Download or read book Liberating Letters Volume 4 written by Pamela J. Adams and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-01-20 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ride with Wentworth Cheswell as he races north while Paul Rever heads west, warning "the British are coming" and stand with Rev. Peter Mulhenberg as he proclaims, "There is a time to fight." Protest the Townshend Acts under the Liberty Tree and cheer the ringing of the Liberty Bell at the reading of the Declaration of Independence. Build bridges with John Roebling and tear down barriers with Martin Luther and the Protestant Reformation. America is a totally unique country as it was not united by nationality, but an idea. That idea is liberty. From our inception, forces both inside and outside of our boarders have been trying to destroy our freedom. That will only happen if We The People let it. Since Adam and Eve, parents and grandparents have passed down traditions, history and knowledge to their children and grandchildren. Realizing we are losing that custom, Liberating Letters recounts historical events, presents scientific evidence and explains current events in easy to read short stories. Over 100 years ago, the Progressive Movement stopped teaching students how to think, instead telling them what to think. Textbooks have replaced honest encounters and facts with politically correct accounts and carefully worded half-truths. There has been a well orchestrated effort to distort or completely remove the great men and women from the history that built this amazing country. At the same time those perpetrating the evils and dangers of progressivism are hailed as heroes. The goal is to distance the people of this country so far from their founders, the Constitution, and anyone selfishly fighting to preserve them, that we eagerly demand abandoning it all and start over under a progressive umbrella. Liberating Letters are researched accounts of our true history. Careful effort is taken to be as accurate as possible. It is only with the truth of our past can we avoid the pitfalls of our future. As is evident in many letters, history repeats. If we are not careful, America will easily lose her freedoms and liberties like so many countries before her. These are letters written from a Freedom-loving Mother to her daughter, Lady Liberty. They are meant to inspire and warn. They tell the good and the bad of our past so that the next generation can see the warning signs in their future.

Download or read book Art and Liberation written by Herbert Marcuse and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2007-01-24 with total page 491 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The role of art in Marcuse’s work has often been neglected, misinterpreted or underplayed. His critics accused him of a religion of art and aesthetics that leads to an escape from politics and society. Yet, as this volume demonstrates, Marcuse analyzes culture and art in the context of how it produces forces of domination and resistance in society, and his writings on culture and art generate the possibility of liberation and radical social transformation. The material in this volume is a rich collection of many of Marcuse’s published and unpublished writings, interviews and talks, including ‘Lyric Poetry after Auschwitz’, reflections on Proust, and Letters on Surrealism; a poem by Samuel Beckett for Marcuse’s eightieth birthday with exchange of letters; and many articles that explore the role of art in society and how it provides possibilities for liberation. This volume will be of interest to those new to Marcuse, generally acknowledged as a major figure in the intellectual and social milieus of the 1960s and 1970s, as well as to the specialist, giving access to a wealth of material from the Marcuse Archive in Frankfurt and his private collection in San Diego, some of it published here in English for the first time. A comprehensive introduction by Douglas Kellner reflects on the genesis, development, and tensions within Marcuse’s aesthetic, while an afterword by Gerhard Schweppenhäuser summarizes their relevance for the contemporary era.

