Sinopse

In "Jeanne D'Arc: her life and death," Margaret Oliphant intricately weaves a narrative that transcends mere biographical recounting to explore the cultural and spiritual significance of one of history's most enigmatic figures. Employing a blend of vivid prose and meticulous historical detail, Oliphant immerses the reader in the complex socio-political landscape of 15th century France. This work is not only a depiction of Jeanne d'Arc's life and martyrdom but also a reflection on nationalism, faith, and the role of women in a patriarchal society, placing Jeanne within a broader context of gender and power. Margaret Oliphant, a prolific Victorian novelist and biographer, drew on her own deep sense of social justice and fascination with figures who defy societal norms. Her extensive studies in literature and history position her uniquely to address such themes, reflecting her own struggles as a female author in the predominantly male literary sphere. This biographical work emerges from her desire to illuminate overlooked female figures who challenge the status quo, signifying the resilience of their spirits amid adversity. I highly recommend "Jeanne D'Arc: her life and death" to readers interested in historical biographies, feminist literature, or anyone captivated by tales of courage. Oliphant's exploration of Jeanne's righteousness and conviction serves not only as a compelling biography but also as a timeless commentary on the human spirit's fight against oppression.

    This is small part of introduction of the book: Greetings, dear reader, and welcome to a journey through the remarkable life and enduring legacy of one of the greatest minds in human history Albert Einstein. In the pages that follow, we will explore the life of a man whose name has become synonymous with genius, innovation, and revolutionary scientific thought. From humble beginnings in Ulm, Germany, to his later years as a celebrated figure on the world stage, Albert Einstein's life story is one of curiosity, perseverance, and ground-breaking discovery. Born on March 14, 1879, Einstein's early years hinted at the extraordinary path he was destined to tread. His insatiable thirst for knowledge and his uncanny ability to unravel the mysteries of the universe set him on a course that would forever change the landscape of modern physics. This book is more than a mere collection of dates and events; it is a chronicle of a man's quest to understand the fundamental workings of our universe. As we journey through the chapters that follow, we will witness the emergence of his revolutionary ideas the Special Theory of Relativity, the General Theory of Relativity, and the famous equation E=mc². We will stand alongside him during pivotal moments such as the solar eclipse expedition that confirmed his theories and the Nobel Prize recognition that solidified his place in history.

    Daniel P. Todes provides concise introduction to the life and science of the great Russian physiologist Ivan Pavlov (1849-1936). Todes weaves together Pavlov's life, values, context, and science by focusing upon his quest to understand the psyche and the "torments of our consciousness." 
     
     
     
    This introduction follows the origins and maturation of Pavlov's quest from his early life in a priestly family in provincial Riazan, to his struggles and late professional success in the glittering capital of St. Petersburg, through the cataclysmic destruction of his world during the Bolshevik seizure of power and civil war of 1917-1921, to the rebuilding of his life in his 70s as a "prosperous dissident" during the Leninist 1920s, and his success and personal torments in 1929-1936 during the industrialization, cultural revolution, and terror of Stalin times. 
     
     
     
    Beyond a basic biography, Todes devotes particular attention to Pavlov's Nobel Prize-winning research on digestion (1891-1903) and his iconic studies of conditional reflexes and higher nervous activity (1903-1936), as well as his experiments with dogs. Todes shows that Pavlov was not a behaviorist, did not use a bell, and was uninterested in training dogs. The Russian scientist sought to explain not merely external behaviors, but the emotional and intellectual life of animals and humans.
