Sinopse

In "John Dewey: Philosophical Works," the seminal American philosopher encapsulates his innovative contributions to pragmatism, education, and democracy. Dewey's writing style is marked by clarity and a commitment to practical implications, making complex philosophical concepts accessible to a broader audience. The collection reflects the early 20th-century intellectual climate, emphasizing the interplay between experience and thought, thus situating Dewey within the larger context of American idealism while challenging traditional dogmas of the time. His philosophical inquiries extend beyond abstract theorizing to address pressing social issues, advocating for progressive education and experiential learning as essential to fostering a democratic society. John Dewey (1859-1952) was a pivotal figure in the development of modern educational theory and social reform, deeply influenced by his experiences within the context of an evolving America. His philosophical journey was informed by a belief in the social nature of knowledge and the importance of education as a vehicle for social change. Dewey's teachings at institutions like the University of Chicago and Columbia University reflect his dedication to creating a more participatory democratic society, a vision that permeates this collection of his works. For readers interested in philosophy, education, or social theory, "John Dewey: Philosophical Works" is an essential anthology that provides insight into Dewey's transformative ideas. This collection not only enhances understanding of his philosophical legacy but also serves as a guide for contemporary discourses on democracy and learning, making it invaluable for scholars, educators, and anyone seeking to engage with Dewey's enduringly relevant ideas.

  • The Plunder of Black America - How the Racial Wealth Gap Was Made - cover

    The Plunder of Black America -...

    Wealth is central to the American pursuit of happiness and is an overriding measure of well-being. Yet wealth is conspicuously absent from African American households. Why do some 3.5 million Black American families have zero or negative wealth? 
 
 
  
Historian Calvin Schermerhorn traces four hundred years of Black dispossession and decapitalization—what Frederick Douglass called plunder—through the stories of families who have strived to earn and keep the fruits of their toils. Their struggles reveal that the ever-evolving strategies to strip Black income and wealth have been critical to sustaining a structure of racialized disadvantage. These accounts also tell of the quiet heroism of those who worked to overcome obstacles and defy the plunder. 
 
 
  
From the story of Anthony and Mary Johnson, abducted from Angola and brought to Virginia in 1619, to the enslaved Black workers dispossessed by the Custis-Washington family, to Venture Smith (born Broteer Furro), who purchased his freedom, to three generations of a family enslaved in the South who moved north after Emancipation, to the Tulsa massacre and the subprime lending crisis, Schermerhorn shows that we cannot reckon with today's racial wealth inequality without understanding its unrelenting role in American history.

    "The Stillwater Tragedy" by Thomas Bailey Aldrich is a fictional novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story delves into the dark and mysterious atmosphere surrounding a murder in the seemingly idyllic village of Stillwater. As the narrative unfolds, it reveals the tumultuous and often harsh lives of the townsfolk, with a particular focus on several key characters, including the recently deceased wealthy man, Mr. Lemuel Shackford, and his estranged cousin, Richard Shackford. 
The story opens with a chilling tone just before daybreak in Stillwater, where the body of Mr. Shackford lies dead, the victim of a violent crime. As the sun rises, the village awakens to its daily rhythm while grappling with the shock of the murder. Young Mary Hennessey, whose delayed milk delivery leads her to discover the crime scene, unwittingly becomes the center of attention as gossip spreads throughout the town. 
Shortly after the discovery, the townspeople gather in anxiety and suspicion, prompting an investigation led by local authorities. Through vivid descriptions and evocative character portrayals, the beginning of the novel establishes an unsettling mood as it explores themes of violence, greed, and the fragile nature of community bonds in the face of tragedy.

    On October 3, 1951, the New York Giants’ Bobby Thomson hit a dramatic ninth inning game-winning home run off the Brooklyn Dodgers’ Ralph Branca at the Polo Grounds in the decisive third game of a three-game playoff to win the National League pennant. 
It would be known in baseball lore as the "Shot Heard 'Round the World." 
The game — the first ever televised nationally—was seen by millions of viewers across America and heard on radio by millions more, including thousands of American servicemen stationed in Korea, listening on Armed Forces Radio.

    Love, Demystified – Feel Like Getting Hot Under the Sheets? New Book Shares Why Sex is Always on Our Minds 
With sex holding such a prominent place in the human experience, Dr Jasmine's new book – Love, Demystified, takes readers on a unique journey into better understanding that there's so much more to love than what happens under the sheets, in the back of the car, or on the kitchen table. You will learn all about the timeless, and modern love mysteries: the soulmate, the muse, the dark passion, the one night stand, love as a drug and so much more. 
When you are "vibing" with someone, you could feel great or you might sense that they are toxic, right? But did you know, that the 'vibes', or 'vibrations', are the actual tangible essence of the universe – that energy which connects all entities. Published on the 2d of July, 2024, Love Demystified by Dr Jasmine (who writes under a pseudonym) enthralls readers as she sets out her intriguing beliefs around how Love, God and electromagnetic energy are all one of the same thing; using school level physics to demonstrate her claims. 
If you’ve had enough of ordering your next lover, like a pizza, from a dating App, or treating your ‘faulty’ partner like a washing machine (isn’t it so much easier to get a new one than to repair an old one?), then Love, demystified, will show you how to nurture a lifelong relationship that transcends the act of sex and opens participants up to the deepest and infinite layers of a person. Whilst also leading to the highest levels of lovemaking pleasures.  
 And as an accidental by product, embracing love in this way also results in you finding, and accomplishing, your life’s purpose.
