Sinossi

"Unless wariness be used, as good almost kill a man as kill a good book; who kills a man kills a reasonable creature, God's image; but he who destroys a good book, kills reason itself, kills the image of God, as it were in the eye."   Areopagitica - A speech of Mr. John Milton for the Liberty of Unlicenc'd Printing, to the Parliament of England is a prose polemic against the licensing and censorship. Areopagitica is among the most influential and impassioned philosophical defenses of the principle of a right to freedom of speech and expression. Many of the principles expressed in this polemic have formed the basis for modern justifications.  Contents:  Areopagitica  Biography of John Milton

The One Armed Whiskey Man of...

Thomas C Reinstein

The One Armed Whiskey Man of Jackass Canyon daylights a newly excavated vein in the Golden State of mind. It follows the unbelievably true life and times of accidental California pioneer Thomas D Carneal III. His prominent Northern Kentucky clan carved an ironic notch into the whiskey rebellion of 1790's and beyond. Out of the blue, tragedy struck, and the family legacy ricocheted off to the wilds of 1850’s Northern California, landing on a historic rancho, shortly after California statehood. It’s a fun, whiskey fueled romp that details a broad swath of Nor Cal history from the Gilded Age to the Progressive Era. This unbelievably true story concludes with the zeitgeist of creative lawlessness rampant in 1920’s Bay Area, where prohibition just never caught on.  A companion PDF is available on select platforms that provides historical photos relating to each chapter.
