W. E. B. Du Bois

Beschreibung

W.E.B. Du Bois' 'The Collected Works of Du Bois' is a groundbreaking collection of essays, poems, and speeches that delve deep into the prevailing issues of race, class, and equality in America. Du Bois' unparalleled ability to blend academic rigor with emotional depth makes this book a masterpiece of civil rights literature. His use of vivid imagery and poignant language showcases his passion for social justice and his firm belief in the power of education. With essays such as 'The Souls of Black Folk' and 'The Talented Tenth,' Du Bois challenges the status quo and advocates for meaningful change in society. Born in 1868, W.E.B. Du Bois was a prominent Civil Rights activist, sociologist, and historian. As a co-founder of the NAACP, he dedicated his life to advocating for racial equality and social justice. His experiences as an African American living in a racially divided society inspired him to write 'The Collected Works of Du Bois,' a testament to his unwavering commitment to fighting injustice. I highly recommend 'The Collected Works of Du Bois' to readers interested in delving into the complexities of race relations, social inequality, and the history of civil rights in America. Du Bois' timeless writings continue to resonate today, serving as a powerful reminder of the importance of fighting for equality and justice for all.

The Claudius Novels - I Claudius...

Robert Graves

The Claudius Novels includes Robert Graves’ best known historical novels, I, Claudius and Claudius the God.
In I, Claudius, Robert Graves begins the story of the limping, stammering young man who is suddenly thrust onto the throne after the death of Caligula.
Once a rather bookish young man with a limp and a stammer, a man who spent most of his time trying to stay away from the danger and risk of the line of ascension, Claudius seemed an unlikely candidate for Emperor. Yet, on the death of Caligula, Claudius finds himself next in line for the throne, and must stay alive as well as keep control.

Drawing on the histories of Plutarch, Suetonius, and Gaius Cornelius Tacitus, noted historian and classicist Robert Graves tells the story of the much-maligned Emperor Claudius with both skill and compassion. Weaving important themes throughout about the nature of freedom and safety possible in a safety and a monarchy, Graves’ Claudius is both more effective and more tragic than history typically remembers him. A best-selling novel and one of Graves’ most successful, I, Claudius has been adapted to television, film, theatre, and audio.

In Claudius the God, Graves continues the story, detailing Claudius’ 13-year reign and his ultimate downfall. Painting the vivid, tumultuous, and decadent society of ancient Rome with spectacular detail, Robert Graves provides a tale that is both instructive and compelling, and difficult to put down for both casual readers and students of Roman history.

Against the Grain - How Farmers...

Roger Thurow

Farmers in some of the world's oldest agricultural areas were toiling year after year, only to find that modern industrial agriculture was turning on itself. Industrial agriculture's effects on our climate and environment were multiplying and worsening, until the very families growing the world's food were starving. 
 
 
 
They terraced the land to catch more rainwater and prevent soil runoff; they planted a diverse range of vegetables that would balance the nutrients in the soil; they replaced commercial fertilizers with organic matter from their own farms; they planted more trees and drought-resistant grains; and, perhaps most importantly, they taught their communities by example that these regenerative farming methods paid off—both in nourishing their families and in bringing their land back to life. 
 
 
 
Award-winning author and journalist Roger Thurow has traveled to Ethiopia, Uganda, Kenya, India, Guatemala, Peru, and the United States to share their stories, highlighting the conflicts inherent in our most important human endeavor: feeding the world using the methods of industrial agriculture is stripping the land of its ability to feed future generations. But these farmers are starting a new kind of revolution, nourishing both humans and the land, and following their lead could help us solve one of the great crises of our time.

What Did You Harvest?How Will We Pass the Knowledge On to Our Children?What Does It Mean to the World That I Am Here?

My major experiences are reviewed in Chapter 2.0 along with my explanations of how prophecy really works. 
In the rest of this book we will explore many prophecies from the past which have yet to occur, as well as forecasts by current prophets and great thinkers about our future. 
Then we get into a few prophecies by those who had Near Death Experiences (NDEs) who are therefore closer to their spirit which increases prophetic validity. 
Next I make a few of my own prophecies about our future from looking ahead with my intuition to see “what feels right”. 
Lastly, is an analysis of the prophecies in this book and what we can learn from them.
