Synopsis

The collection 'John Stuart Mill - His Life and Works' is an intellectual endeavor that encapsulates the profound impact of John Stuart Mill's philosophy on modern thought, across a diversified range of literary styles. This carefully curated anthology presents a mosaic of essays and reflections on Mill's legacy, encapsulating themes of utilitarianism, liberty, and reform. The contributors traverse a wide span of interpretations and critiques, offering readers a panoramic view of Mill's influence. Within this compendium, each essay serves as a standout piece, bridging the gap between the 19th-century milieu in which Mill thrived and our contemporary discourse on society and governance. The contributors of this anthology include distinguished figures like William Minto, Herbert Spencer, and Dame Millicent Garrett Fawcett, each bringing their unique perspectives to Mill's work. United by a commitment to explore Mill'Äôs philosophical tenets and their implications, these authors delve into the socio-political paradigms that prevail both historically and in their own time. Collectively, they align with intellectual movements ranging from British liberalism to early feminist thought, thereby constructing a rich tapestry of intellectual inquiry that deepens the reader's appreciation of Mill's contributions. Embracing this anthology is an invitation to engage with heterogeneity in thought, perspective, and analysis. It offers readers a rare confluence of scholarly viewpoints, provoking contemplation and dialogue through the cross-pollination of ideas. For readers with a keen interest in philosophy, social sciences, or the historical development of liberal thought, 'John Stuart Mill - His Life and Works' serves not just as an academic resource but as an enlightening journey through the varied landscapes shaped by Mill's philosophical pursuits.

    Welcome to a journey through history—cobwebs aren't the only relics hidden in the dusty corners of time. Our tale begins in the dingy underbelly of bygone eras where soot and grime paint the canvas of our story. We'll climb through the centuries with the nimble fingers and scuffed knees of child chimney sweeps, whose stories have been tucked away like a dirty secret amidst the grand tapestry of the past. It's a tale that'll pull at your heartstrings and tickle your funny bone, because, let's be honest, who can't help but chuckle at the thought of top-hatted gentlemen and pinafore-clad lasses, even as we dig into the less genteel side of history?

    On a Thursday morning in June 2010, Katharine Blake's sixteen-year-old cousin walked to a nearby bike path with a boxcutter, and killed a young boy he didn't know. It was a psychological break that tore through his brain, and into the hearts of those who loved both boys—one brutally killed, the other sentenced to die at Angola. 
     
     
     
    In The Uninnocent, Blake wrestles with the implications of her cousin's break, as well as the broken machinations of America's justice system. As her cousin languished in a cell on death row, where he was assigned for his own protection, Blake struggled to keep her faith in the system she was training to join. 
     
     
     
    Consumed with understanding her family's new reality, Blake became obsessed with heartbreak, seeing it everywhere. As she delves into a history of heartbreak—through science, medicine, and literature—and chronicles the uneasy yet ultimately tender bond she forms with her cousin, Blake asks probing questions about justice, faith, inheritance, family, and, most of all, mercy. 
     
     
     
    Sensitive, singular, and powerful, effortlessly bridging memoir, essay, and legalese, The Uninnocent is a reckoning with the unimaginable, unforgettable, and seemly irredeemable.

Trauma can leave an entire family with an inheritance of guilt, blame and shame, which can be absorbed unconsciously by descendants down the ages. This book shows how such learned trauma can be extinguished so that the next generation does not have to carry the burden of it too. ‘The Trauma Effect’ highlights the urgent need to act, to grasp the skeleton, take it out of the closet and bury it once and for all.
