Pasquale De Marco

Sinopse

**Sapience: An Exploration of Human Thought** takes readers on an intellectual journey through the history of philosophy, from its ancient origins to its modern complexities. This comprehensive book examines the ideas that have shaped our world, from the rationalism of Descartes to the skepticism of Hume, from the idealism of Plato to the materialism of Marx.

With engaging prose and insightful analysis, **Sapience** explores the fundamental questions that have perplexed humanity for centuries: What is the nature of reality? How can we know what is true? What is the meaning of life? Readers will encounter the great thinkers who have grappled with these questions and challenged our assumptions about the world.

The book also investigates the impact of sapience on our lives, both as individuals and as a society. How has our understanding of the world shaped our art, our literature, our politics, and our technology? How has it influenced our relationships with each other and with the natural world?

**Sapience** is more than just a history of philosophy. It is an exploration of what it means to be human. By understanding the evolution of thought, we can better understand ourselves, our place in the universe, and the possibilities that lie ahead.

In this era of unprecedented technological advancements and global interconnectedness, **Sapience** offers a timely and thought-provoking examination of the human mind and its capacity for knowledge, wisdom, and compassion. It is an invitation to embark on an intellectual adventure, to question assumptions, to expand horizons, and to discover the wonders of the human mind.

**Sapience** is an essential read for anyone interested in philosophy, history, or the human condition. It is a book that will challenge your assumptions, inspire your thinking, and leave you with a deeper understanding of the world and your place in it.

Is It Possible to Renew the...

Jiddu Krishnamurti

Is it possible to renew the mind? - 24 May 1967 
• When the mind is living through imagination and thought, it is incapable of 
living in the complete fullness of the present. 
• Thought has created time, not chronological time but psychological time. That 
is, ‘I will be,’ ‘I should be.’ 
• Is it possible for the brain to be quiet, to give an interval between the old and 
the new? This interval is the timeless nature in which thought cannot possibly 
enter. 
• That which has continuity is repetitive, which is time. It’s only when time 
comes to an end there is something new taking place. 
• To die every day to every problem, every pleasure, and not carry over any 
problem at all; so the mind remains tremendously attentive, active, clear. 
• Since love is not desire or pleasure, how does one come upon it? 
• Q: Is the feeling of responsibility a part of the order and discipline you were 
talking about? 
• Q: Why don’t people get angry with what you are saying?

Skateboarding capital - The...

Victor Augustus Graciotto

Ao longo de quase duas décadas, entre 1990 a 2007, tínhamos as duas principais marcas nacionais, que realizavam os principais campeonatos e circuitos nacionais, investiam em pistas e patrocinavam skatistas, que despontam nos campeonatos mundiais subindo ao pódio e levando títulos. Tudo isso inserido em uma ebulição musical e de moda onde o principal público era de adolescentes e jovens, que viam no skate uma forma de expressão. Desde o carrinho até as roupas streetwear, produziam e reproduziam um comportamento e uma identidade própria. Surgiu um estilo de vida, o skate como um lifestyle, e Curitiba reconhecida como a capital do skate brasileiro. A cultura do skate é resiliente, diversa e se reinventa. Desde 1972, quando tudo era desconhecido e novo, os pioneiros do skate paranaense criaram as referências. A nossa essência começou ali. E o skate passou de mão em mão, evoluiu de geração para geração. A criatividade e a liberdade movem nossa história do skate. É o que buscamos expressar neste livro.

Broken Biscuits: And other male...

Adam Farrer

Witty, tender and daring essays from the British David Sedaris 
'A lovely writer: supple, stylish and almost effortlessly witty.' Daily Mail 
'Made me laugh out loud and then properly cry.’ Jennie Godfrey 
When it comes to the challenge of being a man, Adam Farrer always seems to find a way to fall short… 
Broken Biscuits vividly recounts Adam’s struggles to live up to masculine expectations, real or imagined. From the calamity of his first serious relationship to an obsession with Prince that sees everyone questioning his sexuality, and from the repercussions of his adult circumcision to his doubts about his ability to survive the apocalypse, this candid and personal collection of essays is astonishingly far-reaching and riotously funny. 
Holding up a mirror to Adam’s own body image, his relationship with his family, his sense of self-worth and the mortifying experience of arriving at a teenage party wearing strawberry-patterned short shorts, this book is about growing up and trying to define yourself as a man but somehow always missing the mark. 
In this humorous autobiography, Adam Farrer presents a social study of his own life, filled with memoirs of his struggles with gender expectations. Broken Biscuits is a top pick for those seeking a candid, non-fiction exploration of masculinity. 
For fans of Gary Stevenson (The Trading Game), Terrance Hayes (To Float in the Space Between), Melvyn Bragg (Back in the Day), Jessica Andrews (Saltwater), and Amy Key (Arrangements in Blue).

Overdue - Reckoning with the...

Amanda Oliver

Who are libraries for, how have they evolved, and why do they fill so many roles in our society today? 
 
 
 
Based on firsthand experiences from six years of professional work as a librarian in high-poverty neighborhoods of Washington, DC, as well as interviews and research, Overdue begins with Oliver's first day at an "unusual" branch: Northwest One. 
 
 
 
Using her experience at this branch allows Oliver to highlight the national problems that have existed in libraries since they were founded: racism, segregation, and class inequalities. These age-old problems have evolved into police violence, the opioid epidemic, rampant houselessness, and lack of mental health care nationwide—all of which come to a head in public library spaces. 
 
 
  
Can public librarians continue to play the many roles they are tasked with? Can American society sustain one of its most noble institutions? 
 
 
 
Pushing against hundreds of years of stereotypes, romanticization, and discomfort with a call to reckoning, Overdue will change the way you think about libraries forever.
