The Loyal Son by Daniel Mark Epstein7/6/2023 In 1776, the Continental Congress imprisoned William for treason. By then, William was Royal Governor of New Jersey, while Ben was one of the foremost champions of American independence. The outbreak of the American Revolution caused a devastating split between father and son. He was invited to walk in the procession of the coronation of George III Ben was not. On a diplomatic mission to London, it was William who charmed London society. After the famous kite-in-a-thunderstorm experiment, it was William who proved that the electrical charge in a lightning bolt travels from the ground up, not from the clouds down. He adopted the boy, raised him, and educated him to be his aide. When he was twenty-four, Franklin fathered a child with a woman who was not his wife. In The Loyal Son, award-winning historian Daniel Mark Epstein throws the spotlight on one of the darker episodes in Franklin’s biography: his complex and confounding relationship with his illegitimate son William. But this image obscures the scandals that dogged him throughout his life. His wit, his charm, his inventiveness-even his grandfatherly appearance-are legendary. The dramatic story of a founding father, his illegitimate son, and the tragedy of their conflict during the American Revolution-from the acclaimed author of The Lincolnsīen Franklin is the most lovable of America’s founding fathers.

If only someone could have warned me that, upon my return to the continent of my birth thirteen years later, I would be kidnapped, subjected to tortures beyond comprehension and forced to fight.and kill. But all that really matters, according to my parents, is that I, Solomon Ull Vincent, the first child born on Antarctica-the first and only Antarctican-was born on September 2nd, 1974. Again, some would have me believe the fracture took place as I entered the world. Other than that, the only verifiable fact about the day I was born is that an iceberg the size of Los Angeles broke free from the ice shelf a few miles off the coast. Except for my father all he heard was Mother's sobs. The howl tore across glaciers, over mountains and deep into the ice.

Due to a series of unfortunate events, he’s the new Duke of Reigate and there’s no money left in the estate. When he returns home for the first time in 14 years, he learns to never say never. Having grown up as fourth in line to the dukedom, Quincy never thought he’d inherit. At 14, with his father gone, he ran off to prevent his mother from consigning him to the Royal Navy. But his mother always seemed to despise him, and he never understood why he felt so at odds with almost everyone in his family. As a boy, he revered and loved his father and was loved and adored in turn. Plus, for different reasons, they’re both desperate to avoid the matchmaking machinations of nosy relatives. And both harbor dark secrets and not quite fully healed childhood wounds that they think make them less than ideal partners. Both are aristocratic underdogs: despite being the children of dukes, they grew up on the periphery of the noble circles to which they belong. In Christina Britton’s solidly crafted Regency romance, Someday My Duke Will Come, a fake engagement and close quarters spur friends to become the lovers they were meant to be.

Negatives by Xu Yong7/5/2023 The conclusion summarizes three characteristics that are evident in the process of rural integration and the establishment of the modern state in China. The second volume examines contemporary state integration via the economic activities of traditional rural societies, alongside fiscal, cultural, social, and technological integration. The first volume explores state penetration of the countryside and the transformation of the rural population from the point of view of politics, labour and resources, administration, and institutional integration. Drawing on contemporary examples of state integration while observing the particular background of the Chinese context, this set systematically examines the entire process of the rural reconstruction of China over the course of the 100 years since the period of the late Qing Dynasty, while analysing the special characteristics of each period as well as current societal trends in the Chinese countryside. It attempts to transcend general policy claims by analysing China’s rural governance within the state’s integration of rural society over the course of the twentieth century. This two-volume set examines the process of integration of rural society and the establishment of the modern state in China.
