible ties Jonathan would forge in his father's city, and his up-close view of profound historical episodes. The memoir plays off Joan Didion's famous essay "Goodbye to All That," where she describes the exciting yet fleeting experience of living in New York. In contrast, Jonathan's memoir provides a narrative about the city's permanence: it tells an intergenerational story of father and son that reveals a mutual connection to a constantly changing, often-troubled, yet still-dynamic city—and to the larger American history it comprises.
