Summary

Plato: Complete Works is a definitive collection of the philosophical texts of one of Western thought's most significant figures. Encompassing dialogues, letters, and philosophical treatises, this anthology reveals Plato's explorations of justice, morality, and the nature of reality. His literary style, characterized by Socratic dialogue and allegory, invites readers to engage actively with profound questions about the human condition. Within this collection, the interplay of rhetoric and dialectic shines, offering insightful commentary on the political and ethical landscape of ancient Athens while intertwining it with timeless philosophical inquiries. Plato, a student of Socrates and mentor to Aristotle, lived during the tumultuous Golden Age of Athens. His exposure to the political strife and intellectual vigor of his time profoundly influenced his writings. Deeply invested in the pursuit of truth and the ideal society, he sought to meld philosophy with practical governance, as evidenced in texts such as The Republic. His concern for the moral fabric of society reflects a lifelong commitment to understanding and improving the human experience. This anthology is an essential read for anyone striving to grasp the roots of Western philosophy. Scholars and novices alike will benefit from Plato's comprehensive insights into ethics, politics, and metaphysics, making it an indispensable resource for reflective thinkers and those seeking a deeper understanding of philosophical inquiry.

    All of us have things we want to change about ourselves. 
    All of us have goals and aspirations, and perfect versions of ourselves that we imagine. We all want to have better abs, better teeth, more confidence, and more money. 
    And every now and then, we get sick of just “wanting” those things and we endeavour to do something about it. That normally involves beginning a new training program, or it means investing money, or changing bank account. 
    We make a huge effort to make these changes, but we seldom end up getting the results we want. In fact, many people have completely given up on the hope that they can EVER change. 
    Why is that? 
    Normally, it’s because we approach our goals in the completely the wrong way. We are looking for drastic change. We want to see immediate results. 
    But that’s not how improvement really works.

    The Oak and the Larch - A Forest...

    Russia's forests account for nearly one-fifth of the world's wooded lands. The Oak and the Larch is the first-ever English-language exploration of this vast expanse—a dazzling environmental history of Russia that offers an urgent new understanding of the nature of Russian power, and of Russia's ideas of itself. 
    Award-winning scholar Sophie Pinkham's magisterial account spans centuries, revealing how forests have nourished ancient Siberian indigenous societies, defended medieval Slavic settlements from Mongol invasion, and served as both an essential natural resource and a potent cultural symbol for Russia in all its incarnations. By examining the country from the forest's perspective, Pinkham pushes far beyond the contemporary political environment in Russia. She draws on literature, history, and art to connect the expanse of the Russian wilderness and the nature of Russian culture, with indelible portraits of the diverse figures who have inhabited and celebrated these forests. She confronts the forest's role in Russia's long history of imperial conquest, and in resistance to this conquest. 
    The Oak and the Larch offers a vision of Russia rarely seen in the west, as a land defined by its wilderness, shaped by its encounters with the frontier, and—much like our own—ultimately beholden to nature's whim.

    - Vocabulary taught through language-in-use to build the learners’ vocabulary through use rather than memorisation of rules
    - Contemporary topics to inculcate 21-century skills amongst learners

    DESCRIPTION: 
    My Blue Book of Grammar is a course that has been conceptualized and designed keeping in mind the increasingly dynamic role of the English language in today’s world. Especially in our country, where English serves as the lingua franca, a grammar course has to offer not only an exposition of the pedagogy but also the exhibition of the utility of that pedagogy. The aim of a grammar series should be to encourage the development of competency amongst learners, even though their proficiency levels may vary. While the level of exposure to English of all learners may be different, a grammar series should aid in the development of a certain level of confidence amongst the learners, with the end result being that they are able to converse without hesitation in English.

    It seems so much is going wrong in America. Some say it’s because our leaders are incompetent. Others think it’s merely a coincidence. But to millions of concerned Americans, those simplistic explanations no longer ring true. 
    Instead, they sense something else is going on… 
    Kevin Freeman is one of them. Drawing on his deep expertise in investigative analysis, he took a hard look at all that America is going through. Piecing together historical evidence and current events, he made a shocking discovery: 
    The crises now facing America are happening according to plan. 
    Decades in the making, it is a plan to take down the greatest obstacle to totalitarianism the world has ever known: the United States. And it’s a plan that will succeed—unless we join together now to save America.
