The essays contained in this volume were composed as lectures throughout the 1980's. The studies on science and Mormonism and the House of Israel are the work of Michael T. Walton. The analysis of the Book of Abraham is a joint composition of Phyllis J. Walton and Michael T. Walton. They were never intended as definitive studies, rather as encouragements to scholars to look at certain issues and patterns of facts. They were well received at the time of delivery. They are noted from time to time in scholarly works and listed on internet search engines and book lists. Because they have been cited and because they are listed as our work, we were concerned that they were not readily available for consultation. We have also taken the opportunity to correct some, but not all, spelling and grammatical errors, clarify certain comments, and, very occasionally, add information. They remain, however, a product of their time and do not reflect current scholarship.

How can educators engage students in learning about conflict, human rights, and historical remembrance in ways that enhance global awareness, foster empathy, and encourage a commitment to justice? Teaching Conflict-Related Sexual Violence Through Human Rights Education: The Case of the Japanese Military's "Comfort Women" meets this challenge. More than a specialized topic, the case of the Japanese military's "comfort women" system, a powerful example of conflict-related sexual violence, opens discussions on the protection of human rights, the role of institutional practices, and the debates around commemoration. Framed through human rights education, this practical guide equips educators with background knowledge, lesson plans, resources, and classroom strategies for addressing an often-overlooked area of social studies. Designed for use across subjects and contexts, this book supports teachers in moving beyond presenting human rights as an abstract topic by equipping educators to confront difficult histories while expanding students' understanding of both past and present.

A New York Times notable book of 2023 A finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for biography Winner of the 2024 George Washington Prize" An] erudite, enlightening new biography . . . Waldstreicher's] interpretations equal Wheatley's own intentional verse, making it a joy to follow along as he unpacks her words and their arrangement." --Tiya Miles, The Atlantic"Thoroughly researched, beautifully rendered and cogently argued . . . The Odyssey of Phillis Wheatley is . . .] historical biography at its best." --Kerri Greenidge, The New York Times Book Review (Editors' Choice)A paradigm-shattering biography of Phillis Wheatley, whose extraordinary poetry set African American literature at the heart of the American Revolution. Admired by George Washington, ridiculed by Thomas Jefferson, published in London, and read far and wide, Phillis Wheatley led one of the most extraordinary American lives. Seized in West Africa and forced into slavery as a child, she was sold to a merchant family in Boston, where she became a noted poet at a young age. Mastering the Bible, Greek and Latin translations, and the works of Pope and Milton, she composed elegies for local elites, celebrated political events, praised warriors, and used her verse to variously lampoon, question, and assert the injustice of her enslaved condition. "Can I then but pray / Others may never feel tyrannic sway?" By doing so, she added her voice to a vibrant, multisided conversation about race, slavery, and discontent with British rule; before and after her emancipation, her verses shook up racial etiquette and used familiar forms to create bold new meanings. She demonstrated a complex but crucial fact of the times: that the American Revolution both strengthened and limited Black slavery. In this new biography, the historian David Waldstreicher offers the fullest account to date of Wheatley's life and works, correcting myths, reconstructing intimate friendships, and deepening our understanding of her verse and the revolutionary era. Throughout The Odyssey of Phillis Wheatley, he demonstrates the continued vitality and resonance of a woman who wrote, in a founding gesture of American literature, "Thy Power, O Liberty, makes strong the weak / And (wond'rous instinct) Ethiopians speak."
The stories of three men on death row are entwined in the notorious Itzedin prison in Kalami, Crete during the years between 1950 and 1960. Panos, a political prisoner, Odysseas, a painter of icons, and Menelaos, a shepherd―they all await their execution. The first one is convicted because of his involvement in the Resistance with the leftists, the other two are convicted of the murder of their wives, although they were innocent.
