Summary

In "The Apache Expedition in the Sierra Madre," John Gregory Bourke presents a meticulously detailed account of the 1886 military campaign against the Apache tribes in the rugged Sierra Madre mountains. Bourke's narrative blends a reflective, first-person account with a keen analysis of the geopolitical and cultural dynamics of the American Southwest. His engaging prose, rich in descriptive imagery, allows readers to vicariously experience the harsh realities and moral dilemmas faced by soldiers and Native Americans alike during this turbulent period. Situating his work within the broader context of post-Civil War conflicts, Bourke's insights illuminate the complexities of frontier life and the perpetual struggle for land and identity. John Gregory Bourke, a seasoned officer and historian with extensive experience in the American West, draws upon his firsthand observations and interactions with both military personnel and Indigenous people. His commitment to nuanced representation stems from his profound respect for Apache culture, as well as his belief in the necessity of documenting the often-overlooked narratives of marginal communities. Bourke's background, which includes roles as a journalist and ethnographer, enriches his account, offering a multi-faceted view of a pivotal moment in American history. "The Apache Expedition in the Sierra Madre" is an essential read for historians, anthropologists, and anyone intrigued by the intersections of military history, Native American studies, and Western expansion. Bourke's sympathetic approach to a complex conflict invites readers to reflect on broader themes of colonization, cultural survival, and the moral ambiguities intrinsic to warfare. Engaging and thought-provoking, this book remains a vital contribution to the discourse surrounding America's frontier legacy.

    When tiny voices talk, three amazing things happen: they share surprising ideas and insights; they realise they are not so tiny; and they empower other tiny voices to talk too.Drawing on the winning formula of her Tiny Voice Talks podcasts, Toria Bono has compiled a great resource full of top tips and actionable advice from a range of tiny voices across the educational spectrum. The assembled voices speak on a broad range of topics relating to education and learner development - from mentoring, metacognitive skills and period education, to trauma-informed practice, nurturing curious learners and finding flow in the classroom.But above all, this book is a call to action for all those in our schools who have yet to find their voice to find it - and use it. There are big people with big voices (and big egos) in education, yet they are the minority. The majority consists of great people just getting on with doing great things - more often than not with people, not data, at the heart of their practice. This book inspires such people to find and use their voice; and when tiny voices talk to tiny voices, everyone wins. Suitable for teachers, teaching assistants and school leaders in all phases.

    This is an audiobook of Bodhi Leaves No.136 by Tan Acharn Kor Khao-suan-luang (Upāsikā Kee Ñāṇayon), 'A Good Dose of Dhamma: For Meditators WhenThey Are Ill' found in the Pariyatti Edition of Collected Bodhi Leaves Vol. V. Translated from the Thai by Thanissaro Bhikkhu. 
 
Excerpt from Chapter 1 
"Normally, illness is something we all have, but the type of illness where you can still do your work isn’t recognised as illness. It is called the normal human state all over the world. Yet really, when the body is in its normal state, it is still ill in and of itself. People in general are simply unaware of the fact that there is the deterioration of physical and mental phenomena, continually, from moment to moment. 
The way people get carried away with their thoughts and preoccupations while they’re still strong enough to do this and do that: that’s really complacency. They’re no match at all for people lying in bed ill.People lying in bed ill are lucky because they have the opportunity to do nothing but contemplate stress and pain. Their minds don’t take up anything else, don’t go anywhere else. They can contemplate pain at all times—and let go of pain at all times as well."

    "On the Soul" is a philosophical treatise written by Aristotle in the 4th century BC. The book is focused on the nature of the soul and its relationship to the body, as well as the various faculties of the soul such as perception, thought, and desire. The majority of the book is devoted to the discussion of the various faculties of the soul. Aristotle examines perception, memory, imagination, and thought in detail, and argues that these faculties are interconnected and form a hierarchy of cognitive processes. He also discusses the role of desire in human behavior, and how it relates to the other faculties of the soul. Read in English, unabridged.

    "Life The Goal" by Jiddu Krishnamurti is a profound exploration of the human condition and the quest for meaning and fulfillment. In this book, Krishnamurti delves into the fundamental questions that have perplexed humanity for centuries: What is the purpose of life? What is the nature of truth? How can one find lasting happiness and freedom? 
Krishnamurti argues that man is like a cloud, hurried along by the winds of life without a fixed purpose or understanding of life's meaning. He emphasizes the importance of embracing all experiences, both pleasant and painful, as essential for a full and meaningful life. Through introspection and self-discovery, Krishnamurti proposes that the ultimate goal of life is the liberation of the self from all desires, experiences, sorrows, and struggles. 
Central to Krishnamurti's teachings is the concept of Truth as the eternal goal, transcending the limitations imposed by beliefs, religions, and ideologies. He challenges the reader to cultivate a deep understanding of life, free from external authority and dogma, and to embrace doubt as a crucial tool for uncovering essential truths. 
"Life The Goal" offers a thought-provoking and transformative journey toward self-awareness, freedom, and genuine fulfillment. It invites readers to reevaluate their beliefs, question societal norms, and embark on a path of inner exploration and enlightenment.
