Download or read book The Outline of History written by Herbert George Wells and published by Jazzybee Verlag. This book was released on 1925 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No book is provoking a more animated discussion among students of the social sciences at the present time than H. G. Wells' Outline of History. The author's task, as he himself sets it, is to tell, "truly and clearly, in one continuous narrative, the whole story of life and mankind so far as it is known today." But while these two volumes are plainly for the general reader rather than for the special student of history, it does not follow that they contain nothing beyond an endless parade of names and dates. Their chief value, indeed, is in the author's interpretation of what he writes about. Events are appraised and men are weighed in the balance as he goes along. Historians in general will not agree with some of these appraisals, nor will they credit Mr. Wells with an approach to infallibility in his judgment of the men who flit across his pages; but his estimates of the relative value of facts and forces can scarcely be brushed aside because they do not command general indorsement. On some matters, unhappily, Mr. Wells has allowed his iconoclastic proclivities to run away with him. Napoleon I, for example, cannot be disposed of as a second-grade "pestilence" because "he killed fewer people than the influenza epidemic of 1918" (II, p. 384); nor will the world believe, so long as it retains its senses, that Napoleon III was " a much more intelligent man" than his uncle (II, p. 438). Even the pinchbeck himself would have rebuked this insinuation. But when all is said, these two stout volumes embody a remarkable achievement. They contain astonishingly few historical inaccuracies of the customary type. The author's advisers, and a competent galaxy of scholars they are, have kept him clear of the pitfalls. The style is terse and forceful. Mr. Wells certainly has the gift of cogent exposition.

Download or read book The Screwtape Letters written by C. S. Lewis and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2022-11-13 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Screwtape Letters is a Christian apologetic novel. It is written in a satirical, epistolary style and while it is fictional in format, the plot and characters are used to address Christian theological issues, primarily those to do with temptation and resistance to it. The story takes the form of a series of letters from a senior Demon Screwtape to his nephew Wormwood, a Junior Tempter. The uncle's mentorship pertains to the nephew's responsibility for securing the damnation of a British man known only as "the Patient". In The Screwtape Letters, C. S. Lewis provides a series of lessons in the importance of taking a deliberate role in Christian faith by portraying a typical human life, with all its temptations and failings, seen from devils' viewpoints. Lewis wrote the sequel Screwtape Proposes a Toast - a critique of certain trends in British public education (Although Britain calls its major private schools "public schools", Lewis is referring to state schools when he criticizes "public education"). Clive Staples Lewis (1898-1963) was a British novelist, poet, academic, medievalist, lay theologian and Christian apologist. He is best known for his fictional work, especially The Screwtape Letters, The Chronicles of Narnia, and The Space Trilogy, and for his non-fiction Christian apologetics, such as Mere Christianity, Miracles, and The Problem of Pain.

This book was released on 2024-01-19 with total page 2156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Excellent Collection brings together Stapledon's longer, major books and a fine selection of shorter pieces and Science-Fiction Books. This Books created and collected in Olaf Stapledon's Most important Works illuminate the life and work of one of the most individual writers of the XX century - a man who elevated political writing to an art. William Olaf Stapledon (1886-1950) is one of the great figures in the history of British science fiction. The philosophical depth and imaginative breadth of his novels signified an important stage in the development of the genre, inspiring and influencing many subsequent writers. As a lecturer for the Workers' Educational Association and The University of Liverpool, Stapledon began publishing academic essays in 1908 and took a doctorate in Philosophy in 1925. He was a relative late-comer to fiction but eventually found in this expansive form a means of exploring his complex ideas of 'community' and 'spirit'. Last and First Men coverIn 1930 he published his first novel, Last and First Men, followed by Odd John (1935), Star Maker (1937) and Sirius (1944). Although Stapledon wrote other works of fiction, these are the novels that made the greatest impact during his lifetime and which continue to receive widespread critical acclaim. This Collection included: · The Man Who Became a Tree · A Modern Magician · East Is West · Arms Out of Hand · A World of Sound · The Flames · The Road to the Aide Post · A Man Divided · Four Encounters · Death into Life · Last and First Men · Last Men in London · Odd John · Sirius · Star Maker · Nebula Maker · The Seed and the Flower · Far Future Calling

But these grand structures are also full of facts, histories and stories that you may not have been aware of. Did you know that there are only three cathedrals in Britain without a ringing bell? Or that St Davids Cathedral, nestled away in a Welsh valley, has a very unique choir, where the top line is sung only by female choristers, aged eight to eighteen? How about that the Great Pyramids in Egypt were the world's tallest structures for over 3,870 years, until the construction of Lincoln Cathedral in 1311? Award-wining travel writer and editor Sue Dobson takes us on a journey around the United Kingdom, showing us her highlights while providing fascinating details and stories along the way.

Download or read book The Philosophical Science Fiction Works of Olaf Stapledon written by Olaf Stapledon and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2023-12-28 with total page 2107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Olaf Stapledon's 'The Philosophical & Science-Fiction Works of Olaf Stapledon' is a groundbreaking collection that delves into the philosophical and scientific themes present in Stapledon's works. Known for his imaginative exploration of cosmic issues and the future of humanity, Stapledon's writing offers a unique blend of speculative fiction and deeper philosophical reflections. His literary style, characterized by meticulous world-building and profound exploration of moral and ethical dilemmas, places him as a significant figure in both science fiction and philosophical literature of the 20th century. Stapledon's works continue to influence contemporary authors in both genres, making this collection a must-read for fans of thought-provoking fiction. The author's own background in philosophy and interest in speculative science likely influenced his writing, providing readers with a rich and intellectually stimulating reading experience. I highly recommend 'The Philosophical & Science-Fiction Works of Olaf Stapledon' to anyone interested in philosophical fiction and the future of humanity.
