Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taut free verse tells the little-known story of the first contraband camp of the Civil War—seen by some historians as the "beginning of the end of slavery in America." One night in 1861, three escaped slaves made their way from the Confederate line to a Union-held fort. The runaways were declared "contraband of war" and granted protection. As word spread, thousands of runaway slaves poured into the fort, seeking their freedom. These "contrabands" made a home for themselves, building the first African American community in the country. In 1863, they bore witness to one of the first readings of the Emancipation Proclamation in the South—beneath the sheltering branches of the tree now known as Emancipation Oak.

Book excerpt: A Newbery Honor Book: During the Revolutionary War, a courageous pioneer girl fights for freedom When thirteen-year-old Stephanie Venable moves with her family from North Carolina to a four-hundred-acre homestead in Kentucky, she knows they’re in for a great adventure. The family sells whatever belongings they can’t fit in their covered wagon, and begin the long journey west. But Stephanie has brought something special with her, an apple seed from their tree back home, just as her grandmother did when she moved from France to America. In Kentucky, the Venables must fell trees, build a cabin, and prepare the land for crops. Being a pioneer is a lot of work, but it’s also very exciting: Stephanie and her family must grow, catch, or hunt everything they need to eat and survive. With the Revolutionary War also moving west, the family faces threats from British sympathizers and American rebels. Will freedom take root in America, like Stephanie’s young apple tree, or will the Venable family succumb to the hardships of frontier life?
Download or read book Freedom s Tree written by Kenneth Lippincott and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2014-12-12 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever desired to escape and live simply? Have you ever fantasized about moving to a small town? Having spent half of my forty-three year career as a high school principal and volunteer pastor in small towns and counties with less than five thousand people, I learned that bliss was superficial. No matter how positive, people resisted change, especially with a newcomer serving as the agent of change. Kinfolk mattered more than issues. To survive, newcomers walked a fine line and had to learn who controlled and who was related to whom. Relationships mattered more than issues. Good versus evil became obvious. In Freedom’s Tree, Rock Creek Valley resembled Canaanite cities with heavily fortified bulwarks. Interstate highway construction had decimated the economy and school reorganization altered valley culture. Perceived as invaders, newcomers arrived in Rock Creek at God’s direction, while a murderer escaped detection and residents presumed another’s guilt.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Freedom Tree encompasses a unique race of bees that exist in an autonomous society. A race of bees, and wasps living a life, we as humanians never see are thriving together to survive nature’s troubles. In Belcado, four young honey bees rise and make a life for themselves, thanks to a wise elder bee named Tenni Roh, who under his wing nurtures them into a miracle the underworld has never seen. Zop, Stip, Jot, and Razz become a phenomenon in the Kova forest, changing the world forever around them. Imaginary, perhaps, but the story is challenging in that it is relative to what we humans encounter in our own lives. As the Bee-Telz accumulate their fame, they experience many adventures and hardships on their journey from their home to the forest region’s far reaches. Their creative music charms the insect, bird, and animal world around them, creating a frenzy of interest. The story combines friendship, love, and compassion, the whole theme of Zop’s desire to unite a troubled world through twig tapping music. The adventure from the Kova’s forest to Camilo finds the Bee-Telz building their reputation into a long-lasting bond between bee races. They find happiness and enthusiasm for their music, along with unbeknown resentment and revenge from a clandestine gang of illegal honey traffickers. But the conclusion finds eventual peace, surprising discoveries, and elements of love between Zop and Mitzy Loe. Stip, Jot, and Razz, who make fun of their talented and creative compatriot, end up finding their own love stories. The end is a happy one, and life goes on peacefully for everyone in Kova and Camilo...

Download or read book For a Philosophy of Freedom and Strife written by Günter Figal and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 1998-01-01 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first book-length work of the prominent German philosopher Gunter Figal to appear in English offers a radical defense of metaphysical philosophy in the era of postmodern thought. For Figal, metaphysics does not represent an anachronistic and pernicious mode of thought that ought to be overcome but rather is a type of thinking that proceeds from a recognition of the necessary coherence of everything with its opposite. It is this agonistic relationship of opposites that Figal, following Heraclitus, terms strife. Rather than regarding the conflict of opposites as necessarily resulting in the dissolution of meaning and sense, as many contemporary thinkers maintain, Figal contends that sense and meaning can only come into existence metaphysically, that is to say, as a consequence of strife. And, the context within which strife occurs is freedom. Using these concepts of strife and freedom, Figal proposes new and provocative readings of Plato, Hegel, Nietzsche, and Kierkegaard, as well as of some of the most controversial figures of twentieth-century philosophy.
