Reminiscences in the Life of Elder T. C. Townsend, as Written by Himself (Classic Reprint) by Thomas C. Townsend Pdf

Excerpt from Reminiscences in the Life of Elder T. C. Townsend, as Written by Himself The author lays no claim to notoriety, or erudition, sufficient to attract the enlightened public of this age. But, having passed seventy-five years in this sinful but otherwise beautiful world and knowing that he must soon leave it, and some reminiscences in his life'be lost to posterity, and being persuaded to the arduous task by some - especially his old friend and blind editor, I. M. Dixon, of Des Moines, trusting that some humble follower of the Lord Jesus Christ might profit by his long experience in this world, as also his half-century experience in the Church to this end he has solemnly written this little volume. He has aimed to avoid personalities as much as circumstances would permit - so much so that some good stories are spoiled for the want of names. He has aimed to give facts, and let them stand for their worth in the estimation of an enlightened public. If, in any instance, he has erred, an intelligent and charitable public will attribute it to the want of recollection at this advanced age, rather than a disposition to vary from the truth. He claims to have the highest good of his fellow man in view. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1874 edition. Excerpt: ... That night of gloom was followed by a clear and resplendent morning. The sun arose without a cloud to obscure his ardent rays; and there was no evidence that two fierce thunder-storms had swept over the country during the previous night, save that which was found in the globules of rain in the glistening leaves and grass, the rivulets flowing by the wayside, and the muddy condition of the road. There was a very late breakfast at Mr. Belgrave's residence; but the persons who gathered around the board gave decided proof that the cloud was lifted from the family again, and that the old days of cheerfulness were in a fair way of restoration. Even Mrs. Belgrave, who had been suffering for weeks from depression of spirits and physical debility, was at her old place at the head of the table, presiding there with her usual dignity arid grace. Near the mother sat the irrepressible Bessie, out of her wits with joy at her mother's re-appearance in the dining room. Clifford was there also, apparently enjoying the meal with great relish. The countenance of Charles was grave and thoughtful, but it betokened no unhappiness. William, from his place at the foot of the table, had, when they all sat down, offered up fervent thanks for the preservation of their lives and for the bounteous gifts of Providence conferred on them, concluding with a devout petition for the speedy restoration of his father to health and happiness. John and George, both of them robust and handsome lads, were at their places, luxuriating in the grand breakfast which the skillful hands of Dinah had provided. Meantime, the old servant in the kitchen was preparing breakfast for the invalid upstairs; and when it was all ready, Bessie, whose meal had been dispatched, would not rest...

The WEIRDest People in the World by Joseph Henrich Pdf

A New York Times Notable Book of 2020 A Bloomberg Best Non-Fiction Book of 2020 A Behavioral Scientist Notable Book of 2020 A Human Behavior & Evolution Society Must-Read Popular Evolution Book of 2020 A bold, epic account of how the co-evolution of psychology and culture created the peculiar Western mind that has profoundly shaped the modern world. Perhaps you are WEIRD: raised in a society that is Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic. If so, you’re rather psychologically peculiar. Unlike much of the world today, and most people who have ever lived, WEIRD people are highly individualistic, self-obsessed, control-oriented, nonconformist, and analytical. They focus on themselves—their attributes, accomplishments, and aspirations—over their relationships and social roles. How did WEIRD populations become so psychologically distinct? What role did these psychological differences play in the industrial revolution and the global expansion of Europe during the last few centuries? In The WEIRDest People in the World, Joseph Henrich draws on cutting-edge research in anthropology, psychology, economics, and evolutionary biology to explore these questions and more. He illuminates the origins and evolution of family structures, marriage, and religion, and the profound impact these cultural transformations had on human psychology. Mapping these shifts through ancient history and late antiquity, Henrich reveals that the most fundamental institutions of kinship and marriage changed dramatically under pressure from the Roman Catholic Church. It was these changes that gave rise to the WEIRD psychology that would coevolve with impersonal markets, occupational specialization, and free competition—laying the foundation for the modern world. Provocative and engaging in both its broad scope and its surprising details, The WEIRDest People in the World explores how culture, institutions, and psychology shape one another, and explains what this means for both our most personal sense of who we are as individuals and also the large-scale social, political, and economic forces that drive human history. Includes black-and-white illustrations.

Folk Devils and Moral Panics by Stanley Cohen Pdf

'Richly documented and convincingly presented' -- New Society Mods and Rockers, skinheads, video nasties, designer drugs, bogus asylum seeks and hoodies. Every era has its own moral panics. It was Stanley Cohen's classic account, first published in the early 1970s and regularly revised, that brought the term 'moral panic' into widespread discussion. It is an outstanding investigation of the way in which the media and often those in a position of political power define a condition, or group, as a threat to societal values and interests. Fanned by screaming media headlines, Cohen brilliantly demonstrates how this leads to such groups being marginalised and vilified in the popular imagination, inhibiting rational debate about solutions to the social problems such groups represent. Furthermore, he argues that moral panics go even further by identifying the very fault lines of power in society. Full of sharp insight and analysis, Folk Devils and Moral Panics is essential reading for anyone wanting to understand this powerful and enduring phenomenon. Professor Stanley Cohen is Emeritus Professor of Sociology at the London School of Economics. He received the Sellin-Glueck Award of the American Society of Criminology (1985) and is on the Board of the International Council on Human Rights. He is a member of the British Academy.

The Autobiography of Malcolm X by Malcolm X,Alex Haley Pdf

Malcolm X's blazing, legendary autobiography, completed shortly before his assassination in 1965, depicts a remarkable life: a child born into rage and despair, who turned to street-hustling and cocaine in the Harlem ghetto, followed by prison, where he converted to the Black Muslims and honed the energy and brilliance that made him one of the most important political figures of his time - and an icon in ours. It also charts the spiritual journey that took him beyond militancy, and led to his murder, a powerful story of transformation, redemption and betrayal. Vilified by his critics as an anti-white demagogue, Malcolm X gave a voice to unheard African-Americans, bringing them pride, hope and fearlessness, and remains an inspirational and controversial figure today.
