Extract: TABLEAU I. The Double Life. The Stage represents a room in the Deacon's house, furnished partly as a sitting-, partly as a bed-room, in the style of an easy burgess of about 1780. C., a door; L. C., a second and smaller door; R. C., practicable window; L., alcove, supposed to contain bed; at the back, a clothes-press and a corner cupboard containing bottles, etc. Mary Brodie at needlework; Old Brodie, a paralytic, in wheeled chair, at the fireside, L. SCENE I To these Leslie, C. Leslie. May I come in, Mary? Mary. Why not? Leslie. I scarce knew where to find you. Mary. The dad and I must have a corner, must we not? So when my brother's friends are in the parlour he allows us to sit in his room. 'Tis a great favour, I can tell you; the place is sacred. Leslie. Are you sure that 'sacred' is strong enough? Mary. You are satirical Leslie. I? And with regard to the Deacon? Believe me, I am not so ill-advised. You have trained me well, and I feel by him as solemnly as a true-born Brodie. Mary. And now you are impertinent Do you mean to go any further? We are a fighting race, we Brodies. Oh, you may laugh, sir But 'tis no child's play to jest us on our Deacon, or, for that matter, on our Deacon's chamber either. It was his father's before him: he works in it by day and sleeps in it by night; and scarce anything it contains but is the labour of his hands. Do you see this table, Walter? He made it while he was yet a 'prentice. I remember how I used to sit and watch him at his work. It would be grand, I thought, to be able to do as he did, and handle edge-tools without cutting my fingers, and getting my ears pulled for a meddlesome minx He used to give me his mallet to keep and his nails to hold; and didn't I fly when he called for them and wasn't I proud to be ordered about with them And then, you know, there is the tall cabinet yonder; that it was that proved him the first of Edinburgh joiners, and worthy to be their Deacon and their head. And the father's chair, and the sister's workbox, and the dear dead mother's footstool-what are they all but proofs of the Deacon's skill, and tokens of the Deacon's care for those about him?... Robert Louis Balfour Stevenson (13 November 1850 - 3 December 1894) was a Scottish novelist, poet, essayist, and travel writer. His most famous works are Treasure Island, Kidnapped, Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde and A Child's Garden of Verses. A literary celebrity during his lifetime, Stevenson now ranks as the 26th most translated author in the world. His works have been admired by many other writers, including Jorge Luis Borges, Bertolt Brecht, Marcel Proust, Arthur Conan Doyle, Henry James, Cesare Pavese, Emilio Salgari, Ernest Hemingway, Rudyard Kipling, Jack London, Vladimir Nabokov, J. M. Barrie, and G. K. Chesterton, who said of him that he "seemed to pick the right word up on the point of his pen, like a man playing spillikins Stevenson was born at 8 Howard Place, Edinburgh, Scotland, on 13 November 1850 to Thomas Stevenson (1818-87), a leading lighthouse engineer, and his wife Margaret Isabella (n e Balfour; 1829-97). He was christened Robert Lewis Balfour Stevenson. At about age 18, Stevenson was to change the spelling of "Lewis" to "Louis", and in 1873 he dropped "Balfour". Lighthouse design was the family's profession: Thomas's father (Robert's grandfather) was the famous Robert Stevenson, and both of Thomas's brothers (Robert's uncles) Alan and David, were in the same field. Indeed, even Thomas's maternal grandfather, Thomas Smith, had been in the same profession. However, Robert's mother's family were not of the same profession. Margaret's natal family, the Balfours, were gentry, tracing their lineage back to a certain Alexander Balfour who had held the lands of Inchyra in Fife in the fifteenth century.
This book is a representation of my thoughts, perceptions, and honest feelings on various subject matters. It serves as a microscopic view into my mind and heart. Some of these writings come from personal experiences, things I've seen, can relate to, or just my own opinions. I hope this will provide a personal insight into who Abe Lowe IV really is; Very complex, yet simple. W.E.I.R.D. So ride with me as I take you on a roller coaster through my cognitions, exploring emotions from different time frames of my life. There are a few valleys and peaks along this journey. It is my goal that the world today is projected through my eyes. I say what most think, but are afraid to say. Strap in and prepare yourself for departure. ALL ABOARD

