Apuleius - Cupid and Psyche (The Tale of Cupid and Psyche / From The Golden Ass)

English | 1991 | Cambridge University Press | ISBN: 978-0521278133 | 691 pages | EPUB | 668 KB

Cupid and Psyche is a famous embedded narrative from the ancient Roman novel Metamorphoses (commonly known as The Golden Ass), written by the Platonist philosopher Apuleius. The story follows the exceptionally beautiful mortal princess Psyche, who inadvertently incurs the jealousy of Venus, the goddess of love. Venus dispatches her son Cupid (Eros) to make Psyche fall in love with a hideous monster, but Cupid accidentally scratches himself with his own arrow and falls deeply in love with her instead. He spirits her away to a secluded, magical palace, visiting her only in the dark of night under a strict condition: she must never look upon his face.
When Psyche breaks this vow, driven by the malicious prodding of her envious sisters, Cupid flees in betrayal. To win back her lost love, Psyche must wander the earth and complete a series of seemingly impossible, perilous trials imposed by a vengeful Venus-including a descent into the Underworld itself. Ultimately, her perseverance wins the favor of the gods, leading to her transformation into an immortal and her eternal union with Cupid. The tale is widely celebrated both as a timeless romance and as a profound Neoplatonic allegory detailing the human soul's (Psyche) journey through suffering toward divine love.

Albert Camus, Anthony Bower, Olivier Todd - The Rebel

English | 2013 | Penguin Books | ISBN: 978-0-141-91410-7 | 270 pages | EPUB | 774 KB

The Rebel is Camus's 'attempt to understand the time I live in' and a brilliant essay on the nature of human revolt. Published in 1951, it makes a daring critique of communism - how it had gone wrong behind the Iron Curtain and the resulting totalitarian regimes. It questions two events held sacred by the left wing - the French Revolution of 1789 and the Russian Revolution of 1917 - that had resulted, he believed, in terrorism as a political instrument.
In this towering intellectual document, Camus argues that hope for the future lies in revolt, which unlike revolution is a spontaneous response to injustice and a chance to achieve change without giving up collective and intellectual freedom.

Robert C. Bartlett; - Sophistry and Political Philosophy

English | 2016 | University of Chicago Press | ISBN: 978-0-226-39428-2 | 272 pages | EPUB | 759 KB

One of the central challenges to contemporary political philosophy is the apparent impossibility of arriving at any commonly agreed upon "truths." As Nietzsche observed in his Will to Power, the currents of relativism that have come to characterize modern thought can be said to have been born with ancient sophistry. If we seek to understand the strengths and weaknesses of contemporary radical relativism, we must therefore look first to the sophists of antiquity-the most famous and challenging of whom is Protagoras. With Sophistry and Political Philosophy, Robert C. Bartlett provides the first close reading of Plato's two-part presentation of Protagoras. In the "Protagoras," Plato sets out the sophist's moral and political teachings, while the "Theaetetus," offers a distillation of his theoretical and epistemological arguments. Taken together, the two dialogues demonstrate that Protagoras is attracted to one aspect of conventional morality-the nobility of courage, which in turn is connected to piety. This insight leads Bartlett to a consideration of the similarities and differences in the relationship of political philosophy and sophistry to pious faith. Bartlett's superb exegesis offers a significant tool for understanding the history of philosophy, but, in tracing Socrates's response to Protagoras' teachings, Bartlett also builds toward a richer understanding of both ancient sophistry and what Socrates meant by "political philosophy."

Kristie Flannery; - Piracy and the Making of the Spanish Pacific World

English | 2024 | University of Pennsylvania Press | ISBN: 978-1-5128-2574-9 | 288 pages | EPUB | 14 MB

This historical study offers a new interpretation of Spanish colonial rule in the Philippine islands during the early modern era. Drawing on rich archival research, the text reveals how the ever-present threat of piracy-from Chinese corsairs, Dutch privateers, and Moro raiders-ironically helped forge and solidify alliances between Spanish colonial officials, Catholic missionaries, and the diverse indigenous and migrant populations of the archipelago. The book demonstrates how the shared necessity of maritime defense and counter-piracy operations shaped the political, social, and economic architecture of the Spanish Pacific world.

