Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The Heroic Slave is the only work of fiction written by Frederick Douglass. The novella is based on a true incident where a slave, Madison Washington, leads a rebellion on board a slave ship. Douglass wrote The Heroic Slave in response to a request from the Rochester Ladies' Anti Slavery Society for a short story to go in their collection, Autographs for Freedom. Frederick Douglass was born in slavery as Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey near Easton in Talbot County, Maryland. As a young boy he was sent to Baltimore, to be a house servant, where he learned to read and write, with the assistance of his master's wife. In 1838 he escaped from slavery and went to New York City, where he married Anna Murray, a free colored woman whom he had met in Baltimore. Soon thereafter he changed his name to Frederick Douglass. In 1841 he addressed a convention of the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society in Nantucket and so greatly impressed the group that they immediately employed him as an agent. He was such an impressive orator that numerous persons doubted if he had ever been a slave. His autobiographical works are The Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave, Bondage and My Freedom and Life and Times of Frederick Douglass, published in 1855 and 1881 respectively. He died in 1895.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. Discover the life and legacy of Rachel Carson, a pioneer whose work highlighting the dangers of pesticide played a significant role in the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency. "A balanced, thoroughly researched introduction to an original scientist whose work remains of urgent importance today."--Booklist, starred review Quiet and shy, Rachel Carson seemed to be an unlikely candidate to start a revolution, but almost single-handedly she brought about an environmental upheaval. Her internationally bestselling book, Silent Spring, was responsible for sounding the wake-up call about the poisoning of the environment. Until her book, many people thought it was possible to "control" problems in nature without paying attention to side effects. Carson battled against old-fashioned sexism and big-business interests to show people the devastating consequences when the processes of nature are arrogantly disregarded. Her passionate commitment to the environment led to the eventual founding of the Environmental Protection Agency, which to this day is charged with safekeeping of the environment. This is one of the titles in Up Close, a riveting, all-access biography series that celebrates the leaders, artists, and legends of twentieth-century America--and the impact they had on the world.…
