Sinopse

John Logan’s The Great Conspiracy is a powerful and meticulously researched account of the political turmoil that led to the American Civil War. First published in 1886, this compelling work examines the growing tensions between North and South, exposing the calculated efforts to preserve and expand slavery at any cost. With the insight of a Union general and statesman, Logan unravels the web of political maneuvering, failed compromises, and radical actions that pushed the nation toward its most devastating conflict.     Through a detailed exploration of key events such as the Kansas-Nebraska Act, the rise of abolitionist movements, the Dred Scott decision, and the election of Abraham Lincoln, Logan presents a clear and forceful argument that the war was not an accident of history but the result of deliberate conspiracy. He reveals how pro-slavery factions sought to control the government, silence opposition, and dismantle the Union, making war an inevitable consequence of their relentless pursuit of power.     More than just a historical analysis, The Great Conspiracy serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of political extremism and the fragility of democracy. This Classicus edition brings Logan’s insightful and impassioned work to a new generation of readers, offering an essential perspective on one of the most pivotal moments in American history. A must-read for scholars, students, and history enthusiasts alike, this book remains as relevant today as when it was first written.

    We think, maybe, that homelessness is some kind of stable state, like being housed except without housing. Without really considering it, most people do imagine that people who are homeless live in, if not one place, at least in one condition, that their days are in some way predictable. But homelessness is, more than anything else, a life of constant displacement.
    		 
    The housing crisis plaguing major urban centres has sent countless people into the streets. In spring 2022, some of them found their way to the yard beside the Anglican church in Toronto’s Kensington Market, where Maggie Helwig is the priest. They pitched tents, formed an encampment, and settled in. Known as an outspoken social justice activist, Helwig has spent the last three years getting to know the residents and fighting tooth and nail to allow them to stay, battling various authorities that want to clear the yard and keep the results of the housing crisis out of sight and out of mind.
    		 
    Encampment tells the story of Helwig’s life-long activism as preparation for her fight to keep her churchyard open to people needing a home. More importantly, it introduces us to the Artist, to Jeff, and to Robin: their lives, their challenges, their humanity. It confronts our society’s callousness in allowing so many to go unhoused and demands, by bringing their stories to the fore, that we begin to respond with compassion and grace.

    Elemental And Ancestral Spirits...

    The two primary elements were those of darkness and light: Sut was the power of darkness, Horus the power of light. In one representation the two elements were imaged by means of the black bird of Sut and the white bird, or golden hawk, of Horus. Thus we can identify two elemental powers, as old as night and day, which are primeval in universal mythology; and these two powers, or animistic souls, were divinized as the two gods Sut and Horus with the two birds of darkness and light, the black vulture and the gold hawk depicted back to back as their two representative types or personal totems. –from “Elemental and Ancestral Spirits, or The Gods and the Glorified” 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 3 of Ancient Egypt, in which Massey explains how the original elemental spirits of early humans were transformed into deities, and how the concept of a “soul” developed from animalistic representations of natural forces. 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.
