Summary

In "The Making of a Bigot," Rose Macaulay explores the intricate psychological and societal mechanisms that shape prejudice and intolerance. Through sharp, incisive prose and a blend of satire and social commentary, Macaulay dissects the various factors that contribute to bigotry, examining the interplay of culture, religion, and personal experiences. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century England, the book serves as both a reflection and a critique of the era's prevailing attitudes, revealing how deeply ingrained biases can manifest in individuals and communities alike. Rose Macaulay, an accomplished author and intellectual of her time, was known for her keen observations on society and her ability to address complex themes with wit and eloquence. Her own background as a member of a progressive family, coupled with her immersion in literary and feminist movements, undoubtedly influenced her pursuit of social justice and understanding. Macaulay's experiences as an outspoken critic of discrimination inform her incisive analysis in this work, making it a poignant critique of human behavior and societal norms. This book is a must-read for those keen on understanding the roots of intolerance and the implications of bigotry in both historical and contemporary contexts. Macaulay's eloquent writing and thought-provoking narratives challenge readers to confront their own beliefs and assumptions, making it an essential addition to the library of anyone interested in social science, literature, or human rights.

Hudson Asher is my brother's best friend and my number one enemy—I think. 
 
One accident later, and I can't remember the last three years or the exact reason why my childhood nemesis and I still refuse to hold a civil conversation. 
 
Heck, I didn't even know he had moved back to our small town of Lovers until I woke up in the hospital and he was the only one sitting next to my bed. 
 
Suddenly, I'm living a life that doesn't sound like me. My brother is an overprotective babysitter, and I only want to be treated normally. There's only one person who doesn't treat me like broken glass: Hudson. 
 
Appearing on his doorstep one night and inviting myself to stay for a while wasn't part of his plans, but it turns out the former hockey player whose career ended way too soon might need me in his life just as much as I need him. 
 
We can team up and help each other heal, but what happens when or if my memory comes back? Which version of Hudson will I choose to keep: the one I can't stand or the one I can't live without?

The planet is dying, a mega-corporation controls everything, but at least you don’t have to work another day in your life, not when an Organic AI controls your body every night. 
Eric Noble is beginning to realize that nothing makes a Day feel more like a complete waste of space than having all the time in the world. Detective Noble is starting to see the truth that he and the other Nights are nothing more than programmable slaves living inside someone else. 
After eight uneasy years of sharing the same body, a chance encounter with an old friend changes everything. Now, Eric’s memory is missing, a woman has been murdered, and if things weren’t bad enough, he’s the prime suspect in his own Night’s homicide investigation. 
Two minds, one body, and a society on the knife’s edge, what they do next will determine the fate of both worlds. 
Partition: Critical Era is the first installment in Kevin Kane’s sweeping sci-fi mystery series.

    A foundling of mysterious parentage brought up by Mr. Allworthy on his country estate, Tom Jones is deeply in love with the seemingly unattainable Sophia Western, the beautiful daughter of the neighboring squire though he sometimes succumbs to the charms of the local girls. When Tom is banished to make his own fortune and Sophia follows him to London to escape an arranged marriage, the adventure begins. A vivid Hogarthian panorama of eighteenth-century life, spiced with danger and intrigue, bawdy exuberance and good-natured authorial interjections, Tom Jones is one of the greatest and most ambitious comic novels in English literature.
BOOK 8: As we are now entering upon a book in which the course of our history will oblige us to relate some matters of a more strange and surprizing kind than any which have hitherto occurred, it may not be amiss, in the prolegomenous or introductory chapter, to say something of that species of writing which is called the marvellous.
