Summary

In 'The Works of Robert G. Ingersoll (Vol. 1-12)', Ingersoll presents a comprehensive array of his lectures, essays, and writings that champion rational thought, secularism, and humanism. His eloquent prose defies the conventions of his time, employing a fervent oratory style that engages the reader through wit and passionate reasoning. The collection covers a spectrum of topics, including religion, ethics, politics, and science, reflecting the intellectual climate of the late 19th century, where skepticism towards traditional beliefs gained momentum amid the burgeoning ideas of the Enlightenment and the rise of modern science. Robert Green Ingersoll, often referred to as the 'Great Agnostic,' was a prominent orator, lawyer, and political figure whose advocacy for free thought, civil liberties, and separation of church and state positioned him as a key voice of his era. His background in law and his exposure to the socio-political upheavals of the post-Civil War United States greatly influenced his ideas, which he articulated with passionate conviction through his extensive writings and public speaking engagements. This monumental compilation is essential for readers interested in the foundations of modern freethought and secular philosophy. Ingersoll's incisive critiques and engaging rhetoric not only challenge dogmatic beliefs but also inspire critical thinking, making this work a vital addition to any library of political thought and philosophy.

    The Creole Rebellion tells the suspenseful story of a successful mutiny on board the slave ship Creole. En route for a New Orleans slave-auction block in November 1841, nineteen captives mutinied, killing one man and injuring several others. After taking control of the vessel, mutineer Madison Washington forced the crewmen to sail to the Bahamas. Despite much local hysteria upon their arrival, all of the 135 slaves aboard the ship won their freedom there. 
 
 
 
The revolt significantly fueled and amplified the slave debate within a divided nation that was already hurtling toward a Civil War. While this is a book about the United States confronting the ugly and tumultuous issue of slavery, it is also about the 135 enslaved men and women who were unwilling to take their oppression any longer and rose up to free themselves in a bloody fight. Part history, part adventure, and part legal drama, Bruce Chadwick chronicles the most successful slave revolt in the pages of American history.

Excessive worrying is a problem that affects everyone at some point in their lives, but for some people it can become a lifelong affliction.

    In 2018, I suffered a massive cerebral stroke at the age of 24 after cracking my neck. I woke up in a hospital with little knowledge of myself, the world, or any grounding in reality because of the damage to my brain along with left-sided paralysis. I am not the person I was before and though I want to be them again I can't and must bury them, grieve, and start over. This is how I came to terms with my new existence while letting go of my past, not because I want to but because it is a requirement to move forward.

    At the core of this debut collection is a question – what is worth holding onto?
Through poetic experiments that blend the academic and the artistic, Rhiya Pau queries complex characters and tender landscapes. Routes journeys from Ba's kitchen in Sonia Gardens to Independence hour in Delhi, across the pink shores of Nakuru, to meet a painter on Lee High Road.
Celebrating fifty years since her community arrived in the UK, Pau chronicles the migratory histories of her ancestors and simultaneously lays bare the conflicts of identity that arise from being a member of the East African-Indian diaspora. In this multilingual discourse exhibiting vast formal range, Pau wrestles with language, narrative and memory, daring to navigate their collective fallibilities to architect her own identity.
'[Routes]...holds up to the light the wisdom of the past, and asks what else is passed down along with it...a work of humane intelligence, formal experiment and linguistic verve' - Sarah Howe, Judge of Eric Gregory Awards 2022
