Sinopsis

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.

    ADHD Behind Closed Doors is a heartfelt, unfiltered look at what it really means to parent a child with ADHD. It’s not a guidebook or a list of strategies. It’s a raw, honest account of the emotional reality behind the closed doors of families navigating neurodivergence. 
    Told through journal entries, personal stories, and the voice of a mother who has lived every word, this book shines a light on the moments we don’t often talk about, the shame, the guilt, the exhaustion, the deep love, and the quiet resilience it takes to keep going. 
    Mirka Frommenwiler doesn’t offer easy answers. She offers solidarity. With fierce honesty and deep compassion, she names what often goes unnamed, giving voice to the emotional truth of parenting a child who doesn't fit the mould. 
    If you’ve ever felt alone, overwhelmed, or unsure whether anyone else really understands, this book is for you.

    Edward II - The Unconventional King

    He is one of the most reviled English kings in history. He drove his kingdom to the brink of civil war a dozen times in less than twenty years. He allowed his male lovers to rule the kingdom. He led a great army to the most ignominious military defeat in English history. His wife took a lover and invaded his kingdom, and he ended his reign wandering around Wales with a handful of followers, pursued by an army. He was the first king of England forced to abdicate his throne. Popular legend has it that he died screaming impaled on a red-hot poker, but in fact the time and place of his death are shrouded in mystery. His life reads like an Elizabethan tragedy, full of passionate doomed love, bloody revenge, jealousy, hatred, vindictiveness, and obsession. He was Edward II, and this book tells his story. Using almost exclusively fourteenth-century sources and Edward's own letters and speeches wherever possible, Kathryn Warner strips away the myths which have been created about him over the centuries, and provides a far more accurate and vivid picture of him than has previously been seen.

    Some would call this an autobiography. Others would say it’s a hell of a story. I call it my life. Living it had become the norm, but choosing to write about it wasn’t easy. It’s one thing to react to whatever life throws at you, and another to reflect on it. I’ve been sentenced to life imprisonment, and confined to a prison within a prison, for a crime I did not commit. Being outspoken and relentless in fighting for justice had become my only choice, and as it turns out, my redemption.  My personal life, on the other hand, I have chosen to keep private. Until now.  
     
    For the first time ever, this book will walk you through my improbable personal journey with brutal honesty. The good, the bad and the ugly. My story, combined with an exceptional journey to the forefront of investigative journalism remains unparalleled.  As the host of the critically-acclaimed Netflix series ‘inside the World’s Toughest Prisons,’ I continue to do what no-one else has ever done before.  
     
    I am Raphael Rowe and my career was born as a result of spending 12 years in prison for crimes I did not commit. 
     
    All this has inspired me to try to make positive changes in prison systems throughout the world. I believe passionately that we can make such changes, and this is why I have set up the Raphael Rowe Foundation. Please join us @  https://raphaelrowefoundation.org/about-me/

    Susan Morrow was born in Halifax in Nova Scotia in 1864.   
     
    Little is known of her life although she preferred to write under pseudonyms, one of which she shared with her sister, or as S Carleton, an abbreviated version of her name which gave the illusion of a male identity presumably to give her books a more rugged and male personality given their content. 
     
    Her books only seem to have been published from 1900 onwards when she was in her mid-30’s by which time she had married and became Susan Carleton Jones. 
     
    She died in 1926.   
     
    In ‘The Lame Priest, a story of life on harsh terrain is amplified by the possibility that a werewolf lurks nearby.
