Sinopse

"Six Years in the Prisons of England" presents a harrowing yet illuminating exploration of the prison system in England during the mid-19th century. Written as a compilation by various authors, this collection offers first-hand accounts and poignant analyses of the grim realities faced by incarcerated individuals. The literary style oscillates between stark realism and impassioned rhetoric, underscoring themes of injustice and humanity amidst a backdrop of systemic oppression. This text serves not only as a vivid historical document but also as a critique of contemporary penal practices, reflecting the growing movement for prison reform during that era. The contributors of this collection represent a mélange of reformers, former inmates, and social critics, each bringing unique perspectives shaped by their experiences within the penal system. Their backgrounds—often characterized by activism, legal advocacy, or personal suffering—infuse the work with authenticity and urgency. Collectively, they challenge the status quo, advocating for humane treatment and rehabilitation of prisoners, thereby linking their cause to broader social justice movements in Victorian England. This compelling anthology is recommended for readers interested in social reform, penal history, and the evolution of human rights discourse. "Six Years in the Prisons of England" not only enriches our understanding of a tumultuous period in British history but also resonates with ongoing discussions about justice and morality, making it a vital addition to both literary and historical studies.

  • Don't Believe Everything You Think - How to stop making decisions that let you down lead you astray and keep you from success - cover

    Don't Believe Everything You...

    When it comes to making great decisions, the way you think about things is usually a lot more influential than what you actually think.
    If you ever hired a person who 'looks the part', dated someone who 'gives you a good feeling', voted for the party that 'speaks the most sense' or got into an investment that 'cannot be missed', only to realise you made a horrible mistake, you might have wondered how you ever talked yourself into it.
    Yet, still bearing the bruises, you're likely to make exactly the same decision the next time.
    The beliefs that guide your ideas and the instincts that drive your actions, are all informed by your unconscious biases, and literally every single one of us has them, which irrationally tell us one thing is good and another is bad, one thing is absolutely true and another is utterly false, and make you act less smartly than you should.
    But the good news is that you can learn to see them, to manage them and ultimately overcome them.
    In Don't Believe Everything You Think, Colin J Browne shows you how biases work, why they matter, and how to reframe your thinking to make well-founded decisions about life and work, relationships and investing, and much else in between, to vastly improve your chances of success.

    Julian of Norwich: The Showings...

    "As a major fan and promoter of Julian of Norwich, whom I call 'my favorite mystic', it is genuinely exciting to find such a faithful but freeing translation of Julian's long-lost Showings. Now they are no longer lost—for anyone!"—Fr. Richard Rohr, O.F.M., Center for Action and Contemplation 
     In this contemporary translation of one of the most beloved and influential mystical texts of all time, Julian of Norwich: The Showings brings the message and spirituality of this 14th-century mystic to 21st-century readers. Revelations of Divine Love, the first book published in English attributed to a woman, is also included.  
     Julian of Norwich, a contemporary of Geoffrey Chaucer, was an English anchoress in East Anglia. At the age of 30, suffering from a severe illness and believing she was on her deathbed, Julian had a series of intense visions of Jesus, which she recorded and then expanded on later in her life. In her visions, God was not angry and wrathful. Instead, the three properties of God were presented as life, love, and light, and all of His creation was good, including his servant, man. In Julian's version, man is not to blame for his sin; sin is something that he must experience and overcome in his spiritual journey with God.  
     Her message for today's readers is simply this: 
    She reveals the feminine face of the Divine and reminds us to see God there.All our failings are an opportunity to learn and grow; they should be honored, but not dwelled upon.God's love has nothing to do with love and retribution and everything to do with love and compassion.In spite of all appearances, all is well. This book contains some of the most profound spiritual writing ever written and remains a perennial favorite among Christians. 
     This book was previously published as The Showings of Julian of Norwich. This new edition includes a foreword by Richard Rohr, author of Falling Upwards.

    For eighteen years, Nora Lakheal has been relentlessly tracking down Islamist terrorists. Originally a philosophy student, the boxer from Barbès joined the police force as one would join a religion, but with a taste for action and the unexpected. She soon became the first woman to join the Group for Radical Islamism of SORS, the elite Intelligence Service. 
    Neither an exemplary life story, nor the umpteenth diary of a police officer, instead this book is the searing testimony of a woman who chose to risk her life – this is not said lightly - for her convictions and for France. In the image of this extraordinary personality, Elite Agent overturns all clichés and plunges us into the hectic career of an exceptional woman.
