  The last volume of Chesterton's collected essays, Gathered from the London Mercury, the New Witness, and the Illustrated London News, it is the only volume from after WWI, and is most serious, philosophical, and socially direct collection. 
  "The problem is not so much Prohibition with a large P as prohibition with a small one. I mean, I am interested not so much in liquor as in liberty. I want to know on what principle the prohibitionists are proceeding in this case, and how they think it applies to any other case. And I cannot for the life of me make out. They…do not attack liquor; they do quite simply attack liberty. I mean that they are satisfied with saying about this liberty what can obviously be said about any liberty – that it can be, and is, abominably abused. If that had been a final objection to any form of freedom, there never would have been any form of freedom." 
  "So long as we combine ceaseless and often reckless scientific speculation with rapid and often random social reform, the result must inevitably be not anarchy but ever-increasing tyranny. There must be a ceaseless and almost mechanical multiplication of things forbidden. The resolution to cure all the ills that flesh is heir to, combined with the guesswork about all possible ills that flesh and nerve and brain-cell may be heir to – these two things conducted simultaneously must inevitably spread a sort of panic of prohibition. Scientific imagination and social reform between them will quite logically and almost legitimately have made us slaves."

  The Shocking Truth about...

  The history of political ideologies is as old as civilization itself. Since the dawn of organized society, people have debated how power should be structured, who should govern, and what principles should guide leadership. These debates have given rise to various ideologies that have shaped nations, influenced policies, and determined the course of history. From monarchy and democracy to socialism and capitalism, political ideologies have evolved, merged, and sometimes clashed, reflecting the values and priorities of different societies.  
    
  At their core, political ideologies serve as frameworks for understanding the role of government, individual rights, and economic systems. They define the relationship between the state and its citizens, offering a vision of how a society should function. Some ideologies emphasize individual liberty and free markets, while others advocate for collective responsibility and state intervention. The spectrum of political thought is broad, ranging from the conservative defense of tradition to radical calls for revolution. While some ideologies have remained relatively stable over time, others have adapted to changing social and economic conditions.  
    
  Throughout history, political ideologies have been both a source of progress and division. The struggle between competing ideas has led to revolutions, wars, and the rise and fall of empires. Ideologies have inspired movements that fought for freedom, equality, and justice, but they have also justified oppression, discrimination, and totalitarian rule. The power of ideology lies in its ability to unite people under a common cause, but it can also create deep divisions, leading to conflict and unrest. Understanding political ideologies is crucial in making sense of global events, public policies, and societal changes.

  Baikonur Man - Space Science...

  Against the backdrop of the late Cold War, a tiny American start-up company forged a secret deal to place American scientific payloads aboard the Soviet space station MIR. Born out of sheer desperation after the Challenger explosion and grounding of the United States space shuttle program, the agreement was negotiated and approved behind the backs of NASA and Congress, with the help of United States government officials inside the Commerce and Defense departments. 
   
   
   
  On a cold gray morning in February 1988, the company founder met with three graduate students and their professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to put his plans into action. Baikonur Man, written by one of those students, recounts the subsequent five-year saga of how science, comradery, hardship, drama, and occasional lunacy led to the first American experiments and payloads to fly on Russian rockets.

  Documentation, through photographs and interviews, of those who survived the unique Nazi ghetto/camp located at Terezín, Czech Republic. 
   
   
   
  Dennis Carlyle Darling has photographed and interviewed hundreds of Holocaust survivors who spent time at the German transit camp and ghetto at Terezín, a former eighteenth-century military garrison located north of Prague. Many of the prisoners were kept there until they could be transported to Auschwitz or other camps, but unlike German captives elsewhere, they were allowed to participate in creative activities that the Nazis used for propaganda purposes to show the world how well they were treating Jews. Although it was not classified as a "death camp," more than 33,000 prisoners died at Terezín from hunger, disease, and mistreatment. 
   
   
   
  In Borrowed Time, Darling reveals Terezín as a place of painful contradictions, through striking and intimate portraits that retrace time and place with his subjects, the last remnants of those who survived the experience. Returning to sites of painful memories with his interview subjects to photograph them, Darling respectfully depicts these survivors and tells their stories. 
   
   
   
  Contains mature themes.
