The Orbis Pictus

Johann Amos Comenius

Beschreibung

In "The Orbis Pictus," Johann Amos Comenius presents a groundbreaking approach to education, intertwining illustrations with text to enhance the learning experience for children. The book, widely regarded as one of the first children's textbooks, uses a simple and engaging literary style, characterized by its didactic tone and vivid imagery. Comenius' innovative integration of pictorial elements with descriptive language reflects the pedagogical shifts of the 17th century, emphasizing the importance of visual learning and a holistic approach to understanding the world. This work served not just as a means of instruction but as a reflection of the Enlightenment ideals that sought to illuminate the human mind through accessible knowledge. Comenius, a Czech philosopher, teacher, and theologian, was a pioneering figure in educational reform. His experiences with the injustices of war and the inequities of education deeply influenced his conviction that learning should be universally accessible. A strong advocate for the moral and intellectual development of children, Comenius sought to create a more equitable education system. His commitment to nurturing curiosity and understanding in young minds is abundantly clear in "The Orbis Pictus," where he challenges conventional methods of teaching. This seminal work is highly recommended for educators, historians, and anyone interested in the evolution of pedagogy. "The Orbis Pictus" not only provides insight into the educational philosophies of the past but also inspires a modern understanding of the essential interplay between visual and textual learning. Comenius' vision remains relevant, making this book a timeless resource for enriching educational practices.

The Trial of Vladimir Putin

Geoffrey Robertson

Vladimir Putin's war against Ukraine has cost hundreds of thousands of lives and is fundamentally an attack on democracy. Under international law, the invasion of a United Nations member state which poses no imminent threat to the invader amounts to the serious crime of aggression. But can Putin be prosecuted? And if so, will he ever be held to account?
This remarkable book, by one of the world's most celebrated human rights lawyers, shows how the Nuremberg trials of Nazi leaders validate the prosecution of Putin. Ironically, Putin's defence hinges on a doctrine invented by George W. Bush to justify his invasion of Iraq, which Geoffrey Robertson exposes as contravening international law. If Putin fails to attend court, Robertson argues that he could be tried fairly in his absence, ensuring a verdict that will give pause to China and other countries which look to destroy democracy.
This brilliant deep dive into international law offers a unique perspective on an unjust war, highlighting why democracy is not safe unless Putin can be put – at least metaphorically – behind bars.
