Sinopsis

George Grote's "History of Greece" (Volumes 1-12) is a monumental scholarly work that chronicles the political, cultural, and social evolution of Greece from its earliest days to the decline of classical civilization. Grote blends rigorous historical analysis with a narrative style that vividly reconstructs significant events and figures, imbuing the text with both scholarly precision and literary elegance. Addressing themes such as democracy, culture, and imperialism, Grote situates ancient Greek history within the broader scope of Western civilization, making his work not only a history of a nation but also a foundation for understanding the political ideologies that would shape modern democracies. Born into a prosperous family in England, Grote's exposure to the classics and philology shaped his intellectual pursuits. His extensive travels throughout Greece, coupled with his engagement in the Whig political movement, informed his belief in democracy and liberal thought, which resonate throughout his historical examination. His commitment to accessibility in scholarly works reflects his desire to democratize knowledge and place history within the grasp of the broader public. "History of Greece" is essential for scholars, students, and general readers alike, providing a comprehensive insight into the complexities of Greco-Roman culture and its enduring influence on contemporary society. Esteemed not only for its academic rigor but also for its compelling storytelling, Grote'Äôs history offers an indispensable lens through which to explore the foundations of modern civilization.

    Māori journalism in Aotearoa New Zealand has become a vibrant industry, reporting through
    print, radio, television and the internet. This book looks at the history of Māori journalism and the
    elements that make it what it is today. The \author examines the way that news values common in English-speaking countries are reinterpreted for a Māori worldview and analyses news stories to
    show how Māori perspectives are expressed. She also identifies how elements of whaikōrero have
    been refashioned for news and the ways tapu and noa are managed by news teams. A host of well-known reporters share their perspectives on their work. They describe how they got into reporting, and we learn what happens as they gather information and produce their stories. In particular, we see how these journalists balance the demands of journalism and tikanga.

    Written during a genocide, After Savagery reveals the ethical bankruptcy of "Western philosophy" and how it undergirds the erasure of the colonized. 
    The death toll in Gaza continues to rise―a cold, lifeless number representing entire communities crushed under the weight of settler colonialism.What remains of the theories we use to understand our world? With lyrical and lucid fury, Hamid Dabashi exposes the racist roots of Western philosophy, demanding that listeners overcome its pernicious phantom of relevance. Rather than perceiving "the West" as giving carte blanche to Israel, Dabashi insists that Israel must be understood as its quintessence.If Israel is the West and the West is Israel, then Palestine is the world and the world is Palestine. Holding to glimmers from revolutionary works of literature and film, Dabashi argues, in grief and love, that the wretched of the earth need poetry after barbarism—and that Palestine is the site of a liberated imagination.

    The Child Attachment Handbook

    Infants are born with a variety of intrinsic behaviors that help them survive. In times of need or suffering, the infant's attachment behavior allows them to bring others towards them. Infants that have experienced a solid attachment bond acquire a strong expectation of feeling protected and safe, allowing them to explore their surroundings with greater confidence. Our attachment instinct, shared by most mammals, is a fundamental adaptation for survival in infancy. When newborns are scared, anxious, feel ill, or are threatened, their attachment system is triggered. In this stage, infants will commence proximity-seeking behaviors such as weeping, clinging, or following with their eyes in babies, and more verbal or complex behaviors in older children toward their primary attachment figure (normally a parent or the main caregiver). The attachment method can be removed once proximity and reassurance have been reached. Seeking help and the various techniques an individual takes to get aid are the foundations of the attachment process.Based on repeated contact with significant others, the child develops a set of mental models of itself and others in social interactions in response to parenting behavior. These early attachment interactions are critical for subsequent social relationships, emotional and stress regulation capacities, self-control, mentalization, and emotional maturity. As a result, a child who forms insecure or disorganized relationships, maybe due to mistreatment or placement in several foster care homes, is more likely to suffer in these areas and exhibit emotional and behavioral challenges.
