Good News to Scotland. A Sermon Preached in the Parish of Carluke, in Clydsdale; Upon the 8th. day of July 1680. By ... Richard Cameron. To Which is Added, an Acrostick Upon his Name,
The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.The Age of Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking. Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade. The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a debate that continues in the twenty-first century.++++The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.

Richard Cameron's most popular and acclaimed work together in one volume introduced by the author This volume includes Can't Stand Up for Falling Down, Pond Life, Mortal Ash and All of You Mine. Can't Stand Up for Falling Down, written as interweaving monologues, is a contemporary coming-of-age play set in rural Yorkshire and centres around a death that may not be quite as accidental as it seems "Cameron's play is itself cumulatively and salutarily devastating...building up a picture from many partial perspectives, the monologues are beautifully arranged" (Independent); Pond Life is a play about a life-changing fishing expedition "the unpatronisingly sensitive vignette of adolescence explores more angles than angling in these youngsters' lives" (Mail on Sunday); Mortal Ash is a tale of youthful love, death and regeneration; All of You Mine deals with the miners' strike of 1984 and it's effects on an ex-pit village near Doncaster "there is a remorseless Ibsen-like vigour about the way he uncovers lies, motives and bad faith" (Sunday Times)." Over the past few years, Cameron has emerged as the shrewd chronicler of a small-town, post industrial England whose experience is quite distinct from that of city dwellers." (Guardian)

Flower Girls is the funny, beautifully observed and uplifting story of a group of disabled women who live and work at The Crippleage, Edgware. Inspired by the personal testimony and reminiscences of real-life Flower Girls, the play shifts effortlessly between the unsettled early years of World War II and the seemingly more liberated world of 1965. Their stories reveal an indomitable spirit and a fierce determination to find their place in the world, a world that prefers to keep them at a safe distance. "A red button. From a red coat...I collected them. From every coat of every new arrival at the orphanage, before they were sold to the rag man. And I would wait until they were at their homesick worst. A penny to hold it, a shilling to keep it." Britain's foremost disabled-led theatre company Graeae joins forces with The New Wolsey Theatre Ipswich to present the world premiere of this play on 5 October 2007. The play is published as a programme text to coincide with the production.

There's always somebody who spoils a party isn't there? You get the loud, self-opinionated, heavily intoxicated guest who, ignoring subtle hints that it might be best to tone down their outrageous comments and behaviour, stumbles around giving forth until the embarrassed host is forced to ask them to leave.Then you've got the gate-crashers who've heard there's a lot of fun and booze to be had and swan in uninvited to enjoy themselves, quite literally at others' expense, without knowing or even caring whose party it is. Everyone there, even the host, assumes they must be friends with someone there so their presence goes unquestioned until they make a nuisance of themselves.There's Godfrey in the kitchen peeking behind the fridge, while Nigel has nipped off to the toilet with his pint of beer to have a crafty cigarette and escape from Julia's stream of homophobic remarks.Whose party is it anyway Read some of the most interesting quotes from UKIP's most colourful characters and decide for yourself
Thoughts of Thoreau

In his own day, Henry David Thoreau was not a highly influential personality, more a minor irritation to the Establishment with his views that were regarded as akin to advocating anarchy and his anti-slavery sentiments. He was one of the first to put forward the concept of civil disobedience as a way to counter bad government, which was later adopted with notable success by Gandhi and others. But he was also a poet, environmentalist, teacher, philosopher and essayist.Today he is recognised as a great thinker, well ahead of his time. His writings contain a great deal of wisdom and idealism. In this book, you will find many quotations to provoke thought and discussion and raise questions that are very relevant to our own day.

For many people in the English-speaking world, Victor Hugo's name immediately brings up his novels The Hunchback of Notre Dame and Les Mis rables. Their enduring success has overshadowed his many other achievements: he was a playwright, poet, politician and philosopher. And above all, he was a constant campaigner for social justice, for prison reform, abolition of the death penalty and the rights of women. He also campaigned against the excessive power of established religion on people's lives, declaring himself a freethinker.As a philosopher and social commentator, he was ahead of his time and his writings are still very relevant today, as the quotations in this book will reveal. They will raise many questions in your mind.
