This set reprints volumes 1, 2 and 3 of James Bowen''s A History of Western Education originally published by Methuen in the 1970s. Volume One: The Ancient World: Orient and Mediterranean 2000B.C - A.D. 1054The volume traces the development of education in the ancient world from the first scribal cultures of Mesopotamia and Egypt to learning in the early Christian church. A detailed account is given of the acheivements of Greece in literacy, learning, philosophy and training for public life - achievements which were further developed in the Hellenistic Orient and incorporated by the Romans into their own highly organized educational system. This leads to the emergence of a specifically Christian ideal of education, the decline of secular learning in the West, and the preservation of learning both in Byzantium and in Western monasticism. Volume Two: Civilization of Europe: Sixth to Sixteenth Century Volume Two follows the growth and process of learning in Europe from its foundations in the Carolingian era through its evolution in medieval Europe - especially italy, France, Germany and England - to its expansion and refinement in the sixteenth century. Particular attention is paid to: * The role of medieval institutions of the cathedral and grammer schools and the university * The contribution of notable scholars of the age such as Abelard, Thomas Aquinas, Erasmus and Luther Volume Three: The Modern West: Europe and the New World The final volume covers the period of educational dissent, which became conspicuous in the early seventeenth century and reached crisis proportions in the late twentieth, when the dominant ideologies of progress and equality, generated at the beginning of the nineteenth century, were questioned for the first time on a widespread, popular scale.

James, un musicista di strada di Londra, ha fatto tante scelte sbagliate nel suo passato di dipendenza. Ma la decisione di adottare Bob, trovato indifeso e ferito fuori dalla porta di casa, è stata probabilmente la più saggia che abbia mai preso: l''amicizia con quel gatto randagio pel di carota, conosciuto oggi in tutto il mondo, ha cambiato per sempre le loro vite. La convivenza con lui ha aiutato James a dare una svolta alla sua esistenza, facendogli aprire gli occhi in molte occasioni. E così Bob si è rivelato più di una volta una fonte d''ispirazione. Brevi lezioni di felicità è una raccolta di pillole di saggezza felina per affrontare gli alti e bassi della vita ispirate alla loro esperienza insieme. Dal valore dell''amicizia all''importanza di rimanere calmi, dal saper apprezzare le piccole gioie quotidiane alle regole per ottenere il massimo da noi stessi: con i suoi comportamenti Bob ci insegna come sopravvivere ai contraccolpi della vita e affrontarla con coraggio. James ha deciso di condividere con i lettori tutto quello che ha imparato osservando il suo gatto, con la speranza che Bob possa aiutare gli altri, così come ha aiutato lui.

Un jour, James, qui est sans domicile fixe, rencontre un chat roux mal en point et blessé. Il décide de le recueillir, de le soigner et c’est le début d’une magnifique histoire d’amitié qui va changer leurs vies à tous les deux. Grâce à son merveilleux chat et à sa sagesse toute féline, James réussit à se réadapter au monde et à reprendre goût à la vie. Chaque jour, Bob lui offre des moments d''intelligence, d''humour et d''amitié. Ce sont ces leçons qu’il nous fait partager dans ce livre extraordinaire. Bob est un chat inspirant qui profite de chaque jour, fait preuve de bienveillance et de loyauté, s’amuse souvent et connaît le secret du bonheur. Un petit chat philosophe qui nous guide, avec des trésors de sagesse, sur les routes de la vie.

