Lydia Maria Child

Maison d'édition: Good Press

Synopsis

In "Anti-Slavery Catechism," Lydia Maria Child presents a compelling and didactic exploration of the moral and ethical imperatives against the institution of slavery. Written in an accessible question-and-answer format, the work seeks to enlighten readers on the inherent injustices of slavery, while bolstering abolitionist sentiments through rational discourse and emotional appeals. Child'Äôs literary style is marked by clarity and fervor, echoing the sentiments of the burgeoning abolitionist movement in antebellum America, and reflects the era's intellectual debates surrounding human rights and dignity. Lydia Maria Child, a prominent 19th-century abolitionist, women'Äôs rights advocate, and author, was deeply influenced by her own ethical convictions and social justice activism. Raised in a progressive environment, she harnessed her literary talents to raise awareness about societal issues, including racism, sexism, and the subjugation of marginalized groups. Her commitment to equity permeated her writings, rendering her an essential figure in the abolitionist discourse. "Anti-Slavery Catechism" is a vital read for anyone seeking to understand the moral frameworks and arguments against slavery that shaped American society. Child'Äôs work not only serves as a historical document but also as a timeless call to conscious activism, urging contemporary readers to reflect on justice and humanity in their own contexts.

The Conspiracy to End America -...

Stuart Stevens

“This is the first must-read of the 2024 election cycle if you want to understand the stakes.” –Nicole Wallace A former chief Republican strategist and bestselling author of It Was All a Lie offers an ominous warning that the G.O.P. is dragging our country towards autocracy, and if we don’t wake up to the crisis in our system, 2024 may well be our last free and fair election. Today’s Republican party is not a “normal” political party in the American tradition. It has become an autocratic movement masquerading as a political party. As Stuart Stevens argues in The Conspiracy to End America, if we look away from that truth, we greatly increase the likelihood that the America we love will slip away, never to return.    Whenever a democracy slides into autocracy, there are five critical elements at work: financers, propagandists, party support, legal theories to legitimize, and shock troops. The Conspiracy to End America examines each of these driving forces on the Right and makes clear how they are working in concert to end our democracy as we know it.    In the tradition of It Can’t Happen Here and On Tyranny, The Conspiracy to End America is a blinking red distress call about the dark intentions lurking within Stevens’ old party and a rallying cry to beat back this perilous threat and save the Republic.

Police Deception and Dishonesty...

Luke William Hunt

In Police Deception and Dishonesty, Luke William Hunt—a philosophy professor and former FBI special agent—argues that many of our assumptions about policing and security are unjustified. Through a rich discussion of literature and case studies, he shows that there are compelling reasons to think that the police's widespread use of proactive deception and dishonesty is inconsistent with fundamental norms of political morality—especially norms regarding fraud and the rule of law. Although there are times and places for dishonesty and deception in policing, Hunt evocatively illustrates why those times and places should be much more limited than current practices suggest.

The Ark Deluge and the World’s...

Gerald Massey

After the deluge in “the destruction of mankind” the god Ra establishes a covenant with those who have escaped from the flood. He says that what he commanded is well done, and that the destruction of his enemies removes destruction from themselves. “Said by the majesty of Ra, It is well done, all this. I shall now protect men on account of this. Said by Ra, I now raise my hand that I shall not destroy men” i.e. not again. The making of this covenant after the deluge is followed by the establishment of the New Year’s festival under the direction of the young priestesses of Hathor. ―from “The Ark, the Deluge, and the World’s Great Year” 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 9 of Ancient Egypt, in which Massey explores the prevalent imagery across numerous mythological traditions of a global flood unleashed at the behest of an angry god, and shows how they all sprang from Egyptian folklore. 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.

Human Trafficking - Modern-Day...

Marcus Klein

Human trafficking is one of the gravest human rights abuses of our time, affecting millions of individuals across the globe. It is a hidden yet pervasive crime that exploits people for labor, sex, and other forms of servitude. While often referred to as modern-day slavery, human trafficking encompasses a complex web of economic, social, and political factors that perpetuate its existence. This introduction aims to lay the foundation for understanding the scale, scope, and urgency of addressing this issue.
The global nature of human trafficking is staggering. Victims are often lured by false promises of employment, education, or a better life, only to find themselves trapped in cycles of exploitation. Traffickers prey on vulnerabilities such as poverty, lack of education, and unstable political environments, creating a system where victims are treated as commodities. According to the latest statistics, tens of millions of people are estimated to be living in conditions of forced labor or sexual exploitation, generating billions of dollars annually for criminal networks.
Despite increased awareness, human trafficking remains challenging to combat due to its clandestine nature. Victims are often invisible, hidden in plain sight, or silenced by fear and manipulation. The advent of technology has further complicated efforts to address trafficking, as perpetrators leverage online platforms to recruit, exploit, and evade detection. This underscores the urgent need for innovative approaches to tackle the issue.
