Sinopse

Having sailed with Sir Francis Drake, swashbuckling privateer Rodney Hawkhurst yearns for a galleon of his own with which to plunder the Spanish Main in the name of Queen Elizabeth. Seeking investment from Sir Harry Gillingham, he has a fleeting encounter with an elfin, tomboyish golden-red-haired beauty ? Sir Harry?s youngest daughter Lizbeth ? and is bewitched by her limpid green eyes. Yet it is fair and golden-haired elder sister Phillida with whom he first falls in love... Granted his finances on the condition that Sir Harry?s weak, possibly even traitorous son sails with him in the hope that the mission will make him a man, Rodney embarks on a voyage of blood, honour and glory in which he gains great riches but loses his heart, not once, but twice. The risks are great but so are the rewards: wealth beyond compare and, as Rodney finally discovers, a greater, deeper, more passionate love than he ever imagined possible.

  • The Correlation-Causation Fallacy - Assuming Correlation Implies Causation - cover

    The Correlation-Causation...

    The correlation-causation fallacy is a common error in reasoning where people mistakenly believe that because two events or variables are correlated, one must have caused the other. This fallacy is not only widespread but can have significant consequences in various aspects of life, including science, policy-making, and everyday decision-making. It stems from the human tendency to look for patterns and explanations, often leading us to draw conclusions from observed associations without carefully analyzing the underlying mechanisms at play. 
    At its core, the fallacy occurs when a correlation—meaning two variables move together in some way—is confused with a causal relationship, where one variable directly influences or causes changes in the other. Correlation does not imply causation, a principle that is fundamental to sound scientific reasoning and critical thinking. For example, if there is a correlation between the number of hours spent watching TV and the number of people eating unhealthy food, it would be erroneous to conclude that watching TV causes people to eat poorly. Other factors, such as time spent sitting idle or lifestyle choices, could be influencing both variables. The danger of assuming causation based on correlation is that it leads to misguided conclusions, decisions, and actions. 
    This fallacy can often be found in media reports, advertising, and even scientific studies. Headlines like "Studies show that eating chocolate improves memory!" or "Increased spending on education leads to higher student performance" may imply a direct causal relationship based on observed correlations, but they neglect to account for potential confounding variables or the possibility of coincidence. In more complex situations, the misinterpretation of correlations can lead to flawed public policies, ineffective interventions, and misplaced public fear or optimism.

  • Existential and Philosophical Therapies - Living with Purpose (2 in 1) - cover

    Existential and Philosophical...

    This book contains these two titles: 
    Existential Therapy - Existential therapy is a deeply philosophical approach to psychotherapy, grounded in the belief that life’s greatest challenge is navigating its inherent uncertainties while striving to create meaning. At its core, this approach invites individuals to confront the universal dilemmas of existence: freedom, responsibility, isolation, mortality, and the search for purpose. These existential concerns, though often unsettling, are also the catalysts for personal growth and transformation. 
    Reality Therapy - Reality Therapy is a therapeutic approach that emphasizes personal responsibility and focuses on the present moment, encouraging individuals to make choices that align with their true desires and values. Developed by Dr. William Glasser in the 1960s, it diverges from traditional therapeutic methods by centering on the idea that behavior is a choice and that people can gain control of their lives through conscious decisions. At the core of Reality Therapy is the concept that all behavior is purposeful and is driven by an individual's attempt to fulfill basic needs. These needs include survival, love and belonging, power, freedom, and fun. When people feel that these needs are unmet, they often engage in behaviors that are designed to satisfy them, even if those behaviors are not helpful or productive. Reality Therapy challenges individuals to evaluate whether their current behaviors are effective in meeting these needs and whether they are serving their long-term goals.

    Experience the height of stream of consciousness storytelling with Virginia Woolf's most autobiographical and evocative work, To the Lighthouse. Set on the Isle of Skye, the novel centers on the Ramsay family and their visits to the Scottish coast, framed by the anticipation of a simple trip to a nearby lighthouse—a trip that will take ten years and a lifetime of emotional change to complete.
    
    Through the shifting perspectives of the nurturing Mrs. Ramsay, the intellectually demanding Mr. Ramsay, and the struggling artist Lily Briscoe, Woolf explores the intricate tensions of family life and the fleeting nature of experience. The famous middle section, "Time Passes," stands as one of the most haunting passages in literature, depicting the decay of the family home while world events and personal tragedies unfold in the background.
    
    A landmark of Modernist literature, To the Lighthouse is more than a story; it is a meditation on how we perceive reality and the struggle to create something permanent in a world of constant flux.
