Sinossi

In "The Healing of Nations and the Hidden Sources of Their Strife," Edward Carpenter delves into the intricate interplay between societal woes and the enduring human spirit. Through a reflective yet impassioned literary style, Carpenter weaves together philosophical insights and social commentary to explore the root causes of national conflicts and individual discord. Situating his discourse within the broader context of early 20th-century socio-political upheaval, he examines how psychological, emotional, and spiritual dimensions contribute to a nation's well-being or strife, urging a holistic understanding that transcends mere political solutions. Edward Carpenter, a prominent figure in the early socialist movement and a pioneering advocate for sexual freedom, infused his works with a profound empathy for humanity. His experiences as a lifelong activist and his deep commitment to social justice profoundly influenced his perspectives on the human condition. Carpenter's rich background in philosophy, coupled with his personal encounters with marginalized societies, imbues this book with a compelling urgency and relevance, drawing readers toward a path of introspection and reform. This seminal work is highly recommended for those interested in the undercurrents of social conflict and the quest for peace. Carpenter's lyrical prose and incisive analysis not only enlighten readers about the complexities of human relationships but also inspire a collective movement toward understanding and healing.

    “A beautiful blend of folklore, botanical science, acquired wisdom, and spiritual guidance.” —from the foreword by Luisah Teish   “If you want to learn about the reciprocal spiritual connection between humans and trees, you’re going to love this beautiful book.” —Tess Whitehurst, author of The Magic of Trees   Reclaiming traditional botanical and herbal practices has never been more important than it is today. So much of our future depends on our ability to use ancient earth knowledge. In this crucially important book, author Stephanie Rose Bird recounts the story of the sacred wood: how to live in it, learn from it, and derive spiritual enrichment from it, as well as how to preserve and protect it. The Healing Tree offers functional, accessible recipes, remedies, and rituals derived from a variety of African and African American traditions to serve mind, body, soul, and spirit.The Healing Tree celebrates the forest: its powers, spirits, magic, medicine, and mysteries. Bird shares how trees have provided her with personal healing, then allows us to share in that process for our own benefit. Bird’s book follows her own personal journey, but Africa is always her touchstone—the persistent and tenacious ancestral mother wisdom and spiritual foundation that refuses to fade away. The Healing Tree preserves this knowledge, presenting it as relevant and viable and demonstrating in intimate detail how vestiges of that knowledge took root in the Western Hemisphere, in African American culture, and more broadly in American culture in general.   Previously published as A Healing Grove, this updated edition includes a new preface by the author and a source guide for the botanicals discussed within.

    Are we seeing history repeat itself?
    An urgent, surprising and altogether persuasive read, Repeat: A Warning from History will open your eyes.
    We live in an age that seems eerily familiar. A time of dictators, populists, organised lying, European wars, grabs for territory, ideological extremism and antisemitism. A time when things are falling apart and the centre is struggling to hold. The insurrection on the Capitol in January 2021 evoked chilling memories of the calamity of Hitler in the 1920s and 30s. The world needs to learn the lessons of these decades, and fast. Dennis Glover retells the story of the interwar years in a series of lessons drawn from unfolding events and the unheeded omens of those who spoke out but were ignored.

    On the Future of Our Educational...

    Friedrich Nietzsche

    In 1869, at the age of twenty-five, the precociously brilliant Friedrich Nietzsche was appointed to a professorship of classical philology at the University of Basel. He seemed marked for a successful and conventional academic career. Then the philosophy of Schopenhauer and the music of Wagner transformed his sense of purpose. The genius of such thinkers and makers—like the genius of the ancient Greeks—was the only touchstone for true understanding. How then was education to answer to such genius? Something more than sturdy scholarship was called for. A new way of teaching and questioning, a new philosophy...What that new way might be was the question Nietzsche broached in five vivid, popular public lectures in Basel in 1872. Composed in emulation (and to some degree as a satire) of a Platonic dialogue, Anti-Education presents a provocative and timely reckoning with what remains one of the great problems of modern societies.

    In Search of a Boy Named Chester...

    Shortly after the end of World War II, a 21-year-old Navy officer – just back after a year at war in the Pacific – was eager to return to his small hometown in eastern North Carolina for a brief home leave. At the San Francisco airport, a mother travelling to Omaha offered him her seat – a patriotic gesture of gratitude, he believed. There was one condition: the sailor would need to accompany her 10-year-old son and see him safely to his grandmother in Omaha. 
    The boy’s name was Chester. The sailor never forgot him. 
    Nearly 80 years later, the sailor’s son sets out to give his father a special 100th birthday gift: to discover what became of that precocious boy. 
    The book blends memoir, investigative nonfiction, and family history into a poignant and suspenseful journey. Through letters, military records, census and newspaper archives and outreach to strangers-turned-allies, the author pieces together the life of a boy nearly lost to time. Along the way, the story explores themes of memory, intergenerational connection, and the lasting impact of wartime experiences. Rich in historical detail and emotional resonance, the book will appeal to readers of narrative nonfiction, World War II history, and family sagas, and to genealogical sleuths drawn to real-life mysteries. In Search of a Boy Named Chester is a story that shows us how even the most fleeting encounters can reveal who we are and who we may become.
