Beschreibung

In "On Old Age" (Cicero de Senectute), Marcus Tullius Cicero explores the philosophical reflections on aging and the intrinsic value of old age. Written in a dialogue format reminiscent of Greek traditions, the text artfully addresses aging's inevitabilities and the wisdom it can usher. Cicero, through the character of Cato the Elder, presents arguments that counter societal views which often regard old age with disdain. His eloquent prose and rhetorical skill emerge from a rich literary context steeped in the Roman tradition, making it a cornerstone of Stoic philosophy that seeks to inspire resilience and virtue in the face of life's transience. Cicero, a statesman, orator, and philosopher of the late Roman Republic, penned this work during a tumultuous time, marked by political unrest and personal loss. His thoughts on aging reflect not only his intellectual pursuits but also his grappling with his mortality amidst the fading Republic. Engaging with the traditions of philosophy and rhetoric, Cicero's own experiences significantly influenced his contemplative approach toward the stages of life. "On Old Age" serves as an essential read for anyone seeking solace and understanding in the natural progression of life. Its timeless wisdom transcends the ages, offering profound insights on how to embrace aging with dignity and purpose, encouraging readers to cultivate a perspective that honors the contributions of seasoned experience.

    I'll Just Be Five More Minutes -...

    A hilariously-honest, heartwarming essay collection about life, love, and discovering you have ADHD at age 35   Despite being a published writer with a family, a gaggle of internet fans, and (most shockingly) a mortgage, Emily Farris could never get her sh*t together. As she saw it, disorganization was one of her countless character flaws—that is until she was diagnosed with ADHD at age 35. Like many girls who go undiagnosed, Emily grew up internalizing criticisms about her impulsivity and lack of follow-through. She held onto that shame as she tried (and often failed) to fit into a world designed for neurotypical brains.  I'll Just Be Five More Minutes is a personal essay collection of laugh-out-loud-funny, tear-jerking, and at times cringey true stories of Emily's experiences as a neurodivergent woman. With the newfound knowledge of her ADHD, Emily candidly reexamines her complicated relationships (including one with a celebrity stalker), her money problems, the years she spent unknowingly self-medicating, and her hyperfixations (two words: decorative baskets).    A memoir-in-essays both entertaining and enlightening, I'll Just Be Five More Minutes is for people with ADHD, as well as those who know and love them. This is a powerful collection of deeply relatable, wide-ranging stories about a woman's right to control her own body, about overwhelm and oversharing, about drinking too much and sleeping too little, and about being misunderstood by the people closest to you. At its heart, I’ll Just Be Five More Minutes is about not quite fitting in and not really understanding why—something we’ve all felt whether we're neurodivergent or not.

    In the century since its founding in 1924, the Roman Catholic diocese of Lancaster has had seven bishops and one auxiliary bishop. In a series of biographical portraits, Paul Severn tells the story of each of the bishops, explores their background and their impact on the life of the diocese in a century of change in the Church and in the wider world.
    
     
    Looking back on a century that has seen two world wars, profound changes in society, the “revolution” of the Second Vatican Council, increasing secularization and declining numbers of those attending church, and the beginnings of synodality, he reflects on the lives of the individual bishops and also on the role and responsibility of Roman Catholic bishops in the twenty-first century.

    GE2020: an election that should not be forgotten for yielding startling outcomes, including the appointment of the first Leader of the Opposition. 
     
     
    Voting in a Time of Change is part of a longitudinal study by editors Kevin YL Tan and Terence Lee, who have been assembling trenchant analyses of each General Election by leading academics and commentators since GE2011. Their long game makes possible specific and unique insights. Of GE2020, this is what they have to say: 
     
     
    “The major political shift in Singapore that started in 2011 is marching on, even amidst a Covid-19 pandemic that was to have been a great disrupter. Whether we call this a ‘New Normal’ – as many did back in 2011 – or otherwise is not as important as the momentum for change that has built up since then. Covid-19 thus became a political backdrop to a social and political shift that was merely searching for a catalyst.” 
     
     
    What insights and lessons can we carry forward to the next General Elections? This is an indispensable milestone publication for citizens who wish to commit to even more informed choices, and for political observers who are keeping close tabs on the evolution of our political landscape.
