Excerpt from Forgotten Lives, Vol. 1 of 3 The girl rose and stood back with a timid depressed air, while the owner of the cracked voice came forward and warmed her plump, pudgy hands by the decaying fire. There ought not to be a fire in the schoolroom so late as this, she said; it is nearly nine o'clock. I shall fine you, Miss Lethbridge, if this occurs again. It was so very cold, ma'am, returned the girl in a patient, low voice, and I have only thrown on the Cinders. I have not put on any fresh coal. Fresh coal, and only yourself in the schoolroom 1 exclaimed the plump lady in a tone of amazement; I should hope not.

Discover your path of personal and professional development with this practical guide to actively and purposefully engaging with your own past. Most of us don't use our yesterdays very well. With so much focus on living in the moment, we neglect to engage in creative reflection on our personal histories. In The Power Of Your Past, John Schuster demonstrates that the past is the most valuable, most accessible, and yet most under-utilized resource for anyone wanting to make positive changes. Offering a practical three-phase model for working with one’s past—Recalling, Reclaiming, and Recasting—Schuster illustrates the process with inspiring histories of those who have experienced transformative results. Schuster provides insight, encouragement, and practical steps for essential professional and personal development. Readers who follow this model will make progress in their endeavors, overcome persistent obstacles, and make decisions based on their own truth rather than relying on someone else’s.

This book takes the reader on an enchanting journey into the lives of fourteen genius scientists who lived during the enlightenment period to the mid-twentieth century. They suffered ethnic, gender, sexual prejudices, cultural and religious taboos, poverty, and epidemics. Most lived a very short life. And yet, their intuition and perseverance prevailed, and their pioneering discoveries changed the world. Their tragic lives faded away over time. However, the fruits of their work, including computer and nuclear technologies, space science, artificial intelligence, and genetic engineering, have shaped our lives. When we look back, their inspirational life stories appear more fictional than real. Each story takes the reader into varying times, places, customs, and environments. The book should interest not only a science nerd but also an armchair reader who loves fiction.

Providing fast-action science fiction novels, Startling Stories was established beginning in January 1939 as a sister publication to Thrilling Wonder Stories. Publishing 99 issues in all, and combining Fantastic Story Magazine and Thrilling Wonder Stories with its ninety-seventh issue, it finally suspended publication in Fall 1955, one of the last of the pulps to fold. Leon L. Gammell, an avid reader and collector of that period, views that era's stories with both nostalgia and objectivity; his incisive critiques will provide interested readers with numerous guideposts to a wealth of exciting fantasy and SF reading.

The phrase “early modern” challenges readers and scholars to explore ways in which that period expands and refines contemporary views of the modern. The original essays in Milton’s Modernities undertake such exploration in the context of the work of John Milton, a poet whose prodigious energies simultaneously point to the past and future. Bristling with insights on Milton’s major works, Milton’s Modernities offers fresh perspectives on the thinkers central to our theorizations of modernity: from Lucretius and Spinoza, Hegel and Kant, to Benjamin and Deleuze. At the volume's core is an embrace of the possibilities unleashed by current trends in philosophy, variously styled as the return to ethics, or metaphysics, or religion. These make all the more visible Milton’s dialogues with later modernity, dialogues that promise to generate much critical discussion in early modern studies and beyond. Such approaches necessarily challenge many prevailing assumptions that have guided recent Milton criticism—assumptions about context and periodization, for instance. In this way, Milton’s Modernities powerfully broadens the historical archive beyond the materiality of events and things, incorporating as well intellectual currents, hybrids, and insights.
