Historia
As Elizabeth Anscombe, Philippa Foot, Mary Midgley, and Iris Murdoch labored to make a place for themselves in a male-dominated world, as they made friendships and families, and as they drifted toward and away from each other, they never stopped insisting that some lives are better than others. Drawing on a cluster of recently opened archives and extensive correspondence and interviews with those who knew them best, Benjamin Lipscomb traces the lives and ideas of four friends who gave us a better way to think about ethics, and ourselves.

Extraordinary!
Revisado: 07-07-23
Excellent work involving a tremendous amount of compilation, sorting, abstraction and synthesis of lives, thoughts, theories, histories, sentiments, and more. It is essential to understand what went on in the mid-twentieth century in Britain, Europe and beyond through important and brilliant people .

Historia
The history of European philosophy is usually constructed from the work of men. In Metaphysical Animals, a pioneering group biography, Clare Mac Cumhaill and Rachael Wiseman offer a compelling alternative. In the mid-twentieth century Elizabeth Anscombe, Mary Midgley, Philippa Foot, and Iris Murdoch were philosophy students at Oxford when most male undergraduates and many tutors were conscripted away to fight in the Second World War. Together, these young women, all friends, developed a philosophy that could respond to the war’s darkest revelations.

Fundamental
Revisado: 06-12-23
The best is the narration, the content is fundamental, for it gives the essential elements of philosophy for a better future. The story sometimes goes into superfluous, though decoratively pretty, elements.

Historia
In 1765, 11 years before composing the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson bought a Qur'an. This marked only the beginning of his lifelong interest in Islam, and he would go on to acquire numerous books on Middle Eastern languages, history, and travel, taking extensive notes on Islam as it relates to English common law. Jefferson sought to understand Islam notwithstanding his personal disdain for the faith, a sentiment prevalent among his Protestant contemporaries in England and America.

Exceptional research and integration
Revisado: 01-10-23
In contrast to other reviews, I found this book exceptional in its research of the topic, associated material, and overarching topics: xenophobia, sectarianism and intolerance, despite declarations, proclamations, exhortations, and the establishment of laws to procure rights and freedoms for the people, all citizens, by our nation’s founders!

Historia
"Everyone dies, but no one is dead," goes the Tibetan saying. It is with these words that Advice on Dying takes flight. Using a 17th-century poem written by a prominent scholar-practitioner, His Holiness the Dalai Lama draws from a wide range of traditions and beliefs to explore the stages we all go through when we die, which are the very same stages we experience in life when we go to sleep, faint, or reach orgasm (Shakespeare's "little death").

Good information but lacks practicality
Revisado: 09-07-22
The book gives the story and the steps in the process but lacks practical application. It would be great to have an actual guided imagery on the stages.

Historia
When we think about the origins of modern science we usually begin in Europe. We remember the great minds of Nicolaus Copernicus, Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin, and Albert Einstein. But the history of science is not, and has never been, a uniquely European endeavor. Copernicus relied on mathematical techniques that came from Arabic and Persian texts. Newton’s laws of motion used astronomical observations made in Asia and Africa. When Darwin was writing On the Origin of Species, he consulted a sixteenth-century Chinese encyclopedia.

Essential for anyone interested in science
Revisado: 08-31-22
This book is awesome, full of interesting and essential facts that fill in the gaps in the history of science and brings an integral global, to replace the arian-american eurocentric, perspective in the development of science.

A Beautiful Gem!
Revisado: 12-03-21
This is very heart warming and personal exploration if the Cloud of Unknowing and its mystical foundations and practices. The only thing that troubled me is the deep “presence” of the “Mother Church” and an anthropomorphized “God” construct on which we depend on for “grace.”

Historia
On rare occasion, a fascinating artist will endeavor to peel back the curtain and truly reveal themselves: Their craft, their thoughts, their pain, their humanity. But it is even more rare that the artist actually possesses the range of gifts to pull it off. St. Vincent is such an artist. And St. Vincent: Words plus Music is such an experience.

Extraordinarily Fresh
Revisado: 12-05-20
As intuited, this is a fantastic piece, with a very interesting, articulate and melodious nature; a work of art, in its musicality, nuanced and beautifully prosodic spoken word, and diction. Annie’s story is fascinating! She is fresh, in her act, persona, and alter-ego; the avatar she embodies and through which she delivers a profound and relevant message about the world, life, the self, the inner world she has not shied away from but exteriorizes in a daring and unapologetically fresh way, which can acquire a different meaning when it relates to her life as a New Yorker.

Historia
In this “timely and excellent volume” (NPR) Marie Arana seamlessly weaves these stories with the history of the past millennium to explain three enduring themes that have defined Latin America since pre-Columbian times: the foreign greed for its mineral riches, an ingrained propensity to violence, and the abiding power of religion. Silver, Sword, and Stone combines “learned historical analysis with in-depth reporting and political commentary...[and] an informed and authoritative voice, one that deserves a wide audience” (The New York Times Book Review).

Heart-wrentching, passionate, outreageous
Revisado: 09-18-19
This is an extrordinary, sad, document of the conquest, rape, pillage, despair, and distress, of latin America post “discovery.” Beautifully written, brutally honest and incisive, and, at the end, sad, it is as if there is no hope for Latin America, besides a few brave souls whose bravery stamps stamps spots of fleeting hope, here and there, for some time.

Historia
Power is changing. Private corner offices and management by decree are out, as is unquestioned trust in the government and media. These former pillars of traditional power have been replaced by networks of informed citizens who collectively wield more power over their personal lives, employers, and worlds than ever before. So how do you navigate this new landscape and come out on top? Adam Grant, Wharton organizational psychologist, went to the World Economic Forum in Davos, the epicenter of power, and sat down with thought leaders from around the world, to find out.
