Sinossi

The Collected Works of Jean-Jacques Rousseau is a comprehensive anthology encapsulating the revolutionary ideas of one of the Enlightenment's most influential thinkers. This volume features Rousseau's significant writings, including his treatises on natural human goodness, societal corruption, and the fundamental principles of political philosophy. Through a blend of autobiographical narrative, philosophical argumentation, and social critique, Rousseau employs a lyrical yet rigorous style that challenges conventional views of civilization. His reflections on education in "Emile, or On Education" and governance in "The Social Contract" illuminate the complex relationship between individuals and society, offering profound insights on freedom, equality, and the human condition. Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778) was born in Geneva, Switzerland, and experienced a tumultuous life that deeply influenced his writings. His formative years were marked by personal and societal struggles, including unstable family life and a rejection of established norms. As a key figure in the development of Romanticism and modern political theory, Rousseau's works reflect his belief in the innate goodness of humanity and the corrupting influence of society, driven by a desire for authenticity and truth amidst the constraints of his time. Rousseau's collected works are essential reading for anyone interested in philosophy, political science, or social theory. They invite readers to engage with questions of human nature and social justice, encouraging critical reflection on contemporary societal structures. This anthology not only showcases Rousseau's groundbreaking ideas but also serves as a crucial touchstone for understanding the trajectory of modern thought.

    'I was filled with apprehension about crossing the front line, but I would have risked my life to save just one child. Ivan was giving me a chance to save them all…' 
    This is the extraordinary work of Sally Becker, a humanitarian aid worker who for over three decades has risked it all in order to help the children of war. 
    Where Angels Fear to Tread is a reminder that – with determination, unrelenting passion and drive – one person can change the lives of so many. 
    In May 1993, Sally Becker went to Bosnia to help the innocent victims of war. She started by delivering humanitarian aid to the region, and was soon hailed as the 'Angel of Mostar' for rescuing wounded children and their families from the besieged city. Sally continued her work throughout the conflict and is credited with saving many lives. 
    When President Milosevic ordered his troops into Kosovo, her missions continued, this time on foot across the mountains. While attempting to bring sick and wounded children and their families to safety, she was captured by Serb paramilitaries, but neither this nor being shot by masked gunmen in Northern Albania could make her abandon her task. 
    Bosnia was Sally's first mission and the beginning of her lifelong commitment to help rescue children caught up in some of the most horrific wars around the world, including missions to help children in Iraq, Ukraine and most recently Gaza. 
    Her account provides a rare and invaluable insight into the complexities of international aid work, the shocking reality of life on the front lines and the desperate race to save innocent children trapped in war zones. 
    This is her extraordinary story. 
    Sally Becker's autobiography, a compelling narrative of her life in the service of others, is set to be the latest bestseller in non-fiction. Her memoirs, steeped in tales of charity and social welfare, underscore the power of individual action amidst the often sluggish responses of government institutions.

    In How We See Us, Michaela Leslie-Rule amplifies the voices of young people approaching adulthood as they consider their experiences, needs, and goals for their education, early careers, and lives. Leslie-Rule encourages adults who support young people to listen more closely to youth voices so that their perspectives are centered in interventions made on their behalf. 
     
     
     
    Based on in-depth interviews, surveys, and focus groups of nearly 4,000 students from Black and Hispanic communities and low-income households in both urban and rural regions across the United States, the book finds thoughtful self-reflection and an optimistic mindset in the stories of the youths' successes and challenges. The rich accounts of how they experience their identities, communities, education, and employment refute dominant narratives that so often frame their abilities in terms of deficits and that suggest that young people, and students of color especially, live in a perpetual state of crisis. 
     
     
     
    Leslie-Rule advocates for listening more deeply to young people and provides a framework to improve practice. Such consideration, she argues, enables educators, policymakers, and researchers to better address the barriers students experience in building and navigating pathways to education, career, and adulthood.
