Sinopse

In "Three Years on the Plains: Observations of Indians, 1867-1870," Edmund B. Tuttle offers a vivid and nuanced account of his extensive observations of Native American life during a transformative period in American history. The narrative is marked by Tuttle's keen attention to detail and an empathetic literary style that balances personal reflections with anthropological insights. Through his encounters with Native tribes, Tuttle weaves a rich tapestry that highlights the complexities of their cultures amid the encroachment of westward expansion, capturing a critical moment in the interplay between Indigenous peoples and American settlers. Edmund B. Tuttle, an astute observer and a man of his time, found himself deeply affected by the cultural encounters during his expedition. His background as a writer and a participant in westward expansion instilled in him a sense of responsibility to document the stories of those often marginalized in the broader narrative of American history. Tuttle's work stands as a testament to his commitment to fostering understanding during a period characterized by conflict and misunderstanding. This book is an essential read for scholars of American history, anthropology, and indigenous studies. Tuttle's firsthand experiences offer invaluable perspectives that challenge prevailing historical narratives, making it an enlightening resource for anyone seeking deeper insights into Native American cultures during the late 19th century.

    In her career as a science reporter, Nell Greenfieldboyce has reported from inside a space shuttle, the bottom of a coal mine, and the control room of a particle collider; she's presented news on the color of dinosaur eggs, ice worms that live on mountaintop glaciers, and signs of life on Venus. In this, her debut book, she delivers a wholly original collection of powerful, emotionally raw, and unforgettable personal essays that probe the places where science touches our lives most intimately. 
     
     
     
    Expertly weaving her own experiences of motherhood and marriage with an almost devotional attention to the natural world, Greenfieldboyce grapples with the weighty dualities of life: birth and death, constancy and impermanence, memory and doubt, love and aging. She looks for a connection to the universe by embarking on a search for the otherworldly glint of a micrometeorite in the dust, consults meteorologists and storm chasers on the eerie power of tornadoes to soothe her children's anxieties, and processes her adolescent oblivion through the startling discovery of black holes. 
     
     
     
    A beautiful blend of explanatory science, original reporting, and personal experience, Transient and Strange captures the ache of ordinary life, offering resonant insights into both the world around us and the worlds within us. 
     
     
     
    Two bonus stories, "Santa" and "Paperclips," are featured at the end of the audiobook.

    Leibniz' Anthology of...

    Maimonides’ Latin translation of Moreh Nevukhim Guide for the Perplexed, was the most influential Jewish work in the last millennia (Di Segni, 2019; Rubio, 2006; Wohlman, 1988, 1995; Kohler, 2017). It marked the beginning of scholasticism, a daughter of Judaism raised by Jewish thinkers, according to historian Heinrich Graetz (Geschichte der Juden, L. 6, Leipzig 1861, p. xii). 
    Printed by Gutenberg's first mechanical press, its influence in the West went as far as the Fifth Lateran Council (1512 — 1517) "where scholars were encouraged to remove the difficulties which seemed to divide the whole of theology and philosophy (Leibniz, Théodicée, 11)." 
    For centuries, the Guide revolutionized the curriculum of school instruction by reintegrating the natural laws of thought in the sphere of faith (the fourth of which became Leibniz’ Principle of sufficient reason). 
    This complete collection of notes expounds the ideas of the Guide and features all the passages selected and rewritten by Leibniz. This first complete annotated bilingual translation of the original manuscripts in Latin serves as an entry point to the faith in conformity with Reason. 
    Rabbi Moses Maimonides' excellent book, A Guide to the Perplexed, is more philosophical than I had imagined and worthy of careful reading. The author, distinguished by his intelligence in philosophy, was well-versed in mathematics, medical art, and also in the knowledge of the sacred Scriptures. — G.W. LEIBNIZ, 1685, Leibniz’ Anthology of Maimonides’ Guide, Chapter III. 
    Rabbi Moses Ben Maimon referred to by the initials of his name as RAMBAM, also known in the past as Moseh d’Egypto (Moses of Egypt) because of his long residence there, was born in Córdoba (Spain) in 1131 4891 and left this temporal world in 1204 4964. He is the most universal Rabbi of an eternal tradition.

Franz Kafka's "The Metamorphosis" takes readers on a surreal journey through the absurdity of existence.Spanning across different literary styles and historical periods, these works offer readers an immersive experience into the complexities of existentialism. They challenge conventional norms, question the nature of reality, and invite readers to grapple with existential questions that lie at the core of human existence. "Existentialism: Philosophical and Literary Works" serves as a valuable resource for students, scholars, and enthusiasts seeking a comprehensive understanding of existentialist philosophy and its interplay with literature. It provides a nuanced exploration of existentialism's key ideas through diverse voices, encouraging readers to engage with the philosophical and existential dilemmas that shape our understanding of self, society, and the human condition.Contents:Fyodor Dostoevsky.

    This collection examines the intense conflict between the Jacobins and the Girondins, two factions with differing views on the direction of the revolution. While the Jacobins, led by figures like Robespierre, advocated for radical change and direct action, the Girondins sought a more moderate approach, leading to intense political battles that shaped the course of the revolution. 
    The book also explores the Reign of Terror, one of the darkest periods in revolutionary France, when the Jacobins seized power and executed thousands of perceived enemies of the revolution, including former allies. This campaign of political repression became infamous for its brutality and the paranoia it instilled across the country. Finally, the Thermidorian Reaction marks a critical turning point, as revolutionary fervor gave way to reactionary forces, leading to the fall of Robespierre and the decline of radicalism. 
    Together, these events showcase the volatile nature of the French Revolution, highlighting the dangers of factionalism and the consequences of unchecked power. Factional Conflicts reveals how divisions within the revolution itself contributed to its eventual unraveling and the establishment of a new order in France.
