Sinopse

The Complete Works of David Hume is an expansive collection that unpacks the philosophical and empirical foundations of one of the Enlightenment's giants. This compendium includes Hume's major writings, ranging from A Treatise of Human Nature to his Essays, presenting a diverse literary style that seamlessly intertwines analytical rigor with narrative clarity. Hume's exploration of human understanding, skepticism, and moral philosophy is contextualized within the Scottish Enlightenment, inviting readers to consider the role of reason and emotion in human life while challenging prevailing notions of causality and metaphysics. His adept use of prose elucidates complex ideas, making this collection an essential resource for both scholars and enthusiasts of philosophy. David Hume (1711-1776) was a pivotal figure in both philosophy and history, often reflecting on the complexities of human nature shaped by his upbringing in Edinburgh. He was embroiled in the philosophical debates of his time, grappling with the contradictions of rationalism and empiricism. His background in both humanities and sciences exposed him to diverse ideas, leading him to question the foundations of knowledge itself, which are compellingly manifested in The Complete Works. I highly recommend this collection to those eager to delve into the depths of philosophical inquiry and the human condition. Hume's work remains significantly relevant today, providing crucial insights for understanding contemporary discussions in epistemology, ethics, and the philosophy of mind. Readers will find themselves enriched by Hume's provocative ideas, as well as his timeless skepticism and nuance.

    The American workplace exhibits a growing imbalance when it comes to human identity. Leaders are frequently defined in the absence of their critical social identifiers, but the exclusion of these identifiers is a mistake and ignores essential physical, cultural, and spiritual realities. Their exclusion is especially problematic for leaders of the Black identity and the Christian faith. Color-blind ideology harms people of color, while religion-blind systems damage people of faith, and both are especially problematic for individuals who reckon with both realities. 
     
     
     
    Rather than abandoning an individual's social identities, the ones we choose and the ones we do not, Leading While Black draws on the lived experiences of executive-level leaders of the Christian faith and Black identity, and offers a testament to the power of a living God in the social fabric of public life. Instead of ignoring the narrative arc of social identities and the weight they carry when considering an individual's conception of leadership, Torrance Jones leans into the value of those identities and asserts their integral importance for Black leaders and for those who work with and for Black voices.

    Boldly claiming a space in which people with disabilities can be seen and heard as they are—not as others perceive them—About Us captures the voices of a community that has for too long been stereotyped and misrepresented. Speaking not only to those with disabilities, but also to their families, coworkers, and support networks, the authors in About Us offer intimate stories of how they navigate a world not built for them. 
     
     
     
    Since its 2016 debut, the popular New York Times "Disability" column has transformed the national dialogue around disability. Now, echoing the refrain of the disability rights movement, "Nothing about us without us," this landmark collection gathers the most powerful essays from the series that speak to the fullness of human experience—stories about first romance, childhood shame and isolation, segregation, professional ambition, child-bearing and parenting, aging and beyond. 
     
     
     
    Reflecting on the fraught conversations around disability—from the friend who says "I don't think of you as disabled," to the father who scolds his child with attention differences, "Stop it stop it stop it what is wrong with you?"—the stories here reveal the range of responses, and the variety of consequences, to being labeled as "disabled" by the broader public.

    Robert Wedderburn (1762-1834/5) was one of the most charismatic, irascible, and radical intellectuals of the eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Atlantic world. Born to an enslaved woman and a slavemaster in Jamaica, and moving in the radical working-class circles of London, Wedderburn made his name as a fiery political writer and orator—before dying, forgotten, in poverty. 
     
     
      
    Among the few abolitionists bold enough to publicly call for the enslaved in the British West Indies to rise up and violently overthrow their colonial "masters," Wedderburn was also among the most outspoken and—amid an increasingly repressive British establishment—dangerous advocates for domestic political reform and working-class rights. 
     
     
      
    From award-winning scholar Ryan Hanley, this is the first full-length biography of a man increasingly recognized as central to Black radical political thought in the Revolutionary Atlantic. Tapping newly rediscovered sources, Hanley details Wedderburn's extraordinary public and private life, explores the central influence of enslaved women on his political ideas, and offers fresh analysis of his contributions to British political thought and activism.

    Nikola Tesla was a Serbian-American innovator, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, and futurist who helped establish the contemporary rotating present (AC) electrical energy delivery system. 
    Tesla, who was born and raised in the Austrian Empire, studied engineering and physics without getting a grade in the 1870s and acquired useful experience in the early 1880s operating in telephone and at Continental Edison in the nascent electrical power business. He relocated to the USA in the year 1884 and ended up being a naturalized person. Before setting out on his own, he worked for a brief time at the Edison Device Works in N.Y. City. Tesla developed labs and business in New York to develop a range of electrical and mechanical gadgets with the support of partners to fund and promote his ideas. His rotating present (AC) induction motor and associated polyphase AC developments were accredited by Westinghouse Electric in the year 1888 and were the foundation of the polyphase system that firm consequently advertised. 
    Let’s learn more about this nutty professor, this obsessed genius who was way ahead of his time.
