Sinossi

In "Creative Evolution," Henri Bergson presents a revolutionary perspective on the nature of life and consciousness, positing that evolution is not merely a mechanistic process but a dynamic and creative force. Employing a rich, philosophical prose style, Bergson weaves intricate arguments that challenge the reductionist views of his contemporaries, drawing from insights in biology, metaphysics, and the philosophical implications of time. He introduces the concept of 'élan vital'—a vital impetus that propels life forward'—thereby infusing a sense of purpose and creativity in the evolutionary process, marking a significant departure from traditional Darwinism. Bergson, a French philosopher and Nobel laureate, was deeply influenced by the events of his time, including the rise of scientific rationalism and the existential questioning of human experience. His academic journey juxtaposed psychology, biology, and philosophy, allowing him to explore the intersection of these fields and ultimately shaping his unique philosophical outlook. "Creative Evolution" stands at the crossroads of 20th-century thought, positioning Bergson as a pivotal figure advocating for the understanding of life as a creative phenomenon. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the philosophical underpinnings of evolution, the nature of consciousness, and the interplay between science and spirituality. Readers will find both intellectual rigor and poetic insight in Bergson's exploration of life's complexity, making it an essential addition to the library of anyone curious about the deeper meanings behind existence.

    A timely and provocative account of the fall of New Labour, the rise of Corbyn, and what it means for the left in Britain. 
    ‘Lewis Goodall is one of the most exciting voices in British politics right now’ Emily Maitlis 
    ‘Hugely illuminating, thought-provoking and moving in its seriousness and optimism’ Lord Andrew Adonis 
    ESSENTIAL READING DURING LABOUR’S LEADERSHIP CAMPAIGN. 
    In the 21st Century the Labour Party has undergone the most extraordinary transformation in its history. After more than a decade of political dominance, the party lost two consecutive general elections and found its leadership usurped by the obscure far-left MP Jeremy Corbyn. As Britain voted to leave the EU, Labour seemed destined for long term irrelevance. 
    In Left for Dead? journalist Lewis Goodall tells the full story of this political journey with unprecedented access to all its key players, from Blair to Corbyn. Weaving together personal memoir, exclusive interviews, juicy gossip and incisive critique, he travels from the streets of his childhood in the shadow of the Birmingham Rover factory to the corridors of power in Westminster, tracing the journey of the party from the twilight of the ‘Third Way’ to the tumult of the financial crisis to the ravages of Brexit and Corbynism. 
    Because one thing is for certain – the traditional social democratic centre-left which we have known since the war is barely twitching in the road. But what has replaced it? Where has it come from? And what does it mean for the long-term future of the Labour Party? 
    In Left for Dead?, Goodall explores the ideologies at the top of the Labour Party, providing a best and worst case scenario for its future. His analysis is a must-read for anyone interested in the science of politics. 
    For fans of Jon Sopel (JS Memoir), James O'Brien (How They Broke Britain), Wes Streeting (One Boy, Two Bills and a Fry Up), and Chris Bryant (James and John).

    This book is for those navigating significant life transitions, those who are Crossing Between Worlds. This book is your guide.  
    These periods of change, often prompted by loss, crisis, or a desire for personal growth, can be unsettling. Yet this is an invitational season, waiting for you to become who you really are, to come fully alive.  
    Instead of forcing ideas that were not designed specifically for you, this book challenges conventional wisdom and examines 15 paradoxes to help you find your own unique path, depending on the specific season of your life. Crossing Between Worlds provides the much needed scaffolding to align your natural tendencies, nurture your unique gifts and allow yourself to move, and be moved, towards a new world so that you get to share this gift with others. 
    Drawing from his teaching and clinical experience, Daryl provides a personalisable roadmap filled with poignant anecdotes, practical wisdom, and persuasive strategies for navigating life’s seemingly contradictory forces (e.g., Should I focus on the present, or the future? Should I learn to say “Yes,” or “No”).

    We broke our new series on learning Norwegian down into different learning stages. Start with the "Lower Beginner" books followed by the "Beginner" and "Upper Beginner" books. Next, progress to the "Intermediate" series, then test and reinforce your knowledge with the "Conversations" series. 
    This audiobook is divided into units.While it provides different learning patterns and accommodates various needs, this audiobook focuses on helping you improve your ability to understand, speak, and memorise Norwegian.  
    In Unit 1 you will hear Norwegian decoded with each syllable spoken very slowly and clearly with repetition. Immediately before each sentence is spoken, you will hear the translation, so you will always understand what is being said. 
    Unit 2 focuses solely on increasing your listening ability, which will improve your abilities to engage in dialogue with a native Norwegian speaker. This chapter requires you to listen very carefully to nuances in the language. 
    By Unit 3 you will already notice progress in your abilities to speak and understand Norwegian. The spoken translation is followed by two repetitions in Norwegian at a completely natural speed. While you are learning to process naturally spoken Norwegian, Units 3 and 4 will help you memorise new vocabulary and full sentences. 
    In Unit 5 you can test yourself on how much you have learned. If you are having difficulties, we suggest you revisit the listening, speaking, or memorisation section of Units 1, 2 3 or 4, according to what you need more help with.
