Synopsis

In "SOCRATES: The Man Behind the Myth," Xenophon offers a penetrating examination of the philosophical figure of Socrates, presenting a narrative that combines biographical detail with insightful philosophical discourse. Written in a straightforward, engaging style characteristic of Xenophon's works, this text confronts both the mythologized image of Socrates and the complexities of his thought. Xenophon, as a contemporary of Socrates, provides a compelling first-hand perspective on the Socratic method, ethics, and his interactions with Athenian society, making this work not only a biographical account but also a vital philosophical resource. Xenophon himself, an Athenian historian, soldier, and student of Socrates, draws upon his own experiences and observations to illuminate the character and teachings of the philosopher. Having lived through the turmoil of the Peloponnesian War, Xenophon's reflections are informed by a context of political instability and moral inquiry, allowing him to capture the essence of Socrates's pursuit of virtue and truth amidst chaos. His deep reverence for Socratic philosophy and his desire to set the record straight highlight the richness of their intellectual relationship. For those seeking a nuanced understanding of Socrates beyond the dramatized portrayals of later sources, Xenophon's work is an indispensable resource. This book invites readers to engage with Socratic thought through the lens of a student who not only admired him but also sought to preserve his legacy. Scholars and casual readers alike will find in this text a valuable exploration of moral philosophy that remains relevant today.

Raising an Oppositional Child...

Eunice Churchill

Raising children is never an easy task; as many parents will tell you, it is a lifetime commitment and one that can sometimes be thankless. Now, raising a neuro-divergent child makes parenting several times more challenging. 
Neuro-divergence is the difference in brain function from what we consider standard or typical. A neuro-divergent child shows different mental characteristics from what would be considered typical, called neuro-typical. ODD and ADHD are two examples of neuro-divergent disorders that are common among the population. 
Raising a child with an ODD and ADHD combination is infinitely more challenging than usual and requires greater tact and patience. Children with ODD and ADHD often show developmental problems, defiance of authority, disregard for what is considered normal, and, if not checked, can develop problems in their social life. 
So, if you are wondering:What exactly are ODD and ADHDHow do I tell the difference between the two?What behavioral problems do the two disorders display? 
And other similar questions, then read on. 
This book will cover:What ODD and ADHD are?How ODD with ADHD presents itself.Behavioral problems that an oppositional child displaysLearning how to raise a child with ODD and ADHD combined 
And so much more. 
I hope you enjoy it!

The Meaning of Truth

William James

The Meaning of Truth by William James is a collection of essays exploring the nature of truth through the lens of pragmatism. James argues that truth is not a fixed, abstract concept but rather a practical relationship between ideas and their consequences. He proposes that the "truth" of an idea lies in its ability to guide action and produce positive results in the world. This pragmatic approach to truth contrasts with traditional philosophical views that often emphasize the correspondence between ideas and reality.

Chinese History - A...

Kelly Mass

This is a book combo with the following topics: 
Ancient China: It’s hard to cover all of China’s vast history in a short book, but for the sake of leaving out details, we will still give it a try. In this guide, you will be able to learn more about the most important turning events, eras, dynasties, leaders, wars, and cultural aspects of ancient China. Ancient China has different historic periods. The first we will talk about in this book is the Xia Dynasty. And after that, others will be dealt with, as they were the ages that followed that. Then we will discuss the Shang and Zhou dynasty. Enjoy! 
Portuguese Macau: Macau is known as the Las Vegas of China. It attracts many tourists every year, and it has a unique set of laws and history behind it. How did it become this way? Well, one of the reasons is that it used to be part of the Portuguese Empire. We have probably all heard about the British in China, the Opium Wars, and the tea export, but you might not have heard about the Portuguese settlers who went there. Macau still shows signs of Portuguese influence, even when you go there to visit. So, let’s take a look at what happened and how the area evolved into what it is today.
