Sinopsis

In "Lectures of Col. R. G. Ingersoll - Latest," prominent agnostic and political orator Robert Green Ingersoll presents a series of compelling lectures that delve into subjects ranging from religion and science to social justice and human rights. Ingersoll's literary style—marked by eloquence and vigorous rhetoric—places a strong emphasis on logic and reasoned argumentation, making complex ideas accessible to a wide audience. Set against the backdrop of the late 19th century, a time marked by rapid scientific advancement and shifting societal norms, these lectures challenge established religious doctrines while advocating for a society grounded in ethical secularism. Robert Green Ingersoll (1833-1899), often referred to as the 'Great Agnostic,' emerged from a background steeped in both law and politics, serving as a Union colonel during the Civil War. His progressive views were cultivated through personal experiences of intolerance and his relentless pursuit of truth, which compelled him to question the dogmas of organized religion. Ingersoll was a passionate advocate for human rights, women's suffrage, and the separation of church and state, making these lectures not only a reflection of his beliefs but also a rallying cry for transformative social change. This book is highly recommended for those seeking a deeper understanding of the interplay between religion and rational thought, and for anyone interested in the evolution of social and political discourse. Ingersoll's incisive wit and passionate arguments will inspire readers to critically engage with the foundational issues of belief and ethics that remain relevant today.

    From surfer and writer Stuart Holmes Coleman, Eddie Would Go is the compelling story of Eddie Aikau's legendary life and legacy, a pipeline into the exhilarating world of surfing, and an important chronicle of the Hawaiian Renaissance and the emergence of modern Hawaii. 
     
     
     
    In the 1970s, a decade before bumper stickers and T-shirts bearing the phrase Eddie Would Go began popping up all over the Hawaiian islands and throughout the surfing world, Eddie Aikau was proving what it meant to be a "waterman." As a fearless and gifted surfer, he rode the biggest waves in the world; as the first and most famous Waimea Bay lifeguard on the North Shore, he saved hundreds of lives from its treacherous waters; and as a proud Hawaiian, he sacrificed his life to save the crew aboard the voyaging canoe Hokule'a.

    Experiencing abuse and neglect in childhood can lead to adverse outcomes in adulthood. 
    Adult survivors of untreated child abuse often suffer a range of long-term detrimental effects that adversely affect their functioning in numerous areas of their lives. Unfortunately, the enduring impact of chronic abuse in childhood is not well understood. This book is focused on increasing understanding of the long-term effects of traumatic childhood experiences from both psychological and physiological perspectives. Additionally, this book explores whether pathology frequently seen in adult survivors is a direct or secondary effect of their abuse. Along with scientific and theoretical text-based data, solicited written narratives by an adult survivor of childhood physical, sexual, and psychological abuse are analyzed utilizing hermeneutic methodology with elements of grounded theory to discover relevant connections between the fields of neuroscience, memory research, attachment theory, and trauma research. The relevance of findings of the diagnosis of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder is discussed, and the implications for clinical practice are explored.

    Can running make me a more moral person? Can striving to be a better person make me a better runner? 
     
     
     
    In The Examined Run, philosopher and ultramarathon runner Sabrina B. Little asks whether running can be a laboratory for developing our character. She looks at the key ideas in virtue ethics—virtue, vice, exemplarism, moral emotions, and competition—and brings them into conversation with her experience in training and racing. Little pushes against the frequent conversations about ethics and sport that focus on the negative—doping and other forms of cheating or on simplistic expressions like "no pain, no gain." She argues that these ideas don't address the rich picture of how athletics inform a good life, and sport's relationship to acts of justice or courage. A good athlete is not just one who avoids cheating—rather, they perform feats of perseverance and courage, and succeed by working to develop their natural capacities. Little employs her own experiences in training, coaching, and racing in world class ultramarathons to reveal how athletics and virtue are deeply interconnected.
