Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Beacon Lights of History, Vol. IV" is part of John Lord's famous historical series, which he published as a historian and lecturer in the nineteenth century. With an eye-catching new cover and professionally typeset copy, this edition of "Beacon Lights of History Vol.- IV" is both current and legible. Some stories are fascinating and wonderful, while others catch you off guard and draw you in. Some stories are brutal and weird, while others creep up on you and draw you in slowly. Readers are drawn to continue reading to find out what happens next since the title character is so self-indulgent. The plot contains surprising twists and turns that will keep the reader interested. The fourth volume in the series examines the Reformation and Renaissance, a time of cultural renewal and religious turmoil. The story of John Lord takes viewers on a detailed tour of this critical period, showcasing key figures like Leonardo da Vinci, Martin Luther, and John Calvin, among others. Throughout the book, Lord delves into the Renaissance's intellectual, artistic, and religious revolutions, as well as the Reformation's theological breakthroughs. He paints extensive images of the people who played crucial parts in these processes, detailing their lives, perspectives, and societal achievements.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Beacon Lights of History, Vol. 11: American Founders Warriors and Statesmen, which was Volume IV of his original series of five volumes. The wide popular accept ance of the five volumes encouraged him to extend the series by including, and rewriting for the purpose, others of his great range of lectures. The volume called War riors and Statesmen (now otherwise distributed) included a number of lectures which in this new edition have been arranged in more natural grouping. Among them were the lectures on Hamilton and Webster. It has been deemed wise to bring these into closer relation with their contemporaries, and thus Hamilton is now placed in this volume, among the other American Founders, and Webster in the volume on American Leaders.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Beacon Lights of History, Vol. 4: Warriors and Statesmen After a series of struggles with the Catholics, the Lutherans succeeded, by the treaty of Augsburg in securing toleration; and this toleration lasted during the reigns of Ferdinand I. And Maximilian II. In deed, Germany enjoyed tranquillity until the reign of Matthias, in 1612. This usurping emperor, who had delivered Germany from the Turks, abolished in his dominions the Protestant religion, so far as edicts and persecution could deprive the Protestants of their religious liberties. Matthias died in 1619, and was succeeded by Ferdinand II., a bigoted prince, who had been educated by the Jesuits. This emperor was an inveterate enemy of the Protestants. He forbade their meetings, deprived them even of civil privileges, pulled down their churches and schools, erected scaffolds in every village, appointed only Catholic magistrates, and inflicted unsparing cruelties on all who seceded fron the Catholic church.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Beacon Lights of History, Vol. 4: Imperial Antiquity Neither Herodotus, Xenophon, nor Ctesias satisfy us as to the real life and character Of Cyrus. This re nowned name represents, however, the Persian power, the last of the great monarchies that ruled the Ori ental world until its conquest by the Greeks. Persia came suddenly into prominence in the middle of the seventh century before Christ. Prior to this time it was comparatively unknown and unimportant, and was one of the dependent provinces of Media, whose re ligion, language, and customs were not very dissimi lar to its own.

Download or read book A More Beautiful and Terrible History written by Jeanne Theoharis and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2018-01-30 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Praised by The New York Times; O, The Oprah Magazine; Bitch Magazine; Slate; Publishers Weekly; and more, this is “a bracing corrective to a national mythology” (New York Times) around the civil rights movement. The civil rights movement has become national legend, lauded by presidents from Reagan to Obama to Trump, as proof of the power of American democracy. This fable, featuring dreamy heroes and accidental heroines, has shuttered the movement firmly in the past, whitewashed the forces that stood in its way, and diminished its scope. And it is used perniciously in our own times to chastise present-day movements and obscure contemporary injustice. In A More Beautiful and Terrible History award-winning historian Jeanne Theoharis dissects this national myth-making, teasing apart the accepted stories to show them in a strikingly different light. We see Rosa Parks not simply as a bus lady but a lifelong criminal justice activist and radical; Martin Luther King, Jr. as not only challenging Southern sheriffs but Northern liberals, too; and Coretta Scott King not only as a “helpmate” but a lifelong economic justice and peace activist who pushed her husband’s activism in these directions. Moving from “the histories we get” to “the histories we need,” Theoharis challenges nine key aspects of the fable to reveal the diversity of people, especially women and young people, who led the movement; the work and disruption it took; the role of the media and “polite racism” in maintaining injustice; and the immense barriers and repression activists faced. Theoharis makes us reckon with the fact that far from being acceptable, passive or unified, the civil rights movement was unpopular, disruptive, and courageously persevering. Activists embraced an expansive vision of justice—which a majority of Americans opposed and which the federal government feared. By showing us the complex reality of the movement, the power of its organizing, and the beauty and scope of the vision, Theoharis proves that there was nothing natural or inevitable about the progress that occurred. A More Beautiful and Terrible History will change our historical frame, revealing the richness of our civil rights legacy, the uncomfortable mirror it holds to the nation, and the crucial work that remains to be done.
