Sinossi

Knowledge Centers explores the vital role of historical institutions in preserving, expanding, and transmitting knowledge across cultures and generations, focusing primarily on the ancient and medieval periods.  It examines how these centers actively shaped intellectual history, influencing advancements from scientific discoveries to philosophical thought. The book argues these centers were not merely repositories of information, but dynamic hubs where existing knowledge was critiqued, expanded upon, and disseminated.

 
The book delves into prominent examples, such as the Library of Alexandria, an early model for organizing vast amounts of information, and the House of Wisdom in Baghdad, which preserved Greek texts and fostered advancements in mathematics and astronomy.  Medieval European universities also feature prominently, highlighting their contribution to scholasticism and law.

 
The book uniquely adopts a comparative approach, contrasting different types of knowledge centers across cultures and time periods to identify common themes and unique features, avoiding Eurocentric perspectives.

 
Concluding with an analysis of how these historical centers continue to influence modern systems of education and research, the book demonstrates the enduring relevance of ancient practices in today's interconnected world.  By drawing from primary sources like surviving manuscripts and contemporary accounts, Knowledge Centers offers a multidisciplinary perspective on intellectual history and cultural development.

    Presentation of the objectives of the book and the proposal to offer an alternative perspective to "The Power of Habit."Welcome to the book "Unveiling Habits: An Alternative Approach to The Power of Habit Book." In this work, we embark on a journey of exploring and questioning traditional theories about habits, presenting an alternative perspective to that proposed by the author Charles Duhigg in his acclaimed book.Since the publication of "The Power of Habit," many readers have been inspired by Duhigg's ideas about how habits shape our lives and how we can transform them to achieve success and happiness. However, while we recognize the merit of your contributions, we also believe that it is essential to question and deepen the understanding of the complex mechanisms that govern our automatic behaviors.Our approach is not simply to challenge Duhigg's work for contesting. On the contrary, we seek to expand knowledge on the subject of habits and to provide readers with a more complete and refined view of how they are formed, how they are maintained and how they can be modified.Our goal is to go beyond the simplistic idea that all habits follow a pattern of trigger-routine-reward, highlighting that habits are much more complex than this formula. We will investigate the influence of the social and cultural context on the formation of habits, as well as the importance of self-awareness for the change of entrenched behaviours.As we dive into this journey, we will seek support in recent research on neuroscience, behavioral psychology and other relevant disciplines. We will be looking for a deeper understanding of the brain connections that support habits, as well as identifying effective strategies for the adoption and maintenance of positive habits.Throughout the next chapters, we invite you to reflect with us and question the established premises without fear of exploring new horizons. Our intention is to offer a complementary rather than competitive approach to Duhigg's work, providing readers with a comprehensive and grounded view of the habits that govern our lives.We hope that, at the end of this journey, you will feel empowered to understand better the mechanics of habits and to make conscious choices that lead you to a healthier, more productive and satisfying life. Accompany us in discovering the nuances and secrets behind habits, and together we will unravel the power that they really exercise in our lives.

    The Harlem Hellfighters, also known as the 369th Infantry Regiment of the U.S. Army, embody a significant intersection of America’s military history and racial history. Initially raised as the 15th New York (Colored) National Guard and later federalized for World War I, the regiment was "loaned" to the French Army, where it compiled an extraordinary combat record, with a remarkable 191 days on the line and suffering about 1,400 casualties while never yielding its sector. These numbers, often highlighted in museum and official summaries, became a central pillar of the unit’s symbolic influence back home, and the unit’s performance in battle, unique experience under French command, and their triumphant homecoming in 1919 collectively reshaped debates concerning black soldiers’ loyalty, capability, and rights. As Colonel William Hayward famously told journalists, his men “never retire,” a sentiment that both the contemporary press and later unit histories preserved, capturing their combat ethos and the representational burdens they carried as black citizen-soldiers. 
    	At the same time, of course, their service did not immediately undo Jim Crow back home, even as the formation of the regiment was tied to civil rights efforts. Authorized in 1913 and organized in 1916 as New York’s first black National Guard regiment, the 15th drew volunteers from Harlem and beyond and practiced drills in borrowed spaces due to a lack of a finished armory. The regiment’s creation was the product of sustained black civic mobilization in New York and an older tradition of black soldiers that dated to the Civil War. When the United States declared war in April 1917, black leaders and newspapers urged enlistment, often framing service as a path to recognition and citizenship. W.E.B. Du Bois’s 1919 call to “return fighting” distilled that logic into a programmatic slogan.

    By the time Joshua Rivedal turned twenty-five, he thought he’d have the perfect life—a few years singing on Broadway, followed by a starring role in his own television show. After which, his getaway home in the Hamptons would be featured in Better Homes & Gardens, and his face would grace the cover of the National Enquirer as Bigfoot’s not-so-secret lover. Instead, his resume is filled with an assortment of minor league theatre and an appearance on The Maury Povich Show—a career sidetracked by his father’s suicide, a lawsuit from his mother over his inheritance, and a break-up with his long-term girlfriend. 
    Tortured by his thoughts, he finds himself on the ledge of a fourth-floor window, contemplating jumping out to inherit his familial legacy. In turn, he must reach out to the only person who can help him before it’s too late. 
    Based in part on his acclaimed one-man show, The Gospel According to Josh is a comedic and poignant true-to-life tale of love, loss, struggle, and survival—a gospel account of one young man’s passage into manhood—his twenty-eight-year Gentile bar mitzvah. 
    Joshua’s story is a testament that whether you’re a survivor of suicide loss, a suicide attempt survivor, or you’re someone going through a difficult time in life—you are not alone, the pain you’re feeling will get different, and hope and healing is available.
