Champion, "Dorotheus of Gaza and Ascetic Education " English | ISBN: 0198869266 | 2022 | 272 pages | MOBI | 2 MB Dorotheus of Gaza and Ascetic Education approaches fundamental questions about the role and function of education in late antiquity through a detailed study of the thought of Dorotheus of Gaza, a sixth-century Palestinian monk. It illumines the thought of a significant figure in Palestinian monasticism, clarifies relationships between ascetic and classical education, and contributes to debates about how different educational projects related to late-antique cultural change. Dorotheus appropriates and reconfigures classical discourses of rhetoric, philosophy, and medicine and builds on earlier ascetic traditions. Education is a powerful site for the reconfiguration and reproduction of culture, and Dorotheus' educational programme can be read as a microcosm of the wider culture he aims to construct partly through his adaptation and representation of classical and ascetic discourses. Key features of his educational programme include the role of the notion of godlikeness, the governing role of humility as an epistemic virtue intended to organize affective and ethical development, and his notion of education as life-long habituation. For Dorotheus, education is irreducibly affective and transformative rather than merely informative at the individual and communal scales. His epistemology and ethics are set within an account of the divine plan of salvation which is intended to provide a narrative framework through which his students come to understand the world and their place in it. His account of ways of knowing and ordering knowledge, ethics and moral development, emotions of education, and relationships between affect, cognition, and ethical action aims towards transformation of his students and their communities. ![]() Dori for Visual Design Prompts: PromptOS Basics, Visual Control Packs, and Quality Gates for Production-Ready Design Outputs (Dori Prompt Series) by Mustafa Al-Dori English | 2026 | ASIN: B0GK131SXL | 159 pages | pdf | 45 MB ![]() Friedrich Schiller, "Don Carlos and Mary Stuart " English | ISBN: 0199540748 | 2008 | 359 pages | MOBI | 628 KB Don Carlos and Mary Stuart, two of German literature's greatest historical dramas, deal with the timeless issues of power, freedom, and justice.

Do You Remember House? tells a comprehensive story of the emergence, and contemporary memorialization of house in Chicago, tracing the development of Chicago house music culture from its beginnings in the late '70s to the present. Based on expansive research in archives and his extensive conversations with the makers of house in Chicago's parks, clubs, museums, and dance studios, author Micah Salkind argues that the remediation and adaptation of house music by crossover communities in its first decade shaped the ways that Chicago producers, DJs, dancers, and promoters today re-remember and mobilize the genre as an archive of collectivity and congregation. ![]() Sharrona Pearl, "Do I Know You?: From Face Blindness to Super Recognition" English | ISBN: 1421447533 | 2023 | 232 pages | MOBI | 3 MB A fascinating history of how we recognize faces―or fail to recognize them. ![]() Sharrona Pearl, "Do I Know You?: From Face Blindness to Super Recognition" English | ISBN: 1421447533 | 2023 | 232 pages | AZW3 | 3 MB A fascinating history of how we recognize faces―or fail to recognize them. ![]() Django 6.0 Simplified: A Beginner-Friendly Guide to Understanding Core Concepts, Building Real-World Web Applications, and Mastering Modern Features Step by Step by Francis C.
