Uma oferta imperdível na Amazon, especialmente se você pretender educar seu filho para ser bilíngue

E este é apenas um dos muitos 'giveaways'(brindes, produtos gratuitos) oferecidos pelo site da Amazon.com em termos de e-books (livros digitais), lembrando que para se poder lê-los, não é necessário se comprar o aparelho Kindle mas apenas baixar o programa leitor que eles oferecem ao se comprar qualquer livro no site, mesmo estes gratuitos, desde que você tenha aberto uma conta lá. A abertura da conta em si é também gratuita, apenas necessita de um cartão de crédito. Eu abri a minha no site internacional pois muitas vezes um produto que procuro não é encontrado no site do Brasil (amazon.com.br) mas é possível se alternar as contas se o quiser entre o site brasileiro e o internacional. Contudo, se você adquirir o Prime, tipo de plano com vários benefícios e atualmente muito em conta no site nacional, ele só valerá para o site no qual você o adotou. Por exemplo, no meu caso, o adotei na página brasileira (amazon.com.br) e só é válido para tal conta, não para a internacional. No entanto, adotar o Prime é totalmente opcional, não sendo obrigatório para se poder abrir a conta em si!
Há vários outros e-books por enquanto gratuitos até este momento, basta dar uma olhada em alguns exemplos de outra postagem que fiz com alguns deles e cujo link dou logo abaixo do livro mencionado nesta. Neles há tanto obras literárias como alguns didáticos de matemática básica em diferentes níveis escolares, etc. O livro abaixo contém muitas ilustrações e é extremamente atrativo para os alunos das primeiras séries, tornando o aprendizado tanto mais agradável como mais eficiente:
Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar for KS3 - Study Guide (CGP KS3 English) Kindle Edition

 A propósito, alguns links sobre as equivalências dos níveis escolares básico, médio e superior dos EUA e Reino Unido e o do Brasil:

Mais de cem títulos de e-books gratuitos (até a data da postagem) no site da Amazon.com

Em tempo:

 Não é necessário comprar-se o aparelho leitor digital Kindle para se poder ler algum livro digital da Amazon! Basta que se baixe o software gratuito do aplicativo, que, ao contrário de outros aplicativos, pode sim ser usado tanto em desktop computers (computadores de mesa) como em celulares, tablets, etc! 
Para fazê-lo, contudo, assim como até para baixar os e-books - sejam eles gratuitos ou pagos - é necessário que se abra uma conta no site da Amazon, a qual também é gratuita, necessitando apenas que se cadastre uma forma de pagamento (em geral, cartão de crédito).
Além disso, penas se a pessoa optar, poderá adotar o novo plano Prime, que há algum tempo, além dos vários benefícios, dá também direito aos seriados e filmes constantes como incluídos no plano na seção de vídeos do Prime (antigo "Prime Video"). Ou seja, é opcional, já que a conta é realmente gratuita em seu plano básico.

 * A respeito to termo 'Eskimo' (esquimó): ele, já há algumas décadas, passou a ser politicamente incorreto, um termo com origem pejorativa e há muitos bons artigos explicando a razão. Em geral, dá-se preferência à palavra Inuit (plural), Inuk (singular). Um bom artigo introdutório sobre o assunto, embora haja muitos outros perfeitamente recomendáveis na web, tratando-se apenas de uma sugestão dentre muitas outras válidas em termos educativos:

A Tale of Two Cities (AmazonClassics Edition) Kindle Edition

by Charles Dickens (Author) 

 Atenção: Até o momento desta postagem, pelo menos, esta raridade está sendo oferecida gratuitamente:
Uma obra sobre os judeus que conseguiram driblar espetacularmente os nazistas em Berlin, entre 1941 e 1945. Um estudo tão detalhado como fartamente documentado, uma verdadeira preciosidade histórica e em especial pelos fascinados pelo tema da Segunda Grande Guerra e os sobreviventes do Holocausto em geral, judeus e não judeus de outras minorias ou da própria Resistência alemã ao nazismo, pois estes também os houve, embora não sejam o tema do estudo desta obra.

Submerged on the Surface: The Not-So-Hidden Jews of Nazi Berlin, 1941–1945 


As linhas finais da descrição da obra pelo site da Amazon:
" ...The Archaeology of Human Ancestry is an essential introduction to the subject for advanced undergraduates and researchers in archaeology and biological anthropology. It will also be used by workers in psychology, sociology and feminist studies as a resource for understanding human social origins."

Everything Flows: Towards a Processual Philosophy of Biology [Print Replica] by Daniel J. Nicholson (Editor), John Dupré (Editor)

 Achei importante ressaltar estes trechos da descrição deste trabalho científico, dados pelo Amazon.com, já que alguns títulos oferecidos por eles também são encontrados para download gratuito em sites não comerciais da web. Além disso, os trechos escolhidos ressaltam aspectos importantes da obra:
"This is an open access title available under the terms of a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 International licence. It is free to read at Oxford Scholarship Online and offered as a free PDF download from OUP and selected open access locations."
"Everything Flows explores the metaphysical thesis that the living world is not made up of substantial particles or things, as has often been supposed, but is rather constituted by processes. ..."
"... Even entities that intuitively appear to be paradigms of things, such as organisms, are actually better understood as processes. ..."
E finalizam:
"... This edited volume brings together philosophers of science and metaphysicians interested in exploring the prospects of a processual philosophy of biology. The contributors draw on an extremely wide range of biological case studies, and employ a process perspective to cast new light on a number of traditional philosophical problems, such as identity, persistence, and individuality."