Elizabeth Blackstock - Racing With Rich Energy: How a Rogue Sponsor Took Formula One for a Ride

English | 2022 | McFarland | ISBN: 9781476688800 | 433 pages | EPUB | 773 KB

Formula One has long maintained a glitzy aura that masks dark and strange goings-on in the background. But with the 2019 season came a force louder than Formula One could dream of muffling: William Storey, the founder of British energy drink startup Rich Energy.
Storey became a multimillion-dollar sponsor of the Haas Formula One team a year after records showed Rich Energy having a mere $770 in the bank. He equated his doubters to moon-landing truthers and publicly mocked both the Haas team and the entities winning legal disputes against him. But where were actual cans of Rich Energy, and did the supposed sponsorship funds exist?
In the six months between Storey's first race as a Formula One sponsor and his very public exit, he stole the spotlight with a loud mouth and an active Twitter account. Haas team boss Guenther Steiner once described the Rich Energy news cycle as: "I'm getting sick of answering these stupid fucking questions on a race weekend. I've never seen any fucking thing like this." No one else had, either. This book uncovers the complete, bizarre story.

Review
"A well-reported and often hilarious romp through the twists and turns of the Rich Energy sage in Formula 1, Racing with Rich Energy is a tale that's so ridiculous it's hard to believe it's not fiction.Whether you're a long time F1 fan or just got into the sport because of 'Drive to Survive,' the book is an excellent companion piece for even the most casual fan."― The Autopian --This text refers to the paperback edition.

Michael Braddick - God's Fury, England's Fire

English | 2008 | Penguin Books | ISBN: 978-0-141-92651-3 | 784 pages | EPUB | 12 MB

The sequence of civil wars that ripped England apart in the seventeenth century was the single most traumatic event in this country between the medieval Black Death and the two world wars. Indeed, it is likely that a greater percentage of the population were killed in the civil wars than in the First World War.
This sense of overwhelming trauma gives this major new history its title: God's Fury, England's Fire. The name of a pamphlet written after the king's surrender, it sums up the widespread feeling within England that the seemingly endless nightmare that had destroyed families, towns and livelihoods was ordained by a vengeful God - that the people of England had sinned and were now being punished. As with all civil wars, however, 'God's fury' could support or destroy either side in the conflict. Was God angry at Charles I for failing to support the true, protestant, religion and refusing to work with Parliament? Or was God angry with those who had...

Robert P. Jones - The Hidden Roots of White Supremacy

English | 2024 | Simon & Schuster | ISBN: 1668009528 | 416 pages | EPUB | 10 MB

A New York Times Bestseller

Taking the story of white supremacy in America back to 1493, and examining contemporary communities in Mississippi, Minnesota, and Oklahoma for models of racial repair, The Hidden Roots of White Supremacy helps chart a new course toward a genuinely pluralistic democracy.
Beginning with contemporary efforts to reckon with the legacy of white supremacy in America, Jones returns to the fateful year when a little-known church doctrine emerged that shaped the way five centuries of European Christians would understand the "discovered" world and the people who populated it. Along the way, he shows us the connections between Emmett Till and the Spanish conquistador Hernando De Soto in the Mississippi Delta, between the lynching of three Black circus workers in Duluth and the mass execution of thirty-eight Dakota men in Mankato, and between the murder of 300 African Americans during the burning of Black Wall...

Alistair Horne - The Fall of Paris

English | 1990 | Penguin Books Ltd | ISBN: 9780141939179 | 458 pages | EPUB | 7 MB

The collapse of France in 1870 had an overwhelming impact - on Paris, on France and on the rest of the world. People everywhere saw Paris as the centre of Europe and the hub of culture, fashion and invention. Suddenly France, not least to the disbelief of her own citizens, was gripped in the vice of the Iron Chancellor's armies and forced to surrender on humiliating terms. In this brilliant study of the Siege and its aftermath, Alistair Horne evokes the high drama of those ten fantastic months and the spiritual agony which Paris and the Parisians suffered.
The Fall of Paris is the first part of the trilogy including To Lose a Battle and The Price of Glory (already available in Penguin).

