Ireland under Coercion

William Henry Hurlbert

Editorial: DigiCat

Sinopsis

In "Ireland under Coercion," William Henry Hurlbert presents a compelling examination of the political climate in Ireland during the late 19th century, particularly focusing on the coercive measures employed by the British government against Irish nationalists. The narrative unfolds through a blend of journalistic rigor and literary craftsmanship, offering readers a vivid portrayal of the social and political upheaval. Hurlbert employs a poignant style, interweaving personal anecdotes and broader socio-political critiques, thus placing the Irish struggle within the global context of imperialism and governance. Hurlbert, an American journalist and a keen observer of international affairs, was profoundly influenced by the turmoil he witnessed firsthand during his visit to Ireland. His experiences amidst the fervent nationalist sentiments and oppressive legislation catalyzed his determination to shed light on the injustices faced by the Irish people. This background not only informs his analysis but also instills a strong sense of empathy for the plight of those advocating for Irish self-determination. This book is indispensable for readers interested in Irish history, British imperial politics, or the evolution of national identity. Hurlbert's incisive insights and eloquent prose invite readers into a crucial historical moment, offering a nuanced understanding of the complexities surrounding Irish independence and the broader implications of coercion on civil liberties.

For the Love of Stephen - The...

Ph.D. Stuart D. Jones

In 1954, Steve Jones entered the world fragile and premature, quickly labeled “broken” by doctors and dismissed by society. But his parents refused the prevailing wisdom of the time. They chose to keep him home, to raise him with dignity, and to believe in his worth. 
For the Love of Stephen: The Story of a Boy Who Was Never Broken is the intimate, heartfelt memoir of a brother who witnessed firsthand the struggles and triumphs of a life lived on the margins of society. Through vivid storytelling, Dr. Stuart D. Jones traces Steve’s journey: his battles with exclusion, his breakthroughs in education, his humor and resilience, his friendships and love, and the tragedy that ended his life too soon. 
By turns satirical, humorous, and deeply moving, this book illuminates both the progress made and the injustices that remain in how we treat people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. 
Above all, it is a tribute to Steve himself—a man who was never broken, who lived with joy and dignity, and who continues to inspire through the story left behind.

Ruthenia: The History of Ukraine...

Editors Charles River

The history of Ukraine is a fascinating story of how cultures, political systems, religions, and power have met, intersected, morphed, and expanded. The region was relatively sparsely populated for much of ancient history, a wilderness of rivers, forests, and steppes, but that does not detract from the rich historical development of the region. A huge area, Ukraine is wedged between the continents of Asia and Europe, and its position as a crossroads ensured there was fierce competition for influence there. Historians have called the formation of Ukraine the “establishment of a unity among three zones…the ports of Crimea and the coast, the rich steppe heartland, and the forests,” based around the themes of “geography, ecology and culture.”
Today’s Ukraine is a huge country, incorporating an area over 600,000 square kilometers and home to 42 million people. It stretches from the Crimean Peninsula on the Black Sea in the south to Belarus in the north, Russia to the east, and Poland, Slovakia, and Hungary to the west. The Dnieper River is the region’s key waterway, running into the Black Sea, while the Danube Delta also forms its border with modern-day Romania to the southwest. A steppe exists in the middle of the country while the Carpathian Mountains feature in the west. This geographical formation has influenced some of the country’s key historical developments, as well as the location of its major settlements. Kiev (known today as Kyiv) is, of course, the longstanding capital of the country, located on the Dnieper River in the central northern part of modern Ukraine. Lviv is another large city, located in the northwest near the border with Poland. Odessa is a seaside city on the Black Sea in Ukraine’s southwest, while Kharkiv, Luhansk, and Donetsk are major cities in the country’s east, close to the Russian border.
