Sinossi

The Collected Works of Robert G. Ingersoll presents a comprehensive anthology of the renowned orator and outspoken advocate for secularism and rational thought. Ingersoll's literary style is notable for its eloquence and fervor, characterized by impassioned speeches and essays that engage with themes of religious skepticism, human rights, and the pursuit of knowledge. This collection situates itself within the broader context of 19th-century American intellectualism, reflecting the Enlightenment values of reason and liberty while challenging the prevailing religious dogmas of the time. Robert Green Ingersoll, often known as the 'Great Agnostic,' was a prominent figure in the secular movement. His background as a lawyer and his eloquence in public speaking allowed him to reach diverse audiences, championing the importance of free thought and scientific inquiry. Influenced by his experiences in the turbulent post-Civil War era, Ingersoll's writings emerged as a counter-narrative to the dominant religious ideologies, providing a voice for the marginalized within a society grappling with modernity and progress. This anthology is an essential read for those interested in the foundations of secularism and the evolution of American thought. Ingersoll's insightful critiques and affirmations of humanism invite readers to reflect on their beliefs and the role of religion in society, making it a vital contribution to any scholarly collection.

These “Managers" hinder the spiritual development of our race. However, there is hope. Humanity’s cosmic awakening is being supported by multiple extraterrestrial races working closely with the author and humans around the globe. These helpful Beings of the Stars are of light, in the light and for the light. They intend to remind us that we are all one. 
    The Torah Project is part of that endeavor. The project is made up of dozens of monoliths and circles in resonance 3,6,9. It is made up of hundreds of geometries that vibrate in the sacred.

    NHOJ - A Memoir That Started...

    As a journalist and author, John Lazenby has spent more than forty years chronicling the tales of others. But for much of his life he closely guarded his own compelling story – a long and challenging struggle with childhood dyslexia, unable to read or write at a time when neurodiversity was rarely considered or recognised. Sent away to boarding school at the age of seven, John's future pivoted on the life-changing intervention of a teacher who finally understood the boy whom no one else could teach.
    In this warm and poignant memoir, John traces his misadventures through the unforgiving education system of the 1960s, when illiteracy was viewed as a character defect that could be rectified by stern discipline and regular beatings, and takes us on an evocative visit to the not-so-distant past, introducing the kind and eccentric family who never gave up on him – and the array of teachers who did.
    We follow the intrepid progress of a boy who could write only one word – his name, spelled backwards – to a man who finally found his true calling after a series of setbacks and false starts, only to make the late discovery that he had travelled through life unaware of a second neurodiversity, hiding in plain sight. Heart-warming, hilarious, raw and shocking, NHOJ is a tribute to overcoming challenges, ignoring barriers and holding on to hope in a world that initially seems to have no place for you.

    Cicero - A Very Short...

    Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BCE) was one of the most influential figures in late republican Rome, a moment of great social, political, and cultural unrest that would lead to the transition from republic to empire. Cicero was a statesman who held the highest political office, the consulship, and then suffered politically motivated exile. His career was grounded in his continued success as an orator: his speeches were famous during his lifetime and, together with his rhetorical treatises, shaped the practice and theory of public speaking for centuries to come. His ideas influenced early church fathers, Renaissance humanists, and Enlightenment thinkers and his dramatic death captured imagination of his contemporaries, who saw it as standing for the death of the republic and eloquence.In this Very Short Introduction, Yelena Baraz presents a concise and integrated account of Cicero's life and accomplishments, locating him within the political and intellectual contexts of his time. It shows that in all his pursuits Cicero saw himself as a mediating figure: between theory and practice, philosophy and politics, Greek and Roman, and among political interest groups. Baraz tackles each area of Cicero's activity on its own terms while showing how overarching ideas and priorities permeate the apparently separate endeavors.
