  The true story of a woman hanged in colonial Portsmouth for burying her stillborn out-of-wedlock baby. 
   
   
    
  On a cold December morning in 1768, thirty-one-year-old Ruth Blay approached the gallows for her execution. Standing on the high ground in the northwest corner of what is now Portsmouth's old South Cemetery, she would have had a clear view across the pasture to the harbor and open sea. 
   
   
    
  The eighteenth-century hanging of a schoolteacher for concealing the birth of a child out of wedlock has appeared in local legend over the last few centuries, but the full account of Ruth's story has never been told. Drawing on over two years of investigative research, author Carolyn Marvin brings to light the dramatic details of Ruth's life and the cruel injustice of colonial Portsmouth's moral code. As Marvin uncovers the real flesh-and-blood woman who suffered the ultimate punishment, her listeners come to understand Ruth as an individual and a woman of her time.

  Was Muhammad Crazy?

  Through a careful psychological re-reading of the Qur'an and other biographical sources about Muhammad, the author identifies the pathological symptoms of the prophet of Islam. His diagnosis is unambiguous: the man suffered from a querulous paranoia with dissociative identity disorder. 
  The author shows that Mohammed identified himself with previous prophets (Jesus and Moses in particular), whom he plagiarized. Adapting their words and deeds to the culture of the Arab world, he imposed these new doctrines on his people primarily through direct aggression and political manipulation. Yet, Islam was phenomenally successful during his lifetime and over the centuries. 
  At this point, another question arises: How did Muhammad manage to convince the masses? The author then analyzes the personality of the submissive people and the success of this religion through the centuries. The author also deconstructs all the scientific and philosophical presuppositions behind the Muslim religion (cosmology, biology, psychology, etc.). Muhammad's moral and political discourse is confronted with its own contradictions.

  Understanding Nietzsche

  Who was Nietzsche? What did he think? What was his journey, from his youth to his maturity?
  If we had to describe Nietzsche's philosophy, we would call it the philosophy of joy. Contrary to the clichés that weigh on his name, Nietzsche is the philosopher of creativity and life. From an aesthetic point of view, he revolutionized the theory of form. From the point of view of the theory of knowledge, he introduced creativity into the heart of the processes of knowledge. And from the point of view of the theory of being, he revived the movement of reality. 
  Nietzsche developed a true philosophical system, perspectivism, which is open, dynamic and fertile. These are assets that make Nietzsche's thinking all the more fundamental and relevant.
