Sinopsis

In 'The Russian Story Book,' Richard Wilson breathes new life into the rich tapestry of Russian folklore, presenting a meticulously curated collection of tales that transcends mere entertainment to offer a profound glimpse into the cultural psyche. With a narrative style that marries the traditional oral storytelling cadence with a modern sensibility, Wilson's work captures the grandeur of Russia's mythical past. The book is interspersed with detailed illustrations that animate heroes and the mysticism surrounding them, set against the backdrop of the perennial struggle between valor and cunning. Against a literary context that includes the works of Afanasyev and Tolstoy's folk stories, Wilson's compendium stands out for its accessible language and cultural fidelity, invoking archetypal themes and motifs that resonate with the universal human experience.

Richard Wilson, an erudite writer, and connoisseur of Slavic mythologies, employs his profound understanding of Russian ethos to craft this compelling anthology. Wilson's interest likely stems from a deep engagement with folklore studies and a passion for the oral traditions that shape national identities. His retellings showcase a deliberate focus on the recurring themes of heroism, resourcefulness, and the mystique of treasure—a reflection on the historical emphasis on glory and wealth in Russian culture. The author's approach suggests a deliberate intention to bridge the gap between academia and the casual reader, rendering the complexities of folklore into palatable narratives.

'The Russian Story Book' is recommended for anyone with an appetite for myth and a curiosity about the world beyond familiar borders. It promises to delight those with a penchant for heroic epics and folk stories, inviting readers to partake in the feasts and follies of a world steeped in magic and moral lore. The book is an indispensable addition to the library of aficionados of cultural studies, comparative mythology, or simply those in pursuit of a captivating read. Wilson's retellings are more than tales; they are a passage through time, inviting us to comprehend the indomitable spirit that has shaped and endured in the Russian soul.

The Truth About Lying - Teaching...

PhD Victoria Talwar

All children lie. But when your child lies to you, it can feel like a personal betrayal. 
 
    
 
Lying is a healthy and inevitable part of child development. But when do lies become a problem? In this book, psychologist Victoria Talwar, director of the Talwar Child Development Lab at McGill University, presents practical, science-based strategies to address lying and foster truthfulness in children, from early childhood to the teenage years. 
 
  
  
Kids need to learn what honesty looks like in different social situations, and also how to tell the truth in ways that do not hurt others' feelings—a complicated task! Parents and caregivers will learn how to use stories and examples to have proactive conversations with children about honesty, and how to model honest behavior for children. Talwar shows listeners how to respond effectively when a child lies (as they inevitably will). Backed by years of psychological research, this common-sense, practical guide reveals which parenting strategies promote truthfulness in children—and which ones don't.

Lies My Liberal Teacher Told Me...

Wilfred Reilly

A college professor debunks the myths that have infiltrated America's school curricula. 
In 1995, James W. Loewen penned the classic work of criticism Lies My Teacher Told Me, a left-leaning corrective that addressed much of what was sanitized and omitted from American history books. 
But in the decades that followed, false leftist narratives—as wrong as those they supplanted—have come to dominate American academia and education. Now, in the same spirit but updated for 2024, Wilfred Reilly demolishes the scholastic myths propagated by the left, uncovers fresh angles on “established” events, and turns what we think we know about history upside down. Among the popular lies he debunks:“The ‘Red Scare’ was a moral panic that caught no commies”“Native Americans were peaceful people who spent all day dancing”“European colonialism was—empirically—a no-good, terrible, very bad thing”“The racist ‘Southern Strategy’ turned the South Republican”“The Vietnam War was unpopular and pointless” 
 
Lies My Liberal Teacher Told Me sets the record straight on many of these myths, explaining that there actually were communists in Hollywood; that many Native American tribes were cannibals, owned slaves and made them march the Trail of Tears with them; and that history, while almost always bad for Black Americans, was much worse for all of us than we tend to think it was.  
Smart, irreverent, and deeply researched, Lies My Liberal Teacher Told Me will revolutionize your understanding of history and reveal a new and refreshing way to teach and think about the past.
