Synopsis

In "Free Thought and Official Propaganda," Bertrand Russell deftly critiques the pervasive influence of propaganda in shaping public opinion and constraining independent thought. The book, written in a lucid and engaging prose style, invites readers to scrutinize the manipulation of truth by institutions'Äîfrom government entities to the media. Russell's arguments are steeped in historical context and philosophical inquiry, illuminating the mechanisms that impede rational discourse and the autonomy of beliefs. His exploration of the intersection between knowledge and power serves as both a warning and a call to action for the necessity of free thought in a democratic society. Bertrand Russell, a eminent philosopher, logician, and social critic, was deeply invested in the intersections of knowledge, ethics, and politics, often challenging societal norms through his writings. His experiences during World War I and activism against war propaganda profoundly influenced his worldview. Russell's commitment to pacifism, allied with his skepticism of authority and dogma, informs his relentless pursuit of truth, making this work particularly poignant in his oeuvre. "Free Thought and Official Propaganda" is essential reading for anyone keen on navigating the complexities of modern information environments. Russell's insights urge readers to cultivate their critical faculties and resist the seduction of unquestioned narratives, promoting a society where intellectual freedom thrives.

    Exploring Pittsburgh's Ups and Downs 
     
    In Pittsburgh, the elevation varies wildly, fluctuating 660 feet from highest to lowest points throughout the area and making it one of the hilliest cities in the United States. Throughout this unruly and physically challenging landscape, the city's first mass transportation system was built—a steadily expanding network of public stairways, locally referred to as city steps, these flights of stairs are a throwback to a very different time in history and a very different Pittsburgh. Authors Laura Zurowski, Charles Succop, and Matthew Jacob present the history of the Steel City steps and a walking guide to their scenic locations today.

    Sambhaji and Kavi Kalash were stunned into silence. Was it really happening or was it a dream? Ikhlas Khan had tied the two. Out of sheer desperation and anger, he slapped Sambhaji. Kaviraj, seeing Ikhlas Khan touching Raje's face, spat at him in disgust. Ikhlas Khan was enraged now and took out a whip tied around his waist. He whipped Sambhaji and Kavi in frustration before tying them on a horse back. Their clothes had been torn apart. They were made to wear a green dress, like the other soldiers.

    Embody - Feel Heal and Transform...

    A new paradigm for embodied healing in a unique, experiential, therapeutic process in which expressive movement, guided imagery, ritual, music, and creative expression work together. 
      
    In Embody, Toni Bergins, the founder and creator of JourneyDance, an internationally renowned dance movement program, shares with readers a powerful way to address trauma mindfully so people can confront it, heal, and grow to love themselves unconditionally, just as they are. Embody is a dynamic, conscious practice that can help people release what no longer serves them and shows them how to stop stuffing/numbing the pain and start feeling, stop over-thinking/limiting, and get moving! 
      
    Embodiment is the new buzzword in personal transformation, but, most often, it is connected to static practices like breathwork and meditation. For Toni Bergins, embodiment is best achieved through active movement, and has created a practice where people literally get out of their heads and into their bodies! Her program is a trauma-informed one that offers a new promise: leading readers through deep, personal work but making it feel like play. In this book, she turns the heaviness of processing pain and past trauma into an expressive art aligned with the most recent research. Specifically, trauma expert Bessel van der Kolk, writes in his bestselling The Body Keeps the Score, “In order to overcome trauma, people need to feel safe enough to open their hearts and minds to others and become engaged with new possibilities. This can be done if trauma survivors are helped to confront and confess the reality of what has happened and are helped to feel safe again. In many cultures this involves communal rhythmical activities, such as dancing …” And that is Toni Bergins’ mission and method: to help readers move into a new story for their lives. 
      
    Embody features Toni’s prescription for a comprehensive healing journey, comprised of five core elements: 
      
    • Music, to open the doorways of impulse, imagination, creativity and healing to change mood and awareness; 
      
    • Movement, to enhance presence and confidence, and release old patterns and traumas; 
      
    • Mystical Inquiry, where imagery and creative visualization exercises are used to guide readers into an alchemic and shamanic state to investigate past hurts, and learn to trust their instincts; 
      
    • Prayers and Invocations, to raise energetic vibrations to a positive place with powerful affirmations; and 
      
    • Journaling, with writing prompts to process inner self-awareness learned on the dance floor or through any of the other Embody elements. 
      
    This enhanced audiobook features original music by the author and includes a supplemental PDF.
