This book, originally published in 1974 by Little, Brown and Company, is a sweeping reexamination of the economic foundations of American Negro slavery. Based upon a vast research effort, this volume constitutes an entirely new portrayal of slavery's past. It challenges traditional assumptions about the material condition and management of slaves, their work habits, domestic welfare, and the economy of the antebellum South in general.
You are invited to join the author to explore our ancient religious beliefs and reconcile them with current scientific knowledge. Is it readily apparent that God, by God's original intent, is not eternal, infinite, and all-knowing? This breakthrough in thinking makes it abundantly clear that we are, indeed, created in God's vulnerable image. God is vulnerable in the sense that by designing humankind with free will, God suffers when humanity suffers. Is it reasonable that our soul is judged not at the end of life but on a real-time basis through a concept called spiritual entanglement? As surely as gravity provides a constant universal attractive force, God's spiritual strength is continually and equally present in all humans, providing the basis for radically improving our lives and our human relationships. We communicate with God by Spiritual Entanglement in the sense that it is the Alpha spirit that unites humankind and has received many names by many religions. If we can acknowledge this core belief which has existed from the Alpha and will exist through the Omega, we can celebrate in a thousand diverse ways. Once we accept that God exists and is equally present in every human life, we can begin to bridge the divide which exists between nations and religions. This book is a beginning step, from a Christian perspective, which explores God's desires as articulated in the parables taught by Jesus. The parables represent a handbook outlining a partial list of qualities that God loves and endorses in individual human relationships. God directs the Word at individuals in the parables, and not organizations, governments, or world leaders. The advice offered two thousand years ago is valid to this day and is readily available to those who experience "missingness" and wish to move closer to God. God II represents an initial attempt to rethink our miraculous humanity and open channels of communication with all our brothers and sisters. God II becomes our partner and is there to help us enhance our own lives and guide us in ways to mend our planet. A perfect book for a lively religious discussion group, a study guide of the parables of Jesus, or as a confidence builder that God exists, your life will be enhanced by embracing new possibilities. In studying the parables of Jesus, we have elected to utilize the older public domain version to capture the "vintage" reading of the Bible and the older but clearer ERV version for newcomers to the Bible. There are sixty or seventy other versions which you might own in your home, but none matches the clarity of the ERV version.
""The Union Pacific Railroad: A Case in Premature Enterprise"" by Robert William Fogel is a historical account of the Union Pacific Railroad, one of the most significant transportation projects in American history. The book explores the origins of the railroad, its construction, and the challenges it faced in its early years.Fogel argues that the Union Pacific was a case of premature enterprise, meaning that it was built before the market demand for transportation was sufficient to support it. He examines the factors that led to the decision to build the railroad, including the political and economic climate of the time, and the technological innovations that made it possible.The book also delves into the social and economic impact of the Union Pacific on the American West, including the displacement of Native American communities and the growth of towns and cities along the railroad's route.Overall, ""The Union Pacific Railroad: A Case in Premature Enterprise"" provides a comprehensive and detailed account of one of America's most important transportation projects, offering insights into the complex factors that shaped its development and impact on American history.Johns Hopkins University Studies In Historical And Political Science, V78, No. 2.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

This is the first book in Fogelstrom's five-volume Stockholm Series, which broke the record for bestsellers in his native Sweden. After reading the series in Swedish, Jennifer Brown Baverstam, an accomplished translator of Swedish and French, and married to a Swede, vowed to make these books available in English to share with her American family and friends. Per Anders Fogelstrom was delighted with this effort and worked with Jennifer until his death in 1998.This remarkable book tells the tale of Henning Nilsson and his family, a family whose origins and growth in the underclass of nineteenth-century Stockholm mirror the growth of Stockholm itself into a modern European metropolis. Beginning with the arrival in the city of the fifteen-year-old Henning, barefoot and penniless, on the eve of the industrial revolution, it continues with the story of his impassioned struggle for a fully human life. Powerfully written, "City of My Dreams" sweeps the reader along in a historical saga of fortune and love in a society experiencing great social and political upheaval.

In a City Transformed is the fourth volume of the acclaimed Stockholm Series by Per Anders Fogelstr m. It opens with the watershed year of 1928, on the eve of the Great Depression. As Sweden heads toward the years of economic crisis and massive unemployment, we the readers reacquaint ourselves with well-loved characters from previous volumes as they age and ponder their existence. The dramatic turns of events of younger characters' lives capture the reader, as they enter adulthood in a volatile period in history. People grow and change as does the ever-transforming city, and meanwhile, the world becomes engulfed in yet another world war. The war unfolds through the words and thoughts of Fogelstr m's Swedish citizens. During these troubled times, Sweden as a nation transforms itself, with the state taking on greater social responsibility, and developing what would henceforth become known as "the Swedish model."
