The History of Persecution from the Patriarchal Age to the Reign of George II - Exploring the Roots and Impact of Historical Persecution

Samuel Chandler

Summary

In 'The History of Persecution, from the Patriarchal Age, to the Reign of George II,' Samuel Chandler presents a sweeping analysis of the socio-political dynamics underlying religious persecution throughout history. Using a chronological framework, this erudite work examines the patterns of oppression against various religious groups, from ancient societies to the early modern period. Chandler's prose is characterized by its rigorous attention to detail and a commitment to presenting a balanced narrative, which invites readers to consider the ethical implications of religious intolerance across different epochs. Notably, his examination reveals the cyclical nature of persecution, wherein historical parallels resonate within contemporary issues of faith and freedom. Samuel Chandler, a prominent Dissenting minister and theologian of the 18th century, was deeply influenced by the religious climate of his time, particularly the struggles faced by nonconformists in England. His own experiences with persecution informed his scholarly pursuits, prompting him to explore broader themes of liberty and justice. Combined with his academic background and religious convictions, Chandler felt compelled to illuminate the often-ignored historical injustices that could inspire reflection and change among his contemporaries. Readers seeking a comprehensive and thought-provoking exploration of the patterns of persecution across history will find Chandler's work invaluable. This book serves as both a historical record and a call to action against ongoing injustices, resonating powerfully in today's world. Scholars, students, and anyone interested in the evolution of religious freedom will appreciate Chandler'Äôs meticulous research and compelling narrative.

Lost in Work - Escaping Capitalism

Amelia Horgan

***Evening Standard's best non-fiction 2021*** 
 
'A brilliant, searing exposé of the lies underpinning work' - Owen Jones 
 
'Work hard, get paid.' It's simple. Self-evident. But it's also a lie—at least for most of us. For people today, the old assumptions are crumbling; hard work in school no longer guarantees a secure, well-paying job in the future. Far from a gateway to riches and fulfilment, 'work' means precarity, anxiety and alienation. 
 
In this audiobook, beautifully narrated by award-winning actor Libby Mai, Amelia Horgan poses three big questions: what is work? How does it harm us? And what can we do about it? While abolishing work altogether is not the answer, Lost in Work shows that when we are able to take control of our workplaces, we become less miserable, and can work towards the transformative goal of experimenting with 'work' as we know it. 
Whether you listen on your commute, or while working from home, Lost in Work will empower you to see beyond the systematic problems you face at your job.

Telling Lies - Clues to Deceit...

Paul Ekman

From breaking the law to breaking a promise, how do people lie and how can they be caught? 
 
 
 
In this revised edition, Paul Ekman, a renowned expert in emotions research and nonverbal communication, adds a new chapter to present his latest research on his groundbreaking inquiry into lying and the methods for uncovering lies. Ekman has figured out the most important behavioral clues to deceit; he has developed a one-hour self-instructional program that trains people to observe and understand "micro expressions"; and he has done research that identifies the facial expressions that show whether someone is likely to become violent—a self-instructional program to train recognition of these dangerous signals has also been developed. 
 
 
 
Telling Lies describes how lies vary in form and how they can differ from other types of misinformation that can reveal untruths. It discusses how a person's body language, voice, and facial expressions can give away a lie but still fool professional lie hunters—even judges, police officers, drug enforcement agents, and Secret Service agents.