Minh Quang Nguyen;James Albright; - The Political Economy of Education Reforms in Vietnam

English | 2023 | Routledge | ISBN: 978-1-032-15576-0 | 142 pages | EPUB | 2 MB

This book, drawing on a political economic perspective of education development, is a comprehensive account of the question "why some education systems flourish while others falter". It provides a state-of-the-art review of the Vietnamese way of education development, figuring out the pitfalls, challenges and opportunities of neoliberal reform. It also sheds new light on the rise of neoliberal capitalism in contemporary Vietnam as the country intensifies its market-oriented economic transition. Starting from educational development concerns, this book differentiates the growth and development concepts in education. While "growth with limited development" is well reflected in many developing education systems, the Vietnamese experience of education development stands to provide readers with unique insights about education in developing economies, especially in understanding how a socialist-oriented education system is struggling to thrive in the times of neoliberal capitalism. Authored by scholars specialising in Vietnamese education and politics, the chapters address key issues pertaining to the political economy of education reform in Vietnam and the government's enduring efforts to drive education towards international standards through its costly market-infused education reforms. This book will appeal to postgraduate students, educators, educational policy-makers and scholars interested in Vietnamese studies, Vietnam education reforms, education governance, education for sustainability, internationalisation of education and the politics of education reforms.

Sadhana Naithani; - The Inhuman Empire: Wildlife, Colonialism, Culture

English | 2024 | Routledge | ISBN: 1032700491 | 186 pages | EPUB | 2 MB

This book is a study of selected texts of British writings on Indian wildlife published between 1860 and 1960. Set in the context of British colonial rule in India, this book also reflects on similar situations across the British Empire and other colonial empires. The destruction of wildlife in the making of empires is a subject not yet fully explored in scholarship. This book aims to speak to global concerns regarding the extinction of several species and shows that the crisis has international roots. The Inhuman Empire breaks new grounds as it juxtaposes colonial narratives with folk narratives. These two types of narratives treat nonhuman animals very differently folk narrative considers them sentient beings, while colonial narratives see them as "game" and do not care for their sentience. Both types of narratives are further evaluated with reference to the contemporary position of natural sciences regarding animal sentience and of anthropologists and philosophers regarding the relationship between nature and culture. Analyzing colonial accounts of hunting, the author looks at the pain and suffering of nonhuman animals and combines statistics alongside narratives of British writers, Indian populace and nonhuman animals in order to show narratives' reflect and impact reality. This book will be of great value to those interested in Animal Studies, Folkloristics, the history of Colonialism and India.

The Gnomon Workshop - Anatomy Workshop vol.1-5 with Charles Hu
MP4/MOV | Video: h264, 1280x720 | Audio: MP4A, 44.1 KHz
Language: English | Size: 27 GB | Duration: 14h 17m


