Beschreibung

In "An Introduction to the Prose and Poetical Works of John Milton," the author meticulously examines Milton's expansive oeuvre, offering readers a comprehensive lens through which to appreciate his groundbreaking contributions to English literature. The book is structured to juxtapose his poetic masterpieces with his fervent prose, highlighting themes of freedom, individualism, and the divine. Milton's use of blank verse and intricate imagery not only propels his narratives but also reflects the socio-political turbulence of 17th-century England, making the work relevant to the study of the English Renaissance and the evolution of poetic forms. John Milton (1608-1674), a seminal figure in literary history, was deeply influenced by the tumultuous events of his time, including the Civil War and the Interregnum. His passionate advocacy for personal liberties and challenges to ecclesiastical authority infuse his writings with an urgency that resonates today. A scholar, poet, and political figure, Milton's diverse experiences, including his time spent in Italy and as a civil servant for the Commonwealth, shaped his literary voice and cemented his role as a champion of both art and freedom. I highly recommend this book to scholars, students, and lovers of literature alike. It serves as an essential gateway to understanding Milton's complex body of work, providing insightful analyses that unravel the intricate relationship between his life experiences and literary output. Whether you are a seasoned Miltonist or a newcomer to his writings, this introduction will enrich your appreciation for one of the greatest poets in the English language.

    In search of leadership in Waldorf schools.
    Leadership in Waldorf schools has a specific history. Whereas 40 years ago it was hardly allowed to formally exist because it represented power and hierarchy, now it is commonplace to have a headmaster, rector or director. In this book, Hans Passenier examines the development of leadership and organisation in Waldorf schools. He starts at the origins and finds principles that can help develop school organisations and their leadership in the future. In four parts, he unfolds the foundations, the tools to develop leadership and organisations and finally describes exercises to support that development as a school community.
    His thesis is that education is about children being diverse, having different abilities. Also that the educator should not be a carpenter, but a gardener. The image of the school as an organism is guiding, in which the school community is a place for the inner development of each individual in that school community.
    The horizontal and vertical dimensions guide the view of both leadership and organisational design.

    Featured in Task & Purpose and Army Times."A riveting, unsparing, gritty, first-hand account of life in a great airborne unit that engaged in some of the toughest fighting in Afghanistan."—General David Petraeus, former Commander of the Surge in Iraq, US Central Command, former Commander of NATO/US Forces in Afghanistan and former Director of the CIA.
    
    “DAMN THE VALLEY” was a phrase regularly uttered by the men that spent any amount of time in the Arghandab River Valley during the deployment of 2 Fury to Afghanistan in 2009–2010. The valley has claimed bodies from the troops of Alexander the Great, the British Empire, and more recently, the Russian Army. Operating in the valley was like nothing the men could have envisaged, they called it the “meat grinder.”
    
    It was a deployment that the media didn’t talk about, and the government doesn’t acknowledge. Three of the company were KIA, more than a dozen suffered life-changing injuries, and half the company had Purple Hearts—not many modern-day deployments have a 52% casualty rate. At one point, the entire prosthetics ward at Walter Reed was full of the men who patrolled that deadly area of the world. 
    
    Since their return, many of the survivors have struggled to move on with their lives, and the unit has been declared at "extraordinary risk" by the Department of Veteran Affairs. No one who entered that region was left unscathed. This book shares the perspective of the men that were on the ground for that deployment during the fighting season of 2010.

    What are the politics of nature? Who owns it, where is it, what role does it play in our lives? Does it need to be tamed? Are we ourselves natural? In A Darker Wilderness, a constellation of luminary writers reflect on the significance of nature in their lived experience and on the role of nature in the lives of Black folks in the United States. Each of these essays engages with a single archival object, whether directly or obliquely, exploring stories spanning hundreds of years and thousands of miles, traveling from roots to space and finding rich Blackness everywhere. 
     
     
     
    Erin Sharkey considers Benjamin Banneker's 1795 almanac, as she follows the passing of seasons in an urban garden in Buffalo. Naima Penniman reflects on a statue of Haitian revolutionary François Makandal, within her own pursuit of environmental justice. Ama Codjoe meditates on rain, hair, protest, and freedom via a photo of a woman during a civil rights demonstration in Alabama. And so on with wide-ranging contributions unearthing evidence of the ways Black people's relationship to the natural world has persevered through colonialism, slavery, violence, and structurally racist policies.