Acho importante ressaltar este trecho da descrição dada pelo Amazon.com:
"This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license.
This book breaks new ground by situating animals and their diseases at the very heart of modern medicine. In demonstrating their historical significance as subjects and shapers of medicine, it offers important insights into past animal lives, and reveals that what we think of as ‘human’ medicine was in fact deeply zoological. ..."

Ancient Greek Literary Letters: Selections in Translation (Routledge Classical Translations)  Patricia A. Rosenmeyer (Author) 


 O trecho final da descrição da obra pelo site:

"... Patricia Rosenmeyer, an authority on the history of the Greek letter, assembles in this book a representative selection of such 'literary letters', from Aelian and Alciphron to Philostrartus and the supposed letters of Themistocles."
"The book will be valuable for all students of Greek literature especially those studying Greek (and Latin) letter."



As linhas finais da descrição da obra pelo Amazon.com:
" ... a study that nuances and contests an excessively-negative yet prevalent image of the Iberian societies, explores the difficult relationship between empires and globalization and opens paths for comparisons to other imperial formations."

Bread and Circuses: Theories of Mass Culture As Social Decay by Patrick Brantlinge           


As linhas iniciais da descrição da obra pelo site:
"Lively and well written, Bread and Circuses analyzes theories that have treated mass culture as either a symptom or a cause of social decadence. Discussing many of the most influential and representative theories of mass culture, it ranges widely from Greek and Roman origins, through Marx, Nietzsche, Freud, Ortega y Gasset, T. S. Eliot, and the theorists of the Frankfurt Institute, down to Marshall McLuhan and Daniel Bell. ..."

As linhas finais da descrição, muito elucidativas sobre a natureza da obra:
"... While not defending mass culture in its present form, Brantlinger argues that the view of culture implicit in negative classicism obscures the question of how the media can best be used to help achieve freedom and enlightenment on a truly democratic basis."

Um dos títulos incluídos aqui que também pode ser achado para download gratuito em sites sem fins lucrativos é a obra clássica de Ambrose Bierce de sátira e crítica sócio-polpitica:

"The Devil's Dictionary" Ambrose Bierce 


Um trecho deste artigo muito interessante de junho de 2018, de Gary M. Galles, onde é feita uma análise da conjuntura política nos EUA e a obra em questão:

' ... “Irreverence is the champion of liberty and its one sure defense.” Because of his way with words, “Public figures quaked in fear of his satirical pen.”
Bierce is most remembered for The Devil’s Dictionary, a collection of creative definitions skewering society. ..."
E a conclusão filosófica: "... America’s current political theater seems to make Ambrose Bierce a prophet. And his description of the results seems particularly apt: “We submit to the majority because we have to. But we are not compelled to call our attitude of subjection a posture of respect.” Gary M.

Alguns links introdutórios sobre o incrível e polivalente Ambrose Bierce:
Linhas iniciais desta excelente página sobre ele no site Poetry Foundation:
" ... Ambrose Bierce's literary reputation is based primarily on his short stories about the Civil War and the supernatural—a body of work that makes up a relatively small part of his total output. Often compared to the tales of Edgar Allan Poe, these stories share an attraction to death in its more bizarre forms, featuring depictions of mental deterioration, uncanny and otherworldly manifestations, and the horror of existence in a meaningless universe. ..." In Ambrose Bierce 1842–1914

"Flight during times of persecution has a long and fraught history in early Christianity. In the third century, bishops who fled were considered cowards or, worse yet, heretics. On the face, flight meant denial of Christ and thus betrayal of faith and community. But by the fourth century, the terms of persecution changed as Christianity became the favored cult of the Roman Empire. Prominent Christians who fled and survived became founders and influencers of Christianity over time. ..."

Sheela-na-gigs: Unravelling an Enigma 1st Edition, 

by Barbara Freitag


Trecho da descrição da obra pelo site:
" ... Rich archaeological, historical, ethnographic and folkloric materials combine in this book with cutting-edge theoretical perspectives drawn from relational ontologies and epistemologies, producing a fresh approach to the prehistory and history of a region that is pivotal to understanding Europe-wide processes, such as Neolithization and modernization. ..."
" ... This book is an indispensable read for scholars of archaeology, anthropology, cultural studies and folklore in northern Europe, as well as researchers interested in how the North is intertwined with developments in the broader European and Eurasian world. It provides a deep-time understanding of globally topical issues and conflicting interests, as expressed by debates and controversies around Arctic resources, nature preservation and indigenous rights."

Between Psychology and Philosophy: East-West Themes and Beyond (Palgrave Studies in Comparative East-West Philosophy) 1st Edition, by Michael Slote (Author)

Trecho da descrição da obra pelo site:
" ... Michael Slote shows that empathy and emotion play a role in speech acts (like assertion and thanking) that speech act theory has totally ignored. Similarly, he treats the age-old question of whether justice pays using psychological material that has not previously been recognized. Finally, the implications of psychological egoism are discussed in terms of some new psychological and, indeed, human distinctions. Human life is pervaded by instincts and aspirations that are neither egoistic nor altruistic, and recognizing that fact can help put egoism in its place. It is less of a challenge to morality than we have realized."
