Summary

Medieval Universities explores the origins and impact of these unique institutions of higher education during the Middle Ages. Emerging from a fragmented post-Roman Europe, universities played a pivotal role in preserving classical knowledge, developing new disciplines like law and medicine, and shaping Western thought. These centers weren't merely repositories of ancient texts; for example, they actively adapted classical knowledge to contemporary needs and standardized curricula, fostering a culture of intellectual debate that laid the groundwork for modern academic disciplines. The book examines the university as a distinct social and intellectual entity, the curriculum and methods of instruction, and the impact of universities on the development of law, medicine, and philosophy. It begins by setting the stage with the social, political, and intellectual climate of the High Middle Ages.

 
Subsequent chapters delve into the history of specific institutions like Bologna, Paris, and Oxford, examining their unique contributions, the curriculum of the medieval university, and culminating with an analysis of the lasting impact of medieval universities on the development of modern science, law, and education.

The Sex You Want - A Shameless...

Rena Martine

When it comes to relationships, our society has plenty of expectations. We're supposed to know how to speak up for ourselves in bed, be caring partners, and, of course, love ourselves first. But no one tells us how to actually do all those things, and we are left feeling unsatisfied, confused, and ashamed when we don't measure up. Former Deputy District Attorney Rena Martine was in that position. After rejecting the ideal white-picket fence life, she embarked on a journey to redefine intimacy in a way that felt true. In the years that followed, Rena defied all of society's sexual norms, built a presence as a global women's intimacy coach, and created the intimate life she craved. 
 
 
 
Now she brings those experiences to you! With no-holds-barred honesty, stories from real-life women, and sparkling humor, The Sex You Want will help you: build a secure relationship with your most important partner—yourself; get in touch with your expectations for relationships so you can date more intentionally; demystify lifestyle practices outside of the heterosexual-monogamous-vanilla box with frank discussions of female sexual fluidity, kink, and ethical non-monogamy; find apps, products, and communities to satisfy any curiosity; and bring deep intimacy and exciting variety into your bedroom and beyond.
