  Fools, Frauds and Firebrands (eBook, ePUB)

  The thinkers who have been most influential on the attitudes of the New Left are examined in this study by one of the leading critics of leftist orientations in modern Western civilization. Scruton begins with a ruthless analysis of New Leftism and concludes with a critique of the key strands in its thinking. He conducts a reappraisal of such major left-wing thinkers as: E. P. Thompson, Ronald Dworkin, R. D. Laing, Jurgen Habermas, Gyorgy Lukacs, Jean-Paul Sartre, Jacques Derrida, Slavoj Zizek, Ralph Milliband and Eric Hobsbawm. In addition to assessments of these thinkers' philosophical and political contributions, the book contains a biographical and bibliographical section summarizing their careers and most important writings.In Thinkers of the New Left Scruton asks, what does the Left look like today and as it has evolved since 1989? He charts the transfer of grievances from the working class to women, gays and immigrants, asks what can we put in the place of radical egalitarianism, and what explains the continued dominance of antinomian attitudes in the intellectual world? Can there be any foundation for resistance to the leftist agenda without religious faith?Scruton's exploration of these important issues is written with skill, perception and at all times with pellucid clarity. The result is a devastating critique of modern left-wing thinking.

  Learning How to Learn , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 41min

  One of the most important skills that we have never been taught in our schools is “learning how to learn”. Most of us have progressed most of our lives without this essential knowledge. Even if we have been told that highlighting, summarizing, rereading, etc. are the basic techniques that help us learn, we have never been taught any proven, solid, or research-backed techniques. All of these are merely handed down through generations, and due to the rapidly evolving nature of knowledge these days, these techniques have proved almost unproductive. Contrary to popular belief, "learning" can be an acquired skill, and, like in all other walks of life, it requires practice and patience. With today’s rapidly changing global environment, knowledge is constantly evolving, unfolding, and increasing. It is vitally important to stay abreast with the latest developments in one’s field to even just ensure mere survival. Getting to the top, however, requires constant effort along with a coherent, target-oriented, and focused approach. "Learning" skills can hone your mind to consistently stay sharp and can facilitate you in capturing as well retaining all that is required for longer durations of time. This in turn will manifest itself as increased personal efficiency and much more enhanced productivity. Mastering the ever-evolving knowledge spectrum requires consistent effort and hard work. There are various tactics that have been researched by experts to be of importance in developing knowledge skills. With the help of these skills, no matter how tough or alien the subject may be, any individual can enable their minds to effectively learn about it. Learning and retaining information are two different things. Effective learning ensures long-term information retention. It also enables quick retrieval of learned information whenever and wherever its required. Therefore, "learning how to learn" is an imperative requirement for all. ungekürzt. Language: English.

  Patterns and Coincidences: A Sequel to "All Is But a Beginning" , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 215min

  This volume is a continuation of the autobiography of John G. Neihardt All Is But a Beginning, offering a final glimpse into his fascinating life. Covering the years 1901-1908, he weaves a mosaic of personal fulfillment, joy and sorrow, reflecting on the successes and failures he experienced during his "mature" years. As only he could, Neihardt shares a mingling of romantic anecdotes alive with names and faces he sought out or fought for along the way. Writing with warmth and sensitivity, the late Poet Laureate of Nebraska tells of his early newspaper days, his struggle to write poetry, his family, his encounters with nature, his relationships with Indians, and the various people who, whether met once or often, had a profound effect on his life. Using a conversational style, the author does not present episodes in chronological order. Rather he begins to elaborate on one memorable experience, then quickly draws out, without warning, another one that occurred years later, tying them into a pattern or coincidence. The audiobook's epilogue is written by Neihardt's daughter, Hilda Neihardt Petri. Summarizing her father's visions, daydreams, and philosophy, she movingly concludes that with his death on 3 November 1973 Neihardt's "great adventure had begun." The late John G. Neihardt is best remembered as an authority on the traditions and customs of the Sioux Indians. Neihardt, named Poet Laureate of Nebraska in 1921 and Prairie Poet Laureate of America in 1968, was literary editor of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch from 1926 to 1938 and poet in residence and lecturer in English at the University of Missouri-Columbia from 1949 to 1965. The author of some 25 volumes of poetry, fiction, and philosophy, his works include Black Elk Speaks, Lyric and Dramatic Poems, and A Cycle of the West. ungekürzt. Language: English.
