Sinopse

"The Fable of The Bees" is a book by Bernard Mandeville. It consists of"The Grumbling Hive"; and an essay, "An Enquiry into the Origin of Moral Virtue".  In "The Grumbling Hive", the author describes a bee community that thrives until the bees decide to live by honesty and virtue. As they abandon their desire for personal gain, the economy of their hive collapses, and they go on to live simple, "virtuous" lives in a hollow tree. Mandeville implied that people were hypocrites for espousing rigorous ideas about virtue and vice while they failed to act according to those beliefs in their private lives. The Fable influenced ideas about the division of labour and the free market (laissez-faire), and the philosophy of utilitarianism was advanced as Mandeville's critics, in defending their views of virtue, also altered them. His work influenced Scottish Enlightenment thinkers such as Francis Hutcheson, David Hume and Adam Smith.

    A handsome, commemorative edition of Peter F. Drucker’s timeless classic work on leadership and management, with a foreword by Jim Collins. 
    What makes an effective executive? 
    For decades, Peter F. Drucker was widely regarded as ""the dean of this country’s business and management philosophers"" (Wall Street Journal). In this concise and brilliant work, he looks to the most influential position in management—the executive.  
    The measure of the executive, Drucker reminds us, is the ability to ""get the right things done."" This usually involves doing what other people have overlooked as well as avoiding what is unproductive. Intelligence, imagination, and knowledge may all be wasted in an executive job without the acquired habits of mind that mold them into results. 
    Drucker identifies five practices essential to business effectiveness that can—and must—be mastered:Managing time;Choosing what to contribute to the organization;Knowing where and how to mobilize strength for best effect;Setting the right priorities;Knitting all of them together with effective decision-making 
    Ranging across the annals of business and government, Drucker demonstrates the distinctive skill of the executive and offers fresh insights into old and seemingly obvious business situations.

    Education is often considered the most important tool for personal success and societal progress, promising to equip individuals with the knowledge and skills needed to navigate the complexities of life. It is believed to be the key to opportunity, growth, and empowerment. Yet, when we take a closer look at the state of modern education, we find a different reality—a system that is increasingly failing to meet the needs of today’s learners and society as a whole. Behind the promise of a well-rounded, enriching education lies a structure that often stifles creativity, disregards individuality, and fails to prepare students for the rapidly changing world around them. 
      
    At its core, the modern education system is built on an outdated framework that prioritizes uniformity and standardization over adaptability and critical thinking. The methods used to educate students today were designed in the industrial era, when the focus was on producing workers for factories rather than nurturing creative thinkers, innovators, and problem-solvers. While the world has evolved in countless ways since then—especially with the rise of technology and globalization—the classroom has remained largely unchanged. The result is a system that no longer serves the needs of diverse learners and, in many cases, actively hinders their potential. 
      
    This book aims to explore the hidden truths about modern education, shedding light on the deep-rooted issues that have long been overlooked or ignored. From the rise of standardized testing to the growing influence of corporate interests, we will examine how these forces have reshaped education into something that prioritizes compliance and efficiency over genuine learning and personal growth.

    Men are commonly expected to act "masculine" (e.g., self-sufficient, stoic, strong, dependable, brave, tough, and hard-working) while avoiding stereotypically "feminine" traits (e.g., emotional expressivity, empathy, and nurturance). Few, however, realize that these qualities—when taken to the extreme—can cause emotional constriction, substance abuse, depression, aggression, and violence in many men. Further, even though most men are not violent, decades of research has shown that masculinity is distinctly related to sexual and gun violence and men's poorer health. Considering how girls and women have benefited from decades of conversations on navigation of their gender in a changing world, similar processes are urgently needed for boys and men. The Tough Standard connects the dots between masculinity and the present moment in American culture (defined by high-profile movements such as Me Too, March for Our Lives, and Black Lives Matter), synthesizes over four decades of research in the psychology of men and masculinities, and proposes solutions to corresponding social problems.

    A photo-filled history of the world-renowned medical center, based on the award-winning PBS documentary by Ken Burns, Erik Ewers, and Christopher Loren Ewers.   On September 30, 1889, W.W. Mayo and his sons Will and Charlie performed the very first operation at a brand-new Catholic hospital in Rochester, Minnesota. It was called Saint Mary’s. The hospital was born out of the devastation of a tornado that had struck the town six years earlier, after which Mother Alfred Moes of the Sisters of Saint Francis told the Mayos that she had a vision of building a hospital that would “become world renowned for its medical arts.”   Based on the film by acclaimed documentary filmmaker Ken Burns, The Mayo Clinic: Faith, Hope, Science chronicles the history of this unique organization, from its roots as an unlikely partnership between a country doctor and a Franciscan order of nuns to its position today as a worldwide model for patient care, research, and education. Featuring more than 400 compelling archival and modern images, as well as the complete script from the film, the book demonstrates how the institution’s remarkable history continues to inspire the way medicine is practiced there today.   In addition, case studies reveal patients, doctors, and nurses in their most private moments as together they face difficult diagnoses and embark on uncertain treatments. The film and this companion book tell the story of an organization that has managed to stay true to its primary value: The needs of the patient come first. Together they make an important contribution to the critical discussions about the delivery of health care today in America—and the world.
