Sinopse

Education and Power explores the powerful, often unseen, relationship between educational systems and societal control. It argues that education is never neutral, serving either to reinforce existing power structures or to challenge them. The text delves into how education has been historically employed for both oppression and liberation, examining instances of cultural assimilation and political control through structured curricula. One intriguing insight reveals how educational policies have profoundly impacted social mobility across different eras and locations.

 
The book progresses by first laying a conceptual foundation, introducing key ideas from the sociology of education and the history of reform movements. It then uses case studies to illustrate how education has promoted specific ideologies, suppressed dissent, and maintained social order. For example, the book analyzes education in colonial contexts, demonstrating its role in nation-building. Such analyses provide readers with a deeper understanding of power dynamics and the potential for educational reform to foster social justice and equality.

 
By focusing on the long-term consequences of educational policies, Education and Power offers a unique perspective on the intricate connections between education, history, and politics. It will appeal to anyone interested in understanding how educational systems shape social change, policy development, and the ongoing pursuit of equality.

In Mahabharata Lord Krishna had also worshipped Lord Ganesh. They have become the role models to the whole world. Before the beginning of any work it is common to worship Lord Ganesh. There are many Holy hymns on Lord Ganesh. Lord Ganesh’s favorite food is modak. 
He gets pleased if we offer Durva grass to him. He also loves red Hibiscus flower. He is called the vighnaharta because he wards off all the obstacles in our life. He is also called vighnaraja. There are infinite names to Lord Ganesh which we cannot explain. He ties a snake around his waist.

The Tyrant’s Handbook - How to...

A.A. Castor

Power does not belong to the righteous—it belongs to those ruthless enough to take it.
From the ancient empires to modern political regimes, history has been shaped not by the moral, but by the manipulative. The Tyrant's Handbook: How to Rule, Deceive, and Dominate is a cold, strategic manual that dissects the psychology of control, the art of deception, and the brutal truths of leadership.
This book explores the unspoken laws of power—how rulers condition obedience, manipulate perception, use fear and loyalty as weapons, and ensure their dominance remains unchallenged. It exposes the tactics used by tyrants, corporate leaders, and political masterminds to bend reality to their will, from rewriting history to manufacturing crises to justify greater control.
Inside, you will learn:
✔ The Psychology of Control – How to make people obey without force.
✔ The Laws of Manipulation – Why perception is stronger than truth.
✔ The Art of Deception – How lies and distractions keep rulers in power.
✔ Fear vs. Loyalty – How to balance terror and rewards for absolute control.
✔ Economic Domination – Using money, debt, and financial systems to enslave.
✔ Eliminating Opposition – The tactics for removing threats before they rise.
✔ The Theater of Rule – How politics, propaganda, and spectacle shape power.
✔ The Eternal Game – How to keep control once you have it.
Power is the only law that matters. Those who do not understand it will forever be controlled by those who do. This book is for those who refuse to be ruled.

Croton Point Park -...

Scott Craven, Caroline Ranald...

Less than an hour by train from New York City...Croton Point Park encapsulates the history, beauty and promise of the Hudson Valley. The Westchester County Park encompasses miles of Hudson River shoreline with astonishing views and remnants of the region's past. Incredible shell mounds shed light on the Native peoples who inhabited the area generations prior to European colonization. The remains of the first commercial vineyards in the Northeast are just steps away from historic brickyards that helped build Manhattan. The Point served as a dumping ground for years until local efforts restored the park into a model of environmental conservation. Today, bald eagles have returned to nest alongside visitors exploring remarkable landmarks, sailing the waters of the Hudson or enjoying a scenic picnic. Authors Scott Craven and Caroline Ranald Curvan present Westchester's crown jewel, Croton Point Park.
