Sinopsis

In "Rules for the Direction of the Mind," René Descartes presents a foundational text in the realm of modern philosophy and methodology. Written in the early 17th century, this work delineates a systematic approach to knowledge acquisition that emphasizes rationality over mere sensory experience. Descartes employs a clear, didactic style, reflecting the burgeoning scientific enlightenment of his time, and seeks to establish a robust framework for the discernment of truth through the methodical examination of ideas. He intricately interweaves metaphysical reflections with practical guidelines, offering readers a unique glimpse into his burgeoning philosophy that challenges the scholastic traditions preceding him. As a prominent figure in the history of Western thought, Descartes' intellectual journey was shaped by his quest for certainty amidst the uncertainties of an evolving world. His background in mathematics and science deeply influenced his philosophical inquiries, particularly his desire to establish a foundation for knowledge that could withstand skepticism. "Rules for the Direction of the Mind" embodies this aspiration, as Descartes attempts to reconcile the complexities of human cognition with rigorous scientific inquiry, underscoring his pivotal role in shaping modern philosophy. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the interplay between philosophy and science, as it provides essential insights into the Cartesian method that has influenced countless thinkers since. By mastering Descartes' principles, readers can enhance their critical thinking skills and appreciate the philosophical underpinnings of contemporary intellectual endeavors. As both a historical artifact and a philosophical guide, it invites readers to embark on an enlightening journey of introspection and cognitive clarity.

    An accessible, balanced chronicle of how the Israel-Palestine conflict originated and developed over the past century. The Shortest History books deliver thousands of years of history in one riveting, fast-paced listen. 
     
     
     
    The ongoing struggle between Israel and Palestine is one of the most bitter conflicts in history, with profound global consequences. In this book, Middle East expert Michael Scott-Baumann succinctly describes its origins and charts its evolution from civil war to the present day. Each chapter offers a lucid explanation of the politics and ends with personal testimony from Palestinians and Israelis whose lives have been impacted by the dispute. 
     
     
     
    While presenting competing interpretations, Scott-Baumann examines the key flashpoints, including the early role of the British, the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948, the Six Day War of 1967, and the Trump administration's peace plan, pitched as "the deal of the century," in 2020. He delineates both the nature of Israeli control over the Palestinian territories and Palestinian resistance—going to the heart of the clashes in recent decades. The result is an indispensable history, including a timeline, glossary, and analysis of why efforts to restore peace have continually failed and what it will take to succeed.

    In the 1970s, more than a million young people moved to farms and communes all over the U.S. There was a war on, and they wanted no part of it. This is a book about those days and one of those communes, told by Peter Gould, one of Vermont's master storytellers, known for decades to fans of Burnt Toast, Gould & Stearns, A Peasant of El Salvador, and Write Naked. 
    Horse-Drawn Yogurt is an exquisite memoir of a special time: the years of the back-to-the-land movement. But it is also a magical, unfolding mystery. What could this peculiar title mean? There's one way to find out. 
    "Peter's tone-perfect narratives capture the danger, the disappointments, the joys of living a life of meaning...and the thrill of expanding the heart's perimeter to include everyone you meet. Horse-Drawn Yogurt is a great read by a fine writer. It's glorious!" -Peter Coyote  
     "Gould's prose is so intimate that you trust every word." -Yvonne Daley 
     "Vivid, honest, and well-written, not only informative but it's an important part of Vermont history." -The Brattleboro Reformer
