Sinopsis

In this book, the American philosopher Edward Carpenter reassesses the meaning of civilization and its role in the development of humanity and morality. As the author says: "hospitality of the wild Arab, the courage of the North American Indian, and the faithful friendships of some of the Polynesian nations, far surpass anything of a similar kind among the polished communities of Europe." Further, Carpenter reflects his acquaintance with the people of the indigenous tribes like Bushmen, Eskimo, Samoyedes, Zulu.

    What kind of political structure might one day enable Israelis and Palestinians to overcome the seemingly interminable cycle of violence and live in peace with one another? For many years, politicians and citizens have called for a two-state solution—two independent states, Israel and Palestine, coexisting side by side. This was Shlomo Sand's view too, but as more settlements were built in the occupied West Bank and millions of Palestinians were forced to live in a situation of de facto apartheid, deprived of their basic civil rights and political freedoms, he came to the conclusion that the two-state solution had become an empty formula that no one seriously intended to implement. 
     
     
     
    It was in this context that Sand sought to find an alternative way out of the Israeli-Palestinian imbroglio. He discovered that some Zionists and other Jewish intellectuals had rejected the idea of an exclusive Jewish state and had supported moves to create a binational federation. They believed that only egalitarian integration within the framework of a common state would ensure that Israel could be a safe haven for all of its inhabitants. While the chances of realizing this egalitarian vision may seem remote in the current hostile context, it may well be that a binational state in which Israelis and Palestinians are treated as equals is the only realistic solution in the end.

    Behavior therapy is a transformative approach to addressing some of the most persistent challenges in human behavior. It operates on the principle that our actions, emotions, and thoughts are shaped by experiences and environments. By systematically identifying and modifying these influences, behavior therapy empowers individuals to create meaningful and lasting change in their lives. 
    At its core, behavior therapy is rooted in scientific rigor. It draws on established principles of learning theory, particularly those derived from classical and operant conditioning. These foundations provide a clear framework for understanding why people behave as they do and how those behaviors can be reshaped. Unlike approaches that focus solely on introspection or abstract theories, behavior therapy emphasizes practical strategies that deliver measurable outcomes. 
    This pragmatic focus has made behavior therapy widely applicable. From treating mental health conditions such as anxiety and depression to addressing behavioral challenges in educational settings, its impact is far-reaching. Behavior therapy has also proven effective in improving health-related behaviors, such as smoking cessation or managing chronic illness, and in organizational contexts, where it enhances productivity and collaboration. Its adaptability to diverse populations and problems is one of its greatest strengths.

    What was your experience of art in school? Was it all doilies, cheap paint, and crusty brushes? Or was it better than that but you still wondered why it seemed to be the runt of the educational litter. In this humorous, engaging, and thought-provoking book, Anna Cutler, a leading figure in art education, takes you on a journey through her personal experiences and reflections on the value of art in schools. By the end you’ll come to realise that the stakes are surprisingly high for the social, emotional, and intellectual development of our children. It is an impassioned plea to nourish, within and beyond schools, the one resource that will never run out: the human capacity to create.
     
    “Engagingly informal and on a take-it-or-leave-it basis, this wise and witty book can be absorbed quite effortlessly in one sitting. It leaves you with the sense that you’ve enjoyed one-on-one tuition from the favourite teacher you never had.”  
     
    Dr Shane Kinghorn, Manchester Metropolitan University.
     
    “I learned a great deal reading this book and laughed in all the right places. It is a powerful, persuasive ‘Call to Arts’.”
