A Room of One's Own

Virginia Woolf

"A Room of One's Own" began life as a pair of lectures delivered by Virginia Woolf in October 1928 at Newnham College and Girton College, women's colleges at the University of Cambridge and was published as a stand-alone book in 1929. In this brilliant examination of literature, history and gender discrimination, Woolf posits that the dearth of female writers in literature did not result from a lack of talent; it was the lack of opportunity. Historically, female writers were thwarted in their literary pursuits by a culture that disapproved of female authors, by gatekeepers within the literary establishment who barred women from participating and by societal pressures that attempted to shoehorn women into being primarily wives, mothers and housekeepers. Woolf's devastating critique of these injustices has been hailed as one of the finest pieces of literary criticism for almost a century. "A Room of One's Own" is presented here in its original and unabridged format.

Beyond the Equation: Philosophy...

Henry J. Howes

"Beyond the Equation: Philosophy Meets the Universe" explores the profound intersection of human thought and the vast cosmos. This concept delves into how philosophical inquiry complements scientific discovery, pushing the boundaries of understanding existence, reality, and our place in the universe. By combining the rigor of mathematical equations with abstract reasoning and symbolic thought, it paints a picture of humanity's quest to unravel the mysteries of the cosmos. 
The theme reflects the synergy between logic and wonder, showcasing how the universe is not just a collection of physical laws but also a canvas for contemplation, imagination, and meaning. It invites viewers to ponder deep questions: Are we mere observers, or integral parts of this cosmic equation? How do our philosophies shape the way we interpret the universe's grandeur? 
With imagery of glowing symbols, swirling galaxies, and the serene presence of a philosopher amidst the stars, "Beyond the Equation" encapsulates the timeless pursuit of knowledge, bridging the finite and infinite, the known and the mysterious. It is a call to embrace curiosity and view the universe as an endless dialogue between science and philosophy.

CS Lewis For Beginners

Louis Markos

C.S. Lewis For Beginners is a thorough examination of C. S. Lewis, the greatest Christian apologist of the twentieth century, throughout his career as an author and as a professor at Oxford University. A Christian apologist defends Christianity as a consistent and coherent worldview that squares with human reason, history, and desire. It offers answers to every facet of our lives on earth as well as answers to our questions about what happens after we die. What makes C.S. Lewis unique as an apologist is the way he balanced so perfectly reason and imagination, logic and intuition, and head and heart. In addition to writing such non-fiction apologetics books as Mere Christianity, The Problem of Pain, and Miracles, he wrote eleven novels: the seven Chronicles of Narnia, a trilogy of science-fiction adventures, and a haunting retelling of an old myth set in the ancient world. All eleven tell wonderful, captivating stories that stand on their own as fiction but that also support and bring to life the kinds of apologetical arguments he makes in his non-fiction. He also wrote two utterly unique works of fiction, The Screwtape Letters and The Great Divorce, that offer a fresh, highly original take on sin and temptation, angels and devils, and heaven and hell. And that’s not all. Lewis the apologist and novelist had a day job. He was a celebrated English professor at Oxford, and then Cambridge, University who wrote works of literary criticism that are still famous today. C.S. Lewis For Beginners takes the reader through the wardrobe of his complete catalog of writing.
