Summary

Magna Carta Reach explores the lasting influence of a pivotal document born from medieval conflict. It examines how the Magna Carta's core tenets, such as the rule of law and due process, extend far beyond their 13th-century origins, shaping modern governance and civil liberties. Initially intended to address grievances against King John, the Magna Carta laid the foundation for constitutionalism and human rights. One intriguing aspect is how a document created in a specific historical context continues to be relevant in contemporary debates about government power. The book progresses by dissecting the original text, tracing its evolution through centuries of reinterpretation, and investigating its global reach. It highlights Magna Carta's impact on legal systems worldwide, including the United States and Canada. The book employs a balanced and analytical approach, drawing from primary sources, legal treatises, and historical chronicles to offer a nuanced account of Magna Carta's legacy. Its value lies in providing an up-to-date analysis of Magna Carta's enduring influence on political science and legal history for students and general readers alike.

    Attention implies that there is no centre - 22 June 1975 
    • Consciousness, because it is in constant movement, has never found an energy 
    which is not contradictory, which is not produced by desire and thought. 
    • Can thought ever see its own movement and the futility of its own movement? • Attention implies that there is no centre. 
    • Is there a perception, a seeing outside the space which is part of consciousness? • Therearetwohumanbeings,onegetsconditionedandtheotherdoesn’t.Why? 
    How has it happened the other doesn’t get conditioned? 
    • How does this perception which is beyond attention, beyond awareness, 
    beyond concentration come about? 
    • Thought is rather superficial, it’s merely a very small part of the operation of the 
    brain. 
    • Can consciousness be completely empty of its content? • Order and disorder

    A Grammar Series That Uses the Functional Approach 
    
    KEY FEATURES 
    - Functional approach to grammar teaching, using exemplars to illustrate the usage before defining the structure and rules 
    - Vocabulary taught through language-in-use to build the learners’ vocabulary through use rather than memorisation of rules 
    - Contemporary topics to inculcate 21-century skills amongst learners 
    - Use of literature to help learners understand how grammar is used in text 
    - A comprehension section comprising texts from different genres so that learners may relate grammar to different types of works produced in English 
    - Phonics in Grades 1 and 2 to teach the very basis of language 
    - Uniquely stylised illustrations 
    - Activities such as puzzles, crosswords, word grids and games to aid the facilitator in using the concept of ‘flipped classroom’ 
    - Periodic tests to help the learners self-assess the acquisition of concepts 
    - Digital component to cater to a technology-driven classroom 
    
    DESCRIPTION: 
    My Blue Book of Grammar is a course that has been conceptualized and designed keeping in mind the increasingly dynamic role of the English language in today’s world. Especially in our country, where English serves as the lingua franca, a grammar course has to offer not only an exposition of the pedagogy but also the exhibition of the utility of that pedagogy. The aim of a grammar series should be to encourage the development of competency amongst learners, even though their proficiency levels may vary. While the level of exposure to English of all learners may be different, a grammar series should aid in the development of a certain level of confidence amongst the learners, with the end result being that they are able to converse without hesitation in English.

  • Black Soldiers in the World Wars: The History of the Most Decorated African American Units in Both Conflicts - cover

    Black Soldiers in the World...

    The United States has no shortage of famous military units, from the Civil War’s Iron Brigade to the 101st Airborne, but one would be hard pressed to find one that had to go through as many hardships off the field as the Tuskegee Airmen, a group of African American fighter pilots who overcame Jim Crow at home and official segregation in the military to serve their country in the final years of World War II. In fact, it required a concerted effort by groups such as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and the extreme circumstances brought about by World War II that the military eventually decided to establish the “Tuskegee Experiment.” In time, the Tuskegee Airmen would be romanticized and mythologized to the extent that it was erroneously claimed that some escort squadrons didn’t lose a bomber to the enemy, which led Tuskegee airman Grant Williams to note in jest, “Back then, nobody realized the significance of what we were doing. Now, they seem to think we could walk on water."  
    Between 1942 and 1949, nearly 20,000 black men trained at Montford Point. They endured tar-paper barracks that baked in summer heat and leaked in coastal storms, learned to drill to the cadence of instructors who sometimes doubted their right to wear the uniform, and mastered skills that would carry them to the beaches and supply trails of Saipan, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa. Their story illuminated the paradox of wartime America, a republic that preached freedom abroad while policing hierarchies at home. 
    One of the most overlooked African American combat units is the Harlem Hellfighters, also known as the 369th Infantry Regiment of the U.S. Army. Initially raised as the 15th New York (Colored) National Guard and later federalized for World War I, the regiment was "loaned" to the French Army, where it compiled an extraordinary combat record, with a remarkable 191 days on the line and suffering about 1,400 casualties.
