New Releases by James Bowen

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.

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.

"Jag inser att det kan låta konstigt och till och med lite löjligt att säga så här om en katt, men jag tycker att han är en sann inspirationskälla. Det är som om han vore en gammal filosof som förstår sig på allt och alla i sin omgivning. Som om han redan har sett allt förut och vet allt om livet. De senaste tio åren har han faktiskt varit ett slags guru för mig." - James Bowen I Bobs lilla bok om livet delar James Bowen, författare till den internationella bästsäljaren Gatukatten Bob, med sig av de erfarenheter och insikter han fått under åren med sin trogne vapendragare Bob.

This film tells the moving and life-affirming true story of the unlikely friendship between a young homeless busker, James Bowen, and the stray ginger cat named Bob who changed his life.

On 4 June 1629, the Batavia, pride of the Dutch East India Company Fleet, was wrecked on her maiden voyage in a seemingly empty expanse of the Indian Ocean. The question “how did this happen?” led to 300 years of investigation by those curious to solve the enigma: what are corals and how are coral reefs formed?. Relying heavily on primary source material Part 1 traces the sequential evolution of scientific thought and practice as the author explores the way this evolution is reflected in the search for understanding corals. At each stage, answers lead to fresh questions that challenge investigators to solve the riddle and new branches of science emerge. Then, with the first enigma finally understood, a new enigma arose. Why are Reefs dying? Part 2 traces the range of problems that have emerged in the past 50 years as marine, ecological, reef and climate scientists attempt to put the pieces of the jigsaw together. Is there a new “canary in the coal mine” warning of the fate of the world as we know it if man’s impact on his environment continues unchecked?.
