<p>As outspoken in his day as Richard Dawkins or Christopher Hitchens are today, American freethinker and author ROBERT GREEN INGERSOLL (1833-1899) was a notorious radical whose uncompromising views on religion and slavery (they were bad, in his opinion), women's suffrage (a good idea, he believed), and other contentious matters of his era made him a wildly popular orator and critic of 19th-century American culture and public life. As a speaker dedicated to expanding intellectual horizons and celebrating the value of skepticism, Ingersoll spoke frequently on such topics as atheism, freedom from the pressures of conformity, and the lives of philosophers who espoused such concepts. This collection of his most famous speeches includes the lectures: [ "The Gods" (1872) [ "Humboldt" (1869) [ "Thomas Paine" (1870) [ "Individuality" (1873) [ "Heretics and Heresies" (1874)</p>

Set in 19th century Edinburgh, Scotland, Greyfriar’s Bobby is a classic dog story that teaches the values of friendship, loyalty, compassion and an innate sense of duty. A small terrier named Bobby was the devoted working companion to an elderly shepherd, but when Old Jock dies and is buried in the Greyfriar’s Cemetery the lonely dog takes up his vigil at the grave. This proves no easy accomplishment since dogs are not allowed in this gated burial ground. Befriended by a kind innkeeper and eventually by the local tenement children, Bobby is sustained physically during his 15-year faithful graveside watch. His canine tenderness and unflagging devotion gained him the reputation as a beacon of loyalty as Old Jock's only mourner. The dog's dedication at the site of his master's grave touched the heartstrings of amazed humankind. Perhaps considered sentimental by modern standards of animal/human literary fare, this book remains a classic in canine lore--ultimately inspiring the citizens of Edinburgh to erect a statue honoring Bobby's lifelong vigil. This short book also offers descriptions of Scotland's scenic beauty, along with gentle insights into the Victorian lifestyle. For dog lovers and kids of all ages!
