Sinopse

In "The Anti-Slavery Crusade: A Chronicle of the Gathering Storm," Jesse Macy offers a comprehensive examination of the moral and political upheavals leading to the American Civil War, intricately weaving historical narratives with a vivid literary style. Macy's work illuminates the fervent debates over slavery, capturing the voices of abolitionists and their adversaries through a compelling chronicle that examines the cultural and social context of 19th-century America. The book serves not only as a historical record but also as an analysis of the moral questions that ignited a nation, blending meticulous research with a narrative flair that engages both scholars and general readers alike. As a prominent figure in the abolitionist movement himself, Macy was deeply influenced by his experiences in the socio-political landscape of his time. His firsthand engagement with the issues surrounding slavery in America provided him with unique insights that shape the discourse within the book. An advocate for social justice, Macy's commitment to the abolitionist cause permeates the text, as he seeks to inspire empathy and understanding among his readers. For those seeking to grasp the roots of America's contentious relationship with slavery, Macy's "The Anti-Slavery Crusade" is an invaluable resource. Its rich historical detail, combined with Macy's impassioned narrative, invites readers to reflect on the moral dilemmas of the past and their echoes in today's society. This work is essential for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of American history and the enduring struggle for human rights.

    What was your experience of art in school? Was it all doilies, cheap paint, and crusty brushes? Or was it better than that but you still wondered why it seemed to be the runt of the educational litter. In this humorous, engaging, and thought-provoking book, Anna Cutler, a leading figure in art education, takes you on a journey through her personal experiences and reflections on the value of art in schools. By the end you’ll come to realise that the stakes are surprisingly high for the social, emotional, and intellectual development of our children. It is an impassioned plea to nourish, within and beyond schools, the one resource that will never run out: the human capacity to create.
     
    “Engagingly informal and on a take-it-or-leave-it basis, this wise and witty book can be absorbed quite effortlessly in one sitting. It leaves you with the sense that you’ve enjoyed one-on-one tuition from the favourite teacher you never had.”  
     
    Dr Shane Kinghorn, Manchester Metropolitan University.
     
    “I learned a great deal reading this book and laughed in all the right places. It is a powerful, persuasive ‘Call to Arts’.”

    Sparta - Fall of a Warrior Nation

    This cultural history of Ancient Sparta chronicles the rise of its legendary military power and offers revealing insight into the people behind the myths. 
     
     
      
    The Spartans of ancient Greece are typically portrayed as macho heroes: noble, laconic, totally fearless. But life was not as simple as this image suggests. In truth, ancient Sparta was a city of contrasts. 
     
     
      
    We might admire their physical toughness, but Spartans also systematically abused their children. They gave rights to female citizens that were unmatched in Europe until the modern era, meanwhile subjecting their conquered subject peoples to a murderous reign of terror. Though idealized by the Athenian contemporaries of Socrates, Sparta was almost devoid of intellectual achievement. 
     
     
      
    In this revealing history of Spartan society, Philip Matyszak chronicles the rise of the city from a Peloponnesian village to the military superpower of Greece. Above all, Matyszak investigates the role of the Spartan hoplite, the archetypal Greek warrior who was feared throughout Greece in his own day and has since become a legend. The listener is shown the man behind the myth; who he was, who he thought he was, and the environment which produced him.

    DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT THE OFFICIAL BOOK. 
    This is a summary, & it does not accompany the official 
    In 'The Creative Act: A Way of Being' by Rick Rubin, the renowned music producer takes readers on a journey beyond the traditional notions of artistry. Instead of focusing solely on the mechanics of creating great works of art, Rubin explores the profound concept of 'how to be.' He shares his unique approach of providing a space where artists from diverse genres can discover their true selves and unlock their creative potential. 
    Throughout the book, Rubin emphasizes the importance of transcending self-imposed limitations and reconnecting with a sense of innocence that leads to unexpected and inevitable moments of creativity. He argues that being an artist is not solely about the output but about one's relationship with the world. Creativity, he asserts, is a universal capacity that can be expanded by all individuals, making it a significant responsibility for everyone. 
    'The Creative Act' offers readers a generous and enlightening exploration of the artist's path—one that is accessible to all. It distills a lifetime of wisdom into a captivating read that empowers individuals to create moments of exhilaration and transcendence in their own lives. Rick Rubin's book encourages everyone to embrace their creative potential and broaden the scope of their creative endeavors.
