Henry Ward Beecher

Gamblers and Gambling

In the stories and poetry that comprise 'Other Agitations, ' Mike Sharpe's ingathering of history, economics, literature, and philosophy richly informs his satire. Franz Kafka, Jane Austen and Ernest Hemingway, Bernard Shaw, Isaac Bashevis Singer and Emily Dickinson serve as 'agitators.' Sharpe rewrites familiar tales creating new originals in his unique style and weltanschauung. Truth, in human hands, becomes conditional

"Crimes and Punishments: Including a New Translation of Beccaria's 'Dei Delitti e delle Pene'" by James Anson Farrer is a treatise written by Cesare Beccaria which condemned torture and the death penalty and was a founding work in the field of penology. On Crimes and Punishments was the first critical analysis of capital punishment that demanded its abolition. Beccaria described the death penalty as the war of a nation against a citizen. Regarding the "Proportion between Crimes and Punishment", Beccaria stated that crimes of every kind should be less frequent, in proportion to the evil they produce to society, and that torture is cruel and unnecessary.

Challenging Injustice: A Legal and Moral Argument Against Slavery

The Unconstitutionality of Slavery

Routledge Studies in Leadership Research

History is full of examples of how the skilful use of language is a fundamental aspect of charismatic leadership. Traditionally, this phenomenon has been studied focusing on oratory skills. The book argues that the relationship between a leader and a follower has points of similarity to that which exists between a writer and a reader, and that in each case, former party is the agenda setter, but satisfactory outcomes require a mutual endeavor. Given that scholarly writing about management and organizations is inevitably a mix of the presentation of empirical truths and value judgements, the ability to engage the reader intellectually and emotionally is critical in the successful dissemination of disciplinary knowledge and belief claims. The book proposes a multi-faceted construct of textual charisma which is created through the use of metaphors, stories and personal accounts as well as the ancient construct of pistis and the contemporary notion of metadiscourse. The proposed framework provides guidance for management and organization studies' authors seeking to present themselves as convincing and engaging writers.Chapter 1 of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF at http://www.taylorfrancis.com under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.

In "Gamblers and Gambling," Henry Ward Beecher delves into the multifaceted world of wagering, offering an incisive examination of the psychology behind gambling and its social implications. Written in Beecher's characteristic eloquent prose, the book weaves together personal anecdotes, philosophical reflections, and shrewd observations. Set against the backdrop of 19th-century America'Äîa time when gambling was both a popular pastime and a moral quandary'ÄîBeecher navigates the complexities of addiction, temptation, and the allure of risk, challenging societal norms and inviting readers to consider gambling's broader consequences on individual lives and community structures. Henry Ward Beecher was a prominent preacher, social reformer, and abolitionist, well-known for his captivating sermons and profound empathy for human frailties. His deep understanding of human nature and moral dilemmas likely informed his desire to explore the topic of gambling, which he viewed not merely as a vice, but as a reflection of societal values and personal struggles. His own experiences within the religious community, as well as the changes occurring in American life during his time, shaped his perspectives on morality and vice. "Gamblers and Gambling" is a compelling read for anyone interested in understanding the complex interplay between morality and vice in American culture. Whether approached as a historical analysis, a moral critique, or a psychological study, Beecher's work invites readers to reflect on their own beliefs and attitudes towards risk and reward. This book is essential for scholars, historians, and general readers alike who wish to comprehend the perennial fascination with gambling.
