The Greatest Works of Jane Addams - A Visionary's Call to Social Justice and Equality

Jane Addams

Sinopse

In "The Greatest Works of Jane Addams," readers are invited into the profound insights of one of the foremost social reformers of the early 20th century. This comprehensive compilation showcases Addams's pivotal contributions to social ethics, peace activism, and the foundation of settlement houses, reflecting her commitment to addressing the pressing inequalities of her time. Written in a clear and accessible style, these selections elucidate Addams's innovative blending of personal narrative and sociopolitical analysis, grounded in her experiences as a community organizer in Chicago'Äôs Hull House. The literary context of the Progressive Era is palpable throughout her works, as she engages with contemporary issues in feminism, pacifism, and democracy while championing the voices of the marginalized. Jane Addams, a trailblazer and the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize in 1931, drew upon her extensive background in sociology and philosophy to articulate her vision for a more equitable society. Her dedication to social reform was shaped by her encounters with poverty and injustice, which profoundly influenced her understanding of civic responsibility and human interconnectedness. As an intellectual leader, she was deeply engaged in issues such as labor rights and immigration, rendering her writings as both prescient and urgently relevant. This collection is essential reading for anyone interested in social justice, American history, or feminist theory. Addams'Äôs works resonate today, illuminating the pathways toward activism and ethical leadership. By exploring her greatest contributions, readers will not only gain insight into the historical context of her time but also be inspired to reflect on the enduring challenges facing society.

Revolution: The Rise of Arteta’s...

Charles Watts

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
The inside story of Mikel Arteta’s astonishing transformation of Arsenal
November 2019. Unai Emery’s final game as Arsenal manager sees the Gunners languishing eighth in the league. Appointed in the dying embers of the Wenger years, Emery’s 18 months as Arsenal boss has seen the team and the club go backwards – playing unimaginative, pragmatic football, and recently losing to London rivals Chelsea in the final of the Europa League. Something had to change; a fresh head with fresh ideas. A new leader.
This is the story of how Mikel Arteta turned Arsenal into one of the most exciting, innovative and feared teams in the league. From cutting his teeth as an assistant under Pep Guardiola before joining Arsenal in the winter of 2019, through to title contenders years later – including bust-ups, Covid, disappointments, FA Cup wins, fan revolt, and eventually the rise of an extraordinary young team standing on the edge of greatness – this book will be the first of its kind to explore the workings of Arteta’s philosophy and how he transformed the club from outsiders to title challengers.
With chapters on his tactical innovations, in-game strategies, transfer insight and, of course, an account of the memorable 2022-23 season – Revolution is the story of an extraordinary football ascent and the first draft of Arsenal’s new history.
The latest bestseller, Revolution, is a non-fiction masterpiece that chronicles the rise of Arsenal in the 21st century under the leadership of Mikel Arteta. It provides an in-depth look into the economics and management strategies employed, making it a must-read for fans and business enthusiasts alike.
For fans of Ray Walker (The Ultimate Los Angeles Rams Trivia Book), Joshua Robinson (Messi vs. Ronaldo), David Dein (Calling the Shots), Jon Spurling (Get It On), and Ian Wright (A Life in Football).

Parmenides - A Complex...

Plato, Tim Zengerink

What if the nature of reality is built on contradictions? 
In Parmenides, Plato presents a dialogue unlike any other—one that turns philosophy inward to critique its own foundations. Through a dramatic meeting between Socrates and Parmenides, we’re led into the depths of metaphysical inquiry. Is the theory of Forms coherent? Can one truly speak of “being” without paradox? 
This modern adaptation brings clarity to Plato’s dense logic and rigorous questioning, allowing listeners to immerse themselves in one of philosophy’s greatest challenges. 
What you’ll discover inside: 
•	A sharp critique of the theory of Forms by the philosopher who first developed it 
•	A journey through eight logical hypotheses that test the meaning of unity and being 
•	The philosophical origins of metaphysics and dialectical reasoning 
•	A clear, modernized translation that makes complex thought more accessible 
Begin your journey into the heart of ancient metaphysical philosophy today with Parmenides—Plato’s boldest and most enigmatic dialogue.