VOL.1
In this first lecture of a series focusing on human anatomy as it relates to figurative art, figure painter and instructor Charles Hu discusses key skeletal and muscular landmarks along with methods for maintaining the correct proportional relationships between the various structures of the human body. Throughout the lecture, Charles refers to skeletal reference to illustrate how skeletal elements not only connect, but more importantly, how these structures move in relation to one another, providing a clear roadmap for maintaining correct proportional relationships in your figure drawings. Charles begins with an initial "mechanical" representation of the human form from the front view. He first discusses the basic proportions and structures of the human head. As the human head is often used as the base unit of measurement in figure drawing, the important landmarks and relationships between the brow region, eye sockets, cheek bones, nose, mouth and chin will be explored in great detail. After blocking in the head, the neck and shoulder area is discussed before moving down to the chest, stomach and pelvis regions. Again, key structural landmarks are discussed in order to understand the anatomical, structural, and proportional importance of each. Charles then moves on to discuss arms and legs, along with correct proportional guides for laying in key elements like elbows, wrists, knees and ankles. Once completed with the anatomical sketch from the front view, he moves onto the drawings from both the back and side views, providing a clear and comprehensive study of the base human form. Suitable for all artists developing their understanding of the figure and its complex anatomical relationships, this lecture and demonstration is an immersive and critical foundation.
VOL.2
In this lecture, the second title in a series on human anatomy as it relates to figurative art, figure painter and instructor Charles Hu expands on the structure and proportion principals discussed in his first lecture, translating them into a live figure drawing studio environment. Charles begins this lecture by discussing the principals of shading and light to describe three dimensional forms, as he will be demonstrating shading techniques later in the lecture. Here, Charles discusses topics like the difference between core shadow and cast shadow, direct light versus bounced light, and how to find the 'true' color or value of a form under complex lighting conditions. He then moves on to drawing the figure from a live model in a studio environment. He begins by laying in the figure, employing the principals covered in his first lecture, identifying the key structural landmarks on the live model, then demonstrating some new techniques to help maintain correct proportions under real world drawing conditions. He proceeds to do 'lay-ins' for the figure in a standing position from the front, a seated figure, and lastly the standing figure from the back to illustrate how to draw the same figure from various angles and different poses. The final phase is to shade and refine one of the drawings to take it to a more finished state. Charles begins by blocking in the cast shadows and then the core shadows on the figure, then refines the shading to include bounced light and highlights by pulling those areas back out with an eraser. The finishing stage involves adding more detail back into the shadows, and pulling out some final areas of bounce light. Suitable for all artists interested in developing their understanding of the figure, Charles Hu masterfully explores this complex subject while providing a clear and methodical workflow.
VOL.3
In this human anatomy tutorial series titled Skeletal Structure, Mechanics and Proportion, instructor Charles Hu will break down the human skeletal system in terms of how it relates to drawing a dynamic figure. Starting with basic proportion and structure, Charles breaks down the human skeleton into 9 primary structures: the head, shoulder, rib cage, spine, pelvis, arms, legs, hands and feet. He breaks down the primary landmarks and planes of each structure and identifies features on specific bones important to the mechanics and motion. Charles also discusses the skeletal mechanics of each structure to provide the mechanical understanding of the system in order to achieve more realistic and dynamic figure drawings.
VOL.4
In this human anatomy tutorial titled Anatomy of the Human Head, figure artist Charles Hu provides an anatomical breakdown of the human head. Beginning with general proportions, planes and structural landmarks, Charles then demonstrates how to apply these principles with a series of life drawing exercises. In these three exercises - from Front, Side and ¾ View, he shows how to approach the lay-ins using the general proportions discussed previously. He then breaks the head down into their individual structures, defining the primary planes of the head first, then refining the individual structures, using the planes to help define the core and cast shadows and shading of the head. Lastly, Charles discusses the primary muscle groups of the human head, demonstrating each muscle's primary motion. These combined lectures provide a much deeper understanding of the human head and provides a strong foundation for drawing much more dynamic portraits.
VOL.5
This series of tutorials is focused on and titled Structure and Anatomy of the Human Torso. In a continuation of his previous lectures on human anatomy, figure artist Charles Hu approaches these lectures in the same fashion, beginning with a discussion on the primary skeletal structures making up the torso - the neck, spine, rib cage, pelvis and shoulder. After discussing the primary structures and proportions, he begins by breaking down the primary muscle groups, starting with the neck then working his way down to the shoulder, chest, and abdomen, before moving to the muscle groups of the back. In discussing the muscle groups, Charles discusses not only their positions and overlaps, but also their mechanical contributions to the motion of the underlying skeletal structure. This structural and mechanical understanding is essential in producing believable and dynamic figure drawings.

Unknown - The Road to Serfdom: Text and Documents--The Definitive Edition (The Collected Works of F. A. Hayek, Volume 2)

English | 2007 | University of Chicago Press | ISBN: 0226320618 | 283 pages | EPUB | 1 MB

A classic work in political philosophy, intellectual and cultural history, and economics, The Road to Serfdom has inspired and infuriated politicians, scholars, and general readers for half a century. Originally published in England in the spring of 1944-when Eleanor Roosevelt supported the efforts of Stalin, and Albert Einstein subscribed lock, stock, and barrel to the socialist program-The Road to Serfdom was seen as heretical for its passionate warning against the dangers of state control over the means of production. For F. A. Hayek, the collectivist idea of empowering government with increasing economic control would inevitably lead not to a utopia but to the horrors of nazi Germany and fascist Italy.

First published by the University of Chicago Press on September 18, 1944, The Road to Serfdom garnered immediate attention from the public, politicians, and scholars alike. The first printing of 2,000 copies was exhausted instantly, and within six months more than 30,000 were sold. In April of 1945, Reader's Digest published a condensed version of the book, and soon thereafter the Book-of-the-Month Club distributed this condensation to more than 600,000 readers. A perennial best-seller, the book has sold over a quarter of a million copies in the United States, not including the British edition or the nearly twenty translations into such languages as German, French, Dutch, Swedish, and Japanese, and not to mention the many underground editions produced in Eastern Europe before the fall of the iron curtain.

