Summary

"Maps Redrawn" explores the captivating history of maps, demonstrating how they've shaped our world, reflecting not just geography but also power dynamics and cultural perspectives.

 
The book argues that maps are subjective creations influenced by the biases and knowledge of their makers, challenging the notion of maps as neutral representations. It highlights how cartographic errors or deliberate distortions have had real-world consequences, influencing territorial claims and international relations.

 
The book begins by introducing fundamental cartographic principles and tracing the history of mapmaking from ancient times to the Renaissance. It then examines instances of "lost lands" that once appeared on maps but were later removed as scientific knowledge expanded.

 
Progressing further, the book delves into border disputes and political cartography, analyzing how maps have shaped national identities and fueled conflicts, offering a comprehensive understanding of the interplay between maps, history, and geopolitics.

Tuning the Student Mind - A...

Molly Beauregard

How can we rethink teaching practices to include and engage the whole student? What would student experience look like if we integrated silence and feeling with empirical analysis? Tuning the Student Mind is the story of one teacher's attempt to answer these questions by creating an innovative college course that marries the spiritual and the theoretical, integrating meditation and self-reflection with more conventional academic curriculum. The book follows Molly Beauregard and her students on their intellectual and spiritual journey over the course of a semester in her class, "Consciousness, Creativity, and Identity." Interweaving personal stories, student writing, and Beauregard's responses, along with recommendations for further reading and a research appendix, it makes the case for the transformative power of consciousness-centered education. Written in a warm, engaging voice that reflects Beauregard's teaching style, Tuning the Student Mind provides an accessible, step-by-step template for other educators, while inviting readers more broadly to reconnect with the joy of learning in and beyond the classroom.

The Beginning Comes After the...

Rebecca Solnit

Rebecca Solnit offers a thrilling account of the sheer breadth and scale of social, political, scientific, and cultural change over the past three quarters of a century. 
 
In this sequel to her enduring bestseller Hope in the Dark, Solnit surveys a world that has changed dramatically since the year 1960. Despite the forces seeking to turn back the clock on history, change is not a possibility; it is an inevitability. 
 
The changes amount to nothing less than dismantling an old civilization and building a new one, whose newness is often the return of the old ways and wisdoms. In this rising worldview, interconnection is a core idea and value. But because the transformation is obscured within a longer arc of history, its scale is seldom recognized. 
 
While the white nationalist and authoritarian backlash drives individualism and isolation, this new world embraces antiracism, feminism, a more expansive understanding of gender, environmental thinking, scientific breakthroughs, and Indigenous and non-Western ideas, pointing toward a more interconnected, relational world.