Download or read book Mark Twain s Letters Volume 4 written by Mark Twain and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-12-22 with total page 828 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "You ought to see Livy & me, now-a-days—you never saw such a serenely satisfied couple of doves in all your life. I spent Jan 1, 2, 3 & 5 there, & left at 8 last night. With my vile temper & variable moods, it seems an incomprehensible miracle that we two have been right together in the same house half the time for a year & a half, & yet have never had a cross word, or a lover's 'tiff,' or a pouting spell, or a misunderstanding, or the faintest shadow of a jealous suspicion. Now isn't that absolutely wonderful? Could I have had such an experience with any other girl on earth? I am perfectly certain I could not. . . . We are to be married on Feb. 2d." So begins Volume 4 of the letters, with Samuel Clemens anticipating his wedding to Olivia L. Langdon. The 338 letters in this volume document the first two years of a loving marriage that would last more than thirty years. They recount, in Clemens's own inimitable voice, a tumultuous time: a growing international fame, the birth of a sickly first child, and the near-fatal illness of his wife. At the beginning of 1870, fresh from the success of The Innocents Abroad, Clemens is on "the long agony" of a lecture tour and planning to settle in Buffalo as editor of the Express. By the end of 1871, he has moved to Hartford and is again on tour, anticipating the publication of Roughing It and the birth of his second child. The intervening letters show Clemens bursting with literary ideas, business schemes, and inventions, and they show him erupting with frustration, anger, and grief, but more often with dazzling humor and surprising self-revelation. In addition to Roughing It, Clemens wrote some enduringly popular short pieces during this period, but he saved some of his best writing for private letters, many of which are published here for the first time.

Download or read book Liberating Letters Volume 2 written by Pamela J. Adams and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-05-20 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ride the Underground Railroad with Harriet Tubman and storm the shores of Tripoli. Experience the racism of Woodrow Wilson and the ultimate faith of Abraham Lincoln. Sit on the bus with Rosa Parks and encounter the horrors of religious persecution. Witness Pocahontas befriend the white man and follow Margaret Sanger's journey to eliminate the black man through abortion. From the beginning of time, history, traditions, and stories have been passed down the generations from parent to children, grandparent to grandchildren. In that spirit, Pamela has researched, studied and accounted events from the Flood to 2015's pivotal events. Also included are scientifically supported arguments on controversial social events. Since the Progressive Movement was ushered into the educational system during the Wilson Administration, teachers have shifted to teaching students what to think instead of how to think. Dropped from textbooks are facts and honest, objective arguments that have been replaced by politically correct narratives and carefully collected half-truths. There has been a well orchestrated effort to distort or completely remove the great men and women from the history that built this amazing country. At the same time those perpetrating the evils and dangers of progressivism are hailed as heroes. The goal is to distance the people of this country so far from their founders, the Constitution, and anyone selfishly fighting to preserve them, that we eagerly demand abandoning it all and start over under a progressive umbrella. We are one presidential election from making that complete, fundamental transformation. The stories inside are an effort to preserve and continue our true history. They map out how we got here and what paths lay ahead. They are signposts from the past that warn us of our future. Events from the modern world tied directly to the events of the past. These stories make it clear that if you don't study history you are doomed to repeat it and if you don't understand your freedom, you are doomed to loose it. These are letters written from a Freedom-loving Mother to her daughter, Lady Liberty. They are meant to inspire and warn. They tell the good and the bad of our past so that the next generation can see the warning signs in their future.

Download or read book Liberating Paul written by Neil Elliott and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2005-02-01 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries the apostle Paul has been invoked to justify oppression ? whether on behalf of slavery, to enforce unquestioned obedience to the state, to silence women, or to legitimate anti-Semitism. To interpret Paul is thus to set foot on a terrible battleground between spiritual forces. But as Neil Elliott argues, the struggle to liberate human beings from the power of Death requires "Liberating Paul" from his enthrallment to that power. In this book, Elliott shows that what many people experience as the scandal of Paul is the unfortunate consequence of the way Paul has usually been read, or rather misread, in the churches.In the first half of the book, Elliott examines the many texts historically interpreted to support oppression or maintain the status quo. He shows how often Paul's authentic message has been interpreted in the light of later pseudo-Pauline writings.In Part Two, Elliott applies a "political key" to the interpretation of Paul. Though subsequent centuries have turned the cross into a symbol of Christian piety, Elliott forcefully reminds us that in Paul's time this was the Roman mode of executing rebellious slaves, a fact that has profound political implications.

