Book Description
From the streets of Cairo in the midst of the Arab Spring, to rebellions on distant planets, and from a daring rescue on a seastead-studded ocean to the gallows and grimy streets of 17th century London, here are ten short stories of liberty and revolution. Imagine...a world where independent seasteads and private airship companies keep the peace on the high seas. Imagine...a dying planet ruled by a rigid caste system, but with one last chance to be free. Imagine...a journalist investigating the fate of a government program to match individuals with their perfect mate. These stories are the winners of the Libertarian Fiction Authors Association's first short story contest, following the prompt, "Write a short story that illustrates the positive role of freedom in human life." With 169 total submissions these ten (three winners and seven runners-up), stood out as the top entries from a very broad, and talented field. These original works are as exhilarating as they are thoughtful and imaginative.

Book Description
The capital city of a nation founded on the premise of liberty, nineteenth-century Washington, D.C., was both an entrepot of urban slavery and the target of abolitionist ferment. The growing slave trade and the enactment of Black codes placed the city's Black women within the rigid confines of a social hierarchy ordered by race and gender. At the Threshold of Liberty reveals how these women--enslaved, fugitive, and free--imagined new identities and lives beyond the oppressive restrictions intended to prevent them from ever experiencing liberty, self-respect, and power. Consulting newspapers, government documents, letters, abolitionist records, legislation, and memoirs, Tamika Y. Nunley traces how Black women navigated social and legal proscriptions to develop their own ideas about liberty as they escaped from slavery, initiated freedom suits, created entrepreneurial economies, pursued education, and participated in political work. In telling these stories, Nunley places Black women at the vanguard of the history of Washington, D.C., and the momentous transformations of nineteenth-century America.

Book Description

This book examines thinkers who have collaborated with leaders, from ancient Syracuse to the modern White House, in a series of brisk portraits that explore the meeting of theory and reality.
Author: Lionel Trilling Publisher: New York Review of Books ISBN: 1590175514 Category : Literary Criticism Languages : en Pages : 339
Book Description
The Liberal Imagination is one of the most admired and influential works of criticism of the last century, a work that is not only a masterpiece of literary criticism but an important statement about politics and society. Published in 1950, one of the chillier moments of the Cold War, Trilling’s essays examine the promise —and limits—of liberalism, challenging the complacency of a naïve liberal belief in rationality, progress, and the panaceas of economics and other social sciences, and asserting in their stead the irreducible complexity of human motivation and the tragic inevitability of tragedy. Only the imagination, Trilling argues, can give us access and insight into these realms and only the imagination can ground a reflective and considered, rather than programmatic and dogmatic, liberalism. Writing with acute intelligence about classics like Huckleberry Finn and the novels of Henry James and F. Scott Fitzgerald, but also on such varied matters as the Kinsey Report and money in the American imagination, Trilling presents a model of the critic as both part of and apart from his society, a defender of the reflective life that, in our ever more rationalized world, seems ever more necessary—and ever more remote.

Book Description
.a personal journey of enormous merit.one of the world's great mystics blended with sound intelligence and clear self discovery. Excellent balance between inner and outer experiences, grounding the reader in the mundane as well as the spiritual heights. I almost never offer superlatives; my standards are too high. This work is real, and REALLY good. Louise Mallory-Elliott, PhD., former clinical psychologist; now Melchizedek minister and teacher of spiritual consciousness "I Am Liberty" is a story of one woman's quest to be "in the world but not of it." With a Mighty Assistant and a storehouse of revelatory glimpses of True Reality, Libby begins to imagine how her life would be lived as an ascended being. When the imagining starts to become her daily reality, the true work of Spirit begins and she is inexorably drawn into the evolution of mind promised by God. Often breathtaking, frequently profound, "I Am Liberty" is a courageous and captivating story of realizing and returning to God.
