  This is small copy of introduction of the book: In the tapestry of intellectual history, few threads shine as brightly as the life and contributions of John Locke. A luminary of the Enlightenment, Locke stands tall among the pillars of philosophical thought, his ideas casting a profound and enduring influence on the foundations of political theory, epistemology, and education. 
  As we embark on this journey through the annals of Locke's life, we are invited to explore the intricate tapestry of a man whose intellectual prowess shaped the contours of an era. In this biography, we aim to unravel the layers of Locke's existence, offering a nuanced portrait of the philosopher whose ideas continue to resonate across the corridors of time. 
  Chapter by chapter, we will traverse the milestones of Locke's life, from the cradle in Wrington, Somerset, where he drew his first breath on August 29, 1632, to the halls of Oxford, where his mind was molded by the currents of the Enlightenment. We will trace his footsteps through the political upheavals of 17th-century England, his sojourns in the Netherlands, and the publication of seminal works that would become the lodestar for future generations. 
  The narrative will unfold through the corridors of Locke's friendships, like the profound connection he shared with the illustrious scientist Isaac Newton, and his role as a tutor to the son of Lord Ashley, a position that would open doors to the political and intellectual circles of the time. 
  Our journey will not shy away from the challenges Locke faced, such as his brief implication in the Rye House Plot and the death of his political patron, Lord Shaftesbury. Nor will it overlook the triumphs, like his instrumental role in drafting the Fundamental Constitutions of Carolina and his appointment as Commissioner of Appeals upon his return to England in the wake of the Glorious Revolution.

  Come home Charley Patton

  Come home Charley Patton is a moving and an imaginative memoir documenting the Civil Rights Era and contemporary southern culture. Intricately layered and deeply arresting, Ralph Lemon's research on the African American experience intertwines personal anecdotes and family remembrances with diaristic accounts of the making of a dance, as Lemon journeys the mythic roads of migration—visiting the sites of lynchings, following the paths of Civil Rights marches, and meeting the descendants of early blues musicians. Come home Charley Patton is a rich, transcendent text, and a historically-charged meditation on memory in America. It is a formidable finale for the Geography trilogy (including Geography and Tree), three books connected thematically by racial identity and the related dance projects choreographed by Lemon. Generously illustrated with family photos, original art, and photos of the performance, the book will take its place in the canon of great African American writing.

  1945 - The Dawn Came Up Like...

  Tom Pocock

  In 1945 Tom Pocock travelled widely and saw the final collapse of the German armies; the horror of concentration camps and destroyed cities; retribution reaching war criminals; and the unpredictable strangers from the east, the Red Army. In Berlin, he climbed through the ruins of Hitler's Chancellery. In Vienna, he roistered with the Russians only to be arrested by them on a trip to Budapest. By the end of the year, he had paid his first visit to the El Dorado of that now distant world, New York, the glittering, happy, prosperous, democratic center of hopes and affections of the Western World. 
   
   
   
  Here indeed is the very form and pressure of the time: the awful stench of death and wholesale destruction; the casual murders and cruelties where over large tracts of territory law and order had collapsed; worst of all, the concentration camps still peopled by the ghosts of human beings, starved, tortured, terrified, and degraded. 
   
   
   
  Tom Pocock's friends had served and died in the war from which he himself had been invalided, but when Hitler was defeated, he shared their feelings of exultation and relief. He was in London for VE Day and his account of it is not easily forgotten.

  This book is not for the faint of heart.
   
  Drugs, gangs, and violence form the backdrop of this gripping tale that follows a young girl caught at crossroads of her life. On the cusp of her twenties, with adulthood looming just ahead, she discovers just how much a detour can derail someone’s path. As our heroine faces multiple 
  challenges and navigates through unexpected events at every turn, life unfolds before her eyes in mysterious and unpredictable ways.
   
  Set in the 1990s, when grunge was at its dirtiest and hard rock blackened the ears and clothes of youth, this story follows suit with its own dark and grime soundtrack. Before the age of the internet and fast revolutions, this narrative takes on a much slower pace, sauntering through simpler days. Told as truthfully as possible with much grit and humility, this book is written for the underdogs, for the broken, and for those who get knocked down but never give up; for those who crawled their way out of the belly of Hell and for those we loved so dearly who died trying.
