Historic justice is due to all characters. Who would not vindicate Henry the Eighth or Charles the Second, if found to be falsely traduced? Why then not Richard the Third? Of what importance is it to any man living whether or not he was as bad as he is represented? No one noble family is sprung from him.

Philosophers have explained space. They have not explained time. It is the inexplicable raw material of everything. With it, all is possible; without it, nothing. The supply of time is truly a daily miracle, an affair genuinely astonishing when one examines it.

Collected by the author over many years, these stories from the Yoga and Zen traditions are the flint and steel that strike a spark that lights up the mind with insights that one should ponder daily to bring to light ever deeper meaning. They may be similar in intent to Zen Koans – but they are rather different in content. In many Zen Koans someone says or does something extraordinarily inappropriate, which catches your attention just because it’s extraordinary –but afterwards the light from them has to be applied to daily life. In contrast, the stories here are often ordinary incidents from ordinary lives (not that there aren’t some extraordinary ones too!) that nevertheless open the mind’s eye to the vast potential for realization and inspiration to be found in daily life. The pictures featured throughout this book were brushed by Jacques Allais in the Suiboku style, in which he was an acknowledged expert. The innate beauty of this ancient monochrome ink-painting technique lies in its subtlety of expression, in which infinitely more is suggested than is drawn on the page – making it the perfect vehicle for focusing meditation practice as well as an ideal complement to the stories in this book.

The text translated here is an historical find: an unknown commentary on the Yoga Sutra-s of Patanjali by Sankara, the most eminent philosopher of ancient India. Present Indications are that it is likely to be authentic, which would date it about AD700. The many references to meditation in his accepted works have sometimes been regarded as concessions to accepted ideas of the time , and not really his own views. If he has chosen to write a commentary on Yoga meditation, it must have been a central part of his own standpoint, although he was opposed to some of the philosophical doctrines of the official Yoga school. One would expect a tendency to modify these unacceptable doctrines if this text is really by Sankara. This turns out to be the case'.? T.P.Leggett - Introduction for the general reader -?1990 '.....Leggett's translation of the Vivarana did not receive the attention it deserved when it first came out. Some of the points that he raised are well worth consideration in the context of the authorship problem, and his contribution to the debate should be recognised..... Dr Kengo Harimoto in his Foreword to the e-book edition -?2017 'When enthusiasm flags, read sutras 11.15 - 17; look around you and see how anxiety, pain and death are rushing towards us like an express train. Yoga is a way to escape them'. T.P.Leggett - How to use this book for Yoga Practice - 1990 Excerpts from 'The Complete Commentary by Sankara on the Yoga Sutra-s' by Trevor Leggett

The story follows life of a young girl Maggie who is driven to unfortunate circumstances by poverty and solitude. Strong themes and realism of the work made it difficult to attract commercial publishers at the time, so 22 years old Crane financed the book's publication himself. The book is now considered a masterpiece of American naturalism.

In Sevastopol (or Sebastopol) Sketches Tolstoy examines the senselessness and vanity of war, the many aspects of the psychology of war, heroism, and the misleading presence of humanism in truces. The name originates from Sevastopol, a city in Crimea. Many of the episodes in Tolstoy's War and Peace are linked to the events described in these sketches.

John Holt - Promotorul educa?iei la domiciliu - homeschooling ?Tot ce spun eu ?n cartea acesta poate afi rezumat ?n patru cuvinte: Ave?i ?ncredere ?n copii!“ – John Holt Copiii ?nva?? cel mai bine ?nainte de a merge la ?coal?, c?nd ??nv??atul este precum respiratul“, atrage aten?ia celebrul reformator educa?ional John Holt. Odat? intra?i ?n sistemul clasic de ?nv???m?nt, micii ?colari ajung repede s? fie umili?i, speria?i ?i descuraja?i. V?duvi?i de dorin?a fireasc? de a explora, ei se vor sim?i cople?i?i de cerin?e f?r? noim? ?i de test?ri care ignor? punctele lor forte. Vor c?uta strategii de a p?c?li profesorii sau se vor limita la a ?nv??a strict ?pentru examene“. Plec?nd de la observarea procesului natural ?i fascinant ?n care copiii mici ?nva?? pe cont propriu s? mearg?, s? vorbeasc? sau s? rezolve jocuri complicate, autorul ?ndeamn? p?rin?ii ?i educatorii s? creeze un mediu de ?nv??are bazat pe ?ncredere ?i deschidere, care s? ?ncurajeze nu doar achizi?ia unor fragmente din diverse teorii, dar ?i dezvoltarea ?ncrederii, r?bd?rii ?i autonomiei elevilor afla?i la v?rste fragede. Miza c?r?ii const? ?n transformarea ?colii (dar ?i a c?minului familial) ?ntr-un loc unde copiii s?-?i poat? ?mbun?t??i stilul natural de g?ndire ?i ?nv??are.

Seria Lec?ii de via?? din The School of Life alege c?te un mare g?nditor ?i pune accentul pe acele idei ale sale care au o ?nsemn?tate profund? pentru noi, cei de ast?zi. C?r?ile din aceast? serie demonstreaz? c? voci importante din trecut ?nc? au lucruri fundamentale de transmis genera?iilor actuale.

