Synopsis

William Booth's "In Darkest England, and the Way Out" is a seminal text that explores the dire realities of poverty and social injustice in late Victorian England. Written in a compelling narrative style that oscillates between personal testimony and social critique, Booth's work sheds light on the struggles faced by the urban poor. He meticulously details the systemic issues leading to their plight while proposing a holistic solution through the framework of his Salvation Army movement, making it a pivotal work within the broader context of social reform literature of the time. Booth, a Methodist preacher and social reformer, founded the Salvation Army in 1865, seeking to bring relief to the impoverished and marginalized. His experiences witnessing poverty and his deep commitment to social justice informed his perspectives and solutions, as listed in this influential text. Booth'Äôs background in grassroots outreach not only colored his understanding of societal challenges but also fueled his determination to foster change, leading him to articulate these pressing issues urgently and passionately. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in social reform, Victorian literature, or humanitarian efforts. Booth'Äôs vivid depiction of systemic oppression, paired with a compassionate call to action, remains profoundly relevant today, inviting reflection on contemporary issues of inequality and the responsibility of society in addressing them.

    Throughout history women have caused wars, defied the rules, and brought men to their knees. Scandalous Women tells the stories of the risk takers who have flouted convention, beaten the odds, and determined the course of world events. 
     
     
     
    ● When Cleopatra (69 BC-30 BC) wasn't bathing in asses' milk, the last pharaoh of the Ptolemaic dynasty ruled Egypt and forged an important political alliance with Rome against her enemies—until her dalliance with Marc Antony turned the empire against her. 
     
     
     
    ● Emilie du Châtelet (1706-1748) shocked society with her unorthodox lifestyle and intellectual prowess—and became a leader in the study of theoretical physics in France at a time when the sciences were ruled by men. 
     
     
     
    ● Long before Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on the bus, Ida B. Wells-Barnett (1862-1928) fought to end discrimination and the terrible crime of lynching and helped found the NAACP, but was largely lost in the annals of history. 
     
     
     
    ● Gertrude Bell (1868-1926) left her privileged world behind to become one of the foremost chroniclers of British imperialism in the Middle East, and one of the architects of the modern nation of Iraq.

    The instinct of workmanship

    "The Instinct of Workmanship" is a book written by Thorstein Veblen, an American economist and social theorist. The book was published in 1914 and explores the relationship between humans and their work. 
    Veblen argues that the instinct of workmanship is a fundamental human trait that drives individuals to create and produce. This instinct is rooted in our desire to improve our own lives and the lives of those around us. However, Veblen also contends that this instinct is often hindered by the influence of social and economic institutions, such as the profit motive, the division of labor, and the competitive nature of capitalist markets. 
    Veblen explores the implications of these hindrances for individual well-being, social progress, and economic development. He argues that the current economic system is inefficient and wasteful, and that it fails to promote the full expression of the instinct of workmanship. He proposes alternative economic and social structures that could better facilitate the development and expression of this instinct, such as a society based on collective ownership and control of production. 
    Overall, "The Instinct of Workmanship" is an important contribution to the fields of economics and sociology, and it remains relevant to contemporary debates about the nature and purpose of work, the role of institutions in shaping human behavior, and the possibilities for creating a more just and equitable society.
