Sinopsis

Symposium is a philosophical text by Plato. It concerns itself at one level with the genesis, purpose and nature of love, and is the origin of the concept of Platonic love. Love is examined in a sequence of speeches by men attending a symposium, or drinking party. Each man must deliver an encomium, a speech in praise of Love (Eros). The party takes place at the house of the tragedian Agathon in Athens. Socrates in his speech asserts that the highest purpose of love is to become a philosopher or, literally, a lover of wisdom. The dialogue has been used as a source by social historians seeking to throw light on life in ancient Athens, in particular upon sexual behavior, and the symposium as an institution.

In response to a question about his Faith, the book and why he has written this book, the author stated “It was a lesson by my father to his kids that no matter what you’re confronted with in life if you trust in Christ and you believe without a doubt that Christ is with you, you can get through anything. That was what we learned at a very early age and that’s what stuck with me throughout my life.".....

    Schools and universities support misleading notions of 'progress' and development, fostered by the belief that ever-increasing production, consumption and profit are proper yardsticks for measuring the quality of human life. Our universities are the recruitment centres for the personnel of the consumer society, certifying citizens for service, while at the same time disposing of those judged unfit for the competitive rat race. In this bold and provocative book, Illich suggests some radical and exciting reforms for the education system.

    Step into the sharp and satirical mind of Ambrose Bierce with Write It Right: A Little Blacklist of Literary Faults — a witty, incisive guide to the art of clear and correct writing. 
    First published in 1909, this compact yet powerful manual exposes the most common blunders of language and style, offering Bierce’s signature blend of precision, humor, and biting critique. From misused words and illogical phrases to lazy constructions and pompous diction, Bierce spares no one in his mission to defend the integrity of English prose. 
    Narrated by Donavan Price, this audiobook captures the acerbic wit and intellectual rigor that made Bierce one of America’s great literary critics. Write It Right remains as relevant — and as entertaining — as ever, a must-listen for writers, editors, and lovers of language who believe that words, used well, truly matter.

    A fascinating history of the profitable paradox of the American outdoor experience: visiting nature first requires shopping 
     
     
      
    No escape to nature is complete without a trip to an outdoor recreational store or a browse through online offerings. This is the irony of the American outdoor experience: visiting wild spaces supposedly untouched by capitalism first requires shopping. With consumers spending billions of dollars on clothing and equipment each year as they seek out nature, the American outdoor sector grew over the past 150 years from a small collection of outfitters to an industry contributing more than 2 percent of the nation's economic output. 
     
     
      
    Rachel S. Gross argues that this success was predicated not just on creating functional equipment but also on selling an authentic, anticommercial outdoor identity. In other words, shopping for the woods was also about being—or becoming—the right kind of person. Demonstrating that outdoor culture is commercial culture, Gross examines Americans' journey toward outdoor expertise by tracing the development of the nascent outdoor goods industry, the influence of World War II on its growth, and the boom years of outdoor businesses.
