Sinossi

What does it mean to obsess about clothes and appearances? For some of us, deciding what to wear can involve tension and torment as well as delight. What do we mean by 'looking classy' or 'power dressing'? What are the connections – or contradictions – between dress and desire, glamour and feminism? Do our choices reflect or challenge social values and constraints in women's lives?


Appearances is both memoir and cultural history. It considers attitudes to personal appearance through four generations of women in the author's family, weaving memory through a wide-ranging exploration of fashion, femininity and feminism in the recent past.

    Goodbye Christopher Robin: A.A. Milne and the Making of Winnie-the-Pooh is drawn from Ann Thwaite's Whitbread Award-winning biography of A. A. Milne, one of England's most successful writers. 
     
     
     
    After serving in the First World War, Milne wrote a number of well-received plays, but his greatest triumph came when he created Winnie-the-Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, Eeyore, and, of course, Christopher Robin, the adventurous little boy based on his own son. Goodbye Christopher Robin inspired the film directed by Simon Curtis and starring Domhnall Gleeson, Margot Robbie, and Kelly Macdonald. It offers the listener a glimpse into the relationship between Milne and the real-life Christopher Robin, whose toys inspired the magical world of the Hundred Acre Wood. 
     
     
     
    Goodbye Christopher Robin is a story of celebrity, a story of both the joys and pains of success, and, ultimately, the story of how one man created a series of enchanting tales that brought hope and comfort to an England ravaged by the First World War.

    There is an elite group that control the world. They run governments, companies and religions. They have done so for a very long time. Their names have changed, their faces altered but their bloodlines remain the same. We see glimpses of their power. We see the outcomes of their plots and schemes. We see revolutions and war. We succumb to their propaganda and manipulation again and again. Most have no idea that they are under the spell. 
     
    In the 18th century they emerged briefly into the spotlight to bring about world-wide cataclysmic change and they called themselves the Illuminati. Quickly they spread and embedded themselves and their ideals within other secret societies. The French had a bloody revolution. America turned the tide against a royal regime. Russia, Spain and more, all fell to the zeal of a new world order. 
     
    This is the story of the world's most powerful secret and sacred order.

  • The Noble Eightfold Path - Way to the End of Suffering - cover

    The Noble Eightfold Path - Way...

    Bhikkhu Bodhi

    The Buddha's teachings center around two basic principles. One is the Four Noble Truths, in which the Buddha diagnoses the problem of suffering and indicates the treatment necessary to remedy this problem. The other is the Noble Eightfold Path, the practical discipline he prescribes to uproot and eliminate the deep underlying causes of suffering.
     
    This book offers a concise and thorough explanation of the Eightfold Path. Bhikkhu Bodhi examines each factor of the path to determine what it implies in the way of practical training. In the concluding chapter, he shows how all factors of the path function in unison to bring about the realization of the goal of liberation.
     
    From the preface by the author:
     
    "The essence of the Buddha's teaching can be summed up in two principles: the Four Noble Truths and the Noble Eightfold Path. The first covers the side of doctrine, and the primary response its elicits is understanding; the second covers the side of discipline, in the broadest sense of that word, and the primary response it calls for is practice."

    The Origin and Development of the Atomic Theory is a concise and illuminating journey through one of the most important ideas in human thought: the nature of matter itself. 
    Written in the early twentieth century, Maynard Shipley traces the evolution of atomic theory from its philosophical beginnings in the ancient world to its emergence as a cornerstone of modern science. Beginning with the Pythagoreans and early Greek and Indian thinkers, Shipley explores how number, geometry, and speculation first shaped humanity’s attempts to understand the structure of reality. 
    The narrative follows the development of atomism through Leucippus and Democritus, examining atoms and the void, causal necessity, sensory perception, and the physical properties of shape, size, and arrangement. Shipley contrasts these ideas with competing schools of thought, including the Eleatics’ denial of motion and Anaxagoras’ theory of “seeds,” before turning to Epicurus and Lucretius, whose writings defended atomism against superstition and divine design. 
    In its final chapters, the book connects ancient philosophy to modern science, charting the revival of atomism through thinkers such as Descartes and Gassendi and culminating in John Dalton’s quantitative laws of chemistry. Shipley concludes by linking these early models to modern discoveries—electrons, nuclei, isotopes, and atomic number—showing how a speculative idea became a measurable scientific reality. 
    Clear, thoughtful, and accessible, The Origin and Development of the Atomic Theory offers a timeless overview of how human reason slowly uncovered the hidden structure of matter—and laid the foundations of chemistry and physics as we know them.
