Mill's "Utilitarianism"

John Stuart Mill's Utilitarianism continues to serve as a rich source of moral and theoretical insight. This collection of articles by top scholars offers fresh interpretations of Mill's ideas about happiness, moral obligation, justice, and rights. Applying contemporary philosophical insights, they challenge the conventional readings of Mill, and, in the process, contribute to a deeper understanding of utilitarian theory as well as the complexity of moral life.

An inspiring story of one man's diagnosis with Multiple Sclerosis at age 47 and his struggle to rise from the depths of despair to the stage of a bodybuilding contest.
When David Lyons lay in his hospital bed numb from the chest down, barely able to move and just diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, little did he know the journey God was about to take him on. He had two choices: give into the disease and most likely end up in a wheelchair, or fight it with all his might like David did against Goliath in the Bible. David Lyons, like his namesake, chose the battle.
In this gripping book, David takes you on his journey of faith, trust, and perseverance. You will read how his walk with Christ took him on an unconventional path of healing. You will see how he battles this debilitating, unpredictable, and often misunderstood disease in what he calls ''The MS Bodybuilding Challenge.''
David's story encourages people with diseases, disabilities, or any of life's hardships to never give up or give in to defeat. Take this journey with David as he pushed forth each day from hardly being able to walk with severe pain and numbness to standing on stage in a bodybuilding contest at age 50. See the impact he continues to make in his mission to educate, inspire, and help others persevere. What's next on David's journey in battling MS?

In the unusually cold spring of 1968, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. spent several weeks shuttling between the Sanitation Workers' Strike in Memphis and his home in Atlanta. Memphis' black sanitation workers had walked out in February demanding union recognition and the same benefits as whites. The city's only offer to their demands thus far had consisted of paternalism, condescension, and silence at the bargaining table. There would be no municipal workers' union in Memphis while Henry Loeb, who was avidly anti-union, was mayor. Despite months of peaceful protest and, finally, a violent confrontation that left one dead, scores injured, and hundreds jailed, both camps remained convinced that theirs was the truly just cause. Dr. King entered the fray with the intention of proving that his passive, non-violent methods were not only morally proper, but also effective as well. With riots across the country the previous three summers, Dr. King knew that his methods were under close scrutiny. In Memphis, where the strikers and the city were at an impasse, he would face the ultimate test during what would become his final, tragic journey. D'Army Bailey draws on his own experiences in the Civil Rights Movement to reflect upon the actions that led to Dr. King's involvement in the Memphis strike. Bailey details the final weeks, from King's disillusionment with persistent strike-bred violence to his steadfast search for an affirmation that the non-violent methods he had preached and practiced throughout his life were, in fact, effective. Using archival photographs from the period, Bailey tells the story of his personal journey from disillusionment with King¿s tactics to his position of leadership as the person who spearheaded the reclamation of the Lorraine Motel (where Dr. King was assassinated) and the construction of the National Civil Rights Museum. In addition, Bailey challenges the citizens of Memphis ¿ and the world ¿ to embark upon their own ¿journey of truth¿ that will, Bailey writes, lead them to the realization that Dr. King¿s non-violence is necessary for all who abhor social injustice of any kind, anywhere.

In this explosive debut thriller, a judge from the Louisiana bayou goes up against a company on the verge of causing an ecological disaster. Cajun-born Jock Boucher has overcome modest beginnings to assume the prestigious position of U.S. District Judge for the Eastern District of Louisiana. One of his first cases on the bench involves a scientist who has been hiding in mortal fear for more than twenty years. The fugitive claims that another judge accepted bribes and helped a relentless global energy company steal his intellectual property: a way to recover energy from below the subsea bed that could end America's dependence on foreign oil. Boucher takes on the company and its powerful founder, risking not only his judicial career but his life. He follows a trail of cryptic clues to the bottom of the ocean, and soon finds himself the target of killers--and too far from the law to ever return. Packed with suspense, science, politics, and murder, this fast-paced, riveting thriller will have readers on the edge of their seats. Ice Fire is the first in a series offered by this authentic new talent.
