To understand something, you need to know its history. Right? Wrong, says Alex Rosenberg in How History Gets Things Wrong. Feeling especially well-informed after reading a book of popular history on the best-seller list? Don't. Narrative history is always, always wrong. It not just incomplete or inaccurate but deeply wrong, as wrong as Ptolemaic astronomy. We no longer believe that the earth is the center of the universe. Why do we still believe in historical narrative? Our attachment to history as a vehicle for understanding has a long Darwinian pedigree and a genetic basis.

While social and emotional learning (SEL) is most familiar as compartmentalized programs separate from academics, the truth is, all learning is social and emotional. What teachers say, the values we express, the materials and activities we choose, and the skills we prioritize all influence how students think, see themselves, and interact with content and with others.

Two experienced educators offer an up-to-date introduction to philosophy from a Christian perspective that covers the four major areas of philosophical thought: epistemology, metaphysics, philosophy of religion, and ethics.

Originating as a 1950's creative partnership between feminist/futurists Annselm L.N.V. Morpurgo and Billie Ann Taulman under the pen name 'Artemis Smith', the early collaborative effort in the arts became severely affected by Taulman's incapacitation and long and debilitating illness. Its culture-shattering militant agenda (and eventual bid for a Nobel) is contained in the Information Science Unisex Manifesto that "while System Architecture may vary, Soul Is Gender-Free" and was carried forward into the 21st Century by Morpurgo, publishing under the renewed label of 'ArtemisSmith'. ...

Seated in her nest of ashes, Cinderella embodies human misery. The essence of inner and outer nobility, she is the envy of her cruel stepmother and her ugly sisters. Using this familiar story, Ann and Barry Ulanov explore the psychological and theological aspects of envy and goodness. In their interpretation of the tale, they move back and forth between internal and external issues – from how feminine and masculine parts of persons fit or do not fit together to how individuals conduct their lives with those of the same and opposite sexes, how they conflict, compete, or join harmoniously. ...

Every day we are confronted with hundreds of choices that either make us feel confident and strong or rob us of the things we desire the most. When we lack confidence, we feel unworthy of having what we want, of speaking the truth, of making decisions that improve our lives. When we feel weak, helpless, or powerless, we lack the strength to ward off the thoughts of defeat, negativity, and fear that fill our minds and prevent us from moving forward and living in harmony with our deepest desires.

Will increased scientific understanding of our brains overturn our beliefs about moral and ethical behavior? How will increasingly powerful brain imaging technologies affect the ideas of privacy and of self-incrimination? Such thought-provoking questions are rapidly emerging as new discoveries in neuroscience have raised difficult legal and ethical dilemmas. Michael Gazzaniga, widely considered to be the father of cognitive neuroscience, investigates with an expert eye some of these controversial and complex issues.

‘The Beauty of Concepts’ is the 99th philosophy book written in free verse poetry by Ronnie Lee. This book continues along the philosophical topics of the past books showing the concept of the Dasein and the laws of the spirit that work in the universe.

This in turn relates to further concepts of religion and then the politics of the End Times in ...

This is my 21st philosophy book written in free verse poetry. The chapters include 'characteristics of the New World Order' and 'Sovereign morality'.

This book shows the reader the will of politics and the rules of power.

In 1775 the American colonies were a hotbed of political discord. Many of the British policies, specifically taxes, had caused American colonial leaders to consider the unthinkable: declaring independence from the British Empire and its King George. One such leader, Thomas Paine, wrote Common Sense: a pamphlet that explained the advantages of immediate and complete independence.

Muses and Meanderings is a collection of essays, articles, comic sketches, and general ramblings. It is something to dip into when you fancy something a bit different, want to promote a discussion, or need a slightly different, possibly somewhat warped, take on life. I make no apologies for my political or religious leanings; if you don’t like them, please feel free to use them as a jump off point to your own counter arguments, or just agree to disagree. As Kenny Everett used to say; ‘It’s all done in the best possible taste!’ Except, actually, some of it isn't!
