Synopsis

Journey into the Philippine-American experience in Washington, DC. Washington is famed for its place in the history of the United States, but few know its close connections with the Philippines. Trace the intertwined histories of the two countries along the streets of Washington, from the end of the Spanish American War in 1898 through Philippine independence in 1946, and the many years since. West Potomac Park was inspired by Manila's Luneta, and District streets are named after pivotal Philippine battle grounds. These landmarks are often unmentioned in guidebooks. Hidden in plain sight are the stories of the fascinating figures that once inhabited these spaces. Professor and community historian Erwin Tiongson offers a first account of the city's Philippine heritage.

    'Oh yes, he seemed to say, Death is stronger than I am.'
    
    A deeply reflective and profound collection of essays meditating on the beauty, fragility and fleeting nature of life, from one of the most pioneering modernist voices in literary history: Virginia Woolf.
    
    First published in 1942 after Woolf's death, The Death of the Moth and Other Essays effortlessly blends candid personal reflection, social critique and literary analysis. Across the collection, Woolf explores everything from life, death, the creative process, politics, nature and the role of women in contemporary society, always told with her characteristic lyrical style and sharp intellect. The title essay, 'The Death of the Moth', written in the midst of Woolf's own depression, utilises the image of a moth's final moments as a powerful metaphor for the fleeting nature of life. The result is a profoundly moving and exquisitely written exploration to the meaning of life as we know it. This audiobook edition is skilfully read by Georgia Maguire.
    Virginia Woolf (1882 – 1941) was one of the most significant novelists of the twentieth century. A modernist writer and progressive thinker, she is known for her stream of consciousness narrative style and influence on feminist criticism. Her works have been translated into over fifty languages and are widely read and adapted to this day.

    "Emile, or On Education" is a novel written by Jean-Jacques Rousseau and published in 1762. The book is a treatise on education and focuses on the development of a single individual, Emile, from infancy to adulthood. 
    Rousseau's novel is notable for its emphasis on natural education, or the idea that children should be allowed to learn through their own experiences and interactions with the world around them. The book is divided into five sections, each of which focuses on a different stage of Emile's life and the corresponding education he should receive. 
    In the first section, Rousseau argues that children should be allowed to develop naturally and that their education should be based on their own interests and abilities. He also emphasizes the importance of physical education and the need for children to learn through play. 
    In the second section, Rousseau discusses the importance of developing Emile's sense of morality and character, emphasizing the need for him to learn to be honest, courageous, and independent. 
    The third section focuses on Emile's intellectual education, including the importance of developing his reasoning abilities and critical thinking skills. 
    In the fourth section, Rousseau discusses Emile's social education, including his interactions with other people and the importance of developing his empathy and understanding of others. 
    Finally, in the fifth section, Rousseau discusses the importance of Emile's religious education and the role that religion should play in his life. 
    Overall, "Emile, or On Education" is a significant work in the history of educational philosophy, and it continues to be studied and debated by scholars and educators today.
