Beschreibung

This book lays out, in very broad outline, Belloc's version of European economic history, starting with ancient pagan states, in which slavery was critical to the economy, through the medieval Christendom process which transformed an economy based on serf labour in a state in which the property was well distributed, to 19th and 20th century capitalism. Belloc argues that the development of capitalism was not a natural consequence of the Industrial Revolution, but a consequence of the earlier dissolution of the monasteries in England, which then shaped the course of English industrialisation. English capitalism then spread across the world.

    Many of the so-called 'canons of rigor' that are applied to scholarly work are really artificial bureaucratic stumbling blocks that have nothing to do with intellectual rigor; and when people actually internalize these bureaucratic protocols, they assume the form of neurotic compulsions that do nothing but sterilize one's intellectual work-product.

    A “moving, exciting and authentic” chronicle of the British Army’s legendary recon and raiding unit in the desert of North African during WWII (The Observer). 
     
    During its two-and-a-half years fighting in North Africa, from 1940 to 1943, the Long Range Desert Group became the acknowledged master of the desert. This small, highly mobile force made a name for itself through daring exploits and vital reconnaissance far behind enemy lines. Emerging from the depths of the desert, the LRDG would raid airfields or attack Axis lines of communication along the Mediterranean coast—then vanish, only to reappear hundreds of miles away.  
     
    First published in 1945, Long Range Desert Group is a classic of military nonfiction. With its brilliant description of the desert’s harsh beauty and its exciting chronicle of LRDG activities, it has lost none of its gripping, visceral power.

    "[This book has] a wealth of clinical and technical detail. As a primer on psychotherapeutic technique this book will. . .bring knowledge and stimulation to the most advanced technician"—Karl A. Menninger "One is continuously aware that here is a truly human being at work, human in the sense of exquisite awareness, on a profoundly intuitive level, of the workings of the human totality. . . . Because of this she can bridge the vast divide that separates us from the psychotic . . . thereby gaining access to the process of recalling the patient to his lost domain."—Louise E.

    In America, liberalism brings prosperity to the majority? False. - In America, "anything is possible" for those who work hard? False. - In America, the unemployment rate is minimal? False.
    In America, poverty is relative and the poor live "like modest Europeans?"
    False. - In America, those excluded from the health care system receive free care when they really need it? False—really false. 
    
    In an excellent investigation, with clear and relevant examples, Michel Desmurget shatters the myth of a beautiful and prosperous America where everyone can succeed as long as they are hardworking and courageous. Taking the opposite view of the current dominant discourse on the virtues of the Anglo-Saxon liberal model, the author writes a disconcerting antithesis, based on American researchers, sociologists and journalists who have studied the failures of the American model and who, for the most part, recommend surprisingly European solutions (universal social security, introduction of a minimum wage indexed to inflation, federalized education, etc.).

    If you or someone you love is facing death, this deeply compassionate series offers hope and comfort. While conversations about dying and death have become more popular in recent years, a decidedly Catholic perspective is often missing. Now, this course offers a unique approach to these conversations grounded in the Franciscan tradition. Combining historical analysis and meditations for reflection, these lectures provide you with new insights into the spiritual dimensions of dying and death. You will emerge with a deep understanding of the nature of suffering, the works of St. Francis, prayer, and much more. In 12 lectures, you will explore the writings of St. Francis of Assisi, as well as those of his companions that recorded his lived experience—including his death. In the first half of the program, you will study original historical research about Francis during his final days. As you do so, you will encounter his inspiring follower, Jacoba dei Settesoli, whose example of care for the dying remains a powerful model today. With this historical foundation, you will embark on the second half of the program, which offers you opportunities for prayer, personal exploration, experiential meditations, and invitations for further growth.  The story of compassionate care, listening, and prayer shared by clergy and lay people offers beautiful, faith-inspired models for modern-day Catholics. Embark on this moving journey today.This course is part of the Learn25 collection and includes a free PDF study guide.
