Emile

Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Sinopse

First published in 1762, "Emile" (AKA "On Education") is a treatise by Jean-Jacques Rousseau on the nature of education as well as the nature of man. 

Rousseau considered this book to be the best and most important of anything he had written. "Emile" was banned in Paris and Geneva, and publicly burned in the year of its release. This was due to a particular section of the book called, “Profession of Faith of the Savoyard Vicar.” During this rather well-received chapter, Rousseau insists that God and religion should be discovered freely, and should not be preached to small children. This infuriated the eighteenth-century church and clergymen, who considered and questioning or critique of their religion as a direct threat. The irony of this is that Rousseau famously considered himself a devout Christian for his entire life, unlike so many of his fellow contemporary philosophers, many of whom were secular or even atheists. "Emile," however, became the inspiration for what eventually became a new national education system during the French Revolution.

The Spirit of Getting Organized...

Pamela Kristan

Discover how transforming your space can also transform your soul, with this unique guide from a longtime professional organizer.   Most people think getting organized is simply about sorting papers or using file folders. But after years in the field of professional organizing, Pamela Kristan has learned that organizing is a doorway, an opportunity to find personal power and meaning.   Organizing is an intimate encounter with life’s everyday details that has the power to engage us profoundly with our soul, with our world, and even with the grand patterns of Nature. Rather than being a mundane chore that pulls us away from spiritual work, organizing can draw us into the cosmos.  The Spirit of Getting Organized is a different kind of guide—helping us develop order both internally and externally, and revealing how you can transform a dreadful chore like cleaning out your closet into an opportunity for an intimate encounter with your true self.

Fish & Chips - The Modern...

Adam Ward

Fish n' Chips is a guide to English culture and behaviour. It sets out to provide readers with the tools and information they need to understand ‘Englishness’ and successfully navigate the complex social landscape. For many people who are not of English origin, trying to understand or fit in to the English way of life can be tedious, if not downright frustrating. This is because many behavioural rules, despite being strictly adhered to, are unwritten and rarely documented. In fact, most English people follow these rules their entire lives without ever being consciously aware of them! Whether we’re conscious of them or not, these unofficial codes of conduct are what define English national identity and character. This audio book provides clear insights into how to identify which social group you are dealing with, which behavioural codes are likely to govern a particular situation and what you can do to feel more at home. Each chapter refers to a particular aspect of English behaviour, exposing the unwritten and unspoken rules that underpin it. Just as grammar rules allow people to create new sentences, a clear-cut guide to social rules allows people to interact comfortably and without confusion. Fish n’ Chips is the first step towards students of English abandoning doubts and hesitations about what can at first appear a cold and confusing society, and starting using these rules creatively and to their own advantage, just as the English themselves do. A ‘grammar’ of English behaviour becomes an invaluable resource for newcomers to England who want to do simple things like get a drink, meet new people and get ahead with colleagues and friends. Equally it is a fascinating source of insight for English people who want to know why they behave as they do.

The Coloring Book - A Comedian...

Colin Quinn

From former SNL "Weekend Update" host and legendary stand-up Colin Quinn comes a controversial and laugh-out-loud investigation into cultural and ethnic stereotypes.Colin Quinn has noticed a trend during his decades on the road-that Americans' increasing political correctness and sensitivity have forced us to tiptoe around the subjects of race and ethnicity altogether. Colin wants to know: What are we all so afraid of? Every ethnic group has differences, everyone brings something different to the table, and this diversity should be celebrated, not denied. So why has acknowledging these cultural differences become so taboo?   In THE COLORING BOOK, Colin, a native New Yorker, tackles this issue head-on while taking us on a trip through the insane melting pot of 1970s Brooklyn, the many, many dive bars of 1980s Manhattan, the comedy scene of the 1990s, and post-9/11 America. He mixes his incredibly candid and hilarious personal experiences with no-holds-barred observations to definitively decide, at least in his own mind, which stereotypes are funny, which stereotypes are based on truths, which have become totally distorted over time, and which are actually offensive to each group, and why.  As it pokes holes in the tapestry of fear that has overtaken discussions about race, THE COLORING BOOK serves as an antidote to our paralysis when it comes to laughing at ourselves . . . and others.
