Synopsis

In "The Journal, with Other Writings of John Woolman," readers encounter a profound exploration of the human condition through the introspective lens of one of America's earliest social reformers. Woolman's literary style is characterized by a reflective, earnest prose that melds personal narrative with broader social critique, embedding his Quaker beliefs deeply within his observations on spirituality, ethics, and the moral implications of slavery. The context of his writings emerges during the 18th century, a tumultuous time in American history marked by colonial unrest and moral dilemmas surrounding human rights, making his journal both a personal document and a vital historical artifact. John Woolman (1720-1772) was a pioneering Quaker abolitionist whose empathetic worldview was shaped by his early experiences with poverty, injustice, and the harsh realities of slave labor. His commitment to ethical living and universal compassion inspired his travels across the American colonies, challenging the status quo and advocating for social change. Woolman's dedication to social justice reflects the values of early Quakerism, emphasizing the importance of individual conscience in confronting societal evils. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the intersections of spirituality, ethics, and social justice. Woolman's insights continue to resonate today, encouraging readers to reflect on their own beliefs and actions in the face of injustice, making it not just a historical account but a timeless call for compassion and reform.

    Brace yourself for a roller coaster thrill ride as you join the Tattoo the Earth 2000 summer tour of America, the most insane tour ever inflicted on a continent. 
Featuring twenty of metal’s biggest bands, including Metallica, Slipknot, and Slayer, plus Filip Leu, Sean Vasquez, and the world’s best tattoo artists, these renegade outsiders pissed off all the wrong music business heavyweights but left delirious inked fans in their wake. Caravan of Pain is a rip-roaring music business underdog tale: compelling, hysterical, and cautionary. Its unique peek inside the world of music festivals, metal, and tattooing gives the reader a front row seat to a watershed time in our culture at the turn of the millennium. Told with candor and humor by the tour’s creator, Scott Alderman, and illustrated with memorabilia and never-before-seen photos, Caravan of Pain is a story of inspiration, persistence, and the dark side of following a dream.

    Dorothy Kathleen Broster was born on 2nd September 1877 at Devon Lodge in Grassendale Park, Garston, Liverpool. 
At 16, the family moved to Cheltenham, where she attended Cheltenham Ladies' College and then on to St Hilda’s College, Oxford to read history, where she was one of the first female students, although at this time women were not awarded degrees. 
Broster served as secretary to Charles Harding Firth, a Professor of History for several years, and collaborated on several of his works. Her first two novels were co-written with a college friend, Gertrude Winifred Taylor. 
With the Great War interrupting her literary ambitions she served as a Red Cross nurse at a Franco-American hospital, but returned to England with a knee infection in 1916.  
After the war, she moved near to Battle in East Sussex and took up writing full-time.  
In 1920 she at last received her Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts from Oxford. 
Her novels, mainly historical fiction, peaked in popularity with ‘The Flight of the Heron’, in 1925, a best-seller followed up by two sequels. 
As well as poetry and various articles she also wrote several short stories, the best known of which is a classic of weird fiction ‘The Couching at the Door’ in which an artist appears to be haunted by a mysterious entity. 
An intensely private individual many readers deduced from her name that she was both a man and Scottish. 
D K Broster died in Bexhill Hospital on 7th February 1950.  She was 73.

    Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart.  A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. 
 
In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?  
 
The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.  Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. 
 
Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.  If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. 
 
The Century moves on decade by decade. War once again scars Europe, in America wagons roll west.  Social unrest continues even as conditions improve markedly for the few and only a little for the many.  The list of problems and of challenges described by our authors is long and their stories once again full of valuable and telling insights.

    The 95th Rifles - Wellington's sharpshooters - first into battle and last out.Acclaimed military writer Mark Urban explores the extraordinary story of these military pioneers; the toughest and deadliest infantrymen in Wellington's Army.Immortalised in Bernard Cornwell's Sharpe novels, the 95th Rifles were skirmishers tasked with acting as Wellington's advanced guard. It was new technology for the warfare of the time: they travelled light, moved rapidly, armed with the accurate rifles that would allow them to take shots from distance. The 95th Rifles were the prototype of the modern infantryman.Mark Urban's fascinating history of the 95th is a must-listen for anyone interested in military history.From the author of Task Force Black, Big Boys' Rules and The Tank War.'If you like Sharpe, then this book is a must, your Christmas present solved.'
