Описание: Growing up without a father is difficult by any standard. But when your father is in the shadows, trying to support you and smooth the way without you knowing who he is, a true resentment for his absence develops. Genevieves love for business developed while in elementary school and was fostered by her father from behind the scenes. Throughout junior high, high school, and college, she learns her business sense and has a chance to practice it with an experimental opportunity from the Greeley Chamber of Commerce. Finding and marrying her soulmate complicated her life somewhat but did not deter her from completing the experiment she entered into. Having a son and aborting another behind her husbands back only served to deepen her disbelief in God. She firmly viewed God as a superstitious myth totally unneeded in her life, even though her beloved, and behind-the-scenes father, were active Christians. It wasnt until she lost her husband and ended up in the hospital herself that she finally opened her eyes to find both fathers...the earthly as well as the Heavenly.

Описание: We measure rainfall and radiation, the depths of space and the emptiness of atoms, calories and steps, happiness and fear. If we could not measure then we could not observe the world around us we could not experiment, learn, and co-operate. But why did this urge to measure flourish? And when did measurement become ubiquitous?It is an incredible story that spans hunter-gatherer societies to ancient Egyptians, the French Revolution to the relentless quantification of the twenty-first century self. It is a tale that tracks humanitys search for dependable truths in a chaotic universe. Full of mavericks and visionaries, adventure and

Anthony Benezet (1713-84), universally recognized by the leaders of the eighteenth-century antislavery movement as its founder, was born to a Huguenot family in Saint-Quentin, France. As a boy, Benezet moved to Holland, England, and, in 1731, Philadelphia, where he rose to prominence in the Quaker antislavery community. In transforming Quaker antislavery sentiment into a broad-based transatlantic movement, Benezet translated ideas from diverse sources—Enlightenment philosophy, African travel narratives, Quakerism, practical life, and the Bible—into concrete action. He founded the African Free School in Philadelphia, and such future abolitionist leaders as Absalom Jones and James Forten studied at Benezet's school and spread his ideas to broad social groups. At the same time, Benezet's correspondents, including Benjamin Franklin, Benjamin Rush, Abbé Raynal, Granville Sharp, and John Wesley, gave his ideas an audience in the highest intellectual and political circles. In this wide-ranging intellectual biography, Maurice Jackson demonstrates how Benezet mediated Enlightenment political and social thought, narratives of African life written by slave traders themselves, and the ideas and experiences of ordinary people to create a new antislavery critique. Benezet's use of travel narratives challenged proslavery arguments about an undifferentiated, "primitive" African society. Benezet's empirical evidence, laid on the intellectual scaffolding provided by the writings of Hutcheson, Wallace, and Montesquieu, had a profound influence, from the high-culture writings of the Marquis de Condorcet to the opinions of ordinary citizens. When the great antislavery spokesmen Jacques-Pierre Brissot in France and William Wilberforce in England rose to demand abolition of the slave trade, they read into the record of the French National Assembly and the British Parliament extensive unattributed quotations from Benezet's writings, a fitting tribute to the influence of his work.
