What does it mean to be a good dog? Are tennis balls always real? Is a bark ever truly worse than a bite?All these questions and more are answered in Philosophers Dogs, the groundbreaking treatise that has been dog years in the making. The book reveals a long-kept secret: that every human philosopher has stolen their best ideas from their canine companions, shamelessly disguising the dogs original thoughts as their own.Featuring beautiful illustrations alongside meticulously researched historical fact,* Philosophers Dogs follows the trials, tribulations and tail-wagging of the pooches owned by famous philosophers and essayists. It is a vital addition to the bookshelves of philosophy buffs and dog lovers alike, packed with insights hitherto (wrongly) attributed to everyone from Confucius to Simone de Beauvoir via Socrates, Karl Marx and Mary Wollstonecraft.*Not necessarily historical or factual.

A story of faith, fanaticism, and the uncanny power of the imagination.The dawn of the Victorian era: the world is changing rapidly. Poverty and the workhouse cast long shadows across rural England, and a traditional way of life is coming to an end.In the villages and fields of Kent, the discontented find an unlikely champion in John Nicholls Tom. Calling himself Sir William Courtenay, he appears to the local magistrates and gentry as a madman, a charlatan, or a dangerous radical. But for the labouring people he is the New Messiah, come to lead them in a revolt against the forces of oppression, and to herald the end of the world.But equality and wealth redistribution are dangerous ideas, and in May 1838 Toms crusade ignites into bloody violence. The confrontation that follows will shock the country, and become known as the last battle ever fought on English soil.Mad Toms Rising presents an alternative vision of early Victorian England, as a place of mystical religious faith, riot and disturbance, surveillance and insecurity, arson and uproar. Drawing on original sources, it reconstructs the strange and astonishing events of that time, and the lives and experiences of those forever marked by them.

Este é um livro para quem acorda cansado, para quem se sente perdido no meio do próprio ritmo, e para quem, apesar disso, ainda deseja viver de um modo mais inteiro. Em Cansado de ficar cansado, Davi Lago e Alana Anijar propem uma travessia lucida por um dos males mais discretos e, ao mesmo tempo, mais universais do nosso tempo: o cansaço cronico.Entrelaçando psicologia, espiritualidade e experiencias reais, os autores percorrem as trilhas do esgotamento contemporaneo com um olhar atento e sensivel. Alana, a partir de anos de escuta clinica, revela como pessoas comuns carregam fadigas profundas que no se resolvem com uma noite de sono. Davi, vindo do cuidado pastoral e da pesquisa academica, ilumina o impacto emocional e existencial das dores que no cabem nos diagnosticos. Juntos, eles constroem um texto que nasce do encontro, das conversas francas, dos relatos reais, e cada capitulo aponta caminhos para uma vida mais leve, madura e consciente uma vida que no ignora a correria, mas aprende a respirar dentro dela.
