Free Download Daniel Whistler, "Francois Hemsterhuis and the Writing of Philosophy"
English | ISBN: 1399509829 | 2022 | 312 pages | EPUB | 466 KB
François Hemsterhuis (1721-1790) was the most significant Dutch philosopher after Spinoza. Daniel Whistler argues that Hemsterhuis’ philosophy matters and that its exclusion from the canon of modern philosophy has been unjust. This is not just because of its reception history – its influence on later German thinkers, such as Goethe, Hamann, Hegel, Herder, Hölderlin, Jean Paul, Kant, Jacobi, Novalis, Schelling, the Schlegels, Schleiermacher, Wieland – but is primarily because Hemsterhuis’ philosophy contains a rich assemblage of ideas and philosophical practices.

Free Download Teresa Limpo, "Executive Functions and Writing"
English | ISBN: 019886356X | 2021 | 312 pages | EPUB | 3 MB
Executive functions are a set of cognitive processes we use to act on information, manage resources, and plan and monitor our own behaviour, all with the aim of achieving an end goal. These are skills that develop from infancy. While ‘reading’ has been extensively studied in psychology literature, ‘writing’ has been somewhat neglected, despite a lack of capability in this area being linked to poverty and social exclusion.

Free Download Laura Smith, "Ecological Restoration and the U.S. Nature and Environmental Writing Tradition: A Rewilding of American Letters"
English | ISBN: 3030861473 | 2022 | 373 pages | PDF | 8 MB
This book presents a critical history of the intersections between American environmental literature and ecological restoration policy and practice. Through a storying―restorying―restoring framework, this book explores how entanglements between writers and places have produced literary interventions in restoration politics. The book considers the ways literary landscapes are politicized by writers themselves, and by conservationists, activists, policymakers, and others, in defense of U.S. public lands and the idea of wilderness. The book profiles five environmental writers and examines how their writings on nature, wildness, wilderness, conservation, preservation, and restoration have variously inspired and been translated into ecological restoration programs and campaigns by environmental organizations. The featured authors are Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) at Walden Pond, John Muir (1838-1914) in Yosemite National Park, Aldo Leopold (1887-1948) at his family’s Wisconsin sand farm, Marjory Stoneman Douglas (1890-1998) in the Everglades, and Edward Abbey (1927-1989) in Glen Canyon. This book combines environmental history, literature, biography, philosophy, and politics in a commentary on considering (and developing) environmental literature’s place in conversations on restoration ecology, ecological restoration, and rewilding.
