Beschreibung

Lost Libraries explores the profound consequences of losing these vital institutions, emphasizing that their destruction represents not just the loss of books but an attack on collective memory and future potential. From the ancient Library of Alexandria to the House of Wisdom in Baghdad, and the National Library in Sarajevo, these losses highlight the fragility of knowledge. Consider the House of Wisdom, once a beacon of intellectual advancement during Islam's Golden Age, reduced to ashes, or the Library of Alexandria, whose demise meant the potential loss of countless classical works. 

 
The book delves into why libraries become targets, examining motivations ranging from religious zealotry and political censorship to military strategy. By investigating these historical events through a chronological and thematic approach, it argues that understanding these losses is crucial for informing strategies for safeguarding knowledge and promoting intellectual freedom. 

 
Ultimately, the book uses diverse sources, from archaeological reports to eyewitness accounts, to offer a nuanced view of how these destructions have shaped history and continue to resonate today.

     In the early 1900's Dr. Maria Montessori began to reform educational methods with her work the 'Case dei Bambini' in Rome, Italy. Montessori began her work by developing methods to educate mentally retarded children, the method she developed was used with several children who at age eight took the state examinations in reading and writing, the children passed with above average scores. Because of this success (which is known as the 'first Montessori Miracle') Dr. Montessori was asked to open a school for children in Rome which she did. It was called the Case dei Bambini or “Children's House”. Now 101 years after the opening of the first Children's House we have recorded the first English translation of "The Montessori Method" by Maria Montessori. This book explains the Montessori Method of Education which supports “spontaneous self-development” of children and is used in the Case dei Bambini as well as many many Montessori Schools through out the world.

    New evidence in Dynamite Nashville uncovers the origin of an organized group of racist terrorists committing nationwide acts of violence against integration efforts in the late 1950's and early 1960s. Award winning historian Betsy Phillips not only paints a detailed picture of the social dynamic of the times, but details how a violent fringe of racists came to national prominence. In Dynamite Nashville, Phillips unmasks the KKK, reveals a racist terrorist network, names its principle leader, and shines a much needed historical spotlight on unsung civil rights hero Z. Alexander Looby. 
     
     
     
    Just as Nashville was where Civil Rights icons began, Nashville is where one of the country's most prominent organizations of racist terrorists formed. Members of The Confederate Underground would participate in least twenty bombings between 1957 and 1963. In Dynamite Nashville, Phillips revisits three unsolved Nashville bombings. Additionally, her research shows how the differing agendas of local police and the FBI allowed these bombers to escape prosecution until decades later, if at all. Dynamite Nashville is a prequel to the racist violence of the 1960s, the story of how these bombers came together to learn how to terrorize communities, and to escape any meaningful justice. It is also the story of how communities and heroes like Z. Alexander Looby pushed back.
