Book Description
For Humanity's Sake is the first study in English to trace the genealogy of the classic Russian novel, from Pushkin to Tolstoy to Dostoevsky. Lina Steiner demonstrates how these writers' shared concern for individual and national education played a major role in forging a Russian cultural identity. For Humanity's Sake highlights the role of the critic Apollon Grigor'ev, who was first to formulate the difference between Western European and Russian conceptions of national education or Bildung – which he attributed to Russia's special sociopolitical conditions, geographic breadth, and cultural heterogeneity. Steiner also shows how Grigor'ev's cultural vision served as the catalyst for the creative explosion that produced Russia's most famous novels of the 1860s and 1870s. Positing the classic Russian novel as an inheritor of the Enlightenment's key values – including humanity, self-perfection, and cross-cultural communication – For Humanity's Sake offers a unique view of Russian intellectual history and literature.

Book Description
We feel that we all must heed Eisenhower's Warning for the sake of Our Humanity, Constitution, Republic, and Liberty. This text is a compilation of some of the most important links and passages we have seen, in an effort to show Our Readers the seriousness of and rationales behind our concerns. Our goals include, without political affiliation, to increase public awareness of these concerns and to reinforce our important values, including, that no one is permitted to be above the law, nor will anyone be beneath the law. Moreover, to emphasize that Our Constitution specifically states, in Amendment V, that "No person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law..." Also, our Declaration of Independence gives three examples of unalienable rights..."Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness". Furthermore, a government is created to protect these rights and to ensure that justice, including due process, proceeds ethically and with integrity -- blind to outside influence, and weighed with fairness, objectivity, and impartiality -- equal for all.
