Summary

In 'History of European Morals From Augustus to Charlemagne,' William Edward Hartpole Lecky meticulously examines the evolution of moral philosophy and social ethics from the Roman Empire through the early Middle Ages. Employing a narrative style that intertwines historical analysis with philosophical inquiry, Lecky elucidates how cultural and religious shifts shaped moral thought during this pivotal era. His work is situated within the broader context of 19th-century historiography, where the interplay of social and moral progress was a burgeoning area of interest, establishing a framework that still informs contemporary moral discourse. Lecky, an eminent Irish historian and philosopher, was driven by a commitment to understand the foundations of modern morality in the light of historical developments. His scholarship reflects the influences of Enlightenment thinking and his own experiences in a rapidly changing Victorian society, which fostered his desire to explore the past's impact on present ethical conditions. Through keen observation and dedicated research, Lecky provides readers with profound insights into the complexities of moral evolution. This comprehensive exploration is highly recommended for anyone interested in the intersections of history, philosophy, and ethics. Lecky's work not only illuminates the past but also invites contemporary readers to reflect on how historical morals continue to resonate in modern moral dilemmas. Engaging with Lecky's seminal text offers invaluable perspectives that are as pertinent today as they were in his time.

    This intimate and unflinching memoir explores Wen's struggle to survive, and confronts the belief that people don't change. Through appalling abuse and neglect, Wen finds a way to a very different kind of life, embodying resilience, healing and transformation. 
The story is woven through with the intriguing themes of Wen's life. With humility, understanding and beauty, she delves into the plight of a stammerer, the unbreakable bonds of twinship, and her body's need to dissociate. 
Wen's evocative imagery transports the reader from the red dirt of Broome, to the streets of India and the mists of Scotland. She crosses the continents, often by bicycle, committing to radical political action and spiritual exploration. These pursuits help forge her growing character. 
After settling in Scotland, she uncovers buried memories of a terrifying Queensland childhood shrouded in threats and lies, and of her father's links to a Brisbane paedophile gang. 
'To the outside world, we were the picture-perfect family. No one would have believed me, even if I could have found the words.' 
She doesn't recoil from facing the truth of her childhood or the unconscionable harm her parents perpetuated. 
Wen tells how she found her way to her heart and her true gender self. In doing so, she celebrates the power of kindness. Stammering Against Truth is a powerful and empowering book that proves past traumas need not define our futures.

    About Man and God and Law is the story of how Bob Dylan sparked a revolution of the spirit and why it matters today. 
 
 
 
Many of our assumptions about empathy, sensual pleasure, and the essence of work, community, country, race, and the divine have germinated in Bob Dylan's need to know what's blowing in the wind and how it feels. Tracing his work and vision through themes that have shaped religious and cultural history for millennia, Stephen Daniel Arnoff uncovers how Bob Dylan has re-enchanted ancient questions of meaning and purpose throughout popular culture, inspiring a pantheon of prophetic musicians along the way. This field guide to Dylan's spiritual wisdom aims to make good on the promise that if we look closely enough at his body of work—precisely at a moment when the world we thought we knew seems like uncharted territory—we can open up our eyes to see not only where we really are, but where we need to go.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
A century ago, life was far more fragile. Houses were smaller and colder, transport was slow, food security was uncertain and medical care was limited. Rights and opportunities were often restricted to a privileged few. 
Today, much of what we take for granted - electricity, clean water, reliable medicine, education, democracy and human rights - has been built on a hundred years of extraordinary change. 
Then and Now: A Century of Global Progress explores this remarkable transformation, comparing everyday life in 1925 with 2025 across the globe. From housing and health to communication, transport, culture and the environment, it reveals how societies have shifted and how ordinary people’s lives have improved. 
Through stories and examples from every continent, this book offers more than a history of progress - it is a reminder of how far we’ve come, how resilience and creativity have shaped the modern world and how gratitude and perspective can change the way we see our present and our future. 
For readers of history, sociology and anyone who wants to appreciate the gift of progress, this is an inspiring journey through the last century of human achievement.
