The Collected Works - Enriched edition

John Dewey

Sinopse

In 'The Collected Works', John Dewey offers a comprehensive compilation of his influential writings that span educational theory, philosophy, and psychology. Employing a clear yet profound literary style, Dewey explores the principles of pragmatism and the interconnectedness of experience and reflection. The collection reveals his commitment to democracy and the role of education as a fundamental vehicle for social change, reflecting the intellectual currents of the early 20th century. It stands as an essential resource for understanding the evolution of modern educational practices and philosophical thought, framed by Dewey's belief in experiential learning as central to both individual and societal growth. John Dewey, a pivotal figure in the development of progressive education, was driven by a desire to bridge the gap between theory and practice. His background in psychology and philosophy, complemented by a deep engagement with social issues, shaped his vision of education as an adaptive, living process. Dewey's experiences as a teacher and his observations of societal dynamics informed his writings, making his insights particularly relevant in times of political and cultural upheaval. This collection is highly recommended for educators, philosophers, and anyone interested in the intersections of knowledge and social reform. Dewey's ideas resonate not only within academia but also in contemporary discussions on critical thinking and democratic engagement, making 'The Collected Works' an indispensable contribution to the field.

History of Christianity: An...

Billy Wellman

It is the largest faith in the world, spans the globe, and stretches back in time nearly two thousand years. We are, of course, talking about Christianity.
Today, the dominance of the Christian faith appears to be a readily accepted fact. But back when it first rose to prominence, for most outside observers, such an idea would have seemed highly unlikely.
From its inception, Christianity was persecuted and hounded. Christians often paid a high price for their faith. They met underground and even in graveyards. They were misunderstood, and their message to outsiders seemed hopelessly strange and muddled. Back then, no one could have imagined that this “cult,” which often met in secret, small groups, would one day have huge churches and an even larger global presence.
Yet, despite the odds, Christianity proved to be unstoppable. How did such a thing happen? From the perspective of a believer, the answer to that question is quite clear: the divine hand of God was at work. But even if one does not subscribe to the Christian faith, there are certain aspects of Christianity that stand out and can be used as mile-markers as to how and why Christianity came to take such a prominent place in world history.
This audiobook takes a look at the full history of Christianity, from its earliest days as a persecuted sect to its acceptance and formalization at the Council of Nicaea to the Middle Ages, the Enlightenment, and the subsequent modern age.
In this audiobook, you will learn about the following:The origins of Christianity and why people flocked to the religionThe life and ministry of JesusThe first Christian disciplesThe early Christian ChurchThe Council of Nicaea and the momentous impact it had on Christian historyAnd a whole lot more!

The Bravest Scout at Gallipoli

Ryan Butta

The many lives and tragic death of Harry Freame, the Anzac hero betrayed by his nation. 
 
Harry Freame was the first Australian to win the Distinguished Conduct Medal at Gallipoli. Raised as a samurai, he risked his life again and again to scout the beaches and hills of the battlefield, reporting invaluable intelligence back to his officers and relieving stranded soldiers who otherwise would surely have died. Some say he should have got the VC but didn't because he was half-Japanese, a fact he tried hard to conceal. 
 
After the war, Harry (real name Henry Wykeham Koba Freame) became a soldier settler and champion apple grower. But when Japan emerged as a perceived threat to Australia, Harry was recruited into Australian intelligence to spy on the Japanese community in Sydney. Before Japan's entry into World War II, Australia opened a diplomatic legation in Tokyo, and Harry was sent as a translator - but his real role was a spy. Extraordinarily, his cover was leaked by the Australian press, and the Japanese secret police tried to assassinate him not long after his arrival in Tokyo in 1941. Harry died back in Australia a few weeks later, but his sacrifice has never been acknowledged by Australia. 
 
Until now. Featuring never-before-seen material, The Bravest Scout at Gallipoli is a fascinating and immersive investigation into a grievous historical wrong.
