Sinossi

In "Tablets," Amos Bronson Alcott presents a collection of philosophical essays and meditative reflections that delve into the nature of human consciousness, education, and morality. Drawing on his deep-rooted belief in transcendentalist principles, Alcott employs a lyrical and introspective literary style that mirrors the Romantic era's quest for individual enlightenment and self-discovery. Each tablet serves as a guiding beacon, encouraging readers to engage deeply with their own thoughts and experiences while navigating the complexities of society and personal growth. The work's context situates itself within 19th-century America, a period ripe for intellectual upheaval and spiritual exploration. Alcott, an influential educational reformer and a prominent figure in the transcendentalist movement, drew upon his own life experiences as a teacher, philosopher, and advocate for social justice. His commitment to progressive education, as exemplified in his experimental Temple School, fueled his desire to cultivate a generation of learners who could think critically and live ethically. This intrinsic connection between his pedagogical endeavors and his philosophical writings in "Tablets" illustrates Alcott's longing to elevate humanity through education and moral integrity. "Tablets" is a compelling read for those seeking to explore the intersections of philosophy, education, and human experience. Alcott's insights provide timeless wisdom for readers yearning to question societal norms and pursue a higher understanding of themselves and the world around them. This book is not only essential for enthusiasts of transcendentalist thought but also serves as a profound invitation to reflect on one's moral journey.

Portraits as Animal - Poems

Victoriano Cárdenas

Portraits as Animal is a gallery of self-becoming in a "sunbaked house as tiny as a heart." With a toothy lyricism at turns sly and forthright, Cárdenas's hunger to belong carries us from a stove "bleeding a hundred kinds of caldo" to his "determined mitochondrial ancestors''-a journey framed by generational struggles with addiction, a queerphobic church, and the always-transforming land. 
In conversation with Taos's rich artistic tradition and the brutal, binding legacy of colonization, Cárdenas writes through his transition, acknowledging that "to become a man means a lifetime of needles like the man who raised me." Here is pain and violence, but here, too, is the assurance that we are "built for this metamorphosis" and can follow our past incarnations "over scorched earth neon with new grass" to a future of our own making.

Voyagers - Biographies about...

Kelly Mass

This book consists of 4 books that are about the following topics:
Ernest Shackleton - Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton was an Anglo-Irish polar explorer whose remarkable journeys cemented his place among the most important figures of the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration. Shackleton's story is one of daring, leadership, and resilience, traits that made him a legendary figure in the annals of exploration.
Marco Polo - Marco Emilio Polo, born in Venice, was a Venetian merchant, explorer, and writer who became renowned for his extraordinary travels across Asia between 1271 and 1295. His journey, which spanned much of the Silk Road, was chronicled in The Travels of Marco Polo, also known as Book of the Marvels of the World and Il Milione (circa 1300).
The Pilgrims - The Pilgrims, also known as the Pilgrim Fathers, were a group of English settlers who made the historic journey across the Atlantic on the Mayflower and founded the Plymouth Colony in what is now Plymouth, Massachusetts. The colony was named after the port of Plymouth in England, which had been the final departure point for their voyage. The Pilgrims were part of a religious movement rooted in the Puritan faith, but with distinct beliefs that set them apart from other Puritans at the time.
Vasco da Gama - Vasco da Gama, the 1st Count of Vidigueira, is widely celebrated as the first European to reach India by sea. His landmark journey, which took place from 1497 to 1499, was groundbreaking in that it provided the first direct oceanic connection between Europe and Asia. By navigating around the Cape of Good Hope, located at the southern tip of Africa, da Gama linked the Atlantic and Indian Oceans for the first time, thereby bridging the Western world and the Eastern world. This achievement is considered a pivotal moment in history, marking the beginning of an era of global exploration and the rise of maritime multiculturalism.

Stammering Against Truth -...

Wen Gibson

This intimate and unflinching memoir explores Wen's struggle to survive, and confronts the belief that people don't change. Through appalling abuse and neglect, Wen finds a way to a very different kind of life, embodying resilience, healing and transformation. 
The story is woven through with the intriguing themes of Wen's life. With humility, understanding and beauty, she delves into the plight of a stammerer, the unbreakable bonds of twinship, and her body's need to dissociate. 
Wen's evocative imagery transports the reader from the red dirt of Broome, to the streets of India and the mists of Scotland. She crosses the continents, often by bicycle, committing to radical political action and spiritual exploration. These pursuits help forge her growing character. 
After settling in Scotland, she uncovers buried memories of a terrifying Queensland childhood shrouded in threats and lies, and of her father's links to a Brisbane paedophile gang. 
'To the outside world, we were the picture-perfect family. No one would have believed me, even if I could have found the words.' 
She doesn't recoil from facing the truth of her childhood or the unconscionable harm her parents perpetuated. 
Wen tells how she found her way to her heart and her true gender self. In doing so, she celebrates the power of kindness. Stammering Against Truth is a powerful and empowering book that proves past traumas need not define our futures.
