Beschreibung

The 'Spring and Autumn Annals,' attributed to Confucius, is a seminal historical text chronicling the state of Lu from 722 to 481 BCE. Using a terse and elegant literary style, the work encapsulates significant events, political intrigues, and moral lessons distilled into brief entries. This narrative format not only serves as a historical record but also reflects Confucian ideals, emphasizing virtue, justice, and the moral responsibilities of rulers, thus establishing a foundational text for later Chinese historiography and Confucian philosophy. Confucius (Kong Fuzi), a philosopher and educator of the Spring and Autumn period, aimed to instill ethical governance and societal harmony. His experiences within a fragmented political landscape, marked by warfare and moral decay, motivated him to document these events diligently. This endeavor was intended both as a record and as a reflection on the moral lessons these events imparted, revealing Confucius'Äô deep concern for the moral and ethical dimensions of governance. 'Spring and Autumn Annals' is not merely a history; it is an invitation to reflect on ethical governance and personal integrity. Scholars, students, and anyone intrigued by the philosophical underpinnings of civilized society will find this book an essential exploration of the moral dimensions inherent in the fabric of history.

    In this extraordinarily compelling trans memoir, Avi, a bearish trans man and Psychology Professor, navigates sex and dating in a phallic-centric universe of men who love men. But something is missing. To become the man he aspires to be, he needs to reconnect with Talia, his hyper-feminine straight female past, and invite her back in.  Growing up in a working-class right-wing Israeli family and barely finishing high school, he became involved in pro-Palestinian activism and escaped compulsory military service by faking madness. Despite poor schooling Avi went on to attain a PhD from Yale and change his life entirely. This memoir is the story of that journey and explores what it means to come home to oneself with brutal honesty, humour, and self-compassion.  Told in three episodes, early transition, later transition and Talia's story, this memoir tackles contemporary gender and social issues. At its heart is a universal theme: to become who we already are, we must integrate the past into the present

    Throughout history, ancient relics have fascinated explorers, historians, and scientists alike. These mysterious artifacts, often shrouded in myth and legend, offer glimpses into the past that challenge our understanding of ancient civilizations. Some relics reveal technological advancements that seem far beyond the capabilities of their time, while others carry spiritual or symbolic significance that continues to intrigue scholars today. The presence of these objects raises important questions: Were ancient societies far more advanced than previously believed? Could these artifacts point to lost knowledge, forgotten technologies, or even connections to otherworldly influences?  
      
    The allure of these relics lies not only in their historical value but also in their ability to inspire wonder. Objects such as the Antikythera Mechanism, an intricate device often called the world's first computer, continue to puzzle researchers with their complexity. Meanwhile, the Baghdad Battery—a seemingly simple clay jar—has sparked debates over whether ancient cultures harnessed electrical power long before modern discoveries. These examples, among many others, demonstrate how relics can rewrite accepted narratives about humanity's technological progress.

    Hey, there word nerd. Thank you for getting a copy of “Big & Fancy Words That Might Make you Smarter…er: A Vocabulary Builder for the Lexical Deficient Interlocutor Albeit Soon To Be Supercilious Smarty Pants Confabulator” wow… that's a long title. So basically this audiobook has a lot of highfalutin, big shot, 52 cent words that are not used that often in normal conversations, (or are they) once you learn them you will start to hear and see them all the time in books, movies, and when eavesdropping on peoples conversations. This audiobook comes complete with 366 words, for every day of the year (plus one extra word for leap year ) its word type, its definitions, and a funny example sentence that hopefully gives you a little chuckle and helps you to remember that particular word more easily. These words are a great way to build up your vocabulary, study for the SATs, gain skills for word games and crossword puzzles or just be the pompous know-it-all at the pub, (I mean the well-read and articulate conversationalist at a dinner party). Whatever your wish to have a larger knowledge of words is, this is a good place to start; so put on those headphones, throw in the 8 track, cassette, cd, or whatever listening device the kids use these days, and listen to this audiobook in your car, on your cell phone while at work when the boss is not looking, while cleaning the house, or before you go to bed at night, and in time, you too, might just become one of the great dialogists. What’s that? A doctor, a scientist?  Nope, but you will find out soon enough after you hit play. So happy listening and I hope you gain a plenitude of verbal cognizance and that you don’t take umbrage with this recording and start pontificating which leads to being allocated to the nearest hoosegow.

    A coming-of-age memoir about a young woman and her friends squatting in abandoned houses in London in the late 70s during the emerging counterculture scene.
    Set in South London (Crystal Palace), Deborah mingled with some of the biggest names to emerge from the scene. She booked The Damned's first show, served pints to Johnny Rotten, and attended a backyard gig from King Kurt.
    Squat life was sex, drugs and punk rock but it wasn't all fun and games. The Peanut Factory shows Deborah navigating a male-dominated scene, moving every few months and living with drug dealers, sex workers, people on the run, and working-class kids like her.
    Despite the chaos, the squatters were a family. They were kids creating their own rules. Making art. Living life on the fly. The Peanut Factory is an ode to the youthful rebellion of the 1970s and to London itself.
    'A window into a time of raw energy and rough edges, Deb Price paints a vivid picture of life in the squats of South London. By turns amusing and alarming, but always engaging, we accompany a teenager as she navigates her way to womanhood in a sub-culture on the margins.' - Allie Rogers, author of Little Gold and Tale of a Tooth
