Sinopse

In "Through Portugal," Martin A. S. Hume presents a compelling exploration of Portuguese landscapes, culture, and history through a meticulously crafted travel narrative. Written in the early 20th century, the book blends vivid descriptions with insightful commentary, reflecting a style that captures the essence of travel literature during this period. Hume's narrative is steeped in rich imagery, allowing readers to visualize the diverse regions of Portugal'Äîfrom its bustling cities to serene rural vistas'Äîwhile also delving into the historical contexts that shaped the nation and its people. Martin A. S. Hume was a prominent British historian and travel writer whose extensive travels across Europe fueled his passion for historical narratives. His fascination with Portugal, steeped in mystique and cultural depth, likely stemmed from both personal experiences and a scholarly pursuit to document lesser-known aspects of European history. Hume's background in history is evident throughout his writing, as he skillfully intertwines the landscape with historical anecdotes, making the narrative not just a travel account but an educational journey through time. "Through Portugal" is a must-read for anyone interested in the allure of travel literature that goes beyond mere sightseeing. Hume's unique voice and historical perspective provide a richer understanding of Portugal'Äôs cultural tapestry, making this book an invaluable resource for both scholars and casual readers. It invites you on an intimate journey that resonates with the timeless charm of a country often overshadowed by its European neighbors.

    The Six Goswamis of Vrindavan was a group of scholars and devotees who lived in Vrindavan during the 16th century. The group consisted of Rupa Goswami, Sanatana Goswami, Jiva Goswami, Gopal Bhatta Goswami, Raghunatha Bhatta Goswami, and Raghunatha Dasa Goswami. They were instrumental in the development of the Gaudiya Vaishnavism tradition and the spread of the Bhakti yoga movement. They were known for their scholarship, devotion, and austere lifestyle, and were revered by the people of Vrindavan and beyond. 
     
    The Six Goswamis of Vrindavan left a lasting impact on the development of Hinduism, particularly the Gaudiya Vaishnavism tradition. They wrote extensively on the philosophy, theology, and practices of Bhakti, and their works continue to be studied and revered by scholars and devotees alike. Their teachings emphasized the importance of devotion to Krishna as the ultimate path to liberation, and their writings provide insight into the practices and rituals of Bhakti, as well as the historical and cultural context of the Bhakti movement. The legacy of the Six Goswamis of Vrindavan continues to inspire and guide those who seek a deeper understanding of the path of devotion.

    Once pitted as adversarial counterparts as the opinion editors of Detroit's right- and left-leaning newspapers, veteran journalists Nolan Finley and Stephen Henderson join forces in this groundbreaking work to champion a novel approach to political discourse. Finley, a resolute conservative, and Henderson, a committed progressive, defy expectations by demonstrating that civil conversation is not only possible but also richly rewarding, even across colossal ideological divides.

The Civility Book is an extension of that mission, offering practical tools and strategies for fostering civility in everyday interactions. At the core of this work, the authors position their four pillars of civility to explain what civility is, why it matters, and how individuals can use it to overcome the antagonistic rhetoric that threatens our society today, one conversation at a time. This conversational, no-nonsense guide provides valuable lessons, a detailed curriculum, probing questions for consideration, and an extensive appendix of resources outlining ongoing efforts to curb unproductive contention and advance a more harmonious society.

    You chose to be an educator because you felt a sense of purpose, a wish to serve—it's not just a profession. 
     
    Teaching is a role that demands emotional presence, relational skill, and boundless energy. If you're feeling burned out, overwhelmed, and more disconnected from your purpose, then chances are your students are feeling that way too. In The Self-Led Educator, Joanna Curry-Sartori is leading the movement to help teachers and school leaders use the transformative tools of Internal Family Systems (IFS) to reclaim their love of teaching, work compassionately with their own "parts" to better serve students, and build a resilient and connected community. 
     
    Becoming self-led means that your thoughts, emotions, and actions will be guided by the core self, rather than your reactive impulses, self-protective tendencies, or desire to people-please. Curry-Sartori will help you identify the root causes of collective stress, student disengagement, and interpersonal conflict at school, while also providing proven tools to prioritize your own mental health and emotional well-being. Let this powerful book be your guide to becoming a more calm, clear, compassionate, creative, curious, and connected educator. You can lead your school community toward excellence . . . starting with yourself.

    Economic Recovery Program

    On February 18, 1981, Reagan laid out his economic recovery program before a Joint Session of Congress. Reagan had previously outlined his recovery program in an Oval Office address on February 5, 1981, in which he displayed a dollar bill and 36 cents to show how inflation had reduced the value of a dollar since 1960.  
    Reagan made a further plea for enactment of his recovery program on April 28, 1981, following the assassination attempt on his life. Many economists credit this recovery program for reducing the inflation rate and igniting one of the longest and most robust economic expansions in U.S. history. 
    Reagan paints a grim picture of inflation, the national debt, and lagging productivity plaguing the economy. $41.4 billion of reduced spending is proposed with no reduction for “the poverty stricken, the disabled, the elderly, [and] all those with true need”. Subsidies of the synthetic fuel program, the Export-Import Bank, and the Economic Development Administration are targeted.  
    Block grants to states are proposed, along with changes to Medicaid, the space program, the Postal Service, and the Department of Energy. To counter the Soviet Union’s military build-up, defense is the one department with an increased budget. 
    A 10-percent tax cut for individual taxpayers is proposed for each of the next 3 years, along with increased depreciation allowances to allow business the capital needed to modernize.  
    We “must come to grips with inefficient and burdensome regulations, eliminate those we can and reform the others.”  
    To reduce inflation and interest rates, we need to slow the growth of our money supply. 
    This is our proposal for America’s new beginning. “I'm here tonight to ask you to join me in making it our plan.” Government “must not be used to regulate the economy or bring about social change.”
