Summary

What if one short book could ignite a revolution?

Published in 1776, Common Sense by Thomas Paine is one of the most influential political works in history. Written in clear, direct language for everyday readers, it challenged monarchy, exposed the flaws of inherited power, and made a powerful case for American independence.

Paine's words transformed public opinion and helped unite ordinary citizens behind the cause of freedom. His arguments for liberty, self-government, and natural rights remain powerful and relevant today.

This eBook presents the original text in a clear, accessible format, allowing readers to experience the bold ideas that shaped the birth of the United States.

Inside, you'll explore:

A direct and persuasive argument for independence

A critique of monarchy and hereditary rule

Early expressions of democratic and republican ideals

A foundational text of American political thought

Required reading in schools and studied worldwide, Common Sense remains essential for understanding the American Revolution and the principles of freedom it championed.

    Sketches of the country people of Sligo and Galway and what they told Yeats about the other world: a man who lost his shadow, a woman taken by the fairies, a piper, a ghost at a crossroads. Yeats collected them in the 1890s while writing his early poems and set them down without explaining them away. It is the book in which Irish folklore stops being quaint and starts being evidence. Sixty plates by Walter Osborne and Ernest Waterlow record Irish town and country life from 1771 to 1918, the same world Yeats walked through while gathering these stories.

    An indispensable guide to parents of hockey hopefuls
    		 
    At a time of great change in hockey, Justin Davis exposes the dark underbelly of the journey from the minors to the big leagues 
    		 
    Hockey culture: it’s a commonly used phrase inside the game, glorifying sacrifice, toughness, loyalty, and a sense of identity. Justin Davis viewed this culture as something he was lucky enough to experience. After all, he’d won a Memorial Cup after leading the tournament in scoring, and he’d been drafted by the Washington Capitals. “In my mind,” he says, “I was the normal one.” Unfortunately, after stepping outside the game, he began to recognize the racism, sexual abuse and bullying that was so deeply ingrained in the sport. And then, as his own children grew into teenagers, the curtain was pulled back, the memories came rushing forward, and he was horrified: “Why was I naked in a bus bathroom for four hours with seven teammates? What happened to my brain, and why can’t I remember the simplest things? How did I end up living in a basement where the strangers upstairs were clearly engaged in domestic abuse?”
    		 
    As it navigates the sport’s darkest corridors, Conflicted Scars shares the story of the common Canadian player and offers a guide for parents who need to know how and why a typical teenager with NHL dreams, from a small town, now lives anxiously, introvertedly, and battling emotional detachment.

    The Young Volcano EXPLORERS" is a complete story in itself, but forms the second volume of a line issued under the general title of the "Pan-American Series."When I began this series of tales I had in mind to acquaint my young readers with some of the sights to be seen in the three Americas,—especially such portions as lie outside of the United States. In the first volume, called "Lost on the Orinoco," I told of the sight-seeing and adventures of five American lads, who, in company with their academy professor, who is also a great traveler and hunter, journey to Venezuela, our sister Republic on the north-east coast of South America. The boys visit several principal cities, inspect cocoa and coffee plantations as well as gold and silver mines, and then explore the mighty river already named.In the present volume the scene is shifted from Venezuela to the West Indies, that group of islands of which Porto Rico has already become the property of the United States. Because of the recent Spanish-American War, and the still more recent volcanic disturbances in Martinique and St. Vincent, these islands are of unusual interest to us. In this book the boys and their instructor sail from Venezuela to Jamaica, stopping at Kingston, and then go to Havana, Cuba. In Cuba several places of importance are visited, and then the trip is continued to Hayti and to Porto Rico, where the party travel overland from San Juan to Ponce. At the latter city word is received that the fathers of two of the boys have gone to St. Pierre, Martinique, and the party start for that point, only to encounter the effects of the volcanic eruption when still far at sea. But Martinique is visited, nevertheless, and later on St. Vincent also, and in spite of the many dangers, all ends happily.In penning this tale I have, as usual, tried to be as accurate as possible when giving historical or geographical details. The latest and best American and Spanish authorities have been consulted, and, in the case of the disasters at Martinique and St. Vincent, I have read with care the reports of all who suffered and escaped, and of those who have since visited these spots of interest.Once again I wish to thank the many thousands who have perused my former works. May the present volume fulfil their every expectation....FROM THE BOOKS.
