  The Last Man, Volume I as you haven't seen it before -- in a remarkable illustrated edition. 
  In a world unraveling at the seams, where empires crumble and nature turns its back on mankind, The Last Man tells the haunting tale of Lionel Verney—a wild outcast turned reluctant survivor—as he watches civilization dissolve before his eyes. 
  Born into poverty and hardened by loss, Lionel’s fate takes an unexpected turn when he befriends Adrian, the noble and kind-hearted son of England’s deposed king. Through Adrian’s guidance, Lionel rises above his lawless past and steps into the turbulent world of politics, passion, and revolution. But the forces of love and ambition are no match for the true enemy lurking in the shadows. 
  As the years pass, whispers of an unseen terror begin to spread—a mysterious plague creeping across continents, leaving death in its wake. Friends, lovers, and nations fall, until Lionel finds himself standing alone in the vast silence of a forsaken world. 
  Mary Shelley, the visionary mind behind Frankenstein, weaves a prophetic and deeply emotional tale of human resilience, devastating loss, and the fragile line between hope and despair. The Last Man is more than a dystopian epic—it is a warning, a lament, and a story that lingers in the soul long after the final page is turned. 
  Will Lionel endure the weight of survival, or will the last echoes of mankind fade into the abyss?

  “Liberty demands self-government, but not the right to interfere with others.”“The object of education ought not to be to make all men think alike, but to make each think in the way which is the fullest expression of his own.”“You may kill an artist or a thinker, but you cannot acquire his art or his thought. You may put a man do death because he loves his fellow men, but you will not by so doing acquire the love which made his happiness.” ? Bertrand Russell, Political Ideals'Political Ideals' was written during the upheaval of World War One. It is, in many ways, a statement, of Russell's beliefs, a declaration of the ideas that influenced his thinking on the major events of the 20th century. In this sense, it is essential reading for every student of this great philosopher.

  Teddy Roosevelt The Rough Riders...

  The Rough Riders was a nickname given to the 1st United States Volunteer Cavalry, one of three such regiments raised in 1898 for the Spanish–American War and the only one to see combat. The United States Army was small, understaffed, and disorganized in comparison to its status during the American Civil War roughly thirty years prior. Following the sinking of USS Maine, President William McKinley needed to muster a strong ground force swiftly, which he did by calling for 125,000 volunteers to assist in the war. The U.S. had gone to war in opposition to Spanish colonial policies in Cuba, which was then torn by a rebellion.[1] The regiment was also nicknamed "Wood's Weary Walkers" for its first commander, Colonel Leonard Wood. This reflected their dissatisfaction that despite being cavalry, they ended up fighting in Cuba as infantry since their horses were not sent there with them. 
   
  Wood's second in command was former Assistant Secretary of the Navy Theodore Roosevelt, a strong advocate for the Cuban War of Independence. When Wood was promoted to become commander of the 2nd Cavalry Brigade, the regiment became known as "Roosevelt's Rough Riders." That term was borrowed from Buffalo Bill, who called his traveling Western show "Buffalo Bill's Wild West and Congress of Rough Riders of the World." 
   
  The original plan called for the regiment to be composed of frontiersmen from the Indian Territory, the New Mexico Territory, the Arizona Territory, and the Oklahoma Territory. However, after Roosevelt joined the ranks, it attracted an odd mixture of Ivy League athletes, glee club singers, Texas Rangers, and Native Americans. All accepted into the regiment had to be skilled horsemen and eager to see combat. The Rough Riders would receive more publicity than any other Army unit in that war, and they are best remembered for their conduct during the Battle of San Juan Hill.