Download or read book Alicyclic Chemistry Volume 4 written by W. Parker and published by Royal Society of Chemistry. This book was released on 1976 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annotation. Specialist Periodical Reports provide systematic and detailed review coverage of progress in the major areas of chemical research. Written by experts in their specialist fields the series creates a unique service for the active research chemist, supplying regular critical in-depth accounts of progress in particular areas of chemistry. For over 80 years the Royal Society of Chemistry and its predecessor, the Chemical Society, have been publishing reports charting developments in chemistry, which originally took the form of Annual Reports. However, by 1967 the whole spectrum of chemistry could no longer be contained within one volume and the series Specialist Periodical Reports was born. The Annual Reports themselves still existed but were divided into two, and subsequently three, volumes covering Inorganic, Organic and Physical Chemistry. For more general coverage of the highlights in chemistry they remain a 'must'. Since that time the SPR series has altered according to the fluctuating degree of activity in various fields of chemistry. Some titles have remained unchanged, while others have altered their emphasis along with their titles; some have been combined under a new name whereas others have had to be discontinued.

Download or read book Sandy Curle written by CHRISTIAN. CURLE and published by . This book was released on 2021-03-16 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his vivid letters home to his father in the Scottish Borders, Sandy Curle (190080) paints an engaging picture of 1940s Ethiopia supported by over 100 illustrations and comprehensive explanatory notes. During the liberation, Sandy had led his Ethiopian irregular troops up from Kenya, but he had not seen his wife for three years or their new daughter the editor of this book at all. As part of the new Ethiopian government, he observes tensions between the restored Haile Selassie and the veterans of colonial administration. Sent to Jimma in 1943 to advise the governor of the south-west, he wins the trust of the old school Ras Birru, and helps support the Emperors modernising policies on the ground. His family is at last able to join him here in 1944 after an adventurous wartime voyage. Full of telling detail, the letters bring alive a complex society recovering from the unpredictable and brutal Italian occupation. Sandys extensive social circle includes friends across the nations from his 20 years in East Africa, old comrades and, of course, Scots. He shares with us his wide interests in archaeology, religion and the natural world together with domestic worries and family drama.

Download or read book Black Liberation in Kentucky written by Victor B. Howard and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2021-10-21 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kentucky occupied an unusual position with regard to slavery during the Civil War as well as after. Since the state never seceded, the emancipation proclamation did not free the majority of Kentucky's slaves; in fact, Kentucky and Delaware were the only two states where legal slavery still existed when the thirteenth amendment was adopted by Congress. Despite its unique position, no historian before has attempted to tell the experience of blacks in the Commonwealth during the Civil War and Reconstruction. Victor B. Howard's Black Liberation in Kentucky fills this void in the history of slavery and emancipation. In doing so, however, he does not just chronicle the experiences of black Kentucky, because as he notes in his introduction, "such a work would distort the past as much as a book concerned solely with white people." Beginning with an overview of the situation before the war, Howard examines reactions to the emancipation proclamation and how the writ was executed in Kentucky. He also explores the role the army played, both during the war as freed black enlisted and after the war as former slaves transitioned to freedom. The situation for former slaves in Kentucky was just as precarious as in other southern states, and Howard documents the challenges they faced from keeping families together to finding work. He also documents the early fights for civil rights in the state, detailing battles over the right to testify in court, black suffrage, and access to education. As Black Liberation in Kentucky shows, Kentucky's slaves fought for their freedom and rights from the beginning, refusing to continue in bondage and proving themselves accomplished actors destined to play a critical role in Civil War and Reconstruction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A rich and intriguing story whcih the authors disentangle with great skill."--Sunday Telegraph From Antony Beevor, the internationally bestselling author of D-Day and The Battle of Arnhem In this brilliant synthesis of social, political, and cultural history, Antony Beevor and Artemis Cooper present a vivid and compelling portrayal of the City of Lights after its liberation.

