Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first paperback edition of a moving appraisal of the infamous Haymarket bombing (May 1886) and the trial that followed it--a trial that was a cause célèbre in the 1880s and that has since been recognized as one of the most unjust in the annals of American jurisprudence. Paul Avrich shows how eight anarchists who were blamed for the bombing at a workers' meeting near Chicago's Haymarket Square became the focus of a variety of passionately waged struggles.

Book excerpt: Music, myth, and horror blend in this romantic, “eerie…atmospheric” (Publishers Weekly) fantasy debut about a teen girl who must fight a powerful evil that’s invaded her Prince Edward Island home—perfect for fans of An Enchantment of Ravens. There’s a certain wild magic in the salt air and the thrum of the sea. Beet MacNeill has known this all her life. It added spice to her childhood adventures with her older cousin, Gerry, the two of them thick as thieves as they explored their Prince Edward Island home. So when Gerry comes up the path one early spring morning, Beet thinks nothing of it at first. But he is soaking wet and silent, and he plays a haunting tune on his fiddle that chills Beet to the bone. Something is very, very wrong. Things only get worse when Marina Shaw saunters into town and takes an unsettling interest in Gerry’s new baby. Local lore is filled with tales of a vicious shape-shifting sea creature and the cold, beautiful woman who controls him—a woman who bears a striking resemblance to Marina. Beet is determined to find out what happened to her beloved cousin, and to prevent the same fate from befalling the handsome new boy in town who is winning her heart, whether she wants him to or not. Yet the sea always exacts a price…

Download or read book Giraffe and Bird written by Rebecca Bender and published by Pajama Press Inc.. This book was released on 2017-04-17 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rebecca Bender's hilarious Giraffe and Bird was an instant classic when it was first published in 2011, selling 10,000 copies in Canada alone. Since then children and their parents have giggled their way through a sequel, Don't Laugh at Giraffe (2012), and a prequel for younger readers, Giraffe Meets Bird (2015). Now, after several years out of print, the original story is rejoining its partners on the shelf in a sturdy, new trade edition with a padded cover. Giraffe and Bird are not friends. Not even a little bit. The bird pesters the giraffe with his face-making, feather-pruning, and disgusting eating habits. The giraffe annoys the bird with his bad breath, ear-swatting, and lack of respect for personal space. Of course they are always fighting. Of course they would be better off without each other. Except, it turns out, maybe they wouldn't be. With bold acrylic illustrations and laugh-out-loud storytelling, Rebecca Bender's bestselling debut will continue to delight children, adults, and friends of all kinds.

Download or read book Ethics for the Coming Storm written by Laurie Zoloth and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "When I first wrote an essay about the environment, it was late in the game, 1996. I wrote it for an interfaith group of scholars of religion, gathered to consider the relationship between consumption, reproduction, and the environment. We did not discuss global warming, nor did we mention climate change and most of us did not know about the data about which scientists were already alarmed. We were concerned about pollution, food scarcity, the destruction of habitats, and the irreparable damage to a fragile ecosystem-- ecological issues. I had just finished my graduate school training and had completed a book about health care ethics. My training in bioethics had focused on the dilemmas of the clinical encounter: one doctor, one patient, the dramas of death, life and intimate choices, raising important ethical conflicts, questions and competing moral appeals in medicine and then suggests the best reasons for choosing amidst them. National debates in bioethics were emerging about end of life care, and reproductive technology, but also, increasingly about theoretical questions, like "what would happen if a technology that doesn't exist (human cloning) would become globally popular and fundamentally change the nature of our species?" or "what if brain scans could be done from afar and governments use fMRIs to know your thoughts?" Bioethicists in later decades would come to worry about the most arcane of issues, or the rarest of human conditions"--
