Sinossi

In "The Essential John Dewey: 20+ Books in One Edition," this comprehensive anthology brings together key writings from one of America's foremost philosophers and educators. Dewey's literary style is characterized by clarity, pragmatism, and an unwavering commitment to social reform, reflecting the Progressive Era's ethos. His exploration of democracy, experience, and education weaves a rich tapestry that contextualizes his thoughts within the major philosophical movements of his time, including pragmatism and empiricism. This compilation not only showcases Dewey's notable works but also emphasizes his belief in the power of experiential learning and the importance of dialogue in education and society at large. John Dewey (1859-1952) was a pivotal figure in American philosophy and education, shaped by the transformative events of the early 20th century. His intellectual journey was influenced by his formative experiences with social issues and his deep engagement with the educational reforms of his time. These influences are palpable in his writings as he sought to bridge theory and practice, advocating for an educational system that prepares individuals to thrive democratically and morally in a complex society. For anyone interested in philosophy, education, or social theory, this definitive collection is an essential read. It provides invaluable insights into Dewey's enduring influence and the relevance of his ideas in contemporary discussions about education and democratic engagement.

I Know Why She Stayed

Kasey Rogers, K.J. Harrowick

I did not know the term "economic abuse" but I have suffered from it. It is that shared experience that gives us words and power, for if we can name it, we can mourn what we lost, allow ourselves to feel rage, and finally release our pain and say, 'never again.'" - Lara Lillibridge, author of The Truth About Unringing Phones: Essays on Yearning and Girlish: Growing Up in a Lesbian Home 
From Itch Perfect to the bonds of friendship, two gameshow participants' lives intertwine when they discover a shared trauma that restricted and shaped their futures.

Battle of the Boyne The: The...

Editors Charles River

The striking saga of the Glorious Revolution is one that continues to fascinate historians around the world today. Some chroniclers have referred to these events as the “Bloodless Revolution,” but other historians say otherwise. The ruthless game of politics that William of Orange and England’s King James II played may have been somewhat bloodless in comparison to history's greatest rebellions, but the rebels, soldiers, and other pawns who lost their lives along the way must not be forgotten. The revolution would also pave the path for a series of bloody wars between England and Scotland, the result of which has left quite a legacy of its own.  
Furthermore, it’s important to remember that James did try to return to England, and there would be two more years of war before James II gave up the quest to regain the throne. On July 1, 1690, the famous Battle of the Boyne was fought near the town of Drogheda, about five miles west of Baltray. The combatants were the supporters of King James II and King William III, both claiming to be the lawful sovereigns of England, Scotland, and Ireland. The conflict was part of a broader struggle for the destiny of the British Isles, and though it was not the decisive battle of the war, it is the most famous, the commemoration of which still fans tensions between Protestants and Catholics in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. In its aftermath, James II would again leave the British Isles, this time for good.
