Most Read This Week In Humanities

[close] Medical Humanism: in which the goal is not just eradicating disease but effectively communicating, empathizing and showing compassion for patients. We're a group of book readers who want to better understand the intricacies of the medical world through literature. We'll be selecting a book to read throughout the month as a group. Looking forward to some amazing discussions!

[close] A bookclub for members of American Academy of Hospice and Palliative Medicine: Here we can "collect" and discuss books related to medical humanities and palliative care. A good website to also refer to: http://arts.pallimed.org/

[close] This is our class group where we will share reviews of books we have read during this grade 8 year. It will also serve as an independent book reading task starting in trimester 3. The purpose of this task is to provide a place to share what books you loved (and what books you might not have loved) in a mature and responsible way.

[close] This group will focus on literature and books concerning history, philosophy, psychology, natural and social science, religion and spirituality, and the arts published at least 50 years ago, the theory being: first, that the long-term reputation of a book is a more reliable filter to sort wheat from chaff than contemporary reviews or sales; second, that the books we read will address enduring themes and raise enduring questions; and, third, that judgment and taste should be seasoned by history and familiarity with the best writing and ideas of the past.
