Summary

In "The Mind in the Making: The Relation of Intelligence to Social Reform," James Harvey Robinson presents a compelling exploration of the intersection between cognitive development and societal progress. Written at the dawn of the 20th century, the text is characterized by its incisive prose, reflecting the period's burgeoning interest in psychology, sociology, and educational reform. Robinson adeptly navigates through historical and contemporary contexts, elucidating how the evolution of human thought can directly influence social change. By advocating for a reevaluation of educational practices and a critical analysis of societal norms, Robinson's work is as pertinent today as it was when first published, urging readers to consider how intelligence can actively shape and improve the world around them. James Harvey Robinson was a prominent historian, philosopher, and educator whose intellectual pursuits often revolved around the dynamics of social change and the evolution of human thought. His engagement with progressive educational theories and critical historical analysis paved the way for this book, as Robinson sought to dismantle archaic views and propose a transformative approach to understanding human intelligence and its capabilities. His background in history and philosophy provided him with a unique lens through which he examined the collective human experience. Robinson's insightful discourse challenges readers to reconsider established paradigms, making "The Mind in the Making" a must-read for those interested in the role of intelligence in catalyzing social reform. By encouraging a culture of critical thought and open-mindedness, this work invites readers to apply its principles to contemporary issues, ultimately fostering a more informed and dynamic society.

    Three philosophical works by the seventeenth-century Enlightenment thinker and author of Ethics.How to Improve Your MindIn this earlier work, Dutch philosopher Baruch Spinoza articulates his view that life is best lived with the supreme happiness of knowing God’s infinite love. By extension, all earthly pursuits—including money, fame, and sex—are mere distractions from the greater joy of the soul’s quietude.Translated by the philosopher and founder of the Philosophical Library, Dagobert D. Runes. Runes also provides exclusive commentary and biographical notes.The Road to Inner FreedomSpinoza views the ability to experience rational love of God as the key to mastering the contradictory and violent human emotions.The Book of GodThe Book of God, one of Spinzoa’s earliest works, came to light only a hundred years ago in two slightly varying Dutch manuscripts. Its youthful author lived in turbulent times, when the Western world was torn by civil and religious strife, and bullies, bigots and pseudo-prophets vied for the ear of a fearful people. While Europe was in an uproar over the right church, Spinoza was seeking the right God. This book is the first known report of his findings. Translated by Dr. A. Wolf from the Dutch [the author’s Tractatus de Deo et homine version] and edited and with an introduction by Dagobert D. Runes.

    Under the Nazis, conventional science and a range of fringes sciences were legitimate areas for research and development. Unorthodox ideas and projects that were too outrageous for other governments received funding. During the last six months of the war, it seemed obvious the Germans had been crushingly defeated, but in spite of the military situation, Hitler continued to believe that victory would be achieved. He repeatedly told his advisors and inner circle that Germany possessed Wunderwaffen - miracle weapons - that would turn the tide and give the Germans victory.

    As the first Black woman to anchor the Boston-area evening news, Liz Walker found herself in an industry that defined the neighborhood of Roxbury largely by violence. But when she became a pastor there, Walker grew close to households marked not only by trauma but by courage—including the family of Cory Johnson, a young father who was murdered. In the wake of their worst nightmare, the family reached out for help. 
 
 
 
As Walker's congregation invited neighbors to gather, they created soft spaces for others' grief to land. There, in the stories told, the meals shared, the tears shed, and the silences kept, people found a space to receive their sorrow. Out of this ministry grew a grassroots trauma-healing program, one now being replicated across the country. 
 
 
 
Through this groundbreaking book, begin to imagine what story-sharing groups might look like in your context. Face the disparity of grief that comes from racism and systemic inequality, and learn to confront legacies of harm. Discover the healing power of listening, as well as the art and skills of accompanying someone in pain. Further, grasp how caregivers, pastors, counselors, and other healers—many with their own wounds—can benefit from soft spaces too.

    Power does not belong to the righteous—it belongs to those ruthless enough to take it. 
From the ancient empires to modern political regimes, history has been shaped not by the moral, but by the manipulative. The Tyrant's Handbook: How to Rule, Deceive, and Dominate is a cold, strategic manual that dissects the psychology of control, the art of deception, and the brutal truths of leadership. 
This book explores the unspoken laws of power—how rulers condition obedience, manipulate perception, use fear and loyalty as weapons, and ensure their dominance remains unchallenged. It exposes the tactics used by tyrants, corporate leaders, and political masterminds to bend reality to their will, from rewriting history to manufacturing crises to justify greater control. 
Inside, you will learn: 
✔ The Psychology of Control – How to make people obey without force. 
✔ The Laws of Manipulation – Why perception is stronger than truth. 
✔ The Art of Deception – How lies and distractions keep rulers in power.

✔ Eliminating Opposition – The tactics for removing threats before they rise. 
✔ The Theater of Rule – How politics, propaganda, and spectacle shape power.
