Synopsis

In "The Social Contract & Emile," Jean-Jacques Rousseau explores the intricate relationships between individuals and society, presenting a dual narrative on political philosophy and education. "The Social Contract" posits the radical idea that legitimate political authority rests on the collective will of the people, encapsulating Rousseau's belief in the fundamental principles of liberty and equality. Simultaneously, "Emile" serves as a comprehensive treatise on the development of the child into a virtuous citizen, emphasizing the importance of natural education and the cultivation of individual autonomy. Rousseau's lyrical prose reflects Enlightenment ideals, challenging the social norms of his time and influencing modern democratic thought and educational theories. Jean-Jacques Rousseau, a pivotal figure of the Enlightenment, experienced a tumultuous life marked by personal and societal strife, which fueled his distrust of contemporary institutions. From his humble beginnings in Geneva to his controversial philosophical insights, Rousseau's fervent advocacy for individual freedom and social reform reveals his deep-seated commitment to improving human coexistence. His works reflect his own struggles with societal expectations, making them a powerful commentary on human nature and governance. This authoritative compilation is vital for anyone seeking to understand the foundations of modern democratic and educational principles. Rousseau's ideas resonate today, encouraging readers to question established norms and actively engage in the construction of a more just society. "The Social Contract & Emile" is essential reading for scholars, educators, and anyone interested in the enduring dialogue between the individual and the collective.

    In April 1943, Commander Peter Gretton was in charge of escorting a vital Allied trade convoy from New York to Great Britain across the North Atlantic. Over the course of the voyage, the sixty-one merchant ships of convoy HX231, along with the six ships of B7 Escort Group, were continuously shadowed and attacked by a German wolf pack of twenty U-boats. 
     
     
     
    With the aid of air support, the convoy and defending escort fought valiantly across hundreds of miles of ocean and, despite poor weather conditions, managed to sink and severely damage several enemy submarines. Tragically six merchant ships were torpedoed and with no rescue vessel any survivors were left stranded in the freezing waters of the Atlantic as the convoy continued on its journey. 
     
     
     
    Drawing on reports from both sides, Gretton details the sequence of events as convoy HX231 battled its way through a large wolf pack and offers an authoritative post-battle analysis of the strategies, decisions, and actions taken that would ultimately see the tide of war turn in favor of victory for the Allies. 
     
     
     
    Crisis Convoy takes the listener to the heart of the action and is a thrilling account of naval warfare during World War II.

    In this fascinating, refreshingly clarifying book about food, food myths, and how sloppy science perpetuates misconceptions about food, a medical doctor on his way to a conference gets drawn into conversations that answer the following questions: Does vitamin C prevent the common cold? And if it works, why does it only work in Canadian soldiers, ultramarathon runners, and skiers? Was red meat really declared a carcinogen by the WHO? Does that mean I should become a vegetarian? And who decides what gets labeled as red meat and white meat? Is salt really not that bad for you and did a group of researchers really want to experiment on prisoners to prove the point? Does coffee cause cancer or heart attacks? Why did a California court say coffee needed a warning label? Is red wine really good for your heart, and what makes the French Paradox such a paradox? Why did the New England Journal of Medicine link eating chocolate with winning a Nobel Prize? Why were eggs once bad for you but now good for you again? Does that mean I don't need to worry about cholesterol? Should I be taking vitamin D?

It will empower its listeners with a greater understanding of the true potential, limitations, risks, and nuances to the process of using psychedelics to heal trauma. 
    With each passing year, new evidence of the immense healing potential psychedelics offer for anxiety, depression, addiction, PTSD, and more emerge from credible studies and research groups. As the excitement grows, so too does the often dangerous misinformation generated by profiteers and pseudo experts. A fierce protector of those who are utilizing psychedelics as a way to heal their emotional wounds and trauma, Shannon Duncan knows firsthand the courage, determination, and vulnerability required to approach emotional healing in this specialized way. 
    "Coming Full Circle comes at a time when many are considering trying psychedelics as a means to healing their trauma. This book gives an unflinching, realistic look at what treatment resistant trauma can look like and takes the reader on a journey of healing with a raw, painfully honest delivery. It’s a powerful tale of healing emotional wounds and trauma with the help of psychedelics.” 
    -Rick Doblin, PhD, (Founder and President of MAPS, Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies) 
    “When it comes to psychedelic experiences and the management of trauma, Shannon Duncan has walked the walk. What he shares in Coming Full Circle, the result of years of direct engagement at the heart of the mystery, is both deeply healing and richly informative. Highly recommended.” 
    - Graham Hancock, author of The Divine Spark and Fingerprints of the Gods.
