  Soren Kierkegaard was a Danish theologian, philosopher, poet, social critic, and religious author who is widely considered to be the first existentialist philosopher.He wrote critical texts on organized religion, Christianity, morality, ethics, psychology, and the philosophy of religion, displaying a fondness for metaphor, irony, and parables. Much of his philosophical work deals with the issues of how one lives as a "single individual", giving priority to concrete human reality over abstract thinking and highlighting the importance of personal choice and commitment.He was against literary critics who defined idealist intellectuals and philosophers of his time, and thought that Swedenborg, Hegel, Fichte, Schelling, Schlegel, and Hans Christian Andersen were all "understood" far too quickly by "scholars".Contents:Fear and TremblingPhilosophical FragmentsSickness Unto Death

   In the early 1900's Dr. Maria Montessori began to reform educational methods with her work the 'Case dei Bambini' in Rome, Italy. Montessori began her work by developing methods to educate mentally retarded children, the method she developed was used with several children who at age eight took the state examinations in reading and writing, the children passed with above average scores. Because of this success (which is known as the 'first Montessori Miracle') Dr. Montessori was asked to open a school for children in Rome which she did. It was called the Case dei Bambini or “Children's House”. Now 101 years after the opening of the first Children's House we have recorded the first English translation of "The Montessori Method" by Maria Montessori. This book explains the Montessori Method of Education which supports “spontaneous self-development” of children and is used in the Case dei Bambini as well as many many Montessori Schools through out the world.

  Tracks - A Journey Through...

  Tracks: A Journey Through Metroland tells the story of Metroland and the development of suburbia that grew alongside the Metropolitan Railway. Originally the brainchild of eminent Victorians, the Metropolitan grew to become the queen of underground lines, eventually expanding to a point some fifty miles outside London. Author Kevin J. Last describes how the concept of Metroland was an aspiration for several levels of society, promising a better lifestyle well away from the deprivations of wartime. The idea that the working man could live comfortably outside the smoke in individually designed houses would mean that he could also thrive at work, largely due to the regular service offered by the new railway. This was quite exceptional in that, while nominally an underground line, most of the Met's route was above ground and, in length, went far beyond other similar lines, far out into the Buckinghamshire countryside. Not marked on any map, Metroland is as much a concept of the mind as a real place.

  This book bundle explores the core virtues that empower individuals to achieve self-mastery and lead lives of purpose, balance, and productivity. Through the cultivation of Self-Control, Temperance, and Diligence, we gain the strength to overcome obstacles, maintain focus, and accomplish our goals while maintaining integrity and balance. 
  Self-Control is the foundation of discipline. This section emphasizes the importance of managing impulses, emotions, and desires in order to make thoughtful and deliberate decisions. Through self-control, individuals are able to resist immediate temptations in favor of long-term goals, fostering patience, resilience, and emotional stability. This virtue enables us to stay aligned with our values and navigate life with purpose. 
  Temperance involves moderation and balance in all aspects of life. This part highlights the need for avoiding excess and cultivating a sense of balance. Whether it’s in our consumption, actions, or words, temperance teaches us to approach life with wisdom, avoiding extremes and instead embracing a mindful and moderate way of living. It’s the key to maintaining harmony in our personal and professional lives. 
  Diligence is the steadfast commitment to working hard and persisting in the face of challenges. This section underscores the importance of being dedicated, proactive, and persistent in achieving our goals. Diligence is not just about working hard; it's about maintaining focus, consistently putting in effort, and never losing sight of the value of persistence, even when the work is difficult or seemingly unimportant. 
  Together, these virtues create a powerful framework for cultivating personal discipline, ensuring we can achieve our potential and live a life of meaningful accomplishment. With self-control, moderation, and diligent effort, we can master our behaviors, improve our habits, and live in alignment with our highest aspirations.
