The Brothers: O Earth O Sea Cover Not Thou Their Blood by Robert Derry (3 Reviews)    Price verified 3 hours ago

"When I entered the city, I entered it with an undaunted spirit, determined that no labour should make me shrink, no danger nor even persecution deter me from my pursuit." Thomas Clarkson was the 'moral steam engine' behind the abolitionist movement of the late eighteenth century, without whom The Society for Effecting the Abolition of the Slave Trade would have been bereft of its champion. The Brothers tells the story of the early years of their struggle and the tale of a slave ship, The Brothers, as it departs from the port of Bristol en route to the Guinea Coast, under the vicious Captain Howlett. It traces the arduous journey of Clarkson, as he gathers evidence against The Trade from the slaving ports of England and the political efforts of Granville Sharp who, with the help of the Society, brings their first bill before a reluctant parliament. A disillusioned Doctor Gardiner, the ship's surgeon aboard The Brothers, agrees to keep a journal as evidence for the investigation, to record first-hand in all its horrors the maltreatment of slaves and crew at the hands of the sadistic officers, for whom the venture is all about one thing and one thing alone - profit. A young boy escapes from the clutches of the Bristol mob to find himself in service in Sharp's plush London residence, as four thousand miles away in the Caribbean, The Brothers sails away from its crime against humanity. But another force is rising from the very timbers of the ship's blood-infused frame - a nightmare that will push the troubled doctor to the very edge of insanity and threaten to bring a timely judgement upon them all.

EL PARAÍSO ESTÁ BAJO LOS PIES DE LOS GOBIERNOS: DIRIGIENDO LAS NACIONES CON MAQASID (Spanish Edition) by Abdellatif Raji (Yaraak, LLC.) Price verified 4 hours ago

Desentrañando el libro "El paraíso está bajo los pies de los gobiernos" emplea una sorprendente metáfora para describir la profunda responsabilidad y el potencial de los gobiernos para dar forma al bienestar de la sociedad. Esta frase resume poéticamente la idea de que así como la tierra nos sustenta físicamente, la buena gobernanza es la base que sostiene la estructura moral y ética de una sociedad. El libro explora la integración de Maqasid, un marco derivado de la jurisprudencia islámica, en la gobernanza moderna, argumentando que este enfoque puede conducir a una gestión social más ética, justa y humana. La Esencia (80/20) • Marco Maqasid: El núcleo del libro gira en torno al marco Maqasid, que prioriza la protección y el cumplimiento de intereses humanos esenciales como la vida, la religión, el intelecto, la progenie y la propiedad. Raji sugiere que los gobiernos pueden lograr una mejor gobernanza alineando las políticas con estos principios universales, que están inherentemente diseñados para promover una sociedad equilibrada y floreciente. • Gobernanza ética: Raji sostiene que la ausencia de una base ética en la gobernanza conduce a desigualdades e injusticias sociales. Al incorporar los principios Maqasid en la formulación de políticas, los líderes pueden fomentar un modelo de gobernanza que no sólo cumpla con los objetivos económicos y políticos sino que también mejore el bienestar espiritual y moral de la comunidad. • Perspectivas globales e históricas: el libro se basa en varios ejemplos globales y contextos históricos para ilustrar cómo ha sido beneficiosa la integración de valores espirituales en la gobernanza secular. Los ejemplos incluyen el sistema financiero islámico de Malasia y las políticas de conservación ambiental influenciadas por creencias indígenas en Nueva Zelanda, lo que muestra la aplicación práctica y los beneficios de este enfoque.

