Summary

In "Thoughts of Marcus Aurelius," the Roman Emperor presents a profound collection of personal reflections known as the "Meditations." Crafted in a straightforward yet eloquent style, these writings embody the core tenets of Stoicism, emphasizing rationality, virtue, and inner peace amidst the turmoil of life. Written primarily during military campaigns, the context of these entries reveals the philosophical underpinnings that guided one of history's most renowned leaders, as he sought to find solace and strength in the face of adversity. Each passage is a testament to the enduring human spirit, reflecting both personal struggles and universal truths, woven into the fabric of his daily existence. Marcus Aurelius, a Stoic philosopher and the last of the Five Good Emperors, wrote these meditative reflections as a form of self-examination and moral guidance. His experiences as a ruler, coupled with the philosophical education he received from prominent thinkers, deeply influenced his thoughts. In an era marked by conflict and philosophical inquiry, Aurelius's writings emerge as a beacon of personal responsibility and resilience, providing insights not only applicable to his time but also to future generations. "Thoughts of Marcus Aurelius" is a timeless invitation to cultivate mindfulness and virtue in our own lives. Readers seeking wisdom will find that these meditations resonate across centuries, offering practical advice that underlines the importance of self-discipline and emotional resilience. Engaging with Aurelius's perspectives can inspire individuals to embrace their challenges with stoic resolve, making it a vital addition to any philosophical library.

    In Teach for Climate Justice, accomplished educator and social and emotional learning expert Tom Roderick proposes a visionary interdisciplinary and intersectional approach to PreK–12 climate education. He argues that meaningful instruction on this urgent issue of our time must focus on climate justice—the convergence of climate change and social justice—in a way that is emotionally safe, developmentally appropriate, and ultimately empowering. 
 
 
  
Drawing on examples of real-life educators teaching climate change, Roderick identifies eight key dimensions of climate education that will prepare students to face the challenges of the climate crisis and give them the means to take action. These dimensions include not only educating for a deep understanding of the scientific, geopolitical, and socioeconomic equity issues that surround global warming, but also cultivating appreciation for the environment, building a supportive community, and fostering active hope for the future. In support of this crucial endeavor, Roderick suggests evidence-based teaching strategies, practices that promote inclusivity, and tools for social and emotional learning. 
 
 
  
This timely and uplifting book lays out a powerful vision for teaching, learning, and curriculum development to nurture a generation of courageous, informed advocates for climate justice.
