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.

    Natural healing encompasses a broad range of therapies and practices aimed at promoting health and well-being by supporting the body's innate ability to heal itself. It follows a holistic approach, treating the whole person—body, mind, and spirit—rather than just focusing on symptoms. Emphasizing the importance of healthy living and preventive care, natural healing encourages a lifestyle that includes a balanced diet, regular exercise, effective stress management, and attention to environmental factors. 
      
    A core principle of natural healing is the belief in the body's self-healing ability. This involves supporting and stimulating natural processes through methods such as nutrition, herbal remedies, acupuncture, and homeopathy. Treatments are individualized, recognizing that each person responds differently to various therapies, and are often designed to be as minimally invasive as possible. Natural healing generally prefers natural treatments and avoids synthetic drugs and surgery unless absolutely necessary. 
      
    Patient empowerment is another key aspect, encouraging individuals to take an active role in their own health and healing process. The ultimate goal is to restore and maintain balance within the body and achieve harmony with the external environment. These principles guide many natural healing modalities, from traditional practices like Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine to modern approaches such as naturopathy and functional medicine.

    An ethnographic analysis of how insecurity is at the heart of contemporary higher education. 
     
    Institutions of higher education are often described as “ivory towers,” places of privilege where students exist in a “campus bubble,” insulated from the trials of the outside world. These metaphors reveal a widespread belief that college provides young people with stability and keeps insecurity at bay. But for many students, that’s simply not the case. 
     
    Degrees of Risk reveals how insecurity permeates every facet of college life for students at public universities. Sociologist Blake Silver dissects how these institutions play a direct role in perpetuating uncertainty, instability, individualism, and anxiety about the future. Silver examined interviews with more than one hundred students who described the risks that surrounded every decision: which major to choose, whether to take online classes, and how to find funding. He expertly identified the ways the college experience played out differently for students from different backgrounds. For students from financially secure families with knowledge of how college works, all the choices and flexibility of college felt like an adventure or a wealth of opportunities. But for many others, especially low-income, first-generation students, their personal and family circumstances meant that that flexibility felt like murkiness and precarity. In addition, he discovered that students managed insecurity in very different ways, intensifying inequality at the intersections of socioeconomic status, race, gender, and other sociodemographic dimensions. Drawing from these firsthand accounts, Degrees of Risk presents a model for a better university, one that fosters success and confidence for a diverse range of students.

    Empire of Laws An - Legal...

    For many years, Britain tried to impose its own laws on the peoples it conquered, and English common law usually followed the Union Jack. But the common law became less common after Britain emerged from the Seven Years' War as the world's most powerful empire. At that point, imperial policymakers adopted a strategy of legal pluralism: some colonies remained under English law, while others retained much of their previous legal regimes. 
     
     
      
    As legal historian Christian R. Burset argues, determining how much English law a colony received depended on what kind of colony Britain wanted to create. Policymakers thought English law could turn any territory into an anglicized, commercial colony; legal pluralism, in contrast, would ensure a colony's economic and political subordination. Britain's turn to legal pluralism thus reflected the victory of a new vision of empire—authoritarian, extractive, and tolerant—over more assimilationist and egalitarian alternatives. Among other implications, this helps explain American colonists' reverence for the common law: it expressed and preserved their equal status in the empire. This book, the first empire-wide overview of law as an instrument of policy in the eighteenth-century British Empire, offers an imaginative rethinking of the relationship between tolerance and empire.

    STUDIO GHIBLI 
    THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION 
      
    CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB 
      
    Studio Ghibli, founded in 1985 by Hayao Miyazaki, Isao Takahata, and Toshio Suzuki, is a renowned Japanese animation studio known for its hand-drawn films with rich watercolor and acrylic paints. The studio's films often explore themes like environmentalism, the tension between progress and tradition, and the lives of young people. Joe Hisaishi composes much of the music, using storyboards from Miyazaki to create unique soundtracks that blend elements from Baroque, jazz, and modal music. The studio has a strict "no-edits" policy for international releases, and has worked with various distributors over the years including Disney, GKIDS, and Netflix for global distribution of their films. 
      
    CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES: 
      
    Studio Ghibli was founded on June 15, 1985, by Hayao Miyazaki, Isao Takahata, and Toshio Suzuki after they acquired the assets of Topcraft. The studio's name, "Ghibli," was inspired by an Italian word for a hot desert wind, which was also the nickname of an Italian scouting plane, chosen by Miyazaki because he was a fan of aircraft, and to represent the studio blowing a new wind through the anime industry.  
      
    The studio's mascot, Totoro, is a giant spirit inspired by raccoon dogs and cats. Totoro is from the 1988 film My Neighbor Totoro and is one of the studio's most recognizable symbols.  
      
    Four of Studio Ghibli's films are among the ten highest-grossing Japanese feature films. Spirited Away is third, with a gross of 31.68 billion yen in Japan and over US$380 million worldwide.
