  This book contains these titles: 
  Kierkegaard - Søren Kierkegaard, often regarded as the father of existentialism, was born on May 5, 1813, in Copenhagen, Denmark. His early life was marked by tragedy, as his mother died when he was just a child, and his father, a deeply religious man, instilled in him a sense of guilt and the weight of existential questioning. Kierkegaard’s relationship with his father deeply influenced his philosophical development, particularly in his exploration of faith, despair, and the individual's relationship with God. 
  Jean-Paul Sartre - Jean-Paul Sartre, a towering figure in 20th-century philosophy, is perhaps best known for his development of existentialism, a school of thought that emphasizes individual freedom, choice, and the creation of meaning in an otherwise indifferent universe. Sartre’s philosophy arises from the existentialist tradition but distinguishes itself through its rigorous approach to human freedom and responsibility. At the heart of Sartre's thought is the idea that human beings are condemned to be free, burdened with the constant task of making choices without any external justification or predetermined essence.

  An illuminating history of the reform agenda in higher education. 
   
  For well over one hundred years, people have been attempting to make American colleges and universities more efficient and more accountable. Indeed, Ethan Ris argues in Other People’s Colleges, the reform impulse is baked into American higher education, the result of generations of elite reformers who have called for sweeping changes in the sector and raised existential questions about its sustainability. When that reform is beneficial, offering major rewards for minor changes, colleges and universities know how to assimilate it. When it is hostile, attacking autonomy or values, they know how to resist it. The result is a sector that has learned to accept top-down reform as part of its existence. 
    
  In the early twentieth century, the “academic engineers,” a cadre of elite, external reformers from foundations, businesses, and government, worked to reshape and reorganize the vast base of the higher education pyramid. Their reform efforts were largely directed at the lower tiers of higher education, but those efforts fell short, despite the wealth and power of their backers, leaving a legacy of successful resistance that affects every college and university in the United States. Today, another coalition of business leaders, philanthropists, and politicians is again demanding efficiency, accountability, and utility from American higher education. But, as Ris argues, top-down design is not destiny. Drawing on extensive and original archival research, Other People’s Colleges offers an account of higher education that sheds light on today’s reform agenda.

  The Battle of Lepanto - The Last...

  The Battle of Lepanto, fought on October 7, 1571, stands as one of the most significant naval engagements in history. A defining moment in the struggle between Christian Europe and the expanding Ottoman Empire, it marked the climax of a centuries-long clash for dominance in the Mediterranean. Lepanto not only shaped the balance of power in the region but also signaled the beginning of the decline of the Ottoman naval supremacy. As one of the last great fleet engagements in history, the battle is remembered as a pivotal moment in the defense of Christendom and the resistance to Ottoman expansion. 
  At the heart of the conflict was the Ottoman Empire, a rising superpower that had established itself as a dominant force in the Mediterranean by the 16th century. Under the leadership of Suleiman the Magnificent, the Ottomans expanded their reach into North Africa and into Europe, pushing towards the gates of Vienna. By the time of the Battle of Lepanto, the Ottomans controlled much of the eastern Mediterranean, and their navy was one of the largest and most powerful in the world. However, the rapid expansion of the empire also stirred fears among Christian nations, who saw their way of life threatened by the growing Ottoman presence. 
  In response to this looming threat, Pope Pius V initiated the formation of the Holy League, an alliance of Catholic maritime states including Spain, Venice, and the Papal States. This coalition sought to halt the Ottoman advance and safeguard Christian territories in the Mediterranean. The Holy League’s formation was both a religious and political reaction to the Ottoman Empire's imperial ambitions.
