Layamon's Brut is a Middle English poem assembled and remold by the vicar Layamon. The Brut relates the history of Britain and is the main historiography created in English since the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle.
According to Thomas Moore, people today have lost the deep, direct, and vivid sense of what it means to live with passion and originality. Moore believes that beneath the many thick layers of indoctrination about who we are and who we should be lies an original self, a person who came into this world full of possibility and destined for a particular life. The fifty mediations in this collection offer fresh interpretations of living with that original self rather than conformity. he presents multidimensional portraits of the creative self and different angles from which to tap one's primal emotions and possibilities. This audio demonstrates what it means to live from the burning essence of the heart, with the creativity that comes from allowing the soul to blossom in its own colors and shapes. With his usual grace and insight, Moore counters the prevailing assumptions of the day and offers strikingly unorthodox views on what is virtuous and healthy, opening up possibilities for a renewal of the way we live socially and in our private lives.Zum Buch
Urban sociology is the study of social life and human interaction in metropolitan environments. It is a field that explores the complex dynamics between individuals, communities, and institutions in urban settings. As cities continue to grow and transform, urban sociology provides invaluable insights into the structure and functioning of urban life, offering a lens through which we can understand how cities shape the behaviors, values, and relationships of their inhabitants. The origins of urban sociology trace back to the rapid industrialization and urbanization of the 19th century. As people moved from rural areas to cities in search of better economic opportunities, new social challenges emerged, leading scholars to examine the effects of urban environments on social structures and individual behaviors. Urban sociologists have long been concerned with the ways in which cities influence issues like inequality, social mobility, family dynamics, crime, and community organization. One of the central themes in urban sociology is the concept of social organization. Cities are intricate systems, with diverse populations, complex economies, and a wide range of institutions such as schools, businesses, governments, and religious organizations. Each of these institutions plays a vital role in shaping how people interact with one another and how they navigate their lives in an urban context. By studying these systems, urban sociologists seek to understand how cities function as both social entities and as arenas of competition, cooperation, and conflict.Zum Buch
