  China and the Chinese

  Herbert Allen Giles (1845-1935) spent several years as a diplomat in China and in 1897 was appointed Cambridge University’s second professor of Chinese. His published works cover Chinese language and literature, history and philosophy. 
  This series of lectures, published as “China and the Chinese”, was given at Columbia University in 1902, to mark the establishment of a Chinese professorship there. The lectures were not intended for the specialist, more to urge a wider and more systematic study of China and its culture, and to encourage new students into the field. 
  While many of the observations are just as relevant today, others will remind us how much China has changed since the period of the Manchu Qing dynasty in which he wrote.(summary by David Barnes)

  Defence of Idealism

  May Sinclair

  The philosophy of Idealism, revived in eighteenth-century Europe by George Berkeley, argued against philosophical materialism by maintaining that Reality is a creation of the Mind. Despite its flourishing under the leadership of Hegel, Fichte, Schopenhauer, and Schelling, Idealism had definitely fallen into decline late in the nineteenth century and early in the twentieth. May Sinclair, the writer of many popular but philosophically provocative novels and part-time World War I ambulance corps-person, was an unlikely one to take up the torch of the old school and try to revive it yet again for the twentieth century. Most notably, in this treatise she tried to formulate a union of Idealistic Monism with the New Realism as epitomized by Bertrand Russell and his mathematics-based philosophy. How successful she was is a matter for the reader to judge, but this volume and its sequel (The New Idealism) provide fascinating insights into the mind of Sinclair herself, helping the twenty-first century reader better to understand this highly significant author as she wrote in the very midst of the Great War. - Summary by Expatriate

  ""A must-read for any woman who is ready to design a life on her own terms.” – Sophia Amoruso, Founder and CEO, Girlboss 
  Women: it’s time to break the good girl myths that are holding you back and share your true gifts with this groundbreaking book from Stanford University-trained designer and women’s leadership expert Majo Molfino. 
  For thousands of years, women have been taught to be “good” instead of powerful. But when we embody the good girl, we hold back their voices and gifts in a world that desperately needs female perspectives.  
  Drawing on countless coaching sessions and conversations with female leaders, Majo identifies five self-sabotaging tendencies (“the five Good Girl Myths”) every woman must overcome to unleash her power and design a more purposeful life: The Myth of Rules 
  The Myth of Perfection 
  The Myth of Logic 
  The Myth of Harmony 
  The Myth of Sacrifice 
  While there are many women’s leadership books, Majo uses her knowledge and training in design thinking (which is used by the world’s most innovative people and companies) to help you build creative confidence and break free from these disempowering myths once and for all.  
  Discover how each myth negatively affects your relationships, career, and well-being and identify your primary good girl myth – the blindspot that’s zapping most of your power as a creative badass.  
  If you’re a woman who can’t seem to get your voice or ideas out into the world, Break the Good Girl Myth will finally help you understand why and light the way out so you can become the woman you’re meant to be.   
  Your time – our time – is now.

  The Warren Report - The Murder...

  In delving into the examination of the Warren Report, a narrative unfolds, revealing a tapestry of controversies and criticisms that have woven doubt into the fabric of its conclusions. The central pillar of contention revolves around the report's assertion that Lee Harvey Oswald, acting alone, was the sole perpetrator behind the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. 
   
  As the report posits Oswald as the lone gunman, dissenting voices rise, challenging the simplicity of this conclusion. Critics argue that the investigation failed to adequately explore alternative theories that propose the involvement of multiple assailants. This fundamental disagreement casts a shadow over the narrative crafted by the Warren Commission. 
   
  A particularly contentious element within the report is the infamous "magic bullet" theory. This theory contends that a single bullet traversed through both Kennedy and Texas Governor John Connally, causing seven wounds in the process. Detractors find this scenario implausible, citing the trajectory and the severity of the injuries as evidence that contradicts the narrative woven by the commission. 
  The narrative takes a twist as the completeness of the investigation comes under scrutiny. Critics contend that key witnesses were left uninterrogated, and crucial pieces of evidence remained inadequately examined. The suggestion that the commission may have overlooked vital information introduces an air of skepticism surrounding the integrity of the narrative.
