 The Right Carb: How to Enjoy Carbs with Over 50 Simple, Nutritious Recipes for Good Health by Nicola Graimes English | ISBN: 1911663208 | 180 pages | EPUB | January 1, 2021 | 31 Mb  Rudolf Steiner, "The Renewal of Education" English | 2002 | ISBN: 0880104554 | 224 pages | PDF | 0.994 MB Following a lecture of November 27, 1919 requested by the Basel Department of Education, sixty members of the audience invited Rudolf Steiner to return and deliver a complete lecture course on his approach to education. These lectures are the result. Rudolf Steiner begins by outlining the gradual development of the child with the help of spiritual forces and enlightened educational practices, which form the basis for Steiner's approach to education. He describes the problems that modern educators face and provides practical solutions. Steiner explains the effects of morality on real freedom and how the development of a child's will leads to a free, flexible ability to think. He describes the life-long effects that teachers have on children through the ways they teach in the early grades. The subjects of these lectures cover a broad range, from the threefold nature of the human being to the teacher's responsibility toward their students' future; from arts such as music and eurythmy to the problems involved in training teachers; from zoology and botany to language, geography, and history. Like many of Steiner's lectures to public audiences, these are accessible and practical and provide a real overview to his ideas for renewing modern education.  The Puzzle Instinct: The Meaning of Puzzles in Human Life By Marcel Danesi 2002 | 282 Pages | ISBN: 0253340942 | PDF | 19 MB This book is great fun to read and highly informative. --Raymond Smullyan ''This is a delightful and fascinating book that will surely appeal to anyone who is fascinated by, or infuriated by, mental puzzles.'' --Keith Devlin Why are humans fascinated by puzzles? Puzzle-addict and renowned communication theorist Marcel Danesi takes readers on an exploration of the philosophical implications of the puzzle instinct. Puzzles are as old as humanity and the human instinct for puzzles betrays the larger perpetual search for meaning to life. Danesi not only has included many in this book to puzzle over, he explores why we like to puzzle over them as well. Among the smaller puzzles in this book are the solutions to some much larger puzzles: What is the raison dГўetre that puzzles serve, why did they emerge at the same time in history as myth, magic and the occult arts, and why canГўt we put them down.  Jeffery Combs, "The Procrastination Cure: 7 Steps To Stop Putting Life Off" English | ISBN: 1601631995 | 2011 | 224 pages | MOBI | 1367 KB 20 percent of people admit to being procrastinators and an untold number never admit to it at all. Procrastination is an epidemic that can only be eliminated if the underlying causes are uncovered. Yet there's very little understanding of how to let go of procrastination, how to recognize and diffuse the feelings that lead to it, and most importantly, how to develop the ability to both produce and relax without guilt.  Belgrade Circle, Obrad Savic, Terry Eagleton, "The Politics of Human Rights" English | 2000 | ISBN:1859847277, 1859843735 | 370 pages | PDF | 29.4 MB This volume sets out to describe the political and philosophical underpinnings of the idea of human rights by bringing together a collection of original essays by a group of highly distinguished theorists. Recognizing that Western insistence on the universality of the concept of human rights can also function as diplomatic cover for post-colonial interventions, it insists that the campaign for human rights must take into account the varied social and economic environments in different nation states that affect the ways such demands can be implemented. This campaign is most effective when demonstrating international solidarity with those whose basic rights are jeopardized or denied.
 The Philosophy of Mathematics: Translated from Cours de Philosophie Positive by W. M. Gillespie By Auguste Comte 2005 | 284 Pages | ISBN: 0486442497 | PDF | 20 MB Written by the nineteenth-century French philosophical founder of positivism, this comprehensive map of mathematical science assigns to each part of the complex whole its true position and value.

Daniel Borzutzky, "The Performance of Becoming Human" English | 2016 | ISBN: 1936767465 | 98 pages | EPUB | 0.283 MB Following in the path of his acclaimed collections The Book of Interfering Bodies (Nightboat, 2011) and In the Murmurs of the Rotten Carcass Economy (Nightboat, 2015), Daniel Borzutzky returns to confront the various ways nation-states and their bureaucracies absorb and destroy communities and economies. In The Performance of Becoming Human, the bay of Valparaiso merges into the western shore of Lake Michigan, where Borzutzky continues his poetic investigation into the political and economic violence shared by Chicago and Chile, two places integral to his personal formation. To become human is to navigate borders, including the fuzzy borders of institutions, the economies of privatization, overdevelopment, and underdevelopment, under which humans endure state-sanctioned and systemic abuses in cities, villages, deserts. Borzutzky, whose writing Eileen Myles has described as "violent, perverse, and tender" in its portrayal of a "kaleidoscopic journey of American horror and global horror," adds another chapter to a growing and important compendium of work that asks what it means to a be both a unitedstatesian and a globalized subject whose body is "shared between the earth, the state, and the bank."  The New Business Road Test: What entrepreneurs and investors should do before launching a lean start-up by John Mullins English | 2018 | ISBN: 1292208392 | 362 Pages | true EPUB | 2.58 MB  The New Basics: Education and the Future of Work in the Telematic Age By David D. Thornburg 2002 | 130 Pages | ISBN: 0871206560 | PDF | 2 MB The increasing globalization of work--coupled with rapid advancements in communications technology--is making age-old teaching methods irrelevant. To thrive in the plugged-in future workplace, students today need to learn a whole new set of fundamental skills. According to David Thornburg, we are on the cusp of a completely new era. The conventions of interoffice hierarchies, deskbound workers, and long-term employment contracts will quickly give way to a ''telematic'' model of work, in which workers are free to hop from client to client and country to country at the speed of a DSL connection. Today's curriculum is predicated on yesterday's realities, and must be reexamined to better reflect the digital age. This book explores The foundations of the future economy, The characteristics needed to succeed in the emerging world, and The changes we need to make in education to ensure that all students leave school prepared to face the challenges of a redefined world. The New Basics: Education and the Future of Work in the Telematic Age provides an in-depth discussion of the skills necessary for professional success in the coming years, along with strategies on how best to teach them in the classroom. Filled to capacity with visionary observations, practical suggestions for innovative instruction, and engaging discussions of the historical precedents for remodeled curriculum, this book is essential for those seeking to address the pressing issues of the new millennium. |
