  Heretics by Gilbert Keith Chesterton is a bold and intellectually provocative collection of essays in which Chesterton examines and challenges the dominant thinkers, movements, and assumptions of his time.
  
  With his signature wit, paradox, and clarity, Chesterton critiques modern ideologies and cultural trends, questioning the foundations of contemporary thought and exposing what he sees as inconsistencies in popular philosophy. Each essay engages directly with influential intellectual figures, offering sharp analysis paired with humor and moral reflection.
  
  Rather than simply dismissing opposing viewpoints, Chesterton carefully dismantles them through reasoned argument, vivid imagery, and unexpected insight. His writing is both entertaining and deeply thought-provoking, encouraging readers to reconsider accepted beliefs and examine the assumptions behind modern life.
  
  Heretics stands as one of Chesterton's most influential works of cultural and philosophical criticism. It remains essential reading for anyone interested in the intersection of literature, philosophy, and social commentary, and continues to spark discussion on truth, belief, and intellectual freedom.

  Cobalt - Cradle of the Demon...

  The world is desperate for cobalt. It drives the proliferation of digital and clean technologies. But this "demon metal" has a horrific present and a troubled history. 
   
   
   
  The modern search for cobalt has brought investors back to a small town in Northern Canada, a place called Cobalt. Like the demon metal, this town has a dark and turbulent history. 
   
   
   
  The tale of the early-twentieth-century mining rush at Cobalt has been told as a settle's adventure, but Indigenous people had already been trading in metals from the region for two thousand years. And the events that happened here—the theft of Indigenous lands, the exploitation of a multicultural workforce, and the destruction of the natural environment—established a template for resource extraction that has been exported around the world. 
   
    
   
  Charlie Angus reframes the complex and intersectional history of Cobalt within a broader international frame—from the conquistadores to the Western gold rush to the struggles in the Democratic Republic of Congo today. He demonstrates how Cobalt set Canada on its path to become the world's dominant mining superpower.

  In Unit 1 you will hear Korean decoded with each syllable spoken very slowly and clearly with repetition. Immediately before each sentence is spoken, you will hear the translation, so you will always understand what is being said. 
  Unit 2 focuses solely on increasing your listening ability, which will improve your abilities to engage in dialogue with a native Korean speaker. This chapter requires you to listen very carefully to nuances in the language.

While you are learning to process naturally spoken Korean, Units 3 and 4 will help you memorise new vocabulary and full sentences.