Paras opettaja voi olla pörröinen ja löytyä kadulta. Katukatti Bob on täällä taas! Kaiken elämässä tärkeän voi oppia maailman viisaimmalta kissalta! Uusi Katukatti Bob -kirja on vastaansanomaton elämäntaito-opas. Keväällä 2007 kodittoman katusoittajan James Bowenin asuntolan ovella kökötti loukkaantunut oranssi kollikissa. Tuo päivä oli muuttava molempien elämän. Miehestä ja kissasta tuli erottamattomat ystävykset ja myöhemmin, heidän tarinansa kertovan Katukatti Bob -kirjan myötä, maailmankuuluja. Bobin pieni viisauskirja -teoksessaan James kertoo, mitä kaikkea hän on nelijalkaiselta ystävältään yli kymmenen vuoden taipaleen aikana oppinut - ystävyyden tärkeydestä rauhallisena pysymisen taitoon ja hetkestä nauttimisen mahtavaan voimaan. Jamesin omin sanoin: "Olen tiennyt Bobista erään asian ihan alusta lähtien, nimittäin sen, että hän on poikkeuksellisen viisas jopa kissaksi. Kuluneen kymmenen vuoden aikana hänen viisautensa on mielestäni vain kasvanut. Tämä kirja on kokoelma oivalluksista, joita olen saanut Bobin kanssa viettämieni vuosien varrella." James Bowen on entinen asunnoton ja huumeriippuvainen katumuusikko, joka oppi katukatti Bobista huolehtiessaan huolehtimaan myös itsestään. Lontoon kaduilla musisoivasta parista tuli matkailijoiden suosikki, joka päätyi lukuisiin Youtube-videoihin. Internetkuuluisuutta seurasi parin tarinan kertova Katukatti Bob -kirja, josta tuli menestysteos ympäri maailman. Kirjasta on myös tehty elokuva, joka valittiin parhaaksi isobritannialaiseksi elokuvaksi vuonna 2017.

Den sanna berättelsen om gatukatten Bob är ett internationellt fenomen. I England har den framröstats till en av 100 böcker som kommer att förändra ditt liv i kategorin Books that will change the way you think. När James Bowen hittade en skadad, röd gatukatt hopkrupen i huset där han nyss fått en träningslägenhet hade han ingen aning om hur stor betydelse katten skulle få i hans liv. James levde ur hand i mun på Londons gator och det sista han behövde var ett husdjur. Ändå kunde James inte låta bli att hjälpa den slående intelligenta hankatten, som han snart döpte till Bob. Inom kort var de två oskiljaktiga och deras skiftande, lustiga och emellanåt farliga äventyr skulle komma att förändra deras liv och långsamt läka såren från det förflutna.

"Sydäntälämmittävä tarina tuo sanoman toivosta." – Daily Mail Katukatti Bobin isäntä James Bowen kertoo jouluistaan Lontoon kylmillä kaduilla, ja miten ne muuttuivat, kun Bob astui hänen elämäänsä. Joulu oli aina ollut vaikeaa aikaa Jamesille, niin myös vuonna 2010: entisen huumeveikon terveys reistaili, rahaa ei ollut sähköön, ei lämpöön ja hädin tuskin ruokaan. Siksi jäisille kaduille oli pakko lähteä kitara ja lehdet kainalossa. Pikkuhiljaa uskomattoman lämmin joulutunnelma tavoittaa ystävykset. Vasta kun unohtaa itsensä ja saa huolehtia toisista, viriää todellinen joulumieli. Tämän ymmärsi vaikeudet voittanut James kissansa Bobin avulla.

In Bob de straatkat beschreef voormalig zwerver en drugsverslaafde James hoe hij door de vriendschap met Bob een nieuwe invulling aan zijn leven kon geven. Sindsdien is Bob bezig de harten van mensen over de hele wereld te veroveren en misschien wel de beroemdste kat ter wereld te worden.

Trabalhadores correm para o almoço, turistas brotam de todos os lados e clientes entram e saem das lojas. No meio de tudo isso está um gato. Usando um vistoso lenço Union Jack em volta do pescoço e cercado por uma multidão de 30 espectadores de boca aberta, Bob, o gatinho cor de laranja, sorri — é, sorri — timidamente. Próximo a ele, está seu dono James Bowen, com seu violão surrado, cantando músicas do Oasis. Então, ele para de tocar e se abaixa para Bob: "Vamos, Bob, cumprimente!", diz. Bob mexe os bigodes, levanta uma pata e a estende para James. A multidão assobia. Não é todo dia que se vê um gato sentado, calmamente, no centro de Londres, aparentemente sem se abalar com o barulho das sirenes, os carros passando e todo aquele movimento — mas Bob não é um gato comum...
