Quando il misterioso Roy si presentera a lui per offrirgli un nuovo lavoro e una ragazza dalla bellezza surreale lo sedurra e vorra diventare la sua compagna, la sua vita prendera una direzione del tutto inaspettata. Che relazione c'e tra la Beyond Genetics e la Zicotripina, la nuova droga, comparsa sul mercato negli ultimi cinque anni?

This book provides a new interpretation of the life of W.E.B. Du Bois, one of the most important African American scholars and thinkers of the 20th century.This revealing biography captures the full life of W.E.B. Du Bois—historian, sociologist, author, editor, and a leader in the fight to bring African Americans more fully into the American landscape as well as a forceful proponent of their leaving America altogether and returning to Africa. Drawing on extensive research and including new primary documents, sidebars, and analysis, Gerald Horne and Charisse Burden-Stelly offer a portrait of this remarkable man, paying special attention to the often-overlooked radical decades at the end of Du Bois's life. The book also highlights Du Bois's relationships with and influence on civil rights activists, intellectuals, and freedom fighters, among them Booker T. Washington, Marcus Garvey, Shirley Graham Du Bois, Louise Thompson Patterson, William Alphaeus Hunton, and Martin Luther King, Jr. The biography includes a selection of primary source documents, including personal letters, speeches, poems, and newspaper articles, that provide insight into Du Bois's life based on his own words and analysis.
The year: 1947. The place: the opulent Pierre Hotel, New York City, where the distinguished Newcomen Society of England had convened. A hush fell over the room, a gathering of the titans: captains of industry, automotive magnates, and luminaries of education. They expected a dry, predictable discourse. What they received was a revelation.Stepping to the podium, a 73-year-old dynamo, Edward Beach Gallaher, seized their attention. His voice, though aged, crackled with the energy of a man who had lived a dozen lifetimes. He proceeded to unleash a torrent of tales, a whirlwind tour through the incandescent era of American invention, the late 1880s to the roaring 1920s. He chronicled his own extraordinary journey, a saga of audacious ventures, of spectacular failures that paved the way for even more spectacular triumphs. It was a life etched in the relentless pursuit of innovation, a testament to the power of unwavering determination.His speech, later published and copyrighted in 1947-a document from which we have been granted permission to abstract with due credit-was more than a mere recitation of facts. It was a glimpse into the soul of a man who embodied the spirit of his age. E.B. Gallaher: inventor, entrepreneur, car builder, and daredevil racer. A true "car guy" before the term existed, and perhaps, a practical philosopher who navigated life's complexities with a singular, often unconventional, wisdom. This book, born from the echoes of that long-ago speech, explores the life of a man who, with his "Progress in America which I have seen-since the 1880's," left behind a legacy ripe for rediscovery.Gallaher's written words reveal a mind obsessed with mechanics, automobiles, and the boundless possibilities of invention. He was a master of organization, a builder of companies, and a collector of fortunes. Yet, his political philosophy, a starkly individualistic creed, might today be branded as the "right of Attila the Hun."His heart, however, remained loyal to his alma mater, the Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, New Jersey. His final act was to bequeath his entire estate-wealth, property, and dreams-to the institution, envisioning a hub of research and innovation on his Connecticut estate. A noble ambition, tragically thwarted. The bequest vanished, swallowed by the labyrinthine bureaucracy of Stevens Institute, its fate and whereabouts shrouded in an enduring mystery.This book delves into the vibrant tapestry of E.B. Gallaher's life, particularly his exhilarating "car guy" years. Beyond the well-worn narratives, we unveil previously unpublished insights, shedding new light on the man and the era he so profoundly shaped. Prepare to journey into the extraordinary world of E.B. Gallaher, a man whose story, though decades old, resonates with a timeless urgency.
In T.E.B., Dr. Alan Graber examines the influence and legacy of Dr. Thomas Evans Brittingham II, a legendary physician and educator at Vanderbilt University. Brittingham embodied what it meant to be a doctor. He taught his trainees-by his example-how to care for sick people. This book demonstrates Brittingham as an exemplar of a medical era when a doctor's history and physical exam were the principal means of diagnosis. Brittingham's practice of doctoring still represents the essence of good patient care. "This is much more than a biography. T.E.B. was a master of bedside clinical medicine and left his legend to a generation of young doctors. If anyone was ever 'called' to the profession of medicine, it was T.E.B." -Clifton K. Meador, MD, Professor of Medicine, Emeritus, Vanderbilt University
W.E.B. Du Bois spent many decades fighting to ensure that African Americans could claim their place as full citizens and thereby fulfill the deeply compromised ideals of American democracy. Yet he died in Africa, having apparently given up on the United States. In this tour-de-force, Elvira Basevich examines this paradox by tracing the development of his life and thought and the relevance of his legacy to our troubled age. She adroitly analyses the main concepts that inform Du Bois’s critique of American democracy, such as the color line and double consciousness, before examining how these concepts might inform our understanding of contemporary struggles, from Black Lives Matter to the campaign for reparations for slavery. She stresses the continuity in Du Bois’s thought, from his early writings to his later embrace of self-segregation and Pan-Africanism, while not shying away from assessing the challenging implications of his later work. This wonderful book vindicates the power of Du Bois’s thought to help transform a stubbornly unjust world. It is essential reading for racial justice activists as well as students of African American philosophy and political thought.

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.
Judah and the Judeans in the Fourth Century B.C.E.

During the past decade, the period from the 7th century B.C.E. and later has been a major focus because it is thought to be the era when much of the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament was formed. As a result, there has also been much interest in the historical developments of that time and specifically in the status of Judah and its neighbors. Three conferences dealing roughly with a century each were organized, and the first conference was held in Tel Aviv in 2001; the proceedings of that conference were published as Judah and the Judeans in the Neo-Babylonian Period. The second volume was published in early 2006, a report on the conference held in Heidelberg in July 2003: Judah and the Judeans in the Persian Period.Judah and the Judeans in the Fourth Century B.C.E. is the publication of the proceedings of the third conference, which was held in Muenster, Germany, in August 2005; the essays in it focus on the century during which the Persian Empire fell to Alexander the Great and the Hellenistic kingdoms came to the fore.Participants whose contributions are published here are: R. Achenbach, R. Albertz, B. Becking, E. Ben Zvi, J. Blenkinsopp, E. Eshel, H. Eshel, L. L. Grabbe, A. Kloner, G. N. Knoppers, I. Kottsieper, A. Lemaire, O. Lipschits, Y. Magen, K. Schmid, I. Stern., O.

W.E.B. Du Bois: Black Reconstruction (LOA #350)
W.E.B. Du Bois; Eric Foner; Henry Louis Gates

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.
