Sinopse

In 'The Boy's Froissart,' Jean Froissart presents a vivid and engaging retelling of his famed 'Chronicles,' focusing on the stirring events of the Hundred Years' War and the articulations of chivalric culture in 14th-century Europe. This adaptation employs a clear, accessible literary style, making the complexities of medieval history digestible for younger readers while preserving the captivating narratives and rich descriptions that characterize Froissart's original text. The historical context is meticulously maintained, with an emphasis on the social dynamics of knighthood, warfare, and the impact of conflict on everyday life across the realms of England and France. Jean Froissart was a chronicler, poet, and a prominent figure in medieval historiography, whose travels and connections to the courts of England and the Continent inspired much of his work. Growing up in the tumultuous environment of the Hundred Years' War, Froissart's passion for tales of noble exploits and his desire to document his era is evident in this adapted text, achieving a balance between historical authenticity and literary flair suitable for a younger audience. 'The Boy's Froissart' is highly recommended for educators and parents seeking to instill an appreciation for history in children. It serves as an excellent bridge for young readers to explore the medieval world, fostering both imagination and understanding, while introducing them to one of the most influential chronicles of the Middle Ages.

    Bad Company - Private Equity and...

    A timely work of singular reportage and a damning indictment of the private equity industry told through the stories of four American workers whose lives and communities were upended by the ruinous effects of private equity takeovers. 
    Private equity runs our country, yet few Americans have any idea how ingrained it is in their lives. Private equity controls our hospitals, daycare centers, supermarket chains, voting machine manufacturers, local newspapers, nursing home operators, fertility clinics, and prisons. The industry even manages highways, municipal water systems, fire departments, emergency medical services, and owns a growing swath of commercial and residential real estate. 
    Private equity executives, meanwhile, are not only among the wealthiest people in American society, but have grown to become modern-day barons with outsized influence on our politics and legislation. CEOs of firms like Blackstone, Carlyle, KKR, and Apollo are rewarded with seats in the Senate and on the boards of the country’s most august institutions; meanwhile, entire communities are hollowed out as a result of their buyouts. Workers lose their jobs. Communities lose their institutions. Only private equity wins. 
    Acclaimed journalist Megan Greenwell’s Bad Company unearths the hidden story of private equity by examining the lives of four American workers that were devastated as private equity upended their employers and communities: a Toys R Us floor supervisor, a rural doctor, a local newspaper journalist, and an affordable housing organizer. Taken together, their individual experiences also pull back the curtain on a much larger project: how private equity reshaped the American economy to serve its own interests, creating a new class of billionaires while stripping ordinary people of their livelihoods, their health care, their homes, and their sense of security. 
    In the tradition of deeply human reportage like Matthew Desmond’s Evicted, Megan Greenwell pulls back the curtain on shadowy multibillion dollar private equity firms, telling a larger story about how private equity is reshaping the economy, disrupting communities, and hollowing out the very idea of the American dream itself. Timely and masterfully told, Bad Company is a forceful rebuke of America’s most consequential, yet least understood economic forces.

    Why do we search for balance in our lives? The answer is simple, and nearly all of us know it. Some of us simply don't want to accept the truth, while some of us want to find solutions for the imbalance in our lives. The importance of balance cannot be undermined, considering that it brings with its calmness, peace, happiness, and the strength to face any kind of diversity. With balance come increased productivity and efficiency and untold happiness and joy.  
    A balanced person is physically, emotionally, and mentally healthy and lives a meaningful and contented life, regardless of the challenges he or she faces. Feelings of imbalance include mental, emotional, and physical sickness, fear, unease, discomforts of all kinds, and suffering.  
    Signs of Mental Balance  
    The answers to the following questions will help you understand if you have mental balance and stability: 
    Do you see the world and yourself clearly without the truth being warped in mire and ambiguity? 
    Do you feel swept away by the veils that cover the truths of your life? 
    Do you attempt to see the truth as it is instead of trying to explain it away with some vague explanations just to make it agree with your perception?  
    Do you deliberately use your mind as a sense organ or something that you would simply brush as an appendage that comes in the way of your life?

    Fernando Vidal’s trailblazing text on the origins of psychology traces the development of the discipline from its appearance in the late sixteenth century to its redefinition at the end of the seventeenth and its emergence as an institutionalized field in the eighteenth. Originally published in 2011, The Sciences of the Soul continues to be of wide importance in the history and philosophy of psychology, the history of the human sciences more generally, and in the social and intellectual history of eighteenth-century Europe.
