Synopsis

In "How We Think & Other Works On Logic," John Dewey presents a profound examination of the processes of thought and reflection, emphasizing their practical implications for education and democratic society. Written in a clear, accessible style, this work aligns itself within the progressive educational movement of the early 20th century. Dewey critiques traditional rote learning, advocating instead for a reflective thought process that fosters critical thinking and problem-solving skills, essential for personal and societal growth. The collection serves not only as a philosophical treatise but also as a guide for educators seeking to engage students in meaningful dialogues about knowledge and inquiry. John Dewey (1859-1952) was a prominent American philosopher, psychologist, and educational reformer whose work has significantly impacted various fields, including education, psychology, and political theory. His experiences as an educator in a rapidly changing world fueled his belief in the need for experiential learning and the application of scientific methods to nurture democratic citizenship. Dewey's commitment to pragmatism and a participatory democracy shaped his ideology, leading to this influential exploration of how we think. This book is essential for educators, philosophers, and anyone interested in the intersection of thought and action in our lives. Dewey's insights challenge readers to reflect on their cognitive processes, fostering a deeper understanding of the significance of thinking in our democratic society. A must-read for those seeking to enhance their reflective practices and contribute meaningfully to their communities.

Emelia Symington-Fedy

A raw and riveting coming-of-age story about the wild love of teenage friendships and the casual oppression of nineties rape culture. 
 
 
 
Emelia Symington-Fedy grew up with her girl gang on the railroad tracks of a small town in British Columbia. Unsupervised and wild, the girls explored the power and shortcomings of "best" friendships and their growing sexuality. 
 
 
 
Two decades later an eighteen-year-old girl is murdered on Halloween on the same tracks, and Symington-Fedy returns to her hometown to stay with her mother, who is fearful of a murderer at large. 
 
 
 
While the media narrows its focus on how the girl dared be alone on the tracks, Symington-Fedy slowly comes to terms with the mistreatment of her own teenage body. Giving a bold and often darkly humorous first-hand account of nineties rape culture and the sexual coercion that still permeates girlhood, Symington-Fedy holds her hometown close and accountable and exposes the subtle ways that misogyny shows up daily.

The Language of the Night -...

Ursula K. Le Guin

Featuring a new introduction by Ken Liu, this revised edition of Ursula K. Le Guin’s first full-length collection of essays covers her background as a writer and educator, her thoughts on writing, and her commentary on literary science fiction and fantasy and their future. 
 
“We like to think we live in daylight, but half the world is always dark; and fantasy, like poetry, speaks the language of the night.”—URSULA K. Le GUIN 
 
Le Guin’s sharp and witty voice is on full display in this collection of twenty-four essays, revised by the author a decade after its initial publication in 1979. The collection covers a wide range of topics and Le Guin’s origins as a writer, her advocacy for science fiction and fantasy as mediums for true literary exploration, the writing of her own major works such as A Wizard of Earthsea and The Left Hand of Darkness, and her role as a public intellectual and educator. The book and each thematic section are brilliantly introduced and contextualized by Susan Wood, a professor at the University of British Columbia and a literary editor and feminist activist during the 1960s and ’70s. 
 
A fascinating, intimate look into the exceptional mind of Le Guin, whose insights remain as relevant and resonant today as when they were first published.

Russia's Road to War with...

Samir Puri

"We don't yet know where the current battle is headed. But Puri's 'first cut' will help us greatly in fathoming how we got here." – Patrick Porter, Professor of International Security, University of Birmingham
***
When Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine on 24 February 2022, many in the West were left stunned at his act of brutal imperialism. To those who had been paying attention, however, the warning signs of the bloodshed and slaughter to come had been there for years.
Tracing the relationship between the two countries from the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991 to Putin's invasion in 2022, what emerges from this gripping and accessible book is a portrait of a nation caught in a geopolitical tug of war between Russia and the West. While Russia is identified as the sole aggressor, we see how Western bodies such as the EU and NATO unrealistically raised Ukraine's expectations of membership before dashing them, leaving Ukraine without formal allies and fatally exposed to Russian aggression.
As a former international observer, Samir Puri was present for several of the major events covered in this book. He uses this experience to ask honestly: how did we get here? Why does Vladimir Putin view Ukraine as the natural property of Russia? Did the West handle its dealings with these countries prudently? Or did it inflame the tensions left amidst the ruins of the Soviet Union? Were there any missed opportunities to avert the war? And how might this conflict end?
