Original Home Schooling Series by Charlotte Mason Wilder Publications

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Charlotte Mason was a late nineteenth-century British educator whose ideas were far ahead of her time. She believed that children are born persons worthy of respect, rather than blank slates, and that it was better to feed their growing minds with living literature and vital ideas and knowledge, rather than dry facts and knowledge filtered and pre-digested by the teacher. Her method of education, still used by some private schools and many homeschooling families, is gentle and flexible, especially with younger children, and includes first-hand exposure to great and noble ideas through books in each school subject, conveying wonder and arousing curiosity, and through reflection upon great art, music, and poetry; nature observation as the primary means of early science teaching; use of manipulatives and real-life application to understand mathematical concepts and learning to reason, rather than rote memorization and working endless sums; and an emphasis on character and on cultivating and maintaining good personal habits. Schooling is teacher-directed, not child-led, but school time should be short enough to allow students free time to play and to pursue their own worthy interests such as handicrafts. Traditional Charlotte Mason schooling is firmly based on Christianity, although the method is also used successfully by secular families and families of other religions. Here in one affordable volume is her complete Homeschooling Series: Home Education: Six lectures by Charlotte Mason about the raising and educating of young children (up to the age of nine), for parents and teachers. She details how lessons in various school subjects can be done using her approach. She concludes with remarks about the Will, the Conscience, and the Divine Life in the Child. Parents and Children: A collection of 26 articles from the original Parent's Review magazines to encourage and instruct parents. School Education: Thoughts about the teaching and curriculum of children aged 9-12, either at school or at home. Ourselves: A character curriculum book written directly to children. Book I, Self-Knowledge, is for elementary school students; Book II, Self-Direction, is for older students. Formation of Character: Includes case studies of children (and adults) who cured themselves of bad habits; reflections on subjects including both schooling and vacations (or "stay-cations" as we now call them); various aspects of home schooling, with a special section detailing the things that Charlotte Mason thought were important to teach to girls in particular; and examples of how education affected outcome of character in famous writers of her day. Towards a Philosophy of Education: Charlotte Mason's final book, written after years of seeing her approach in action. This volume gives the best overview of her philosophy, and includes the final version of her 20 Principles. This book is particularly directed to parents of older children, about ages 12 and up, but is a valuable overview for parents of younger children as well, covering both theory and practice.

Chinese Erotic Poems Everyman

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

China has a strong and ancient tradition of erotic poetry by both men and women, and this unique collection includes poems from three thousand years ago to the present day, ranging from the highly literary to the sexually explicit - many of them appearing in English for the first time. While literary poets such as Zi Ye ('Lady Midnight') and Emperor Li Yu of the Tang Dynasty are already known in the West, popular Chinese verse has been largely ignored by translators. Tony Barnstone and Chou Ping mine a richly erotic vein, uncovering ancient Chinese Daoist sex manuals, erotic novels and plays (which contain poems at moment of sexual epiphany); the tradition of erotic prints, which were often accompanied by poems; folksongs and bawdy jokes. The contrast between the discretion and subtlety of classical Chinese erotic poetry and the earthy comedy of its popular counterpart makes for a fascinating and entertaining anthology.

You Caught Me Kissing ibooks Inc

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Dorothy is delicious-her poems are like her. . . warm, funny, sexy, deep and very loving. How lucky her children are-to have learned how to love. . .I love you, Dorothy. -Barbra StreisandDorothy Bridges celebrates life and love in all its permutations and we are invited along to share in the festivities. You Caught Me Kissing" is full of love, humor, hope and inspiration. Lloyd and Dorothy Bridges' love affair is more than a love story. Through her poetry and prose we get a candid look into what made that long relationship work. The photographs are rare and the asides by her children, Beau, Jeff and Lucinda make this literary treasure complete. -Rod McKuenI recently read Dorothy Bridges' book "You Caught Me Kissing." It is a beautiful little book-heartfelt, wistful reżections of her long loving relationships and marriage. I met them both just once and brieży. They were so warm, friendly, generous and kind; żlled with exuberance and light. I felt they had known me and I had known them as old friends. That is rare. Everything now is a quick żx, a quick answer, but that kind of exuberance and outgoingness is golden. The last poems are particularly poignant-they were written after Lloyd had passed on. This book is an inspirational gem about love, loyalty, and steadfastness through all of life's vicissitudes. The book itself is a valentine, a loving partner of many years. -Anthony HopkinsA great love story between Dorothy & Lloyd Bridges, the international żlm and TV star, told in Dorothy's acclaimed poems and lavishly illustrated with exclusive photos from the Bridges family, all enhanced with personal insights from her illustrious children, Jeff, Beau and Lucinda Bridges. 1 You will experience many kinds of kisses in your lifetime, but only if you are exceptionally lucky will you share the rare lover's kiss that lasts forever. 1 For Dorothy Bridges, the kiss began when she was eighteen years old. It was commemorated every Valentine's Day with a new poem to her beloved Lloyd. 1 Dorothy is the matriarch of the quintessential American acting family. Her warm and insightful poems have been published and performed, but it is only at the insistence of her talented children that she has agreed for the żrst time to share them with the public in this book. 1 Loving, tender and bittersweet, You Caught Me Kissing is a triumphant tribute to the institution of marriage and a collection to be shared during any celebration of love.

Tales of the Elders of Ireland Oxford University Press

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

"'Dear holy cleric,' they said, 'these old warriors tell you no more than a third of their stories, because their memories are faulty. Have these stories written down on poets' tablets in refined language, so that the hearing of them will provide entertainment for the lords and commons of later times.' The angels then left them." Tales of the Elders of Ireland is the first complete translation of the late Middle Irish Acallam na Senorach, the largest literary text surviving from twelfth-century Ireland. It contains the earliest and most comprehensive collection of Fenian stories and poetry, intermingling the contemporary Christian world of Saint Patrick, with his scribes, clerics, occasional angels and souls rescued from Hell, the earlier pagan world of the ancient, giant Fenians and Irish kings, and the parallel, timeless Otherworld, peopled by ever-young, shape-shifting fairies. It also provides the most extensive account available of the inhabitants of the Irish Otherworld - their music and magic, their internecine wars and their malice toward, and infatuation with, humankind - themes still featured in the story-telling of present-day Ireland.This readable and flowing new translation is based on existing manuscript sources and is richly annotated, complete with an Introduction discussing the place of the Acallam in Irish tradition and the impact of the Fenian or Ossianic tradition on English and European literature. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.
