Synopsis

In "Egyptian Decorative Art," W. M. Flinders Petrie meticulously explores the rich tapestry of artistic expressions that characterized ancient Egypt. With an eye for detail and a commitment to historical accuracy, Petrie delves into the ornamentation found in temples, tombs, and daily life, highlighting the symbiotic relationship between art and culture. His analytical approach not only categorizes various art forms but also contextualizes them within the broader framework of Egyptian civilization, making this work an essential reference for both art historians and archaeologists alike. The literary style is both scholarly and accessible, characterized by clear exposition and vivid descriptions that paint a comprehensive picture of the artistic heritage of ancient Egypt. Flinders Petrie, often hailed as the father of modern archaeology, dedicated his life to unveiling the mysteries of ancient cultures. His numerous excavations and research endeavored to document the intricate details of Egyptian life, from social structure to religious beliefs. This background not only enriched his perspective but also informed his meticulous documentation of art forms that might otherwise be forgotten, highlighting his belief in preservation through understanding. "Egyptian Decorative Art" is an indispensable resource for anyone passionate about ancient cultures, art history, or the intricate aesthetics of Egypt. It bridges the gap between artistic appreciation and scholarly inquiry, making it invaluable for students, researchers, and enthusiasts who wish to deepen their understanding of this magnificent civilization.

    Disclaimer: This is not the official book, but a summary & it does not accompany the official. 
    Dwelling on the principle that our lives are largely dictated by our thoughts, Groeschel introduces readers to the concept of “winning the war” in one’s mind by breaking free from negative and self-defeating thought patterns. He proposes an actionable guide grounded in biblical truths and psychological insights to help readers transform their minds and, consequently, their lives.

Drawing upon a rich array of scripture and real-life anecdotes, Groeschel illuminates the road to a renewed mind, which is pivotal in forging deeper connections with others and fostering a more fulfilling life. 
    As you draft a summary of this insightful read, bring forth the emphasis Groeschel places on the transformative power of changing one’s thinking. Illustrate how, through personal anecdotes and scriptural references, the book equips readers with the tools to identify, combat, and replace the toxic narratives that plague their minds with healthier, God-honoring thoughts.

    Choosing Well - The Good the Bad...

    Self-defeating behavior and the damage it can cause constitute a rich and intriguing area of philosophical inquiry. Choosing Well explores the challenges associated with effective choice over time from both theoretical and practical perspectives. Andreou focuses on the challenges raised by cyclic preferences and incomplete preferences, both of which interfere with our ability to neatly order our options and thus make us susceptible to self-defeating patterns of choice which in turn create unacceptable results. 
     
     
     
    What are we to do if we find ourselves with cyclic preferences or with incomplete preferences? Do such preferences make us irrational? Andreou argues that rationality does not invariably prohibit disorderly preferences but does prompt us to proceed with caution when preferences are disorderly. Theories of rational choice often dismiss or abstract away from the sorts of disorderly preferences that Andreou focuses on, since they assume that rational agents can and should have neat preferences over their options. Instead, Andreou suggests, rationality can validate certain disorderly preference structures while also protecting us from self-defeating patterns of choice.

    "Dear Tulsī, you are much beloved by Lord Kṛṣṇa because your leaves are always at His lotus feet. Dear mālatī flower, dear mallikā flower, dear jasmine flower, all of you must have been touched by Kṛṣṇa while He was passing this way after giving us transcendental enjoyment. Have you seen Mādhava passing this way? O mango trees, O trees of jackfruit, O pear trees and āsana trees! O blackberries and bael trees and trees of the kadamba flower—you are all very pious trees to be living on the bank of the Yamunā. Kṛṣṇa must have passed through this way. Will you kindly let us know which way He has gone?" The Srimad Bhagavatam 
     
    Tulsi Devi (Vrinda - Holy Basil) is a sacred plant in Hindu belief. She is regarded as an earthly manifestation of the goddess Srimati Tulsi Devi, and is as an avatar of Lakshmi, and thus the consort of Vishnu. The offering of her leaves is mandatory in the worship of Bhagavan Sri Krishna. Tulsi is regarded as the holiest of all plants and a bridge between heaven and earth. A traditional prayer teaches the creator Brahma and the Ganges resides in her branches, all holy pilgrimage centers in her roots, all deities are in her stem and leaves, and the Vedas are found in the upper part of her branches. The Tulsi herb is a center of household devotion, and is often referred to as the "women's deity" and "a symbol of wifehood and motherhood." Vaishnavites consider it as the manifestation of god in the plant kingdom. Tulsi Devi is one of Krishna’s most intimate servants coming to bless us all with extraordinary fortune. She has delicate purple and green leaves, flower tassels (like miniature temple spires), and an arresting, sweet fragrance famous for attracting the minds of yogis to Krishna’s service via Bhakti Yoga. Tulasi’s wood is carved into the Japa beads on which devotees chant Krishna’s holy name.

    I Don't Want to Go to School...

    “I don’t want to gp. I just can’t do it anymore.” "My stomach hurts, and I'm afraid of throwing up." "It sucks. What’s the point.” "I'm tired. I need a break. "I'm just fine where I am, in my room."
    Since the health crisis, Thierry Delcourt has observed a considerable increase in children who cannot or no longer want to go to school, not only for problems of violence, racketeering and bullying, but rather for much more troubling reasons—hostility, laziness, convenience or opportunism. According to the author, who has cross-checked data from National Education and the CNED, absenteeism at school has increased by 10% over the last 3 years. 
    This book aims to enlighten anxious parents, disoriented teachers, and psychologists who are overwhelmed by these situations, and to provide an approach to understand and overcome these obstacles that lead to school dropout and, in the long run, to school failure. Each chapter refers to a particular situation, analyzes the reason for it and then offers advice on how to combat this scourge.