W.E.B. Du Bois (1868–1963) was one of the leading public figures of his time—an African American sociologist, historian, civil rights activist, author, and editor. He organised, protested, laid out programs, petitioned, and raised questions of long-term strategy and short-term tactics. He also wrote numerous books and articles and was a commanding speaker and a prodigious correspondent. Meyer Weinberg created The World of W.E.B. Du Bois to provide a short journey through Du Bois’s views on virtually all aspects of twentieth-century life. More than one thousand quotations from his published writings and correspondence are included, arranged into twenty topical chapters. Each quotation begins with a heading designed to summarise its main theme. A subject index provides additional access to the ideas of this complex figure.
This work marks the recent passing of the 100th Anniversary of Du Bois' classic of African American literature. More than fifty events and celebrations were held in cities and universities around the country. It poignantly explores the relationship of Du Bois, the man, to his writings. It is written by expert team of authors including the prominent Manning Marable. "The Souls of W. E. B. Du Bois" explores the relationship of W. E. B. Du Bois' seminal book, "The Souls of Black Folk", to other works in his scholarly portfolio and to his larger project concerning race, racial identity, and the social objectives of scholarly engagement. Prominent authors consider why the classic book remains so relevant today.

A collector's edition of the landmark study that changed our understanding of the Civil War's aftermath and the legacy of racism in America Upon publication in 1935, W.E.B. Du Bois's Black Reconstruction offered a revelatory new assessment of Reconstruction--and of American democracy itself. One of the towering African American thinkers and activists of the twentieth century, Du Bois brought all his intellectual powers to bear on America's post-Civil War era of political reorganization, a time when African American progress was met with a white supremacist backlash and ultimately yielded to the consolidation of the unjust social order underpinning Jim Crow. Black Reconstruction is a pioneering, exemplary work of revisionist scholarship that, in the wake of censorship toward Du Bois's characterization of Reconstruction by the Encyclopaedia Britannica, was written to debunk influential historians whose racist ideas and emphases had disfigured the historical record. The chief witness in Reconstruction, the emancipated slave himself, writes Du Bois, has been almost barred from court. His written Reconstruction record has been largely destroyed and nearly always neglected. In setting the record straight Du Bois produced what Eric Foner has called an indispensable book, a magisterial work of detached scholarship that is also imbued with passionate outrage. Here presented in a handsome hardcover edition, with an illuminating editor's introduction and an authoritative text, Black Reconstruction is joined, for the first time in a single volume with important writings that trace his thinking throughout his career about Reconstruction and its centrality in understanding American democracy.
Introducing and presenting thirty core texts from the sociological writings of W. E. B. Du Bois, Robert Wortham's unique reader highlights Du Bois as a multifaceted researcher and thinker who, by attempting to approach African American social life from every angle, became a pioneer in American sociology. As this astute reader demonstrates, in addition to his profound contributions to our understanding of racial inequality in the United States, Du Bois made momentous advances in the areas of research methods, social problems, community studies, population studies, the sociology of religion, and crime and deviance. When sociology appeared to be heading toward a deductive methodology, Du Bois presented a strong argument for inductive methods, advocating for the use of a more interdisciplinary approach. Eventually, combining sociological perspectives with those of history and anthropology, he developed his landmark approach: methodological triangulation.In this long-overdue volume, Wortham showcases the enormous influence of Du Bois's wide-ranging sociological imagination. Organized into four major parts--""The Scientific Study of Society and Social Problems,"" ""Social Structure and Social Processes,"" ""Dimensions of Inequality,"" and ""Social Dynamics""--the reader concludes with a complete biography of Du Bois' early sociological works.

It's been almost twenty years since I saw the best friend I have ever met or would ever meet in the final years of my life, Aniruddh Ahuja Yeah, it's been two decades and that's a big number... Those days, when we worked in the army, we were betrayed and the base of the Indian Army, which we were a part of, was attacked. This compelled us to join the most secret association ever formed in India, The Crucial Representation of Eager Warriors or C.R.E.W. After spending a lot of time and going through the darkest phase Aniruddh or even I would've gone through, we found our man. The man who constrained us to leave the Army. But the way to seek vengeance from this man has a lot of political, gritty, and dark curbs. Then our adventure begins to carry out a mission... A mission that even isn't supported by the government... A mission not only to eliminate just a group of people but also their mentality... A mission against one of the biggest terrorist groups of the world... And finally a mission which is the sum of Operation Vindicta and Operation Stigma Removal... In short, this is story is about a man who handled a considerable amount of troubles in his life to complete a fourteen-year-old manhunt
