Sinopsis

What is a traditional liberal education, and what are the arguments for it in the twenty-first century? This collection of essays by Anthony O’Hear sets out an alternative educational philosophy to the prevailing progressivist thinking on these issues, which tends to be either utilitarian or child-centred, or both, and often politically motivated.

    WW2 Heroes - Extraordinary...

    This book consists of 4 titles, which are: 
    - The French Resistance: The French Resistance is one of the most remarkable and inspiring stories of World War II, a testament to the courage and defiance shown by ordinary people in the face of unimaginable adversity. During the Nazi occupation of France from 1940 to 1944, countless men and women rose to challenge the brutal regime that had taken control of their country. 
    - The Homefront Heroes: The term "homefront" often evokes images of soldiers in trenches or aircraft soaring across the skies, but it is also a powerful representation of the unseen sacrifices and contributions made by civilians during times of war. During World War II, the homefront became an essential element in the overall war effort, with civilians across the world playing critical roles in supporting the troops and maintaining the stability of their countries. 
    - Women at War: Before the outbreak of World War II, women’s roles in society were primarily defined by traditional expectations of domesticity and support. The early 20th century saw most women confined to the home, tasked with caring for children, managing households, and supporting their husbands. While some women worked outside the home, their opportunities were limited to roles deemed suitable for their gender, such as teaching, nursing, and clerical work. 
    - Fighter Aces of World War II: The concept of the "fighter ace" emerged during the early days of aerial warfare, capturing the imagination of the public and military strategists alike. A fighter ace, typically defined as a pilot who has achieved five or more confirmed aerial victories, became a symbol of skill, bravery, and national pride during World War II.

    The Watchmakers - A Powerful WW2...

    Harry Lenga was born to a family of Chassidic Jews in Kozhnitz, Poland. The proud sons of a watchmaker, Harry and his two brothers, Mailekh and Moishe, studied their father's trade at a young age. Upon the German invasion of Poland, when the Lenga family was upended, Harry and his brothers never anticipated that the tools acquired from their father would be the key to their survival. 
     
     
      
    Under the most devastating conditions imaginable—with death always imminent—fixing watches for the Germans in the ghettos and brutal slave labor camps of occupied Poland and Austria bought their lives over and over again. From Wolanow and Starachowice to Auschwitz and Ebensee, Harry, Mailekh, and Moishe endured, bartered, worked, prayed, and lived to see liberation. 
     
     
      
    Derived from more than a decade of interviews with Harry Lenga, conducted by his own son Scott and others, The Watchmakers is Harry's heartening and unflinchingly honest first-person account of his childhood, the lessons learned from his own father, his harrowing tribulations, and his inspiring life before, during, and after the war. It is a singular and vital story, told from one generation to the next—and a profoundly moving tribute to brotherhood, fatherhood, family, and faith.
