    Radama— the young, savvy ruler of the rising military power in Madagascar. Robert Townsend Farquhar— governor of the British island colony of Mauritius, whose plantation economy depends on slave labor. James Hastie— an enterprising East India Company sergeant, ready to take on a risky mission. In the aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars, as Britain and France face off in the southwest Indian Ocean, the destinies of these three characters intertwine. Will the British cut a deal to end the export of slaves from Madagascar, and if so at what cost? Will Radama, with Hastie by his side, win the internal power struggle against nobles and clan chieftains? Hastie' s previously unpublished journals offer the most comprehensive early 19th century account of Madagascar, its landscape, crops, industry, commerce, culture, and inhabitants, and weave a narrative of hazardous travel, byzantine court intrigue and colonial geopolitics. Sir Mervyn Brown, a former UK ambassador and historian of Madagascar, has described Hastie as " one of the most important and attractive figures in the history of Anglo-Malagasy relations."

    This is small copy of introduction of the book: In the vast tapestry of human history and human thought, few figures stand as tall and enduring as Thomas Hobbes—a man whose ideas continue to shape the contours of political philosophy, science, and history even today. Born on April 5, 1588, in the quaint town of Westport, Wiltshire, England, Hobbes's journey through life was marked by intellectual curiosity, resilience, and a profound engagement with the turbulent currents of his time. 
    As we embark on this exploration of "Thomas Hobbes: A Political Philosopher, Scientist, and Historian," it is crucial to recognize the multifaceted nature of his contributions. Hobbes was not merely a philosopher; he was a polymath whose intellectual pursuits spanned the realms of political theory, science, and historical reflection. 
    Chapter by chapter, we will unravel the threads of his life, beginning with the formative years that laid the foundation for his intellectual pursuits. From his early education at the prestigious University of Oxford, where he imbibed the spirit of classical thought, to his exposure to the revolutionary ideas emanating from the scientific community, we will trace the evolution of a mind destined for greatness. 
    Hobbes's role as the tutor to the influential Cavendish family in the 1610s opened doors to a world of intellectual exchange and travel, shaping his perspectives in ways that would resonate throughout his life. It was during this period that he began to articulate his philosophical ideas, offering early glimpses into the themes that would later find full expression in his seminal work, "Leviathan."

    The Hippocratic oath is sacred.  Until it’s not.  Human foibles and frailties can quickly grow and make the Doctor into a romantic hero, or a despised villain, or hopeless professional in the face of what is around him. 
     
    In this volume our protagonists are the people we look to for help and certainty when we are in distress and pain.  Our authors place these characters in stories that are as relevant to our thoughts today as when they were first published.

    In Walking the Tideline, Caroline Kurtz solo hikes the rugged, beautiful Oregon Coast—an expedition of isolation, adventure, joy, and grief inside the emotional wilderness of finding one's identity after the death of a loved one. 
      
    In her third memoir, Portland-based author Caroline Kurtz travels the coast of Oregon on foot in her late sixties, tracing the boundary of sand and salt water, rock and forests, carrying her shelter and food as she navigates the edges of solace and resolution after the death of her husband. During her journey, Kurtz grieves as she reflects on her long, and at times rocky, marriage to Mark, whom she had known and loved since she was a teenager in boarding school in Ethiopia. As she navigates the adventures encountered along the trail—leaky tents, hitching rides, chance encounters, and beautiful landscapes—she intertwines the historical events of coastal Oregon with her spiritual experience, giving space for the shattering of an old identity and the planting of a new self, nourished and enlightened by the depths of a profoundly complex and considered life. 
      
    Kurtz spent her early years in Oregon before her parents moved her and her siblings to remote Ethiopia, where she spent her childhood and teen years, before returning to America for college, where she reunited with and married Mark. The two lived variously in Portland, Ethiopia, and Kenya, and retired to Portland, where Caroline now lives.
