Sinopse

In "From October to Brest-Litovsk," Leon Trotsky presents a comprehensive account of the tumultuous period following the October Revolution of 1917 up to the signing of the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk in 1918. Written with incisive clarity, this seminal work interweaves personal narrative with political analysis, offering a rich tapestry of events that shaped early Soviet Russia. Trotsky's literary style is characterized by its vigorous rhetoric and deep ideological commitment, effectively immersing the reader in the revolutionary fervor of the time, while also critiquing the internal and external threats to the nascent Bolshevik regime. The work serves as both a historical document and a persuasive argument for the revolutionary principles he espoused, situated firmly within the context of Marxist theory and the global struggle for proletarian empowerment. Leon Trotsky, a key figure in the Bolshevik Revolution and a prominent Marxist theorist, wrote this book during his exile from political power following a power struggle within the Communist Party. His firsthand experience as the People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs and his pivotal role in negotiating peace with the Central Powers deeply informed his perspective on the intricacies of revolution and diplomacy. Trotsky's advocacy for permanent revolution and his analysis of historical materialism manifest in this narrative, reflecting both his political ideologies and his disillusionment with factionalism within the Soviet leadership. "From October to Brest-Litovsk" is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of the Russian Revolution, negotiating peace amid conflict, and the foundational elements of Bolshevik principles. Trotsky'Äôs insights are as relevant today as ever, making this work not only a historical account but also a critical commentary on the struggle for revolutionary change. This book will enrich the reader's understanding of revolutionary dynamics and the political landscape of the early 20th century.

    Western philosophers have long claimed that God, if such a being exists, is a personal force capable of reason, and that the path to a good human life is also the path to a happy one. But what if these claims prove false, or at least deeply misleading? The Aztecs of central Mexico had a rich philosophical tradition, recorded in Latin script by Spanish clergymen and passed down for centuries in the native Nahuatl language—one of the earliest transcripts being the Huehuetlatolli, or Discourses of the Elders, compiled by Friar Andrés de Olmos circa 1535. 
     
     
     
    The Discourses consists of short conversations between elders and young people on how to achieve a meaningful and morally sound life. Their core values relied on collective responsibility and group wisdom, not individual thought and action, orienting life around one's actions in this realm rather than an afterlife, distinctly opposed to Christian beliefs. 
     
     
     
    Sebastian Purcell's proficiency in Nahuatl, which his grandmother also spoke in contemporary form, brings to light the Aztec ethical landscape in brilliant clarity. Never before translated into English in its entirety, Discourses of the Elders reflects the wisdom communicated by oral tradition and proves that philosophy can be active, communal, and grounded not in a "pursuit of happiness" but rather the pursuit of a meaningful life.

    If anything can bind together nearly 400 pupils and 100 school staff in challenging circumstances, it's love. And love is in plentiful supply at Parklands.The pupils at Parklands Primary School, located on the Seacroft estate in Leeds, often face significant hardship. Children start at the school significantly behind their peers nationally, especially in terms of their language and literacy. Yet the school is famed for outstanding learning --both in terms of Ofsted judgement and, more importantly, in achieving amazing outcomes for its learners.In this inspiring book, head teacher Chris Dyson shares the story of how he has steered the school towards the seemingly impossible educational dream of high achievement, personalised support and complete inclusion. He explains how the school setting can be a place where there is love but also hope and relentless ambition for children, and reflects on the steps that he and his staff have put in place to make this a reality for Parklands' pupils. Chris delves into how this culture and climate of love drives behaviour and decision-making throughout the school - and, as a result, how this creates a safe, loving environment in which all of its learners can thrive. Chris also provides insights into how the leadership team goes about raising funds for the school, and how they choose to spend it on both curricular and extracurricular projects. And, furthermore, how the school broadens its pupils' experiences and cultural capital by means of residential trips, in-school productions, and sports and arts provision.An uplifting read for all teachers and school leaders.

    We live in a world where information takes on a life of its own and spreads rapidly. Faster than ever before. For some people, their lives depend on obtaining a steady stream of information as it affects their lives in the most telling ways. The daily news is the simplest example of this phenomenon. It is truly the lifeblood of society and helps us evolve into better informed individuals with every passing day. As one can tell, information on the whole comes at us from every direction. Its influence on business, politics, and government, banking, the STEM fields, and even the social sciences cannot be understated. But its journey begins with raw data being compiled by means of an experiment or study. In saying that, this book should serve as a reference guide for those who wish to go beyond the basics into territory that requires a solid understanding of advanced statistical concepts. Still, as a beginner, it will be wise to move forward with care so that you solidify your understanding before you begin to use these advanced methods. Finally, even if the subject matter is a bit deep, don’t be so serious that you forget to have fun with both the SPSS tool and the study of statistics on the whole. Having said that, let’s get to crunching numbers without any further delay!

    This is a summary, & it does not accompany the official 
    "Extreme Ownership" by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin is a transformative book that draws lessons in leadership from their experiences as Navy SEALs in the intense combat environment of Iraq. The authors recount their time leading SEAL Team Three's Task Unit Bruiser in the challenging mission to secure the insurgent-held city of Ramadi. Through gripping stories of heroism, loss, and victory, they emphasize the crucial role of leadership in the success or failure of a team. 
    After their deployment, Willink and Babin brought their combat-tested leadership principles to the civilian sector, founding Echelon Front to train leaders in various industries. "Extreme Ownership" has since become a pivotal resource in leadership development, adopted by many successful organizations, businesses, military units, and first responders. The book offers valuable insights and practical guidance on applying SEAL leadership principles to any leadership environment, challenging leaders to embrace their ultimate purpose: to lead and win.
