J. Krishnamurti

Casa editrice: DigiCat

Sinossi

In "Education as Service," J. Krishnamurti presents a transformative vision of education that emphasizes personal exploration and the nurturing of a compassionate awareness. This thought-provoking work critiques traditional educational paradigms, advocating instead for an approach that fosters creativity, critical thinking, and intrinsic motivation. Krishnamurti's literary style is both earnest and accessible, characterized by profound philosophical insights rendered in clear language. Set against the backdrop of post-war idealism, the book reflects a deep concern for humanity's potential, emphasizing education as a vital service to society rather than merely a means of vocational preparation. J. Krishnamurti, an influential philosopher and spiritual teacher, dedicated his life to exploring the complexities of human thought and consciousness. His early experiences, including his upbringing within the Theosophical Society, profoundly shaped his understanding of the role of education in individual development and societal transformation. Drawing upon his travels and dialogues with students and educators worldwide, Krishnamurti crafted an impassioned plea for an educational system that prioritizes the cultivation of a holistic and compassionate human being. "Education as Service" is an essential read for anyone involved in education, philosophy, or social reform. It challenges readers to reconsider the purpose of education and inspires a reimagining of its potential as a force for positive change. Krishnamurti's insights urge us to embrace education not just as a process of knowledge acquisition, but as a transformative journey of self-discovery and service to others.

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) - Basics...

Dean Stratton

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Written for curious beginners, students, clinicians-in-training, and informed patients, this guide explains the science and day-to-day realities of multiple sclerosis in clear, compassionate language. You’ll learn how an immune-mediated attack on myelin disrupts brain and spinal cord signaling; how typical presentations such as optic neuritis, sensory change, imbalance, and weakness are evaluated; and how diagnosis uses clinical history plus MRI evidence of dissemination in time and space, sometimes supported by cerebrospinal-fluid oligoclonal bands and the McDonald criteria. Understand current disease-modifying therapies (injectable, oral, and monoclonal), what they can and cannot do, and how acute relapses are treated (usually high-dose corticosteroids; plasma exchange when steroid-refractory). Equally, this book emphasizes rehabilitation, fatigue and mood management, heat sensitivity, cognition, exercise, nutrition, pregnancy planning, and shared decision-making. A vivid opening vignette follows “Aisha,” a young designer with sudden blurred vision, through referral, imaging, treatment choices, and building a relapse action plan—turning complex neurology into practical steps.

✓ Plain-English primers with clinician-level sidebars, flowcharts, and a jargon-free glossary.
✓ Case vignettes and “ask your neurologist” checklists mapped to every stage of care.
✓ MRI & lab walkthroughs: lesion patterns, dissemination rules, red flags, and pitfalls.
✓ Treatment landscape decoded: DMT classes, safety monitoring, vaccination timing.
✓ Daily-living playbook: fatigue pacing, mobility, cognition, work, travel, and heat.
✓ Practical tools: symptom tracker, flare diary, medication matrix, goal-setting sheets.

Marx's Nightmare - Is Capitalism...

Denis Collin

It's high time we realized that there is hardly a thinker who has more perceptively sketched the outlines of a future that is our present. Contrary to what is repeated by those who would like to refute Marx without having read him, the economic predictions deduced from the analyses in Capital have, for the most part, been validated. This book demonstrates this with rare clarity, tracing the history of capitalism over the last hundred years in the light of Marxian theses. The concentration and centralization of capital, the creation of a world market and a global division of labor, right up to the emergence of Chinese power, are all in Marx. Joint-stock companies, investment funds, hedge funds, the development of speculation not on actual profits, but on expectations of future profits, junk bonds—in short, all the ways in which capital seeks to overcome the barriers inherent in the capitalist relationship—are all set out in some detail in Capital.
Marx was right, for the worse. But capitalism keeps rising from its ashes. Revolution is a long time coming. Have we reached the end of history? Are rebellions nothing more than a flash in the pan on a joyless horizon? Are we condemned to watch the stock market yo-yo like helpless spectators? The author prefers not to resign himself to this. He shows how, by subjecting the entire planet to its law, by turning billions of Indians, Chinese and Africans into proletarians, by exploiting every possible field of accumulation, capitalism is preparing for the moment when the logic of surplus value will indeed collapse. In the meantime, this book examines a few avenues for a radical alternative.
