  O Captain My Captain - Walt...

  This beautifully illustrated children’s book explores how Walt Whitman was affected by the Civil War and inspired by President Lincoln. 
   
  O Captain, My Captain tells the story of one of America’s greatest poets and how he was inspired by one of America’s greatest presidents. Whitman and Lincoln shared the national stage in Washington, DC, during the Civil War. Though the two men never met, Whitman would often see Lincoln’s carriage on the road. The president was never far from the poet’s mind, and Lincoln’s “grace under pressure” was something Whitman returned to again and again in his poetry.  
   
  Whitman witnessed Lincoln’s second inauguration and mourned along with America as Lincoln’s funeral train wound its way across the landscape to his final resting place. The book includes the poem “O Captain! My Captain!” and an excerpt from “When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom’d,” as well as brief bios of Lincoln and Whitman, a timeline of Civil War events, endnotes, and a bibliography.

  The Varieties of Religious...

  "The Varieties of Religious Experience is a generous and endlessly insightful book about human nature." — The New York Times
  
  "The most notable of all books in the field of the psychology of religion and probably destined to be the most influential book written on religion in the 20th century." — Psychology today
  
  
  Published in 1902 and quickly established itself as a classic, this book is a work that opens a new era of thinking. The study made by William James brings us a new definition of the word Religion which "shall mean for us the feelings, acts, and experiences of individual men in their solitude, so far as they apprehend themselves to stand in relation to whatever they may consider the divine." Therefore, a religious experience appears to be a subjective experience which is interpreted within a religious framework.
  
  This book is fully annotated by the author (more than 300 footnotes) and contains a short biography.
