The Rights of Englishmen, A Primary Source Reader for Students of Early Modern British History & Early American History
Full text link2025
This book is a collection of primary sources from the United Kingdom and English-Speaking North America from the Magna Carta in 1215 through the middle of the 19th Century, with commentary and an introduction from Dr. Robin Ishler. The purpose of the book is not only to act as a resource for students of Early Modern British history and early American history, but also to demonstrate the deep political and philosophical connections between the United States and the larger English legal and societal context from which it emerged. Dr. Ishler argues that it is an unfortunate reality that many history and political science courses in the United States often downplay these fundamental linkages. The book aims to show the history of the so called ‘rights of Englishmen’ as they were codified, interpreted, examined, and implemented in different ways in the United Kingdom and throughout the British Empire in North America. It also explores a few representative works of English and American political philosophy. The book seeks to demonstrate how the United Kingdom and the United States are both products of the same great conversation on rights, laws, and representative government. While the colonial society in which these ideas emerged was deeply flawed, the ideas themselves evolved to become the cornerstone of contemporary democracy in their respective countries.https://touroscholar.touro.edu/opentextbooks/1007/thumbnail.jp

Pulse: Full Issue Download
No full textDear Readers,
I am the soothing beat you hear when your head hits the pillow at night. I am louder in the silence when you want to be alone with your thoughts. I am not just a measurement made up of red pixels on a screen. I keep you alive. Steady. Persistent. Who am I?
Pulse. It is one of the first things we check for life. It’s the subtle thrill beneath the surface that reminds us we are here, and we are moving forward. In medicine, the pulse is not just a vital sign; it’s a symbol of resilience and connection.
In a world where our moves are dictated by the sounds of pagers, the beep of a patient’s call bell, and quarterly quotas to fulfill, what truly keeps us moving other than the need to survive?
Within these pages, our writers and artists explore a multitude of emotions that color their lives. Moments that they cherish, for better or for worse. This is the art of medicine: subtle and human.
Listen closely to the beat within each line and the rhythm of every piece to help you find your pulse. Your motivation to thrive in a fast-paced world. Your reason to keep going. We hope this volume helps you slow down and listen to your own heartbeat.
With Warmth, Quill & Scope, 17th E-boar
Retinal Vision Restoration
No full textRetinal degeneration is a leading cause of vision loss worldwide due to the retina’s inability to regenerate specialized cells after injury or stress. This study examines the potential for retinal regeneration by assessing current research on Müller glial cell differentiation and stem cell-based treatments. An analysis of experimental studies and therapeutic advancements highlights the mechanisms observed in regenerative models such as zebrafish and chicks, in contrast to the reactive gliosis and glial scarring observed in humans. Findings suggest that therapies such as optogenetics and stem cell transplantation have partially restored vision; however, their limitations stem from an inability to fully reestablish the complex cellular architecture and synaptic connections which are required for functional vision. Further research is necessary to overcome these barriers and advance the potential for vision restoration through retinal regeneration
