Synopsis

In "Lives of the Most Remarkable Criminals," Arthur Lawrence Hayward offers a meticulously researched exploration of notorious figures across history, weaving together biographical sketches that examine their lives, motivations, and the broader social context of their actions. Hayward's literary style is both vivid and engaging, combining narrative flair with a scholarly rigor that brings these complex characters to life. Set against the backdrop of evolving criminology and societal responses to crime, this work reflects early 20th-century anxieties around morality, justice, and the role of the individual in an increasingly urbanized world. Arthur Lawrence Hayward, drawing on his background in history and criminology, demonstrates a profound interest in the darker aspects of human nature. His detailed analysis not only catalogues criminal deeds but also seeks to understand the psychological, economic, and cultural factors that drive individuals toward crime. This perspective enhances the historical narrative, positioning Hayward as an early commentator on the sociological implications of criminal behavior. This book is highly recommended for those interested in the intersection of history, psychology, and criminal justice. Hayward's compelling accounts provide insight into figures often relegated to the margins of historical discourse, making "Lives of the Most Remarkable Criminals" an essential read for both academics and general readers seeking to understand the complexities of human behavior.

    Today's Birmingham—led by Mayor Randall Woodfin—is a phoenix rising from the ashes of systemic racism and white flight. This first Southern city to pluck the feathers off Jim Crow, where peaceful protesters endured attacks by police dogs, where high-pressure water hoses tore at the flesh of men and women marching for their rights, and where children locked arms and sang "We Shall Overcome," is a living, breathing redemption story. 
     
     
     
    In Son of Birmingham, Woodfin draws upon the street wisdom of his generation's Southern rap music; the power of family, friends, and faith; and his education at the historically Black Morehouse College to preach the progress every corner of our nation clamors for right now. He walks listeners through the streets of his Birmingham, bringing to light the daily joys and struggles of everyday people and revealing what spurred him to turn his education and Capitol Hill experience to the city of his youth. 
     
     
     
    A moving memoir of a young leader's perseverance in a city still battling racism and gun violence, which Woodfin experienced first-hand, Son of Birmingham is also a call-to-action across America—an appeal to Woodfin's unique brand of servant leadership and responsive government for equitable, inclusive, and prosperous cities where everyone has the opportunity to reach their full potential.

    This rediscovered classic memoir tells the incredible tale of a woman defying society's expectations to find freedom and peace in the adventure of a lifetime. 
     
     
     
    In 1934, the painter Christiane Ritter leaves her comfortable life in Austria and travels to the remote Arctic island of Spitsbergen, to spend a year there with her husband. She thinks it will be a relaxing trip, a chance to "read thick books in the remote quiet and, not least, sleep to my heart's content," but when Christiane arrives she is shocked to realize that they are to live in a tiny ramshackle hut on the shores of a lonely fjord, hundreds of miles from the nearest settlement, battling the elements every day, just to survive. 
     
     
     
    At first, Christiane is horrified by the freezing cold, the bleak landscape the lack of equipment and supplies . . . But as time passes, after encounters with bears and seals, long treks over the ice and months on end of perpetual night, she finds herself falling in love with the Arctic's harsh, otherworldly beauty, gaining a great sense of inner peace and a new appreciation for the sanctity of life.
