Описание: Thepublication of the Eleventh Edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica in 1911 marked the last stand of the Enlightenment and a turbulent end to an era. The Eleventh Edition summed up the high point of optimism and belief in human progress that dominated Anglo-Saxon thought from the time of the Enlightenment. Eagerly embraced by hundreds of thousands of middle-class Americans, the Eleventh Edition was read as a twenty-nine-volume anthology of some of the best essays written in English. Among the names of those who contributed to its volumes: T. H. Huxley, Algernon Swinburne, Bertrand Russell; it was the work of 1,500 eminent contributors and was edited by Hugh Chisholm, charismatic star editor. The Britannica combined scholarship and readability in a way no previous encyclopedia had or ever has again. Within less than a decade after its publication, the Edwardian worldview was at an end: the "unsinkable" White Star Titanic had sunk on its maiden voyage; Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated and the Great War had begun. In Everything Explained That Is Explainable, Denis Boyles tells the audacious, improbable story of twentieth-century American hucksterism and vision that resurrected a dying Encyclopaedia Britannica by means of a floundering London Times, and writes of how its astonishing success changed publishing and produced the Britannica's Eleventh Edition, still the most revered--all 44 million words--of English-language encyclopedias, considered by many to be the last great work of the age of reason. The author writes of the man whose inspiration it was: Horace Everett Hooper, American entrepreneur who stumbled into the book business at sixteen on a hunch that he could make money selling inexpensive editions of classics by direct mail to isolated settlers scattered across the American West. Hooper found an outdated set of reference books gathering dust in a warehouse, bought them for almost nothing, repackaged them, and sold them on credit as "one-shelf libraries" to farmers concerned about their children's education in frontier schools; his Western Book and Stationery Company became one of the largest publishers in the Midwest, sending books directly to readers, bypassing traditional booksellers, and inventing a model that was forever after emulated . . . Boyles writes that Hooper and his partner, Henry Haxton, a former Hearst reporter and ingenious adman, came across the Encyclopaedia Britannica, published by Adam & Charles Black, whose Ninth Edition's final volume, published in 1890, was seen by many as the height of English intellectual achievement. The Ninth had everything an encyclopedia needed. Except readers. Hooper and Haxton came up with a new market for the encyclopedia's next two editions, which they planned to produce, and approached the then-struggling London Times, which became their publishing partner. Boyles tells the outlandish, bumpy tale of the making of the Eleventh; of the young staff of university graduates working with fanatical conviction (40,000 entries by 1,500-odd contributors), scattered around the globe . . . more than 200 members of the Royal Society or fellows of the British Academy; diplomats; government officials; officers of learned societies . . . contributions by the most admired writers, thinkers, and scientists of the day; of their scheme to sell the Eleventh Edition and of the storm that erupted around its publication--and after. An extraordinary tale of American know-how, enterprise, and spirit.

Описание: You Can't Stop the Revolution is a vivid participant ethnography inside of Ferguson protests, as the Black Lives Matter movement exploded onto the global stage. Sociologist Andrea Boyles offers an everyday montage of protests, social ties, and empowerment as coalescing to safeguard black lives while simultaneously igniting unprecedented 21st-century resistance. Focusing on neighborhood crime prevention and contentious black citizen-police interactions, all in the context of preserving black lives, this book examines how black citizens work to combat disorder, crime, and police conflict. Boyles offers an insider's analysis of cities like Ferguson, where the socialization of indifference leaves black neighborhoods vulnerable to citizen and state conflict, all in a climate where black lives are not only seemingly expendable but also held responsible for their own oppression. You Can't Stop the Revolution serves as a reminder that community empowerment is still possible in neighborhoods infected with police brutality and interpersonal violence.

Описание: MASK OF THE HIGHLANDER: Ty Voss is returning home after years fighting the English in France. He is anxious to return to his beautiful wife and finally meet the daughter he has never known. Kenna dreads her husband's homecoming like the plague. The man she married is a cruel tyrant. She had prayed he would be killed in the fighting, freeing her from a life of brutal torment and a loveless marriage. But the man on her doorstep is not the same. This man is kind, gentle and sparks a fire in her she never felt in the early days of her marriage. Could he be an impostor? REMEMBERING SKYLINE: Ben has been hanging Christmas lights during his down season for years. It was simply what he did to get by from one river cabin season to the next. But this year, due to an unfortunate incident, he finds himself in the emergency room. When he walks out of the hospital, having no memory of his life before, he assumes the role of a Scotsman, figuring that's who he is since there's a kilt hanging in his closet, fresh from the dry cleaners. The only thing is, he's not Scottish at all. But he can't be talked out if it and assumes the randy role with gusto. Cassidy has had enough And Ben is at the top of her list. She's been trying for years to get Ben's attention. But no. Not until he's lost all of his memory, that is. Now she can't get away from him and he doesn't even know his own name. UNLIKELY REBEL: "I loved him the moment his dark eyes met mine, and I swore I would do anything to get him." The year was 2087, the height of the second Civil War. The Patriot Party waged a fiery assault against the government in response to the oil drought. They were successful, winning cities and territories, burning as they went... So begins Book One of the Dark Revolution series, a tale where the future is ruled by an elite group that dictates what people eat, what they wear, even who they marry. Caught in the middle is Anna Hinton, a young woman torn between her desire for Branthe, a mysterious rebel, and loyalty to her family. But when Branthe reveals a secret that shakes the very foundation of her beliefs, will the truth prove too much for Anna to handle?
