Synopsis

Wuthering Heights is an 1847 novel by Emily Brontë, initially published under her pen name Ellis Bell. It concerns two families of the landed gentry living on the West Yorkshire moors, the Earnshaws and the Lintons, and their turbulent relationships with Earnshaw's foster son, Heathcliff. The novel was influenced by Romanticism and Gothic fiction.

Wuthering Heights is now considered a classic of English literature, but contemporaneous reviews were polarised. It was controversial for its depictions of mental and physical cruelty, and for its challenges to Victorian morality and religious and societal values

Wuthering Heights was accepted by publisher Thomas Newby along with Anne Brontë's Agnes Grey before the success of their sister Charlotte's novel Jane Eyre, but they were published later. Charlotte edited a second edition of Wuthering Heights after Emily's death which was published in 1850. It has inspired an array of adaptations across several media, including English singer-songwriter Kate Bush's song of the same name.

    Inequality and Society -...

    Social inequality is a fundamental issue in societies around the world, shaping access to resources, opportunities, and quality of life. It refers to the uneven distribution of wealth, power, and privileges among individuals and groups, often determined by factors such as class, race, gender, and education. While some level of inequality has existed in every human society, modern economic and social structures have amplified disparities, making it a crucial area of study for sociologists, policymakers, and activists. 
    Throughout history, social inequality has taken various forms, from rigid caste systems to economic hierarchies based on capitalism. Industrialization and globalization have contributed to both the expansion of wealth and the widening of income gaps, leaving marginalized communities struggling for economic security and social recognition. The effects of inequality are not just economic; they extend into healthcare, education, political representation, and overall well-being. 
    One of the most significant consequences of inequality is the limitation it places on social mobility. In an ideal society, individuals would have the opportunity to improve their social and economic standing based on merit and effort. However, entrenched social hierarchies often make it difficult for those born into poverty or discrimination to break free from their circumstances. Access to education, employment opportunities, and healthcare remains largely determined by socioeconomic status, further reinforcing generational cycles of disadvantage.

    James Hillman is the father of Archetypal Psychology. This rare program focuses on Education, Imagination and Myth with James Hillman. Here is a transcribed excerpt: 
     
    "And it's very important for the teacher to allow these things to occur, to feel them, to experience them even to record them so that she or he feels comfortable with the strangeness of the imaginative world with the gods and the demons and the animals and the jungles and the territories that are the source of one's imaginative life. 
    Unless the teachers comfortable with that he or she will censor and repress or suppress the imaginative life of the pupil. It seems to me that everyone can be re-tread. ▪ We can all get a retread and you unlearn. 
    I mean, one of the basic things of learning is unlearning what you've learned, not just negative capability, but negative learning learning against what you've learned. 
    You have to learn the stuff and then you see through it and you unlearn it."

    The Will to Conquer: Mastering Power, Strategy, and the Art of War is a manifesto for those who refuse to be ruled. Power is not a privilege granted by fate—it is seized by those with the vision, discipline, and ruthlessness to take it. 
    In this book, A.A. Castor dismantles the myths of fairness, morality, and justice, exposing them for what they truly are: illusions designed to keep the weak in submission. Drawing from the principles of history's greatest strategists—Machiavelli, Sun Tzu, Nietzsche, and beyond—The Will to Conquer explores the foundations of dominance, manipulation, and control. 
    This book reveals: 
    ✔ The Laws of Power – How rulers impose their will and eliminate opposition. 
    ✔ The Art of Strategy – Why battles are won before they are fought. 
    ✔ The Psychology of a Ruler – How to think beyond morality and hesitation. 
    ✔ The Mastery of Deception – Why perception is more powerful than reality. 
    ✔ The Will to Power – How to overcome fear, doubt, and self-imposed limitations. 
    Power does not wait for the patient, nor does it reward those who seek validation. It belongs to those who demand it. If you are ready to break free from the illusions of the weak and forge your own destiny, this book will show you the way. 
    "There is no universal law—only the law of those strong enough to impose it."

    An exuberant, incisive look at how Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater transformed a culture 
     
    Going from a hobby toy for surfers to an Olympic sport, skateboarding has had a tumultuous history. Today, professional skateboarders land endorsement deals with Nike and Adidas, while popular television series like HBO’s Betty tell the stories of diverse crews of skaters living in New York City. So how did a fledgling subculture rise from its near-death knell in the ’90s to become ubiquitous today? It was simply a matter of finding the right messenger. 
     
    In 1999, the bestselling video game Tony Hawk’sPro Skater was released, and a new generation was exposed to skateboarding culture right in their very own homes. Kids and adults alike could now spend hours playing as actual skateboarders, learning the vernacular, listening to the music skateboarders loved, and having fun onscreen before trying to skate IRL in the driveway. 
     
    Right, Down + Circle explores how a video game starring the most famous pro skater in the world brought skateboarding culture ― and its ever-shifting markers of music, subversion, and coolness ― to the masses and ultimately transformed the culture it borrowed from in the process.
