Beschreibung

A father's grief for his son. A daughter's grief for her father. And a love story that crossed continents and an ocean, coming to rest in a tiny New Hampshire town. This small state has more than enough heart, sending men and women to fight for freedom around the world. New Hampshire military personnel have distinguished themselves in every war from the French and Indian War to the dusty mountains of Afghanistan. The Granite State continues to honor their sacrifices, memorializing their stories in statues, bridges, buildings and highways. Join Kathleen and Sheila Bailey as they recount the stories behind the stones.

    On Liberty is a philosophical essay by the English philosopher John Stuart Mill. Published in 1859, it applies Mill's ethical system of utilitarianism to society and state. Mill suggests standards for the relationship between authority and liberty. He emphasizes the importance of individuality, which he considers prerequisite to the higher pleasures—the summum bonum of utilitarianism. Furthermore, Mill asserts that democratic ideals may result in the tyranny of the majority. Among the standards proposed are Mill's three basic liberties of individuals, his three legitimate objections to government intervention, and his two maxims regarding the relationship of the individual to society.On Liberty was a greatly influential and well-received work. Some classical liberals and libertarians have criticized it for its apparent discontinuity with Utilitarianism, and vagueness in defining the arena within which individuals can contest government infringements on their personal freedom of action. The ideas presented in On Liberty have remained the basis of much political thought. It has remained in print since its initial publication. A copy of On Liberty is passed to the president of the British Liberal Democrats as a symbol of office.

    The Eastern Han Dynasty: A History of China, PART TWO takes you on a thrilling ride through one of China's most dramatic and chaotic eras. This book pulls you right into the palace, where figures like Empress Dou plot and scheme to secure power, even using poison and false charges to remove rivals. You'll watch the rise and fall of powerful families like the Dous and the Liang clan, who used their ties to the throne to control the empire — but always at a heavy cost. 
    You'll follow brave officials like Yuan An, Yue Hui, and Cai Yong, who risked everything to speak the truth and challenge corruption. These weren't dry, stiff scholars — they were real people caught in a deadly game of politics, facing off against terrifying figures like Liang Ji and the infamous Ten Regular Attendants, the emperor's most corrupt and dangerous eunuchs. 
    This book doesn't just tell you about emperors and generals; it shines a light on the students, rebels, and farmers, too. You'll see how the National Academy students stood up to the powerful, how the Yellow Turban Rebellion shook the empire, and how even everyday folk got tangled in the madness, whether they were sucked into fake "filial" shows or forced to pay crushing taxes to fund the emperor's endless luxuries. 
    You'll walk through lavish palace gardens, secret court meetings, bloody battlefields, and fake street markets set up inside the palace for the emperor's entertainment. From wild feasts to puppet rulers, from political assassinations to daring military campaigns, the Eastern Han was packed with stories that read like the best kind of historical drama — because they were real.
