Sinossi

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.

The Shortest History of The Crown

Stephen Bates

'There have been scores of books about the monarchy but few, if any, as fearless and perceptive as this is... Bates tells it like it is, covering every aspect with rare humour and intelligence. I couldn't recommend it more highly.' LITERARY REVIEW on ROYALTY INCAmidst the turbulence and invasions, upheaval and dissent that characterise British history, one thing has remained remarkably stable. Although there are other monarchies, Britain's Crown stands out due to the continuity of its traditions, and its ability to adapt.There's a reason why schoolchildren still learn about the Kings and Queens: it's their power struggles and subtle compromises that have shaped the nation we inhabit today. When members of the Royal family go on 'walkabouts', they do so because monarchs stretching back to King Alfred understood the need to be seen by their subjects, and the dire consequences of remaining aloof (or abroad). When they give interviews, or accept taxes, they do so as part of a long series of engagements with other, almost-equally powerful operators: Church, Parliament, the nobility.In this sprightly commentary on the Crown's 1,800-year-long story, Stephen Bates provides a dazzling insight into Royal custom and ritual, whilst depicting the individuals behind the myth with compassion and wit. And as our ageing Queen prepares to pass the baton, he asks us all to consider: could we ever do without the Crown?

A Taste for Poison - Eleven...

Neil Bradbury Ph.D.

This program includes an epilogue and acknowledgements read by the author“A fascinating tale of poisons and poisonous deeds which both educates and entertains.” --Kathy ReichsAs any reader or listener of murder mysteries can tell you, poison is one of the most enduring—and popular—weapons of choice for a scheming murderer. It can be slipped into a drink, smeared onto the tip of an arrow or the handle of a door, even filtered through the air we breathe. But how exactly do these poisons work to break our bodies down, and what can we learn from the damage they inflict?In a fascinating blend of popular science, medical history, and true crime, Dr. Neil Bradbury explores this most morbidly captivating method of murder from a cellular level. Alongside real-life accounts of murderers and their crimes—some notorious, some forgotten, some still unsolved—are the equally compelling stories of the poisons involved: eleven molecules of death that work their way through the human body and, paradoxically, illuminate the way in which our bodies function.Drawn from historical records and current news headlines, A Taste for Poison weaves together the tales of spurned lovers, shady scientists, medical professionals and political assassins to show how the precise systems of the body can be impaired to lethal effect through the use of poison. From the deadly origins of the gin & tonic cocktail to the arsenic-laced wallpaper in Napoleon’s bedroom, A Taste for Poison leads listeners on a fascinating tour of the intricate, complex systems that keep us alive—or don’t.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin's Press

The 50 50 Solution - The...

Emma Johnson

It's hard for everyone when parents split up―but the end of living together doesn't need to mean the end of a functional family. Part of the reason divorces are so traumatic for the kids involved is because of our child custody system, which sets everyone up for failure. Throughout the country, the default arrangement is for Mom to get majority time with the kids (and most of the responsibility of caring for them), for Dad to become an occasional visitor (and perhaps saddled with massive child support payments), and for the kids to lose the stability, structure, and confidence of knowing they have two equally committed, loving parents. But it doesn't have to be this way! 
 
In The 50/50 Solution, creator of the Wealthy Single Mommy community Emma Johnson showcases the robust research proving that, in the vast majority of cases, equal timesharing is the best outcome for everyone in a family where the adults no longer live together. The 50/50 Solution will show you that equal parenting time leads to: better physical, emotional, and mental health for children of divorce; higher career earnings for single mothers; fathers who are more engaged and whose rights as parents are preserved; far less parental and legal conflict; and a progressive, forward-thinking cultural norm that promotes gender and racial equality for all families, regardless of their configuration.
