Sinopse

In "Hypatia; or, Woman and Knowledge," Dora Russell weaves a compelling narrative that intertwines the philosophical discourse of the ancient world with a poignant critique of gender roles in education and society. Through her portrayal of Hypatia, a renowned female philosopher and mathematician of Alexandria, Russell employs a rich literary style that blends historical analysis with emotional depth, illuminating the struggles faced by women in the pursuit of knowledge. The book situates Hypatia within the larger context of early feminist thought, challenging contemporary readers to reflect on the intersections of gender, intellect, and societal constraints. Dora Russell, a prominent figure in the early 20th century feminist movement, is known for her advocacy for women's rights and education, which undoubtedly influenced her exploration of Hypatia's life and legacy. Russell's firsthand experiences with the educational inequalities of her time instilled in her a passion for addressing the systemic obstacles that women encounter. Her commitment to social reform and intellectual challenge not only deepens the characterization of Hypatia but also serves as a mirror to the ongoing struggles for gender equality in intellectual pursuits. I highly recommend "Hypatia; or, Woman and Knowledge" to readers interested in feminist literature, history, and philosophy. Russell's synthesis of biography and social critique offers profound insights into the enduring legacy of women in academia and encourages a critical examination of how the past shapes contemporary discussions on knowledge and gender. This work is essential reading for anyone who seeks to understand the complexity of women's contributions to intellectual history.

    From rap artists wearing their symbol to multi-million dollar movies, the enigmatic and elusive secret society we know as the illuminti has held us captive in more ways than one. 
     
    We are told they originated in the 18th century, but the truth is much older than that. Who are they? What secrets do they hold? When and where did they originate? 
     
    They run governments, companies and religions. They have done so for a very long time. Their names have changed, their faces altered but their secrets remain the same. 
     
    We see glimpses of their power. We see the outcomes of their plots and schemes. We see revolutions and war. We succumb to their propaganda and manipulation again and again. Most have no idea that they are under the spell. 
     
    In the 18th century they emerged briefly into the spotlight to bring about world-wide cataclysmic change and they called themselves the Illuminati. 
     
    Quickly they spread and embedded themselves and their ideals within other secret societies. The French had a bloody revolution. America turned the tide against a royal regime. Russia, Spain and more, all fell to the zeal of a new world order. 
     
    In this book we will delve deep into the what these people believe in and enter their secret initiations and rituals. We will explain what those rituals mean and their origins. 
     
    We will see the spread of their influence with the assassins, Druze, Yezidis, Allumbrados, Ismailis, Templars, Triad and more. We will see how they created and fostered revolutions from France and America to China and Russia. And we will uncover their very ancient origins and how they were there at the very beginning of the major religions of the globe. 
     
    This is the story of the world's most powerful secret society - the illuminati.

    Many never find happiness at work. Will you? 
    Why are so many people unhappy at work, if they choose the work they do? After teaching as a professor at the New York University Leonard N. Stern School of Business, The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, and Ivey Business School in Canada, Bryan Hong shares his observations based on hundreds of conversations with his students before and after graduation. 
    Although many don't realize it, unhappiness at work is a consequence of the way we've designed our society, especially our education system. Rather than prepare us for genuine success and happiness in life, most of us are never told what we need to know to answer even our most basic life questions. In this book, Dr. Hong shares what everyone who wants to be happier at work-and in life-should know. The first step begins with the most important lesson so many of us never learn in school: We must evolve to our true purpose. 
    In this book, the author explores:How our society works to shape us in ways that will never lead to happiness at workWhat it truly means to have a strong sense of purpose at work, and why we all need it for a life beyond survival and pleasureHow we can evolve to purpose in a world where so many work without it 
    What if there was much more to your life than what you've been told?

    Seasons of Sobriety was originally written as a therapeutic outlet during a period filled 
    with darkness. As time went on, however, the writing evolved into something more 
    enlightened. The purpose of this book, which begins with the journey toward addiction 
    and ends with a sober-curious mindset, is to offer encouragement and inspiration, as 
    well as to illustrate through poetry and prose that a powerful potential exists within every 
    person, ready to be awakened. The book is divided into four chapters that represent 
    the seasons of the year (winter, spring, summer, and autumn) because each season 
    represents a different phase of the journey: impulsivity, healing, abundance, and 
    renewal. As you travel through the seasons, you feel the impact of the poetry as it 
    relates to the natural world. The book will start with the darkness of winter but keep 
    reading to find the brilliant colors in autumn. If you are trapped in the dark, the poems in 
    this book will offer tools and thought-provoking ideas to help you find the light.

    The Medieval Mind of C S Lewis -...

    C. S. Lewis had one of the great minds of the twentieth century.
    Many readers know Lewis as an author of fiction and fantasy literature, including the Chronicles of Narnia and the Space Trilogy. Others know him for his books in apologetics, including Mere Christianity and The Problem of Pain. But few know him for his scholarly work as a professor of medieval and Renaissance literature.
    What shaped the mind of this great thinker? Jason Baxter argues that Lewis was deeply formed not only by the words of Scripture and his love of ancient mythology, but also by medieval literature. For this undeniably modern Christian, authors like Dante and Boethius provided a worldview that was relevant to the challenges of the contemporary world.
    Here, readers will encounter an unknown figure to guide them in their own journey: C. S. Lewis the medievalist.
