Synopsis

In "Henry the Second", Alice Stopford Green delves into the complex reign of one of England's most significant monarchs, presenting a meticulous exploration of historical narratives intertwined with a distinctive literary flair. Green employs a scholarly approach that elegantly balances thorough research with engaging prose, offering readers insights into Henry's political maneuvers, conflicts with the church, and the shaping of English identity during the tumultuous 12th century. The book resonates with contemporaneous discussions surrounding nationalism and governance, making it an essential text in both historical and literary studies. Alice Stopford Green, a noted historian and biographer, was a pioneer in advocating for the inclusion of woman's perspectives in history. Her extensive academic background and passion for historical inquiry are reflected in her portrayal of Henry II, shaped by her own experiences as a woman in a predominantly male-dominated field. Green's dedication to illuminating the past, coupled with her ability to weave captivating narratives, positions her as a vital voice in the historiography of medieval England. Readers seeking a profound understanding of medieval politics, as well as those curious about Green's innovative historiographical methods, will find "Henry the Second" not only informative but also an engaging literary work that challenges traditional narratives. This book is a compelling addition to the libraries of both history enthusiasts and literary scholars alike.

    Attention implies that there is no centre - 22 June 1975 
    • Consciousness, because it is in constant movement, has never found an energy 
    which is not contradictory, which is not produced by desire and thought. 
    • Can thought ever see its own movement and the futility of its own movement? • Attention implies that there is no centre. 
    • Is there a perception, a seeing outside the space which is part of consciousness? • Therearetwohumanbeings,onegetsconditionedandtheotherdoesn’t.Why? 
    How has it happened the other doesn’t get conditioned? 
    • How does this perception which is beyond attention, beyond awareness, 
    beyond concentration come about? 
    • Thought is rather superficial, it’s merely a very small part of the operation of the 
    brain.

    This modern version of Ralph Waldo Emerson's classic was created to reach a larger and more contemporary audience. The work has been edited to appeal to a wider range of experience and expression. The book is so full of wisdom but we simply don't speak the same way anymore. This book has been upgraded to better reflect a more current vernacular - All the pronouns have been changed from simply he/him to they/them. 
    This edition is edited to be more relevant to today’s terminology and vernacular. As little as possible was modified in order to convey the author’s original intent. 
    Mostly what was changed were the pronouns he, she, him and her but a few other modifications were made in order to better convey the ideas in this classic work. 
    This updated version is more approachable and palatable than the original and still just as inspiring. It’s an incredible piece of literature that deserves to be recognized and widely known. 
    This essay is truly more relevant to today than ever. Ralph Waldo Emerson was such a brilliant writer and thinker. 
    In "Self-Reliance," Emerson expounds on the importance of trusting your soul, as well as divine providence, to carve out a life. A firm believer in nonconformity, Emerson celebrates the individual and stresses the value of listening to the inner voice unique to each of us - even when it defies society's expectations.This current version is created for your reading pleasure.

    Exit Zero - Family and Class in...

    In 1980, Christine J. Walley’s world was turned upside down when the steel mill in Southeast Chicago where her father worked abruptly closed. In the ensuing years, ninety thousand other area residents would also lose their jobs in the mills—just one example of the vast scale of deindustrialization occurring across the United States. The disruption of this event propelled Walley into a career as a cultural anthropologist, and now, in Exit Zero, she brings her anthropological perspective home, examining the fate of her family and that of blue-collar America at large. Interweaving personal narratives and family photos with a nuanced assessment of the social impacts of deindustrialization, Exit Zero is one part memoir and one part ethnography— providing a much-needed female and familial perspective on cultures of labor and their decline. Through vivid accounts of her family’s struggles and her own upward mobility, Walley reveals the social landscapes of America’s industrial fallout, navigating complex tensions among class, labor, economy, and environment. Unsatisfied with the notion that her family’s turmoil was inevitable in the ever-forward progress of the United States, she provides a fresh and important counternarrative that gives a new voice to the many Americans whose distress resulting from deindustrialization has too often been ignored.
