The author wrote this a few years succeeding the Klondike Gold Rush and explored its horrors. The Yukon of the early 20th century wasn't as it is today. It was barren, and hard on the body and mind.

Dogs like Buck were cheap, and animal cruelty was common, leading many to criticize London of glorifying and condoning animal abuse.

The atrocities committed against Native tribes in the name of "Manifest Destiny" were thought of as just and honorable in the wake of the Great Indian Wars that wiped out the cultures across the United States. This book is often criticized due to its dark theme, and although it's written from a dogs point of view, really depicts and analyzes the then tense political climate.

the content of dr. king’s speech, his inspiring presence, and the moment in history all came together to make the iconic “i have a dream” speech the defining moment of the american civil rights movement. but there are several other reasons why this speech, delivered over 50 years ago, remains an example of one of the best speeches in american history.

since part of my job is to people become better presenters, i’ve noticed several techniques that we can all learn from and be inspired by in this magnificent speech.

it’s anchored in a powerful related location
