Sinopsis

In "Education," Ellen G. White presents a profound exploration of the philosophy and purpose of education from a holistic perspective, intertwining spiritual, intellectual, and physical development. An advocate for moral and character education, White employs a didactic literary style, enriched with scriptural references and practical examples. She frames education not merely as the acquisition of knowledge but as a process designed to cultivate the mind and spirit, preparing individuals for a life of service and fulfillment. This work resonates within the broader context of late 19th-century reform movements, emphasizing the transformative potential of learning grounded in moral principles. Ellen G. White (1827-1915) was a prolific writer and a key figure in the Seventh-day Adventist Church, whose vision for education was shaped by her own experiences and the societal needs of her time. A staunch advocate for health, literacy, and social justice, she drew upon her extensive knowledge of theology and personal revelations to address the pressing educational challenges of her day. Her insights remain relevant, reflecting a commitment to fostering holistic development in individuals. "Education" is an essential read for educators, parents, and anyone interested in the interplay between learning and spiritual growth. It encourages a transformative approach to education, promoting not only academic excellence but also the moral and ethical foundation necessary for meaningful living. White's insights challenge readers to reconsider their educational priorities, making this work a timeless classic.

The Autumn Ghost - How the...

Hannah Wunsch

Americans knew polio as the "summer plague." In countries further North, however, the virus arrived later in the year. It was described by one writer as "the autumn ghost." 
 
 
 
Intensive care units and mechanical ventilation are the crucial foundation of modern medical care: without them, the appalling death toll of the COVID-19 pandemic would be even higher. In The Autumn Ghost, Dr. Hannah Wunsch traces the origins of these two innovations back to a polio epidemic in the autumn of 1952. Drawing together testimony from doctors, nurses, medical students, and patients, Wunsch relates a gripping tale of an epidemic that changed the world. 
 
 
 
Wunsch tells the true story of how insiders and iconoclasts came together in one overwhelmed hospital in Copenhagen to save the lives of many polio patients dying of respiratory failure. Their radical advances in care marked a turning point in the treatment of patients around the world—from the rise of life support and the creation of intensive care units to the evolution of rehabilitation medicine. 
 
 
 
The Autumn Ghost will leave listeners in awe of the courage of those who battled the polio epidemic, and grateful for the modern medical care they pioneered.

Sandra Mantz

As algorithms become increasingly adept at accessing the human mind, they also become more and more powerful at controlling it, enticing us to buy a certain product or vote for a certain political candidate. Some of us say this technological trend is no big deal. Others consider it one of the greatest threats to humanity. But what if the truth is more nuanced and mind-bending than that? 
 
 
 
In Mindmasters, Columbia Business School professor Sandra Matz reveals in fascinating detail how big data offers insights into the most intimate aspects of our psyches and how these insights empower an external influence over the choices we make. This can be creepy, manipulative, and downright harmful, with scandals like that of British consulting firm Cambridge Analytica being merely the tip of the iceberg. Yet big data also holds enormous potential to help us live healthier, happier lives—for example, by improving our mental health, encouraging better financial decisions, or enabling us to break out of our echo chambers. 
 
 
 
With passion and clear-eyed precision, Matz shows us how to manage psychological targeting and redesign the data game.
