Beschreibung

In the engaging and meticulously detailed "Diary of Samuel Pepys — Complete 1664 N.S," the famed diarist presents a vivid glimpse into 17th-century England, capturing the political, cultural, and personal upheavals of his time. Pepys's literary style is characterized by a candid and often conversational tone, employing an accessible yet richly descriptive prose that immerses readers in daily life. The entries from 1664 particularly elucidate the nuances of post-Restoration England, documenting significant events such as the Great Plague and the intricacies of court life, thereby situating the work in a broader historical context that highlights the societal shifts occurring during this tumultuous period. Samuel Pepys (1633-1703) was a naval administrator and Member of Parliament, who adeptly navigated the complex socio-political landscape of his era. His background in the civil service and his keen observation skills enriched his writings, as he meticulously chronicled everything from the mundane to the monumental. Pepys's insatiable curiosity about the world around him is apparent in his reflections on personal experiences, relationships, and the cultural phenomena of the day, making his diary an invaluable primary source for historians and literature enthusiasts alike. "Diary of Samuel Pepys — Complete 1664 N.S" is highly recommended for readers who seek a deep understanding of historical narrative intertwined with personal reflection. Pepys's unique perspective offers unparalleled insights into the thoughts and feelings of a man who lived through remarkable events, making this work not only significant for its historical content but also for its enduring literary value.

    In a time of dire need, as climate change, conflict, and economic upheaval imperil our existence and our mental well-being deteriorates from not utilising our minds as God intended, Francis Keith Robins introduces a groundbreaking approach to saving humanity – reshaping our thought processes through mathematics.
     
    In his book, The Fourth Coming, Robins provides a detailed, step-by-step guide to unlocking our inherent mathematical potential. His vision is to create a society that is inclusive, equal, and peaceful – one that aligns with God’s desire for us. He advocates for a paradigm shift where shared mathematical models and systematic thinking supplant the ineffective classes of governments and institutions currently jeopardizing our planet. This revolutionary approach aims to alter the trajectory of human history in a manner that aligns with divine intentions. 
     
    Robins’ theories, described as a work of mathematical brilliance, offer a refreshingly simple yet profound solution to consciousness – which, as noted by ‘New Scientist’, remains one of the most elusive and significant mysteries in science and philosophy. Furthermore, he concludes that the introduction of religion by God was a response to 
    humanity’s failure to use their brains as He intended.

    The United States is dogged by racism and racial disparities in income, wealth, health, education, and criminal justice. Philosophers disagree on what kind of politics is needed to address this problem. Do we pursue race-specific remedies to undo racism or do we assume the permanence of racism and opt for non-race-specific remedies in pursuit of a more egalitarian society? Paradoxically, the way to make racial progress in racist America is to downplay race. 
     
     
     
    In A Realistic Blacktopia, political philosopher Derrick Darby challenges the "small tent" approach by examining U.S. Supreme Court cases on education and voting rights arguing that they hold general lessons about the limits of racial politics. Securing racial justice in racist America calls for "big tent" remedies, and Darby argues that pursuing non-race-specific remedies with maximal democratic inclusion is a necessary strategy for mitigating racial inequality and achieving racial justice. 
     
     
     
    A Realistic Blacktopia offers clarity on how racism persists, contrary to claims that America is a post-racial society. Explaining why the myth of post-racialism cannot be ignored in crafting remedies for racial inequality, Darby supplies a principled pragmatic proposal for achieving racial justice. Darby also explains why achieving racial justice requires inclusive democracy.

    The history of the Scottish nation is full to the brim with glorious heroes and epic struggles. Throughout the centuries of its fight for independence, Scotland gave birth to some truly exceptional men and women, who went above and beyond the call of duty for the freedom of their home country. This fight for independence has ever since inspired every Scottish person - and even bolstered people all across the world. In modern times, the heroic exploits of these fierce men and women have been the subject of numerous movies and TV shows. Arguably the most famous one of these is “Braveheart”, the Hollywood portrayal of one of the greatest heroes of Scotland - William Wallace. Who was this great Scottish freedom fighter? Who was this man who willingly laid down his life for the independence of the nation into which he was born? In this book we will try to unravel the life and times of William Wallace, piecing together his puzzled and short life of struggle and war.

    TV Lobotomy The Scientific Truth...

    "TV unleashes the imagination and feeds intelligence." • "A child deprived of TV risks social isolation." • "TV dumbs you down." • "TV makes you obese." It seems that everything—and its opposite—has already been said about TV. But what is it really? How can we distinguish between the radical "No TV" of some and the supposedly entertaining virtues touted by others? Michel Desmurget, a doctor in neuroscience, has sifted through and synthesized thousands of research articles published over the last fifty years in the most rigorous international journals. The conclusion is unequivocal—we must stop watching television for good, whatever the program. All content, even that meant to teach, can never come close to any other learning method. The data is clear—television viewing is detrimental to school performance. For a child in elementary school, for example, every hour spent daily watching television increases the likelihood that he or she will one day leave the school system without any qualifications. For specialists, there is no doubt that television has a negative influence, not only on intellectual development but also on behavior. Thus, certain eating disorders (anorexia, bulimia) are related to a frantic consumption of—television programs! In short, watching television has an impact on our life expectancy. However, the harmful impact of this risk is largely underestimated, because of the large sector of the public exposed to television (more than 85% of Western households have at least one television set), and because of a debate on the subject that has become inaudible and confused. Moreover, the results of the research initiated by the big media groups on the subject remain "proprietary," i.e., closed to the general public. Believing that we is facing a real public health problem, Michel Desmurget wants to act as a responsible scientist—with a clear, concise and rigorously referenced book, the message cannot go unnoticed. Michel Desmurget is a doctor of neuropsychology. He attended several major American universities (MIT, Emory, UCSF) and is now a research director at INSERM in cognitive neuroscience. He is particularly interested in the problems of brain organization and plasticity. He is the author of the book TV Lobotomy (Max Milo, 2022), which is based in part on his personal history. Exasperated by having to constantly justify the choice not to have television at home—and to prevent his children from having access to it—and not to be seen as a sociopath in the eyes of those around him, he has done a massive job to argue his point.