Against this volatile political backdrop, every aspect of life is portrayed: scores were settled in a rough and uneven justice, black marketers grew rich on the misery of the population, and a growing number of intellectual luminaries and artists including Hemingway, Beckett, Camus, Sartre, de Beauvoir, Cocteau, and Picassocontributed new ideas and a renewed vitality to this extraordinary moment in time.

Download or read book Sexual Liberation written by Raymond J. Lawrence Jr. and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2007-01-30 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sex sells, they say, but even today, it is considered forbidden, wrong, or sinful by many in the Western world. This book is an account of the strange ways sexual pleasure has been devalued, even demonized, in the West by the forces of Christendom and its legacy in the modern world. It tells the story of how sex came to be regarded by societies throughout the ages as perverse, sinful, and wrong, and how the motivations of a few have lasted centuries and colored our view of sex and sexuality even today. Sex sells, they say, but even today it is considered forbidden or sinful by many in the Western world. This book is an account of the ways in which sexual pleasure has been devalued and demonized in the West by the historical forces of Christendom. It tells the story of how sex came to be regarded by societies throughout the ages as perverse, sinful, and wrong, and how the centuries-old motivations of a few have persisted into modern times, coloring our view of sex and sexuality to this day. For good or ill, Christianity has been, since before the ebbing of the Roman Empire, the principal bearer of public values in the western world. This book traces the changes that have shaped and reshaped what is considered moral sexual behavior (and immoral sexual behavior) by Christians and non-Christians alike. Lawrence's account of the perversion of sexual values begins with the intersection of the early Jesus movement and the morality of the Greco-Roman culture and empire. He goes on to point out the ways Christianity and its moral code were reshaped under the impact of Constantine's adoption of Christianity as the imperial religion, and how key figures of the Middle Ages generally succeeded in promoting a religion whose chief goal was the obliteration of sexual pleasure. The story continues on through the ages until now. This controversial look at sex and Christianity sheds new light on our views of pornography, homosexuality, adultery, and other issues of sex and sexuality.

Download or read book Feral City On Finding Liberation in Lockdown New York written by Jeremiah Moss and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2022-10-04 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exhilarating and intimate look at what happened when the pandemic emptied the city— and a rebellious energy reclaimed the streets. Author, social critic, and “New York City’s career elegist” (New York Times), Jeremiah Moss felt alienated in a town that had become suburbanized and sanitized. Then lockdown launched an unprecedented urban experiment: What happens when an entire social class abandons the city? Out in streets made vibrant by New Yorkers left behind, Moss found a sense of freedom he never thought possible. Participating in a historic explosion of protest, resistance, and spontaneity, from queer BLM marches to exuberant outdoor dance parties, he discovers that, without “hyper-normal” people to constrain it, New York can be more creative, connected, humane, and joyful. In this genre-bending work of “autotheory,” Moss gives an account of his renewed sense of place as a transgender man, braiding the narrative with psychoanalysis, literature, and queer theory, as he offers valuable insight into the way public space—and the spaces inside us—are controlled and can be set free.

Download or read book The Concept of Other in Latin American Liberation written by Eugene Walker Gogol and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2002 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this exciting new study, Eugene Gogol interweaves three strands that form the intellectual bedrock for the concept of the Other in the Latin American context: Hegel's dialectic of negativity, Marx's humanism, and autochthonal emancipatory thought. From this foundation, the book explores the relation of liberatory philosophic thought to today's social and class movements. Gogol considers the logic of capitalism on Latin American soil, the ecological crisis in Latin America, and the concept and practice of self-liberation. Still one of the most contested terrains of Latin American thought, the Other has been of central concern for many luminary thinkers including Leopoldo Zea, Octavio Paz, and JosZ Carlos MariOtegui. While these writers may not garner much publicity in the world press, the highly public and ongoing struggles of the Zapatistas and Brazil's Landless Workers Movement demonstrate the continuing need to theorize the volatile nature of Latin American social reality.
