Sinossi

William Bradford's 'Of Plymouth Plantation' offers an insightful and detailed chronicle of the early years of the Plymouth Colony, from its founding in 1620 through 1647. Employing a straightforward yet evocative literary style, Bradford's narrative blends personal reflection with historical events, meticulously documenting the settlers' struggles, governance, faith, and interactions with Native Americans. The text stands as a seminal work in American literature, seamlessly interweaving themes of perseverance and divine providence within the broader context of Puritanical beliefs and the quest for a new society. Bradford's use of vivid descriptions allows readers to engage deeply with the harsh realities faced by those seeking religious freedom in a new world. A prominent figure in the early history of colonial America, William Bradford served as the Governor of Plymouth Colony for multiple terms, providing him with a unique perspective on the experiences of the settlers. His profound sense of purpose and commitment to his community inspired his writings, reflecting both the promise and trials of their endeavor. As a founding member of the Separatist movement, Bradford's dedication to preserving the values and lessons learned from this formative period drove him to author this essential work, which stands as a testament to his legacy. 'Of Plymouth Plantation' is a must-read for anyone fascinated by American history, literature, or the complexities of early colonial life. Bradford's firsthand account not only informs readers about the practicalities of survival in an unfamiliar land but also offers a compelling glimpse into the moral and spiritual dilemmas faced by its early inhabitants. This complete edition serves both as a foundational text for scholars and an engaging narrative for those seeking to understand the roots of American identity and the interplay of faith and governance.

    Larry – Simply Larry tells the story of Fr Larry McDonnell, an inspiring Irish Salesian Priest and the Headmaster of Salesian High School in Manzini, Swaziland. For more than two decades, Larry was instrumental in the growth and development of hundreds of Swazi boys, as well as many from South Africa, Namibia and Zimbabwe who sought refuge in Swaziland during the apartheid era. Many of the boys whose lives he touched, directly and indirectly, are now prominent policy, political and business leaders in South Africa and the region. He also played a crucial, though largely unsung, role in the liberation of South Africa. Salesian was also an academic refuge for many South African, Namibian and Zimbabwean teachers. At various times the school harboured operatives of uMkhonto we Sizwe (MK), Swapo and the PAC; such as Stanley Mabizela and General Keith Mokoape of MK – a most recent Luthuli Awardee in Silver, both ANC; Arthur Pickering of Swapo as well as Rosette ‘RB’ Nziba and Dini Sobukwe of PAC, respectively. The key period in this account is from 1970, when Larry arrived at the School, to the mid-1990s, following his tenure as Headmaster and his retirement to technical education. As a deeply religious person, caught up in struggle politics while trying to give the boys, in his care, the best possible start in life. Larry’s roots in the Irish struggle for liberation from British rule and in the trauma of the 19th-century Potato Crisis, gave him an acute consciousness of South Africa’s liberation process.

    Gun Control. Abortion. From the halls of Congress, it may seem that Americans are bitterly polarized on the biggest policy issues of the day. But Americans are not as divided as we think, and polls show that most of us largely agree on even the most divisive issues. The problem lies in how we vote. 
     
      
     
    Politics is more extreme because only the most extreme voters turn out in primaries. And with politicians prioritizing reelection above all else, they shun compromise, feed this extremism, and get rewarded for it. If a lot more people vote, the views of the electorate become more mainstream, and our politicians and policies will shift to the center. 
     
      
     
    Mobile voting is the solution. We do just about everything on our phones, and yet we still can't use them to vote. But the technology exists, provides enhanced security over traditional paper ballots, and it could exponentially increase voter turnout. 
     
      
     
    Including essays by Martin Luther King Jr. III, David Hogg, and other prominent political figures, Vote with Your Phone shows us that a solution to restoring faith in our representative democracy is right in the palm of our hands.
