Sinossi

In "Figures of Several Centuries," Arthur Symons presents a profound exploration of aesthetic sensibilities and their evolution across different epochs. This collection showcases a series of essays that delve into the lives and works of prominent literary figures, embodying a stylistic blend of lyrical prose and analytical depth. Symons' insight into the interplay between aesthetics and the cultural milieu of each century enhances the reader's understanding of how literature reflects and shapes societal values, making this work a vital contribution to literary criticism and the understanding of historical literary contexts. Arthur Symons, an influential figure in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, is celebrated for his role in the Symbolist movement and his keen interest in the intersection of literature and art. His extensive travel throughout Europe, coupled with his engagements with contemporaneous writers and artists, provided him with unique insights that he distilled into this collection. An advocate for modernist literature, Symons sought to bridge the gap between traditional forms and innovative expressions, an ambition seen vividly in his nuanced observations in this work. Readers seeking a deep appreciation for literary history and its key figures will find "Figures of Several Centuries" to be an indispensable resource. Symons' deft interplay of criticism and biographical detail invites readers not only to learn about the writers he discusses but to engage with the broader conversations surrounding their contributions. This book is essential for scholars, students, and anyone passionate about understanding the multifaceted landscape of literature through the ages.

    Written by Richard James, Chess for Schools: From simple strategy games to clubs and competitions is a great resource to help teachers encourage children to enjoy the benefits and challenges of the chess game
    Chess is a game of extraordinary excitement and beauty and all children should have the opportunity to experience it. Indeed, many claim that playing abstract strategy games such as chess provides a wide range of cognitive and social benefits- such as improvements in problem-solving ability and communication skills.
    However, Richard James argues that, because of the complexity of chess, most younger children would gain more benefit from simpler chess-based strategy games and incremental learning. In this practical handbook, Richard provides a wide range of games and puzzles based on these principles which are appropriate for primary schools and explains how teachers can identify children who would benefit from starting young.
    Richard also sets out how this approach can engage the whole community, including working with children with special needs, getting parents involved in learning and playing, and developing partnerships between primary and secondary schools.
    Chess for Schools shares the latest research into how children process information, combined with insights into international best practice in teaching chess to young children. The book demonstrates the transformative effect chess can have on older children, and how this can be promoted in secondary schools. Richard James offers valuable insights into the greater context of chess-playing, expressing how and why chess is a joy to so many worldwide andshares a series of resources and minigames for teachers to use with their learners.
    An ideal resource for primary and secondary school teachers wanting to introduce their pupils to chess.

    In an age where connectivity has reached unprecedented heights, humanity paradoxically experiences intensified solitude. The Internet, social media, and digital communication tools promise constant interaction, yet beneath the veneer of perpetual engagement lies a profound sense of detachment. We have woven an expansive digital web, intricately threading through every dimension of our lives. Yet, far from binding us together in deeper and more meaningful ways, this net has fragmented our relationships, distorted our sense of self, and left us lonelier than ever. 
    Indeed, the irony of our modern era is that as connectivity increases, isolation intensifies. Rather than fostering intimacy, the digital world frequently reduces interactions to hollow performances, substituting genuine human connection with a relentless pursuit of validation. We inhabit a world where messages traverse the globe instantaneously, yet conversations grow superficial; friendships are quantified by follower counts rather than measured by emotional depth; and love becomes mediated through glowing screens, stripped of warmth, tactile presence, and vulnerable authenticity.

    Mental health care has long been shrouded in misconception and stigma. Despite growing awareness, many people still harbor deep misunderstandings about mental health treatments. For decades, the public’s view of mental health has been influenced by outdated notions and portrayals in media that often fail to reflect the true complexity of mental health care. As society advances, the need to challenge these outdated perceptions becomes more urgent, especially given the rising rates of mental health issues worldwide. 
      
    At its core, mental health treatment is a deeply personal journey, one that requires careful consideration, access to the right resources, and ongoing support. However, despite the best efforts of many professionals, the landscape of mental health care is far from perfect. The reality is that treatments often come with hidden pitfalls—cost barriers, lack of regulation, and the dominance of pharmaceutical companies with their own financial interests. These challenges only deepen the complexity of the mental health crisis, making it harder for individuals to get the care they truly need. 
      
    The pharmaceutical industry plays a central role in shaping the narrative around mental health treatment. Psychiatric medications are often the first line of defense against mental health disorders, but the promise of quick fixes is not always the reality. Many individuals find themselves struggling with side effects, dependency, and the question of whether these drugs are providing long-term solutions. On the other hand, psychotherapy, while frequently effective, is often portrayed as a one-size-fits-all solution, despite its varying success rates depending on the individual and their specific condition. Add to this the growing rise of alternative and holistic treatments, which are often hailed as miracles but can lack sufficient scientific backing, and the situation becomes even more confusing.

    We are sometimes our own worst enemies, sabotaging our success and with it our chance for lasting happiness and opportunities for personal and professional fulfillment. It's Not Your Fault helps listeners uncover the subconscious reasons they hold themselves back. These blind spots were often created in childhood as coping mechanisms in response to trauma. Rather than teaching tactics that ignore or give surface attention to adverse childhood events, the book lovingly guides listeners to explore the ways these events have impacted their lives and how this knowledge will help them access true transformation. 
     
     
     
    Those who have been let down by traditional therapeutic techniques know that behavior modification doesn't work for everyone. Simply doing things differently while staying the same on the inside might help for the short term, but before long old patterns emerge. Once they decide to get serious about change, however, and stop tweaking habits in the hope it will result in lasting transformation, they can create a life by design instead of default. It takes work, an internal excavation, and Laura comes alongside the listener as a trusted guide who has been where they are now. She provides the tools and anecdotal evidence to show them how to overcome the pain of self-sabotage and create the life they desire.
