Sinossi

In "The History of the Reign of Ferdinand and Isabella the Catholic," William Hickling Prescott delivers an extensive and meticulously researched account of the transformative period in Hispanic history marked by the Catholic Monarchs' rule. This comprehensive three-volume work is characterized by Prescott's elegant prose, which skillfully balances scholarly rigor with narrative flair. The text not only encapsulates the political and military achievements of Ferdinand and Isabella but also delves into the social, religious, and cultural dimensions that shaped Spain during a pivotal epoch in European history, including the significance of the Reconquista and the early stages of exploration and colonization in the Americas. William Hickling Prescott, an American historian born in 1796, faced several physical challenges throughout his life, including significant visual impairment. Despite these obstacles, Prescott's keen intellect and indomitable spirit propelled him into the realm of historical scholarship, cultivating a passion for Spanish history that led him to produce this monumental work. His dedication to accuracy and detail reflects a broader Romantic fascination with the past, positioning him among the foremost historians of his era. Prescott's "History of the Reign of Ferdinand and Isabella" is an invaluable resource for scholars and casual readers alike, offering a captivating glimpse into a formative era of Spanish history. Its rich narrative and scholarly precision make it an engaging read for those interested in the interplay of power, religion, and culture in Renaissance Europe.

    The authoritative cultural history of Virginia's most famous accused witch 
 
 
 
In 1706, Grace Sherwood was "ducked" after her neighbors in Princess Anne County accused her of witchcraft. Binding and throwing her into the Lynnhaven River, they waited to see whether she would float to the top (evidence of her guilt) or sink (proof of her innocence). Incredibly, she survived. This bizarre spectacle became an early piece of Virginia folklore as stories about Sherwood, the "Witch of Pungo," spread. Her legend still looms large in Tidewater. In 2006, Governor Tim Kaine even issued an informal pardon of Sherwood, read aloud by the mayor of Virginia Beach before the annual reenactment of Sherwood's ducking. 
 
 
 
This is the first book to explore Grace Sherwood's life and cultural impact in depth. Anyone interested in colonial Virginia, American folklore, and the history and legacy of witch trials will find much to enjoy in this spellbinding book.

    “Fromm’s developing thought merits the critical attention of all concerned with the human condition and its future.” —The Washington Post The essays in this fascinating volume examine present-day psychological and cultural problems with the keen insight and humanistic sympathies characteristic of Erich Fromm’s work.The Dogma of Christ provides some of the sharpest critical insights into how the contemporary world of human destructiveness and violence can no longer separate religion, psychology, and politics. The book brilliantly summarizes Fromm’s ideas on how culture and society shape our behavior. “It’s the new post-religious theme song. The Fromm exhortations are imaginative and he has a definite audience.” —Kirkus Reviews “Of all the psychological theorists who have tried to formulate a system better than Freud’s to approach problems of contemporary life, no one has been more creative or influential than Erich Fromm. He is the most articulate advocate on the role of social forces in molding our character and on our manner of relating to others. This volume is an expansion of his systematic doctrine.” —Louis L. Lunsky, MD, Archives of Internal Medicine
