Its purpose is to describe author biases and how they chose data to emphasize their storylines, while justifying myriad causes of the accusers. Switching Sides: How a Generation of Historians Lost Sympathy for the Victims of the Salem Witch Hunt is not a history book, Fels explains. However, in looking for underlying causes of the witch hunts, Fels claims these writers lost sight of the real victims-the accused witches. These influential books, published between 19, are “exemplary histories that have greatly augmented the world’s knowledge of witch hunting in 17th-century America,” according to Tony Fels, associate professor of history at the University of San Francisco. Only a handful of books published on the Salem witch hunts have become standard textbooks in classrooms and popular among the reading public. ![]() ![]() ![]() Including my virginity.īut the more I try to gain his attention, the more I see the real him.

Ostensibly a utopia, this new world order isn't entirely new its blueprint is drawn from the philosophies of Enlightenment thinkers such as Diderot and Voltaire, in the same way Canner's narrative frames the tale as if he were Dr. It imagines Earth in the year 2424 as a radically different place, with every facet of society reordered from top to bottom. This jarring form of narrative is just one of the many challenging things about Lightning. Yes, Canner addresses the reader throughout the book as the main character and narrator, he breaks the fourth wall so pervasively that he feels compelled to explain himself. "I am grateful, so grateful, tolerant reader, that you read on," says Mycroft Canner halfway through Too Like the Lightning, Ada Palmer's awe-inspiring debut novel. ![]() Your purchase helps support NPR programming.

Translated into sixty-five languages, Kon-Tiki is a classic, inspiring tale of daring and courage - a magnificent saga of men against the sea. After three months on the open sea, encountering raging storms, whales, and sharks, they sighted land - the Polynesian island of Puka Puka. On April 28, 1947, Heyerdahl and five other adventurers sailed from Peru on a balsa log raft. He decided to prove his theory by duplicating the legendary voyage. Intrigued by Polynesian folklore, biologist Thor Heyerdahl suspected that the South Sea Islands had been settled by an ancient race from thousands of miles to the east, led by a mythical hero, Kon-Tiki. Kon-Tiki is the record of an astonishing adventure - a journey of 4,300 nautical miles across the Pacific Ocean by raft. Now a major motion picture, Kon-Tiki is the record of Thor Heyerdahl’s astonishing three-month voyage across the Pacific. ![]() ![]() ![]() It is beautifully written, wonderfully easy to get through and written so vividly that you often feel like you’re in those courtrooms or actually chatting with the author over a cup of tea in their kitchen. ![]() I raise my prediction only because this is no dry tome about law. ![]() I’ll be impressed if, one day, it turns out the unmasked SB is indeed a male of the species. the author writes so compassionately and sympathetically it is hard to imagine a man so skilled. While it doesn’t matter in terms of judging quality, I continue to believe SB is a woman simply because, again. In this latest book, SB turns a sharp eye to the media and how MPs utterly trash the reputation of the courts and legal practitioners with huge detrimental impact on everyone – and often creating situations of considerable danger. In the first book, the author looked at the legal system and demonstrated all but unequivocally that government under-funding and distinctly iffy traditions (don’t ever go to Magistrate’s Court if you can help it) have led to a system on its knees. The anonymous ‘Secret Barrister’ is back with another hard-hitting and surprisingly emotional roller-coaster ride of a book about exactly what’s going wrong in law. ![]() |
