Sinossi

Thomas Babington Macaulay's "The History of England from the Accession of James II" (Vol. 1-5) offers a sweeping narrative that explores the political, social, and cultural transformations in England from 1685 to the Glorious Revolution of 1688. Macaulay's prose is both vibrant and penetrating, marked by a blend of rigorous historical analysis and vivid storytelling that brings to life the complex interplay of power and society. His work is set against the backdrop of the rising importance of political parties, the evolution of constitutional monarchy, and the profound religious conflicts of the late 17th century, providing readers with an intricate understanding of this pivotal era in British history. Macaulay, a Scottish historian and politician, drew extensively from his own experiences as a Whig, championing liberal ideas and parliamentary reform. His background in law and literature profoundly influenced his writing style and historical interpretations. Notably, Macaulay's tenure in the English Parliament and debates on social progress shaped his views regarding the role of the individual in shaping history, granting his account a uniquely introspective lens on the struggles faced during this turbulent period. Readers passionate about history will find Macaulay's work an indispensable resource. His deft combination of narrative flair and analytical depth not only illuminates the nuances of a crucial period in English history but also captivates with its timeless relevance to themes of governance and liberty. This magnum opus is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the roots of modern England.

    Does your dog get sad when you leave for the day? Does your cat purr because she loves you? Do bears attack when they’re angry? You can’t very well ask them.  
 
In fact, scientists haven’t been able to reach a consensus on whether animals even have emotions like humans do, let alone how to study them. Yet studies of animal emotion are critical for understanding human emotion and mental illness. 
 
In The Nature of the Beast, pioneering neuroscientist David J. Anderson describes a new approach to solving this problem. He and his colleagues have figured out how to study the brain activity of animals as they navigate real-life scenarios, like  
fleeing a predator or competing for a mate. His research has revolutionized what we know about animal fear and aggression. Here, he explains what studying emotions and related internal brain states in animals can teach us about human  
behavior, offering new insights into why isolation makes us more aggressive, how sex and violence connect, and whether there’s a link between aggression and mental illness. 
 
Full of fascinating stories, The Nature of the Beast reconceptualizes how the brain regulates emotions—and explains why we have them at all.

    Children’s future successes depend on developing the abilities to innovate, be resilient in the face of their mistakes, problem-solve creatively, and collaborate with peers effectively. However, standard American educational practices—stressing memorization, grades, and testing—are failing to foster these skills. There is one complete system of education that effectively supports the natural development of such essential abilities: Montessori. Montessori education expert Paula Lillard Preschlack offers a clear explanation of how the Montessori approach helps children. By looking closely at authentic Montessori practices, she shows the tight correlation between the Montessori system in action and children practicing and strengthening the very traits they will need for adulthood.

    Absolute Tao - Subtle is the way...

    Moving beyond the usual interpretations of this classic Chinese text - that of using it as an indicator of what to do next or attempting to predict the future - Osho is using the Tao Te Ching as Lao Tzu intended: to ignite the flame of individual awareness and insight. His commentaries on these seven verses burn through every idea we may hold about ourselves until we can see with the same crystal-clear light as Lao Tzu.
Tao, like Osho, is the way of wholeness: not dividing or denying anything, simply remaining choiceless and aware. You will find yourself listening to this series as if it were a waterfall; as you listen, you will come to understand the emptiness that puts us in touch with the eternal and makes bliss and ecstasy possible.
