In The Stoics: A Guide for the Perplexed, M. Andrew Holowchak sketches, from Zeno to Aurelius, a framework thatcaptures the tenor of stoic ethical thinking in its key terms. Drawing on the readily available works of Seneca, Epictetus and Aurelius, Holowchak makes ancient texts accessible to students unfamiliar with Stoic thought. Providing ancient and modern-day examples to illustrate Stoic principles, the author guides the reader through the main themes and ideas of Stoic thought: Stoic cosmology, epistemology, views of nature, selfknowledge, perfectionism and, in particular, ethics. Holowchak also endeavours to present Stoicism as an ethically viable way of life today through rejecting their notion of ethical perfectionism in favor of a type of ethical progressivism consistent with other key Stoic principles."--Bloomsbury Publishing 330 8 $aStoicism was a key philosophical movement in the Hellenistic period.

Seagrave's 'Burma Surgeon' is a compelling memoir detailing his experiences as a medical missionary and surgeon in Burma during World War II. The book is divided into three parts, capturing Seagrave's journey from building a hospital in Burma, his experiences on the Burma Road, to his role in the Battle of Burma. Seagrave, a Lieutenant Colonel and medical officer, recounts the challenges faced by his medical team, the construction of medical facilities, and the provision of care under dire conditions. He provides vivid descriptions of the terrain, the hardships of war, and the resilience of the Burmese people. The book also highlights his interactions with the American Volunteer Group and the logistical struggles of wartime medicine. Aimed at readers interested in military history and medicine, the memoir serves as both a historical account and a tribute to the courage and dedication of medical personnel during the war.$7Generated by AI. 606 $aMissions, Medical 606 $aMedicine$zBurma 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$zBurma 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xCivilian relief 615 0$aMissions, Medical. 615 0$aMedicine 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xCivilian relief. 676 $a926.1 700 $aSeagrave$b Gordon Stifler$f1897-1965,$01829259 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910157565403321 996 $aBurma surgeon$94398448 997 $aUNINA
