Sinopse

In 'The Jay Bird Who Went Tame', John Breck explores the complex themes of identity, freedom, and conformity through the story of a wild bird who chooses to give up its freedom for a life of safety and comfort. Written in a straightforward style with a touch of whimsy, this book will appeal to readers of all ages. Breck's use of anthropomorphism and symbolism adds depth to the narrative, making it a thought-provoking read for those interested in moral dilemmas and philosophical questions. The juxtaposition of the wild and the tame serves as a metaphor for the human experience, inviting readers to ponder the choices they make in their own lives. John Breck, a renowned nature writer and philosopher, draws on his deep understanding of the natural world to craft a story that challenges conventional notions of freedom and captivity. His background in environmental studies and ethical philosophy informs his exploration of the moral implications of domestication and the allure of security. 'The Jay Bird Who Went Tame' showcases Breck's talent for blending storytelling with philosophical insights, making it a unique and engaging read for those seeking both entertainment and intellectual stimulation. I highly recommend 'The Jay Bird Who Went Tame' to readers looking for a thought-provoking and beautifully written book that delves into the complexities of human nature and the allure of comfort. Breck's narrative skill and philosophical depth make this book a compelling and enriching read for anyone interested in exploring deep questions about identity, freedom, and the choices we make in life.

    Young Chuan lives with his father in the beautiful palace of a powerful Chinese warlord. As a reward for his cleverness in solving the warlord�s puzzle, Father is given the job of tallying the warlord�s treasure--brilliant jewels, rich brocades, and spices from a thousand lands. Life at the palace is luxurious but filled with so many interruptions Father often loses count! The varying totals lead the suspicious warlord to accuse him of stealing, and Father is about to lose hope. Just in time, Chuan discovers a special use for the warlord�s lovely jade beads--a use that will help Father keep an accurate tally, and cause the warlord to pronounce Chuan as clever as his Father. Often used by teachers of the primary grades to illustrate the powerful concept of "base ten," various types of counting frames appeared in China during the Middle Ages. The Warlord�s Beads is a valuable tool for introducing young readers to the wonder of numbers as well as the beauty and mystery of ancient China.

    The Varieties of Religious...

    "The Varieties of Religious Experience is a generous and endlessly insightful book about human nature." — The New York Times
    
    "The most notable of all books in the field of the psychology of religion and probably destined to be the most influential book written on religion in the 20th century." — Psychology today
    
    
    Published in 1902 and quickly established itself as a classic, this book is a work that opens a new era of thinking. The study made by William James brings us a new definition of the word Religion which "shall mean for us the feelings, acts, and experiences of individual men in their solitude, so far as they apprehend themselves to stand in relation to whatever they may consider the divine." Therefore, a religious experience appears to be a subjective experience which is interpreted within a religious framework.
    
    This book is fully annotated by the author (more than 300 footnotes) and contains a short biography.

    Sitting on the top deck of a bus days before Christmas, Maya sees a couple arguing violently in the middle of a crowded Regent Street. They see her watching, she looks away, and the woman disappears. Maya goes to the police, who shrug and send her away. Then a body turns up... Now convinced she is a vital witness to a crime, the police send Maya into hiding in rural Wales. She resolves to get to the bottom of the mystery. Then the snow comes and no one can get out. But what if someone can still get in?
    From the author of Dear Scarlett and Saving Sophia.
    "Fleur Hitchcock... has cornered the market in hard-boilers for beginners." - Alex O'Connell, The Times
    "A taut and exciting thriller. Fleur Hitchcock beautifully captures Maya's sense of unreality and fear as she untangles family relationships along with the mystery." - Scotsman
    "For a young readership, this is surprisingly no-holds-barred, but it handles a potentially traumatising subject with just the right balance of tenderness and gusto." - The School Librarian