The Nick by Shaun Whittington (14 Reviews)    Price verified 6 hours ago

The Nick is a hard-hitting drama. It tells us about the life of Victor Wiley and how he gets into trouble with some local gangsters, but it is primarily based around prison life. Admittedly, this is a slow burner and the main character doesn't experience prison life until halfway through the story, but I wanted to tell the reader the background of the main character before his incarceration. In order for this story to be true to life it will contain violence, sexual scenes, and derogatory language towards characters that some readers may find offensive. Being behind bars is an ugly world, and I make no apology for the material you are about to read. *************** Introduction How do you start a book like this? I have no idea. My name is Victor Wiley. I'm new to this game of writing, as you'll probably tell as you read on. I only used to use my laptop for surfing the net, and now I'm writing -- or typing -- my story. I warn you now, I'm not the most articulate person and maybe even a little unPC, so by the time this is released it may get an immediate ban, but it's a book about facts and what happened in my life. I suppose the main question is: Who would want to read about me? Probably no one, but getting this down is good therapy, so I've been told, and... well, I just wanted to do it anyway, okay? I am an honest narrator. I won't exaggerate stories or water them down to make me look good, I promise you that. I'll start at the beginning, when my life began to descend into chaos. I'm not going to bore you about my family, work or background. If I add that in along the way, then fair enough. Don't you just hate it when you read an autobiography of a famous person and they always start with their childhood and what they did, and the bike they got on their seventh birthday? I'm not going to bore you with any of that shit. Okay, so I'm not famous, but still, it's annoying. Okay, so it all started around five years ago, around March/April time. That ...

Boxes of Time: Stories by Jack Matthews (1 Review)    Price verified one hour ago

Stories about messy emotions, troubled families and damaged personalities. 11th Story Collection. Over his lifetime Jack Matthews (1925-2013) wrote over 200 stories, many of which were published in literary journals. Although stories varied widely in subject and style, they often could be described as urbane, philosophical, poetic and sardonic. Stories in Boxes of Time were mostly published between 1961 and 1981; they feature characters who are troubled or unsure of themselves trying to deal with life's usual disappointments. Stylistically, these stories are polished and carefully written, but they deal with messy emotions, troubled families and damaged personalities. The characters may not be as educated or self-assured as the people in his other collections, but they still manage to figure out interesting things about themselves and the people around them. Stories from this period focus especially on the emotional stresses that separate parents from their children. This ebook contains 24 stories by Jack Matthews which have never been collected, making it the author's largest story collection. Matthews picked "Boxes of Time" as the title for this collection because each story reveals the drama of worlds long since gone but whose dreams and fears and anxieties still resonate today.

Can Eir master her curse and free the god in time, or will surrendering to the darkness turn her into a monster far worse than the enemy?

Faith Building Moments from the Old Testament and Today by Joan Boney (3 Reviews)    Price verified 3 hours ago

Isaiah 55... For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: I went through several days of trial and struggle with our little church group as they spoke vain religious puffed up nonsense. I rebuked them sharply and temporarily they sobered up. Grief came upon me as I thought of them. I would awaken in the mornings and be so sad, like some terrible thing was about to befall me. I cried out to God for help as I had been crying out to God for help all through the struggle with our church group. I had no joy. It was all gone. I prayed for God to restore my joy, somehow. Then I was reminded of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. (Dan. 3) I was writing something at the time. I went to Daniel 3 to quote what they pronounced and I became so very joyful when I heard their words again, for I've read this many time. I realized my joy comes from that which these truly godly people say... Esther, Abraham, David... FOCUS ON THEM. Let them be my friends. Joy will go through the roof with them! Spend time with them. ***** No friends? Alone? Trying to be friends with people who grieve you? Even with church people who grieve you? Thinking of disobedient children and relatives and mates? To have joy, stop and turn to the great men and women of faith in the Bible and fellowship with them at night instead of those fleshly people around you. You can choose: joy vs. sorrow This book is based on the time I'm spending with men and women of faith in the Bible. My friends. Joan Boney

The Far Side of Paradise: A Biography of F. Scott Fitzgerald by Arthur Mizener (109 Reviews)    Price verified 3 hours ago

