Sinopse

In "G. K. Chesterton, A Critical Study," Julius West offers a meticulous examination of one of the 20th century's most influential literary figures. West delves into Chesterton's multifaceted works, encompassing his novels, essays, and poetry, employing a blend of literary criticism and biographical exploration. The book is characterized by its analytical depth and eloquent prose, situating Chesterton's contributions within the broader context of early modernist thought and the Socratic form of discourse, which Chesterton famously championed. This critical study not only honors Chesterton's wit and paradoxical style but also tackles the intricacies of his philosophical underpinnings and theological viewpoints, thereby illuminating his impact on contemporary literature and culture. Julius West, a scholar with a profound interest in early 20th-century literature, draws from his extensive background in literary criticism and theology to craft this insightful analysis. His passion for Chesterton's work is evident, fueled by a desire to convey the importance of Chesterton's ideas in an age often bereft of the rich dialogues that define human existence. West's own experiences in literary scholarship lend significant weight to his interpretations and critiques. This book is highly recommended for anyone seeking to navigate the labyrinth of Chesterton's thought and articulate style. Whether a seasoned scholar, a graduate student of literature, or simply a curious reader, West's study functions as both an introductory guide and a profound exploration of Chesterton's enduring legacy, making it an indispensable addition to the libraries of those fascinated by literary criticism and theological inquiry.

    Shortly after the first Europeans arrived in seventeenth-century New England, they began to import Africans and capture the area's indigenous peoples as slaves. By the eve of the American Revolution, enslaved people comprised only about 4 percent of the population, but slavery had become instrumental to the region's economy and had shaped its cultural traditions. This story of slavery in New England has been little told. 
     
     
     
    In this concise yet comprehensive history, Jared Ross Hardesty focuses on the individual stories of enslaved people, bringing their experiences to life. He also explores larger issues such as the importance of slavery to the colonization of the region and to agriculture and industry, New England's deep connections to Caribbean plantation societies, and the significance of emancipation movements in the era of the American Revolution. Thoroughly researched and engagingly written, Black Lives, Native Lands, White Worlds is a must-listen for anyone interested in the history of New England.

    This is an audiobook of Wheel Publications No. 102/103 Buddhist Reflections on Death by V. F. Gunaratne, narrated by Jonathan Nelson.  
     
    "To most of us, at some moment or another, the spectacle of death must have given rise to the deepest of thoughts and profoundest of questions. What is life worth, if able bodies that once performed great deeds now lie flat and cold, senseless and lifeless? What is life worth, if eyes that once sparkled with joy, eyes that once beamed with love are now closed forever, bereft of movement, bereft of life? Thoughts such as these are not to be repressed. It is just these inquiring thoughts, if wisely pursued, that will ultimately unfold the potentialities inherent in the human mind to receive the highest truths. 
    "According to the Buddhist way of thinking, death, far from being a subject to be shunned and avoided, is the key that unlocks the seeming mystery of life. It is by understanding death that we understand life; for death is part of the process of life in the larger sense. In another sense, life and death are two ends of the same process and if you understand one end of the process, you also understand the other. Hence, by understanding the purpose of death we also understand the purpose of life." 
    —V.F. Gunaratne 
     
    "Buddhist Reflections on Death" is in Volume 8 of The Collected Wheel Publications published by Pariyatti (https://store.pariyatti.org/collected-wheel-publications-bpe) and as a free eBook from the BPS website (https://www.bps.lk/library-search-select.php?id=wh102).

    Have you ever wondered how The Simpsons predicts the future? Then, The Simpsons Secret is the book for you. 
     
     
     
    The Simpsons has been predicting major events with scary accuracy for over three decades, from Donald Trump's presidency to Disney buying 20th Century Fox. People just can't seem to get enough and are eager to know what it's going to predict next. This book goes behind the scenes of this adored cartoon series, and the family we've grown to love. Between Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and the rest of the Simpsons family, the show has stolen our hearts, and also left us amazed at how often The Simpsons predicts the future! 
     
     
     
    So how do they do it? Is it a crystal ball? A fountain of knowledge? Have the writers gained the ability to travel through time? As shocking as it may seem, the answer is actually a little simpler than that. The cartoon crew is not in a secret society that can see the future, nor have they mastered the art of time travel. 
     
     
     
    In The Simpsons Secret, learn more about: how The Simpsons is able to predict so many major events; how the show writers and producers come up with these ideas; and so much more about your favorite old-school cartoon family.
