Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

The primary mission of this text is clarifying many of the
misconceptions about Paulo Freire's theories, concepts and his
implications for education. It revisits his ideas and explains more
fully the philosophical influences that shaped concepts such as
problem posing, conscientization and praxis. The fundamental
thesis, then, is that the present absence of in-depth philosophical
analysis leaves an unacceptable void in the literature addressing
Freire's work, while also promoting frequent misconceptions and
superficial understandings about his relationship to contemporary
education. Indeed, the philosophical assumptions contributing to
Freire's critical pedagogy require identification, unravelling and
ultimately evaluation on the basis of their epistemic and moral
tenability. Most existing applications of Freire's pedagogy are
unfortunately superficial because they simply sloganize terms such
as banking education, conscientization, praxis, and humanization. A
slogan in education popularizes a concept or idea in a positive
way, but offers very little in terms of critical reflection or
analysis. In order to understand these terms and their origin and
apply them as Freire intended, a far richer and more in depth
examination of Freire is desperately needed. This text will provide
precisely that type of examination.

Dear Joe Boy: Story of a Mother's Love explores and included
letters written by an Indiana mother to her son during WWII. He was
stationed on a secret project in the Manaus Island in the Pacific
theatre. Many service members wrote letters home and many of those
letters survive. This story is unique because the letters were sent
from a small Indiana community, into harm's way and they made their
way back home with the sailor. Importantly, the letters then
survived 70 years in an Indiana barn before they were rediscovered.
This is a very personal story and readers will have a chance to
read original letters' transcriptions.

Great writers engage with the changing times and by using their
imaginations transform their ideas and environments into fiction.
More than any other writer of the 20th century, George Orwell
responded to a period of historical change by imagining his
dystopian future of Nineteen Eighty-Four, perhaps the most
influential political novel ever written. At the same time
'Nineteen Eighty-Four' was very much a product of post-war England
with its rations and shortages. Orwell, in fact, remained a
socialist until his death in January 1950, but the far more
intriguing question is what Nineteen Eighty-Four would be like if
it were written today, in an age of Islamist terror, fake news and
post-truth politics.
It's October 2048 and an Islamist political Party has swept to
power in Britain's general elections. Overnight the country is
transformed by the introduction of the blasphemy laws. An
Australian history teacher who lost his wife and daughter in a
terror attack arrives in London to make contact with the leader of
the Resistance. When he becomes involved with a homeless young
woman, he discovers the possibility of a new life for both of them
far from the dangers of the new London.