After thirty-two printings in the United States, The Road to Serfdom has established itself alongside the works of Alexis de Tocqueville, John Stuart Mill, and George Orwell for its timeless meditation on the relation between individual liberty and government authority. This fiftieth anniversary edition, with a new introduction by Milton Friedman, commemorates the enduring influence of The Road to Serfdom on the ever-changing political and social climates of the twentieth century, from the rise of socialism after World War II to the Reagan and Thatcher "revolutions" in the 1980s and the transitions in Eastern Europe from communism to capitalism in the 1990s.

F. A. Hayek (1899-1992), recipient of the Medal of Freedom in 1991 and co-winner of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics in 1974, was a pioneer in monetary theory and the principal proponent of libertarianism in the twentieth century.

On the first American edition of The Road to Serfdom:
"One of the most important books of our generation. . . . It restates for our time the issue between liberty and authority with the power and rigor of reasoning with which John Stuart Mill stated the issue for his own generation in his great essay On Liberty. . . . It is an arresting call to all well-intentioned planners and socialists, to all those who are sincere democrats and liberals at heart to stop, look and listen."-Henry Hazlitt, New York Times Book Review, September 1944

"In the negative part of Professor Hayek's thesis there is a great deal of truth. It cannot be said too often-at any rate, it is not being said nearly often enough-that collectivism is not inherently democratic, but, on the contrary, gives to a tyrannical minority such powers as the Spanish Inquisitors never dreamt of."-George Orwell, Collected Essays

Peshev, Mario - 126 Steps to Becoming a Successful Entrepreneur: The Entrepreneurship Fad and the Dark Side of Going Solo

English | 2019 | ISBN: B07PXKXNFT | 339 pages | EPUB | 6 MB

The US Census Bureau reported 32,570,855 small businesses operating across the States.

Allegedly, every tenth American runs their own business.

But a follow-up story discloses that 76.2% of businesses that had no employees accounted for merely 4% of SMB sales.

As the memory of the 2008 financial recession fades away and the stories of funded startups crossing the 1 billion dollar mark, both regular workers and college students dream about running a successful business, relieved from the boredom of their corporate job or a life spent in a cubicle while paying off debts and mortgages.

"126 Steps to Becoming a Successful Entrepreneur" paints a different portrait of the startup ecosystem and the reality of "being your own boss".

Mario Peshev, a global WordPress influencer and a business advisor, leading a multinational consultancy, reveals the reality of exchanging a 40-hour work week and a steady paycheck for 80-100 hours at the office for years to come, grinding through the struggles of generating sales, managing staff, juggling accounting and legal, designing scalable processes.

This no-BS take on the startup world challenges the fad around becoming an overnight success and projects the reality for starting entrepreneurs during their first 6-18 months in the game.

Through a series of 126 questions asked by students, blue-collar workers, and starting entrepreneurs, this book will cover a number of key topics for everyone eager to quit their job and start their own business:


Introduction to Entrepreneurship
Advice for Entrepreneurs
Don'ts for Entrepreneurs
Common Questions About Entrepreneurship
Strategic Tips for Entrepreneurs
Industry-Specific Niche Startup Advice


This may be your best investment to date. If you start, make sure you're prepared for the battle. Otherwise, study the art of entrepreneurship and get back to the drawing board until you are ready to pivot.

Sandra Sánchez-López - Battles for Belonging: Women Journalists, Political Culture, and the Paradoxes of Inclusion in Colombia, 1943-1970

English | 2024 | Rowman & Littlefield Publishing | ISBN: 9781793653567 (ISBN10: 1793653569) | 244 pages | EPUB | 1 MB

Battles for Women Journalists, Political Culture, and the Paradoxes of Inclusion in Colombia, 1943-1970 examines women journalists who conceived of their publications as political interventions in mid-twentieth-century Colombia. These journalists committed to shaping justice and opportunity for women in society through writing while battling within the publishing realm to also transform and professionalize the practice of journalism in their own terms. By analyzing the contentious narratives of gender and class these women crafted as well as their conflicting efforts to maintain their stature in the printing and public worlds, it reveals the ongoing negotiations involved within their disputes over inclusion and democracy in a country still finding its way to equality, peace, and stability between the 1940s and 1960s. This book challenges oversimplified portrayals of struggles for power that either glorify or vilify these historical processes by erasing the complexity of the political and social actors involved in them. It stresses the importance of women, but not to the expense of a balanced critique of their historical reality, actions, and endeavors. This is a history of paradoxical political manifestations and a redefinition of power struggles as multidirectional, intersectional, non-monolithic historical processes, from the viewpoint of women.
