Sinopsis

In "The Hand Phrenologically Considered," the anonymous author delves into the intricate relationship between phrenology and the study of the human hand, proposing a unique synthesis of physical and psychological characteristics. Employing a didactic style that mirrors the scientific inquiries of the 19th century, this work examines how the shapes and lines of the hand correspond to various personality traits and potentialities, reflecting the era's fascination with determinism and the burgeoning interest in pseudo-scientific explorations. The author utilizes a blend of anecdotal evidence and empirical observation to provide a compelling narrative that prompts readers to contemplate the intersections of biology and behavior. The author's anonymity adds a layer of intrigue, suggesting a deliberate desire to focus on the ideas rather than personal identity. Emerging within the broader context of 19th-century scientific thought, the work reflects a tumultuous period marked by excitement over psychological and physiological theories. This unseen scholar's engagement with contemporary discourses on phrenology and hand analysis speaks to the intellectual climate that sought to understand humanity through quantifiable means. "The Hand Phrenologically Considered" is a must-read for enthusiasts of esoteric sciences, providing a thought-provoking examination of how the human form intertwines with individuality. Ideal for scholars, historians, and curious minds alike, this book invites readers to ponder the deeper implications of physicality on the fabric of identity, encouraging a reflective exploration of self and society.

    "An Essay Concerning Human Understanding" is a philosophical work written by John Locke in the late 17th century. It is one of the most influential works in the history of Western philosophy and is considered a cornerstone of modern empiricism. 
    In this book, Locke sets out to explore the nature and limits of human knowledge, arguing that all knowledge is derived from experience, either through our senses or through reflection on our own mental processes. He rejects the idea of innate ideas or knowledge that we are born with, instead proposing that the mind at birth is like a blank slate or "tabula rasa" that is gradually filled with knowledge through experience. 
    Locke also examines the nature of language and how it relates to our ability to reason and understand the world. He argues that language is essential for human thought and that it shapes the way we perceive and understand the world around us. 
    Another important aspect of Locke's philosophy is his theory of personal identity. He argues that our sense of self is not based on any underlying substance or soul, but rather on a continuity of consciousness and memory. 
    Overall, "An Essay Concerning Human Understanding" is a profound and influential work that continues to shape modern philosophical thought. It explores many of the fundamental questions about human knowledge and perception that still occupy philosophers today.

    Bernardine Szold Fritz arrived in Shanghai in 1929 to marry her fourth husband. Only thirty-three years old, she found herself in a time and place like no other. Political intrigue and scandal lurked on every street corner. Art Deco cinemas showed the latest Hollywood flicks, while dancehall owners and jazz musicians turned Shanghai into Asia's top nightlife destination. 
     
     
     
    Yet from the night of their wedding, Bernardine's new husband did not live up to his promises. Instead of feeling sorry for herself or leaving Shanghai, Bernardine decided to make a place for herself. Like other Jewish women before her, she started a salon in her home, drawing famous names from the world of politics, the arts, and the intelligentsia. And when Hollywood stars Anna May Wong, Charlie Chaplin, and Claudette Colbert passed through Shanghai, Bernardine organized gatherings to introduce them to their Shanghai contemporaries. 
     
     
     
    When Bernardine's salon could not accommodate all who wanted to attend, she founded the International Arts Theater to produce avant-garde plays, ballets, lectures, and visual arts exhibits, often pushing audiences beyond their comfort zones. As civil war brewed and World War II soon followed, Bernardine's devotion to the arts and the people of Shanghai brought joy to the city just before it would change forever.

    Five Major Reasons Africa is...

    Africa is one of the oldest continents but hasn’t it struck you as absolutely odd how a continent endowed with such wealth in terms of both ground resource as well as human resource, unbelievably great weather and wonderful soil can have such unbelievably high levels of poverty? It is nothing short of preposterous. 
    What makes this worse for is the fact that 58 years later, Africa still grapples with so much challenges that make you wonder why it has taken us so long as a people to be emancipated in every way. 
    In 1963, on 1st May, leaders from all across free and colonized Africa gathered in Addis Ababa with a dream of seeing the African continent become one giant regional power. It has not happened yet – but however that does not take away the yearning every son and daughter of the soil has to see Pan Africanism materialize. 
    The purpose for this narrative by the author in this particular book is to add his voice and help ignite any smoldering rubble of broken dreams and disenchantment back to a blazing flame. 
    It is Mwambazi’s opinion that Africa has everything it needs to become the economic engine of the entire world and can and will surpass both the West and the East should its citizens awaken to their true potential. 
    Now here is the enigma, AFRICA DOESN’T NEED THE REST OF THE WORLD TO SURVIVE BUT THE WORLD NEEDS AFRICA TO SURVIVE. I believe the Second African Renaissance is upon us, but it will take A COLLECTIVE AWAKENING OF THE GIANT’S INDIVIDUAL COMPONENTS – ITS PEOPLE!