The seminal biography of F. Scott Fitzgerald. The Far Side of Paradise was the first ever biography of F. Scott Fitzgerald, widely acclaimed as a sensitive, scholarly appraisal of the writer's life and work. With this revised edition, updated to include new information that has since surfaced, Arthur Mizener has created a definitive portrait of Fitzgerald - the man, his work, and his exciting, globe-trotting life. He explores his childhood and formative years at Princeton University, as well as his chaotic marriage to Zelda Sayre and the years they spent in Paris together with writers and artists like Hemingway and Picasso. After becoming a chronicler of the 'flapper age' in the 1920s, Fitzgerald struggled with alcoholism and despair following his wife's diagnosis as a schizophrenic. In this fascinating biography, Mizener delves into the elements of Fitzgerald's own life that influenced The Great Gatsby, as well as his other acclaimed novels. Fans of F. Scott Fitzgerald will find this an illuminating and revealing look into the man behind the books. Praise for The Far Side of Paradise: 'He tells it in an easy style throughout... it is the story of a highly gifted man who ruined himself by pursuing false ideals, who set out to redeem himself by patient effort and who had almost succeeded when he died -- not of drinking, but of overwork, Fitzgerald's books are better known today than they were in his time, but his life as Mizener presents it is even more impressive than his fiction' - Malcolm Cowley 'So intriguing and his story so fascinating in itself that you are likely to overlook the skill required for an adequate presentment of him. Mizener's presentment has a delusive air of simplicity. But that is a measure of the discretion and sobriety of the biographer and the rigor with which he has subordinated the author of the book to its subject' - Yale Review 'Timely, scholarly, but never dull' - New York Times Arthur Mizener was a professor ...

The Haunting of Kinnawe House by Steven Rigolosi (Black Rose Writing) (200 Reviews)    Price verified one minute ago

The Haunting of Kinnawe House is a ghost story that spans two eras in American history. Matthew Rollins, an aspiring singer/songwriter, takes a job as caretaker of Kinnawe House in Agamenticus, Maine. The haunting begins immediately upon Matthew's arrival, when the ghost of his mother appears. Threatening, ghostly strangers stalk the property. The cellar is filled with mysterious, foul-smelling casks. And with each day, Matthew's insomnia gets worse. The story alternates between the present, as Matthew struggles with failing health and increasingly violent hallucinations, and the 1740s, as a dark preacher populates his town with a community willing to sell their souls for a comfortable life. Past and present come together as Matthew learns, little by little, of his family's ties to Kinnawe House -- and why the house will not rest until Matthew has taken his own life. Destined to become a classic of the haunted-house genre, The Haunting of Kinnawe House traces the destruction wrought by the preacher, Parthalán Kinnawe, over multiple generations.

Do You Want a Professional Dream, a Dystopian Fantasy, and an Unforgettable Ride? Bravely Trek Through the Tantalizing Tales of Planet D'ot. A Journey brought to you by Lars Rey. Are you bored by the "rote" novels coming your way? Bore no more. This page-turner will bring you to an escape of your own, and a new vision. Are too many of your books "forgettable"? If so, DOTIAN DREAMS is for you. "Imagine a world where love is a criminal offense. So very feared, that any sign of affection (infection as the NOV call it) meant the death penalty. With one exception, mothers of young children were given temporary exceptions. However, once the child was old enough detoxification had to occur, for both mother and child. Martha belonged to a secret organization called LERN. In the words of the NOV, she was a love-lover. Having the semi-freedom to love her son Jan was a blessing. Unfortunately, the bond created would make the Love-Deprogramming school all that much more difficult. Failing the program meant imprisonment and permanent separation of mother and child (mostly because mothers tended to kill their children after completing their extra de-programming). Either way, the torture methods were perfected to break even the strongest love-lover. All the members of LERN looked forward to the day when they could escape and create their own colony. No one really knew if and when that time would come. Even if the NOV hunters didn't catch them and execute them on the spot, then they'd surely die in the wilderness. Wild animals, lack of food, no clean water, and no medications to relieve effects of the plagues. Given these harsh conditions, even the strongest colony would implode, love-lovers or not. I don't want to spoil anything for readers who have not yet picked up this book but it looks like more is going to happen in this story. I can't wait. The author has done a very good job of creating a solid three dimensional world for the reader with characters that have depth. ...
