Sadhu Sundar Signh (1889-1929) was born into a Sikh family. After his mother died he planned to kill himself if God did not reveal himself. To his surprise, Jesus appeared to him and Sadhu was immediately converted. He was rejected and cast out of his family, and began walking to villages telling them about Jesus. He had many visions, making him one of history's greatest mystics. This book brings together many of Sadhu's teachings and information about Sadhu, to give the reader a good picture of Sadhu's teachings, and the man himself. This book was first published in 1921. Sadhu traveled to Tibet for the final time in 1929, never to be seen again. Sadhu's teachings were collected from scattered sayings on the same topics, to make a complete theology in picture form, showing his way of life and his mystic experience: an organic whole. But the authors of this book also interviewed Sadhu in person to receive some of this information.And if this book has any merit beyond fidelity to fact, it largely consists in the attempt to seize and bring out this inner unity and coherence.

B. H. Streeter (1874-1937) was an Oxford theologian and biblical scholar. From 1915 to 1934 he was a canon of Hereford Cathedral, which is famous for its medieval chained library. Books were rare and precious items in the middle ages, and were frequently chained to the bookshelf and read on the lectern below to prevent unauthorised removal. Streeter's researches during the Hereford library's restoration led to the publication in 1931 of this illustrated study of early English libraries. It examines in detail the arrangement of libraries from medieval times to the eighteenth century, focusing on cathedral, college and parish libraries in England. Examining their floor plans, the form of their desks, shelves and seating arrangement, Streeter identifies distinct variations in design. Libraries are working buildings, and alter over time with the needs of their users, but Streeter's wide-ranging expertise allows him to reconstruct their earlier configurations.

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)