Imediat ce ai anunat c eti nsrcinat, rudele, prietenii, cunoscuii, chiar i persoanele strine se grbesc s-i dea sfaturi. Pe internet gseti tot felul de informaii despre natere i creterea copiilor, unele verificate, altele mai puin, dar care adesea se bat cap n cap. Cum s-o scoi la capt n tot acest hi informaional Mari mituri despre dezvoltarea copiilor este o carte ce-i propune s demoleze ideile preconcepute, bazndu-se pe rezultatele cercetrilor tiinifice, pe dovezi, pe date statistice. Cartea dezbate fr menajamente 50 de mituri, rspunznd la ntrebri precum: Se poate prezice sexul bebeluului uitndu-te la forma corpului matern Genereaz anestezia epidural complicaii la natere S lai copilul s plng sau s-l iei n brae la cel mai mic semn de suferin S l aezi n premergtor ori s-l lai s se ridice singur n poziie biped Poate vaccinarea s induc autismul Dar consumul de zahr mi va agita copilul Pn la ce vrst este indicat alptarea mi traumatizez copilul pe via dac-i dau o palm Divorul prinilor poate distruge viaa copiilor Cu exemple din filme i seriale cunoscute, cu trimiteri la referine bibliografice de ncredere, cartea de fa reprezint un mic ghid pentru prini, extrem de util n numeroasele momente de cumpn cu care se confrunt pe parcursul creterii unui copil. Totodat, ea poate fi i un excelent suport de curs pentru cei ce se pregtesc n psihologia copilului. Ideea c un copil singur la prini este rsfat dateaz de peste un secol… cercetrile sugereaz c aceasta nu este n realitate dect un mit… Copiii singuri la prini […] au o motivaie de realizare nalt, un nivel mai ridicat al stimei de sine i relaii mai pozitive cu prinii […] i sunt similari tuturor celorlalte grupuri familiale n ceea ce privete maturitatea, spiritul de cooperare, autocontrolul, stabilitatea emoional, participarea social, extraversia i popularitatea n grupul lor de vrst.“ – Stephen Hupp i Jeremy Jewell Gemenii identici nu sunt identici din punct de vedere genetic O femeie poate rmne nsrcinat n timpul sarcinii Nu toate fetele au cromozomi sexuali XX i nu toi bieii au cromozomi XY Taii nu folosesc pedeapsa corporal mai des dect mamele Acestea i multe alte mituri sunt discutate prin prisma cercetrilor tiinifice de cea mai nalt calitate, i nu aa cum obinuim s facem noi, majoritatea prinilor, atunci cnd recurgem la intuiii, zvonuri i preri transmise din gur-n gur. Aceast carte ar trebui s se afle pe noptiera oricrui printe i consultat ori de cte ori ai dubii c faci ceea ce trebuie.“ – Michael Shermer, redactor al revistei Skeptic, editorialist la Scientific American, autor al crilor: Why People Believe Weird Things, The Believing Brain i The Moral Arc.

E?ti curios s? afli ce aduce schimbarea ?ntr-o psihanaliz?? Care este acel ingredient miraculos ce apare ?n rela?ia dintre terapeut ?i pacientul s?u, facilit?nd vindecarea acestuia din urm?? Owen Renik, ?rebelul“, a?a cum este numit de confra?ii s?i, ne invit? ?n cabinetul s?u ?i ne las? s? p?trundem delicatele ?es?turi ale colabor?rii ce se petrece acolo pe dou? planuri: con?tient ?i incon?tient. El ne ofer? imaginea unui psihanalist mai degrab? cald ?i empatic, deschis, interesat ?mpreun? cu pacien?ii s?i de eliminarea simptomelor ?i a disconfortului acestora. Cartea este construit? pe baza unor exemple clinice dintre cele mai diverse, surprinse ?n momente de cotitur? ale terapiei, Renik ilustr?nd prin intermediul lor, ?ntr-un limbaj accesibil, propria viziune asupra unor concepte de baz? ale psihanalizei.Captivant? ?nc? de la primele r?nduri, ea se adreseaz? cititorului pasionat de domeniul ?psi“, fie el profesionist sau profan. Scopul meu este s? discut de o manier? pragmatic? ?i nepreten?ioas? ceea ce, ?n experien?a mea, ar fi util ca at?t analistul, c?t ?i pacientul s? aib? ?n vedere atunci c?nd colaboreaz? ?n str?dania de a-l face pe acesta din urm? s? se simt? mai bine; ?i cred c? modul cel mai potrivit ?n care pot face acest lucru este prin a oferi o culegere de istorisiri cu t?lc, ?mpreun? cu reflec?iile mele despre ele. – Owen Renik Maturizarea intelectual? a lui Renik s-a produs ?n interiorul culturii psihanalitice care s-a dezvoltat pe parcursul ultimului secol. El o cunoa?te bine, ar fi ?n stare s? se descurce cu ochii ?nchi?i prin labirintul ei… ?nv???tura primit? e acceptat? f?r? plec?ciuni, iar dac? nu-?i are rostul, e dat? deoparte f?r? mult? ceremonie. ?ncep?nd cu prima pagin?, ne d?m seama c? ne afl?m ?ntr-un atelier de lucru, nu ?ntr-un templu. Pragmatismul lui ??i taie r?suflarea: ce ne folose?te e important, ce nu, n-are rost s? ne pierdem vremea. Chilia ce nu permite dec?t g?ndire ?nghesuit? s-a transformat ?n spa?iu deschis care cheam? noutatea. Drept-credincio?ii trebuie avertiza?i: s-ar putea s? nu mai fie niciodat? la fel ca ?nainte. – Allen Wheelis, autorul c?r?ilor How People Change ?i The Way We Are.
