Sinopsis

In "Health and Education," Charles Kingsley presents a compelling exploration of the interdependence between physical well-being and intellectual development. Written during the Victorian era, the book merges scientific inquiry with a vibrant prose style that reflects Kingsley's passion for social reform and holistic education. The narrative oscillates between empirical evidence and philosophical musings, drawing on contemporary advances in health science while advocating for a more enlightened approach to education that integrates moral and physical training. Kingsley's work can be situated within the broader context of the Victorian response to industrialization, emphasizing the necessity of nurturing both body and mind. Charles Kingsley, a noted novelist, historian, and social activist, was deeply influenced by his experiences as an Anglican priest and his commitment to addressing societal inequalities. His engagement with the emerging fields of physiology and public health, along with his passion for improving the conditions of the working class, fueled his mission to promote well-rounded education. These themes resonate throughout "Health and Education," making it a vital contribution to discussions about human development in his time and beyond. This book is highly recommended for educators, health professionals, and anyone interested in the intersection of wellness and learning. Kingsley's insights remain pertinent today, encouraging readers to reflect on the holistic formation of individuals and the importance of fostering environments conducive to both health and intellectual growth.

Mass Killers - Inside the Minds...

Can you predict killing sprees? What do mass killers have in common? Why do so many of them write manifestos online and what do these tell us?
 
These are some of the questions David J. Krajicek seeks to answer in Mass Killings, on a topic that is becoming increasing urgent and desperate. In recent decades, mass shootings worldwide have increased in their savagery and frequency. Nearly all mass killers are male - and many of them are bound together by misogyny, misanthropy, and racism. They do not just "snap." They plan their assaults for months or years, drawing up detailed battle plans, and accumulating weaponry. They document the process in journals or videos online, understanding that they are leaving evidence which will help the marquee lights of their futile crimes burn brighter and longer.
 
Krajicek shows the commonalities between mass shooters, and describes the psychopathic process that leads these troubled men to commit atrocities. Mass killers feed off each other's words and deeds, and it's crucial to be able to read the signals they give out to prevent future tragedies.

Facing Down the Furies - Suicide...

An award-winning classicist turns to Greek tragedies for the wisdom to understand the damage caused by suicide and help those who are contemplating suicide themselves 
 
In Sophocles’ tragedy Oedipus the Tyrant, a messenger arrives to report that Jocasta, queen of Thebes, has killed herself. To prepare listeners for this terrible news, he announces, “The tragedies that hurt the most are those that sufferers have chosen for themselves.” Edith Hall, whose own life and psyche have been shaped by such loss—her mother’s grandfather, mother, and first cousin all took their own lives—traces the philosophical arguments on suicide, from Plato and Aristotle to David Hume and Albert Camus. 
 
In this deeply personal story, Hall explores the psychological damage that suicide inflicts across generations, relating it to the ancient Greek idea of a family curse. She draws parallels between characters from Greek tragedy and her own relatives, including her great-grandfather, whose life and death bore similar motivations to Sophocles’ Ajax: both men were overwhelmed by shame and humiliation. 
 
Hall, haunted by her own periodic suicidal urges, shows how plays by Sophocles and other Greek dramatists helped her work through the loss of her grandmother and namesake Edith and understand her relationship with her own mother. The wisdom and solace found in the ancient tragedies, she argues, can help one choose survival over painful adversity and offer comfort to those who are tragically bereaved. 
 
Edith Hall is a professor in the Department of Classics and Ancient History at Durham University. She is the author of more than thirty books, including Aristotle’s Way: How Ancient Wisdom Can Change Your Life. She lives in Cambridgeshire, UK.
