    The Essential Fromm - Life...

    Erich Fromm

    Essays on human alienation, mode of existence, consumerism, narcissism, and more from "both a psychologist of penetration and a writer of ability" (Chicago Tribune). 
 
 
 
As Erich Fromm points out, ours is "a life between having and being"—between mere having and healthy being, between destructiveness and creativity, between narcissism and productive self-understanding, between passivity and the joy of positive activity. 
 
 
 
The alternatives of having and being are basic orientations of our character and determine our behavior. The mostly unpublished and unknown texts featured in The Essential Fromm encapsulate the psychologist's views on the fulfilling life. To put down roots yet remain free is what the late Erich Fromm called the art of being. It is the secret of happiness.

    Dynastic Legacy explores the far-reaching influence of three of China’s most remarkable dynasties—the Song, Ming, and Qing—each of which played a pivotal role in shaping Chinese society, governance, innovation, and culture. From the artistic brilliance and technological advances of the Song, to the maritime exploration and architectural wonders of the Ming, to the imperial dominance and eventual collapse of the Qing, this book offers a comprehensive look at how dynastic leadership shaped the trajectory of Chinese history. 
The Song Dynasty is renowned for ushering in an age of innovation, commerce, and cultural richness. It laid the foundation for modern banking, expanded printing technology, and saw a flourishing of Confucian philosophy and visual arts. The Ming Dynasty, famous for the Forbidden City and the voyages of Zheng He, emphasized stability, infrastructure, and defense—leaving a powerful legacy of order and cultural refinement. The Qing Dynasty, the last imperial dynasty, extended China’s borders to their greatest historical extent and governed through a complex yet effective administrative system—before internal decay and foreign pressure brought about its end. 
With detailed accounts of key emperors, political shifts, societal structures, and enduring cultural contributions, Dynastic Legacy paints a vivid portrait of the challenges and triumphs that defined imperial rule. This volume offers readers an engaging and educational journey through the dynasties that shaped modern China, highlighting both the brilliance and the burdens of centralized power.

    All These Things Added - Finding...

    Are you searching for something more—a lasting peace and a purpose that the world cannot provide? In this profound and practical sequel to his classic, As a Man Thinketh, James Allen reveals the path to discovering the riches that lie within your own soul. 
James Allen was a pioneer of the self-help movement, whose short but impactful life remains as instructive as his prose. Born in Leicester, England, in 1864, his world was shattered at age fifteen when his father, a businessman, was murdered in New York before dying. This tragedy forced Allen to leave school and work a series of jobs to support his family.  
In 1903, he published As a Man Thinketh, a compact, powerful book that would become a cornerstone of New Thought philosophy and inspire millions worldwide. Its central premise—that the mind is the master-weaver of both inner character and outer circumstance—was revolutionary in its simplicity. 
Seeking a quiet life to match his teachings, Allen and his family moved to the small coastal town of Ilfracombe. He rose at dawn daily to write and meditate in his garden, living the principles of mental discipline and spiritual serenity he espoused. 
All These Things Added is not merely a book to be read; it is a map for the supreme spiritual journey. Written during the serene, contemplative years of Allen's own life, it reflects his mature philosophy, guiding you to gently dismantle the illusions of lack and fear to discover the one place where true freedom resides: the Kingdom of your own perfected self. 
Through eloquent prose that speaks directly to the heart, you will learn to relinquish the burdens of selfish desire, cultivate a mind rooted in purity and love, and move from a life of struggle to one of divine ease. This is the core of Allen's enduring legacy: a call to stop seeking outwardly for what can only be found within. Your journey to the added life—a life of righteousness, serenity, and soulful triumph—begins with a single, inward step.

    Temporalities of Modernism gathers fourteen scholars whose contributions readdress the very tenets of modernism by approaching its multifaceted relationship with time in a series of fresh and original essays. The contemporary energies behind the collection are rooted in the turbulence of the modernist age: relativity, irreversibility, duration, fragmentation, contingency, and the looming threat of the apocalyptic future. The collection includes geographical areas often neglected by the habitual reduction of modernist studies to English-speaking literary high modernism, or to the concentration of famous figures in the traditional capital of modernism—Paris. Thus it offers detailed presentations of Italian pre-WWI modernism, Czech Dadaism, or of Polish, Romanian, and Hungarian writers and artists. The borders also open in terms of genres and mediums, as the contributions are not limited to fiction, but examine the multi-faceted productions of modernist artists: poetry, theatre, painting, music, cinema, photography, etc. In addition, the limits are temporally stretched out as some contributions focus on more recent writers (such as Sylvia Plath) and their reactivation of modernist discoveries.
