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.

    During a bus ride with a group of fellow college students, Jenny Booth Potter came to a life-changing realization. She decided that racism in all its forms—in policies and systems, in organizations and churches, in neighborhoods and families–could no longer be tolerated. And even though Jenny didn't know what to do about racism, she was certain of one thing: doing nothing is no longer an option. That declaration Jenny made to her peers was more than seven words uttered on a bus. It was a vow, a lifetime commitment to seek racial justice.
    With candor and humility, Jenny shares her very imperfect but relentless journey of growing in awareness of racism, of reckoning with her own white privilege, and of learning how to be an antiracism advocate alongside her young family. If you're anything like Jenny was on that bus—overwhelmed by the enormity of racism and compelled to do something, but uncertain if you can actually make any difference—then this book is for you. Join Jenny and see for yourself what everyday antiracism looks like.

    This book is intended for readers who are looking for an introduction to the confusing diversity of German literature. The chronological order chosen is best suited for this purpose because, in contrast to topic- or genre-oriented ordering procedures, it shows a genesis and traces the genealogy of German literature. The fact that Goethe's novel Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre would most likely have looked completely different without Hans Jakob Christoffel von Grimmelshausen's Simplicissimus can be shown most easily and effectively in the context of a chronologically presented journey through time. And this is only one of many examples, especially in the field of poetry quite a few more could be found.
    
    "He who knows how to read holds the key to great deeds, to undreamed-of possibilities," Aldous Huxley once said. This book is intended to open up some of these possibilities for you.

    “Davy Crockett buffs, Tennessee bibliophiles, genealogists, folklorists, historians, and the general reader should find this carefully researched and authoritative edition, which extricates the man from the myth, a valuable addition to the frontier history, biography, and literature of Tennessee and America.” 
    –Robert E. Dalton, Tennessee Historical Quarterly. 
     
    “This book. . . will go a long way toward separating the myths that grew up around Crockett and the actual facts. This will enable the reader to acquire a greater appreciation for this long-neglected Tennessean.” 
    –Sarah McMahon, Historical Review and Antique Digest 
     
    Authored in 1834 by David Crockett (1786–1836), with some editorial assistance from his congressional colleague from Kentucky, Thomas Chilton, the Narrative of the Life of David Crockett of the State of Tennessee is one of the most significant documents of the American pioneer experience in the first half of the nineteenth century. It describes the author's life from his first memories in eastern Tennessee through his progressive moves westward, his participation in the Creek War, his hunting experiences, and his political service in the Tennessee House of Representatives and the U.S. Congress. The book closes with Crockett's reelection to his final term in Congress (1833–1835), shortly before his fateful journey to Texas and his death at the Alamo in 1836.

    Nietzsche's The Birth of Tragedy

    In this, his first book, he developed a way of thinking about the arts that unites the Greek gods Apollo and Dionysus as the central symbol of human existence. Although tragedy serves as the focus of this work, music, visual art, dance, and the other arts can also be viewed using Nietzsche’s analysis and integration of the Apollonian and the Dionysian.
     
    The Birth of Tragedy stands alongside Aristotle’s Poetics as essential works for all who seek to understand poetry and its relationship to human life.
