Education as Service - Enriched edition

J. Krishnamurti

Beschreibung

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.

A Horse at Night - On Writing

Amina Cain

Amina Cain's unique wandering sensibility, her attention to the small and the surprising, finds a profound new expression in her first nonfiction book, a sustained meditation on writers and their work. Driven by primary questions of authenticity and freedom in the shadow of ecological and social collapse, Cain moves associatively through a personal canon of authors—including Marguerite Duras, Elena Ferrante, Renee Gladman, and Virginia Woolf—and topics as timely and various as female friendships, zazen meditation, neighborhood coyotes, landscape painting, book titles, and the politics of excess. A Horse at Night: On Writing is an intimate reckoning with the contemporary moment, and a quietly brilliant contribution to the lineage of Woolf's A Room of One's Own or Gass's On Being Blue, books that are virtuosic arguments for—and beautiful demonstrations of—the essential unity of writing and life.

The Art of Brevity - Crafting...

Grant Faulkner, Megan Giddings

With increased compression, every word, every sentence matters more. A writer must learn how to form narratives around caesuras and crevices instead of strings of connections, to move a story through the symbolic weight of images, to master the power of suggestion. 
 
 
 
With elegant prose, deep readings of other writers, and scaffolded writing exercises, The Art of Brevity takes the listener on a lyrical exploration of compact storytelling, guiding listeners to heighten their awareness of not only what appears on the page but also what doesn't.

Thoreau's God

Richard Higgins

Thoreau? I know him! Well, I know the name. I’m sure I know who he is… don’t I? The nature guy, right? 
Henry David Thoreau’s spiritual life is a riddle. Thoreau’s passionate critique of formal religion is matched only by his rapturous descriptions of encounters with the divine in nature. He fled the church only to pursue a deeper communion with a presence he felt at the heart of the universe. He called this illimitable presence many names, but he often called it God. 
In Thoreau’s God, Richard Higgins invites seekers — religious or otherwise — to walk with the great Transcendentalist through a series of meditations on his spiritual life. Thoreau offers us no creed, but his writings encourage reflection on how to live, what to notice, and what to love. Though his quest was deeply personal, Thoreau devoted his life to communicating his experience of an infinite, wild, life-giving God. By recovering this vital thread in Thoreau’s life and work, Thoreau’s God opens the door to a new understanding of an original voice in American religion that speaks to spiritual seekers today.

Alternative History of Britain...

Timothy Venning

Taking a similar approach to his successful If Rome Hadn't Fallen, Timothy Venning explores the various decision points in a fascinating period of British history and the alternative paths that it might have taken. 
 
 
 
Dr. Timothy Venning starts within an outline of the process by which much of Britain came to be settled by Germanic tribes after the end of Roman rule, as far as it can be determined from the sparse and fragmentary sources. He then moves on to discuss a series of scenarios, which might have altered the course of subsequent history dramatically. For example, was a reconquest by the native British ever a possibility (under 'Arthur' or someone else)? Which of the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms might have united England sooner and would this have kept the Danes out? And, of course, what if Harold Godwinson had won at Hastings? 
 
 
 
While necessarily speculative, all the scenarios are discussed within the framework of a deep understanding of the major driving forces, tensions and trends that shaped British history and help to shed light upon them. In so doing they help the listener to understand why things panned out as they did, as well as what might have been.
