Sinossi

Written in a moment of personal exile and political disillusion, Dialogues is one of Seneca’s most profound explorations of the human condition. Through a series of philosophical essays addressed to friends and pupils, Seneca reflects on anger, grief, happiness, the brevity of life, and the pursuit of inner freedom. Rooted in Stoic thought yet strikingly modern in tone, these texts confront the anxieties of power, ambition, and suffering with lucid reasoning and moral clarity. Seneca does not offer abstract theory, but practical wisdom: philosophy as a guide for living, meant to strengthen the soul against fortune and fear. More than nineteen centuries after they were written, the Dialogues remain a compelling invitation to self-examination, moderation, and resilience. They speak to anyone seeking calm in uncertainty, dignity in adversity, and a life governed by reason rather than impulse. A cornerstone of Stoic philosophy and a timeless companion for readers in every age.Lucius Annaeus Seneca (c. 4 BCE – 65 CE) was a Roman philosopher, statesman, and playwright, and one of the leading figures of Stoic philosophy. Born in Corduba (modern Córdoba, Spain), he was educated in Rome and became a prominent intellectual and political figure under the Roman Empire. As tutor and later advisor to Emperor Nero, Seneca lived at the center of power while advocating reason, self-control, and moral integrity. His philosophical works—especially the Dialogues and Letters to Lucilius—combine rigorous Stoic thought with practical guidance on how to face suffering, anger, wealth, and death. Forced to commit suicide after being implicated in a political conspiracy, Seneca died as he had lived: with composure and philosophical resolve. His writings remain among the most influential and accessible texts of ancient philosophy.

But deep down inside, there’s often another story at play―one of overwhelm, stress and heartache, of finding ourselves stuck in old patterns. Rather than feeling the weight of it all, it’s easier to spend our days on autopilot, ignoring the noise inside.But what if the peace and relief we most long for comes from tuning in with what’s happening inside, instead of tuning it out?Join therapist Anna Christine (A.C.)

    Or do you know of a woman who has difficulties in her social life because of ADHD and you would wish to be of help to them?

To cope successfully, understanding the condition is crucial. Many with ADHD fall into negative thinking, attributing difficulties to laziness.

    After being called up for National Service in July 1960, twenty-year-old Chas Hall joined the RAF and signed on to extend his time for an extra three years becoming a regular serviceman. Following initial training, he became a wireless operator and served at RAF Mildenhall. It was shortly after this that he got his first foreign posting in late 1961 to Christmas Island. It was on this island, that Chas encountered the horrors of nuclear testing. In an operation codenamed "Brigadoon" by the British government and "Dominic" by the Americans, Chas experienced twenty-five atmospheric nuclear tests. This he describes as his "twelve-month sentence" alongside over 300 British and 10,000 American servicemen who were posted to one corner of a remote coral island. Facing Armageddon reveals the true extent of the controversial nuclear testing and how it affected servicemen; with twenty-five men dying during Chas's time on Christmas Island and many more suffering mentally as they continued serving on the island. With the British government announcing medals for nuclear test veterans in November 2022 to recognize their contribution in the tests after a four-year campaign by participants and The Mirror newspaper, Chas's story gives insight to why these servicemen deserve the recognition for their part in these tests.

    “Tells the story of anger, disillusionment, and determination of Americans to develop a political movement to fight chemical pollution . . . timely.” —The Huffington PostThis book, named one of Booklist’s Top 10 books on sustainability in 2014, is the first to offer a comprehensive examination of the environmental health movement, which unlike many parts of the environmental movement, focuses on ways toxic chemicals and other hazardous agents in the environment effect human health and well-being. Born in 1978 when Lois Gibbs organized her neighbors to protest the health effects of a toxic waste dump in Love Canal, New York, the movement has spread across the United States and throughout the world. By placing human health at the center of its environmental argument, this movement has achieved many victories in community mobilization and legislative reform. In The Rise of the U.S. Environmental Health Movement, environmental health expert Kate Davies describes the movement’s historical, ideological, and cultural roots and analyzes its strategies and successes.“Kate Davies’ excellent book focuses on the role of health in the environmental health movement and encourages us to consider its origins and accomplishments . . . The Rise of the U.S. Environmental Health Movement looks both back and forward to challenge us to consider our current direction. In the future this book will provide readers with an important perspective on how the environmental health movement shaped our society.” —Toxipedia“A well-done history of America’s environmental health movement . . . offers readers valuable information on how grassroots organizing prevents harm from toxic exposures and leads to safe and healthy communities.” —Lois Marie Gibbs, Executive Director, Center for Health, Environment & Justice
