He brought as many things as possible from the wrecked ship, things that would be useful later to him. He was thrown upon shore only to discover that he was the sole survivor of the wreck.Ĭrusoe made immediate plans for food, and then shelter, to protect himself from wild animals. After surviving a storm, Crusoe and the others were shipwrecked. Hoping to increase his wealth by buying slaves, he aligned himself with other planters and undertook a trip to Africa in order to bring back a shipload of slaves. He landed in Brazil, and, after some time, he became the owner of a sugar plantation. He was rescued by a Portuguese ship and started a new adventure. His captors sent Crusoe out to fish, and he used this to his advantage and escaped, along with a slave. ![]() Taking off again, Crusoe met with bad luck and was taken prisoner in Sallee. Ashamed to go home, Crusoe boarded another ship and returned from a successful trip to Africa.

Robinson Crusoe, as a young and impulsive wanderer, defied his parents and went to sea. ![]() 6/29/2023 0 Comments Free speech by jacob mchangama![]() ![]() He admits that there are legitimate concerns about misinformation. He credits the medieval period, despite its penchant for censorship, with developing a culture of curiosity, fertile ground in which the first universities were planted. While Mchangama is clearly a partisan of free speech and the Enlightenment, he is fair and thoughtful as he details important events and movements through the last twenty-five centuries. I dare say it would make good beach reading for the dog days of summer. ![]() Yet it is strikingly scholarly and highly detailed, but not overly so. Jacob Mchangamas excellent new book, Free Speech: A History from Socrates to Social Media, is breathtaking in its scope, covering twenty-five hundred years in a breezy, easy to follow style. The history of free speech is a history with many villains, few heroes, and more than a few fools. Radical Enlightenment figures like Voltaire, Diderot, and d∪lembert were not exempt from this trend. Once the tables had turned, the once censored became the censor. There have been many free speech champions, but few could withstand the temptation of censorship when it came to ones own reputation or pet causes. ![]() Scott AtlasĮveryone knows that the history of free speech is replete with examples of free speech for me, but not for thee. The excuse that Im for free speech, but goes too far is one of the oldest in the book. ![]() Single Issues of The Independent Review.Podcast: Independent Outlook / Conversations.International Economics and Development. ![]() 6/29/2023 0 Comments Life on mars pulitzer![]() ![]() With this remarkable third collection, Smith establishes herself among the best poets of her generation. These poems reveal the realities of life lived here, on the ground, where a daughter is imprisoned in the basement by her own father, where celebrities and pop stars walk among us, and where the poet herself loses her father, one of the engineers who worked on the Hubble Space Telescope. Smith envisions a sci-fi future sucked clean of any real dangers, contemplates the dark matter that keeps people both close and distant, and revisits the kitschy concepts like "love" and "illness" now relegated to the Museum of Obsolescence. With allusions to David Bowie and interplanetary travel, Life on Mars imagines a soundtrack for the universe to accompany the discoveries, failures, and oddities of human existence. You lie there kicking like a baby, waiting for God himself Smith, whose "lyric brilliance and political impulses never falter" ( Publishers Weekly, starred review) New poetry by the award-winning poet Tracy K. ![]() ![]() * A New Yorker, Library Journal and Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year * * A New York Times Notable Book of 2011 and New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice * ![]() 6/29/2023 0 Comments Atlantis by Ignatius L. Donnelly![]() ![]() ![]() Despite the many more recent discoveries that have proved many of his "facts" to be false, his arguments still dazzle and his central myth continues to fascinate. Displaying an immense knowledge of Platonic and Biblical material, comparative archeological discoveries, folk traditions of deluges, and geological data supporting catastrophic volcanic activity, Donnelly staggered his readers with "facts" and overwhelmed them with his many brilliant arguments. ![]() It is a measure of the power of the Atlantis myth that, despite all the evidence to the contrary, the idea of a submerged Atlantic Ocean continent remains vigorous today, long after Donnelly's work first appeared.Ī lawyer and politician before he turned to writing, Ignatius Donnelly (1831‒1901) spent many years amassing evidence for his book on Atlantis. ![]() Attracting hundreds of thousands of readers and stimulating vast debate, it influenced generations of people including countless scientists who went on to do serious work in their fields, and numerous science-fiction writers. The great classic of Atlantis, this book more than any other established the existence of this lost continent for the modern world. ![]() 6/29/2023 0 Comments The werewolf of fever swamp book![]() ![]() I devoured The Haunted Mask dying to know what the monstrous latex mold clinging to the girl on the paperback might be capable of.
