Summary

In "The Philosophy of Elbert Hubbard," Hubbard presents a compelling synthesis of his beliefs, weaving together concepts of individuality, self-reliance, and the pursuit of personal fulfillment. His distinct literary style'Äîmarked by a conversational tone and satirical wit'Äîdraws the reader into a philosophical discourse that is as engaging as it is thought-provoking. Rooted in the early 20th-century context of American pragmatism and the Arts and Crafts movement, Hubbard's work advocates for a life lived with intention and creativity, challenging societal norms and conventional wisdom. Elbert Hubbard, a prominent writer, publisher, and social reformer, was greatly influenced by the societal shifts of his time, including industrialization and the quest for personal autonomy. With a background in craft and design, as well as a deep admiration for literary figures such as Walt Whitman and Ralph Waldo Emerson, Hubbard's philosophy emerged as a direct response to the mechanization of life and the loss of individuality. His experiences as a business entrepreneur also infuse his writing with practical wisdom. This book is highly recommended for readers seeking inspiration and clarity in living an authentic life. Hubbard's attitudes toward creativity and self-determination resonate strongly with contemporary discussions about individualism, making it a relevant resource for anyone eager to explore their own philosophies and embrace a life of purpose.

    Once you've been admitted to college, the next step is to develop a strategy of how to find your best life there. But for decades, Professor James T. Hamilton has seen students struggle with their college journey. Some avoid challenging experiences, follow a path of familiar expectations, and rely on shortcuts. Others aim for perfection, ignore their friends and health, labor over what subjects to study, and neglect spending time outside the classroom. The pressure to make college valuable and interesting can feel overwhelming. 
     
     
     
    If only students could learn how others have navigated these challenges. You could ask alums to look back on friendships and college-to-career paths and provide advice. Now, you don't have to wish because You Got In! Now What? tackles the burning questions you have. 
     
     
     
    Hamilton designs lessons to help you find purpose, manage time, maintain friendships and family relationships, stay physically and mentally healthy, and choose classes, majors, and careers. Each lesson is accompanied by an essay based on research and reflections from students, alums, and professors to provide observations for how you can embrace the best that college has to offer. With these insights, you'll explore new ideas, meet people, have adventures, and most importantly, beyond just earning a degree, get an education.

    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.

    Why War?

    Why has war been such a consistent presence throughout the human past? A leading historian explains, drawing on rich examples and keen insight. 
     
     
     
    Richard Overy is not the first scholar to take up the title question. In 1931, at the request of the League of Nations, Albert Einstein asked Sigmund Freud to collaborate on a short work examining whether there was "a way of delivering mankind from the menace of war." Published the next year as a pamphlet entitled Why War?, it conveyed Freud's conclusion that the "death drive" made any deliverance impossible—the psychological impulse to destruction was universal in the animal kingdom. The global wars of the later 1930s and 1940s seemed ample evidence of the dismal conclusion. 
     
     
     
    A preeminent historian of those wars, Overy brings vast knowledge to the title question and years of experience unraveling the knotted motivations of war. His approach is to separate the major drivers and motivations, and consider the ways each has contributed to organized conflict. They range from the impulses embedded in human biology and psychology, to the incentives to conflict developed through cultural evolution, to competition for resources. The discussions show remarkable range, delving deep into the Neolithic past, through the twentieth-century world wars, and up to the current conflict in Ukraine.
