Summary:

The Slipper Point Mystery (1919) is a youth adventure novel by Augusta Huiell Seaman. 'Down on the sand was a signboard which said: 'CHILDREN MUST NOT PLAY IN THE BOATS.' Nevertheless, she sat on the prow of one, this girl of fourteen, digging her bare toes aimlessly in the sand, and by her side on the prow-seat sat a tiny child of about three, industriously sucking the thumb of her right hand, while she pulled at a lock of her thick straight hair with her left. So she sat, saying nothing, but staring contentedly out over the water. The older girl wore a blue skirt and a soiled white middy-blouse. She had dark brown eyes and thick auburn hair, hanging down in a ropelike braid. Her face was somewhat freckled, and apart from her eyes and hair she was not particularly pretty.' BUT, she had a secret discovery on Slipper Point, and she shares it with a new friend

Summary:

The Advance of Science in the Last Half-Century (1887) is a review by Thomas Henry Huxley. Excerpt from the book: 'I am conscious that in undertaking to give even the briefest sketch of the progress of physical science, in all its branches, during the last half-century, I may be thought to have exhibited more courage than discretion, and perhaps more presumption than either. So far as physical science is concerned, the days of Admirable Crichtons have long been over, and the most indefatigable of hard workers may think he has done well if he has mastered one of its minor subdivisions. Nevertheless, it is possible for anyone, who has familiarized himself with the operations of science in one department, to comprehend the significance, and even to form a general estimate of the value, of the achievements of specialists in other departments.'

I shall follow the lines of my temperament and tastes rather than those of completeness and impartiality: it is likely that I shall be voluble about Byron and reticent about Macaulay.' - Excerpt from the book

Title: Sadhana, the Realisation of Life

Author: Rabindranath Tagore

Narrator: John Stanbridge

Format: Unabridged

Length: 03:26:00

Language: English

Release date: 07-24-17

Publisher: Bookwire USD

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Classics

Summary:

Sadhana, The Realisation of Life (1913) is a book of meditation by Rabindranath Tagore. Excerpt from the book: 'Perhaps it is well for me to explain that the subject-matter of the papers published in this book has not been philosophically treated, nor has it been approached from the scholar's point of view. The writer has been brought up in a family where texts of the Upanishads are used in daily worship; and he has had before him the example of his father, who lived his long life in the closest communion with God, while not neglecting his duties to the world, or allowing his keen interest in all human affairs to suffer any abatement. So in these papers, it may be hoped, western readers will have an opportunity of coming into touch with the ancient spirit of India as revealed in our sacred texts and manifested in the life of to-day.'

Title: Crime: Its Cause and Treatment

Narrator: John Stanbridge

Format: Unabridged

Length: 06:47:26

Language: English

Release date: 07-24-17

Publisher: Bookwire USD

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Classics

Summary:

Crime: Its Cause and Treatment (1922) contains Clarence Darrow's thoughts on the subject. 'This book comes from the reflections and experience of more than forty years spent in court. Aside from the practice of my profession, the topics I have treated are such as have always held my interest and inspired a taste for books that discuss the human machine with its manifestations and the causes of its varied activity. I have endeavored to present the latest scientific thought and investigation bearing upon the question of human conduct. I do not pretend to be an original investigator, nor an authority on biology, psychology or philosophy. I have simply been a student giving the subject such attention as I could during a fairly busy life. No doubt some of the scientific conclusions stated are still debatable and may finally be rejected. The scientific mind holds opinions tentatively and is always ready to reexamine, modify or discard as new evidence comes to light.' - Excerpt
