Sinopse

Step beyond the marble statues and political intrigue to uncover the authentic voices of ordinary Romans who built history's most enduring civilization. "Living in Ancient Rome" transforms our understanding of the ancient world by revealing the daily experiences of merchants, soldiers, slaves, and families whose lives shaped an empire spanning three continents.
 
Through groundbreaking archaeological discoveries and forgotten personal accounts, historian Aidan J. Lloyd brings to life the bustling streets of Pompeii, the frontier settlements of Britain, and the diverse communities that made Rome truly cosmopolitan. From a Celtic blacksmith earning Roman citizenship to a Syrian merchant navigating Mediterranean trade routes, these untold stories illuminate how millions of people from vastly different cultures became Romans while maintaining their unique identities.
 
This comprehensive journey spans over eight centuries, from Rome's humble beginnings as an Italian city-state through its transformation into a global superpower. Discover how revolutionary citizenship laws created history's first truly multicultural society, explore the sophisticated economic networks that connected Britain to Egypt, and witness the religious diversity that flourished within Roman borders long before Christianity's rise.
 
Lloyd masterfully weaves together archaeological evidence, personal inscriptions, and historical documents to reveal how ordinary people experienced major historical events. Learn about the veteran colonies that spread Roman culture, the mystery religions that offered spiritual alternatives, and the complex social dynamics that held this vast empire together.
 
Perfect for history enthusiasts and casual readers alike, this engaging narrative challenges everything you thought you knew about ancient Rome. Rather than focusing solely on emperors and battles, "Living in Ancient Rome" celebrates the human stories that created Western civilization's foundations.
 
Experience history as it was truly lived – through the eyes of the people who made it.

    At what point can a Christian teacher no longer be part of a public education system that requires them to participate in teaching destructive ideologies and advancing immoral agendas on young children? 
     
    John Stamper reached that tipping point as a teacher in the Chicago Public School System and made the decision to quit his job and pull back the curtain on what’s happening in public schools today. 
     
    You’ve seen the stories on the news – our national education system has an agenda, being implemented under the guise of fairness, equality, and racial justice to children. However, this book will open your eyes to: 
     
    The indoctrination process through mandatory teacher training that implements these radical ideologies in schools without parental knowledgeThe danger and division created by critical race theory and gender theory being promoted in public schoolsHow Marxist, socialist, and communist ideologies are dominating public schools, and how you move forward with homeschooling your children 
     
    For generations, teachers have been excellent role models, investing their time and energy into fundamental lessons. However, today a growing number think they, the school board, and their school system know more than parents about what should be taught to students. You need to know what is going on in your child’s school and be prepared for the conflict of values that you may have to face. 
     
    You have options.

    John Locke: Enlightenment philosopher, father of liberalism, inventor of “natural rights,” and accidental spiritual patron of land developers, libertarians, and your uncle who won’t shut up about property taxes. 
    In this gloriously sarcastic takedown of one of Western philosophy’s most over-quoted minds, Sophia Blackwell (Kant You Not, No Self, No God, No Clue) guides you through Locke’s greatest hits—including: 
    The blank slate theory, which basically says you’re born dumb and the world makes you worse 
    His ideas on identity, which collapse the second you forget your phone password 
    His version of consent, which mostly consists of “You didn’t leave, so I assume you’re fine with it.” 
    And of course, property rights—where mixing your labor with the earth somehow makes it yours, and stealing land becomes morally correct as long as you bring a shovel 
    Locke’s political philosophy inspired democracies, revolutions, and every 400-comment Reddit thread titled “Taxation is theft.” 
    This is not a respectful biography. 
    This is a roast. A eulogy. A survival guide for understanding how Locke gave us: 
    Liberalism 
    Landlords 
    Legal headaches 
    And a political system that thinks fencing off a patch of dirt = moral superiority 
    Perfect for: 
    Recovering philosophy students 
    Political skeptics 
    Enlightenment haters 
    Property law survivors 
    And anyone who wants to laugh while questioning whether government is just a giant metaphor for a really passive-aggressive roommate agreement 
    You don’t need to read Two Treatises of Government. 
    You just need to know Locke said, “I think I own that,” and people believed him.

    Spare the Rod traces the history of discipline in schools and its ever-increasing integration with prison and policing, ultimately arguing for an approach to discipline that aligns with the moral community that schools could and should be. 
     
    In Spare the Rod, historian Campbell F. Scribner and philosopher Bryan R. Warnick investigate the history and philosophy of America’s punishment and discipline practices in schools. To delve into this controversial subject, they first ask questions of meaning. How have concepts of discipline and punishment in schools changed over time? What purposes are they supposed to serve? And what can they tell us about our assumptions about education? They then explore the justifications. Are public school educators ever justified in punishing or disciplining students? Are discipline and punishment necessary for students’ moral education, or do they fundamentally have no place in education at all? If some form of punishment is justified in schools, what ethical guidelines should be followed?  
     
    The authors argue that as schools have grown increasingly bureaucratic over the last century, formalizing disciplinary systems and shifting from physical punishments to forms of spatial or structural punishment such as in-school suspension, school discipline has not only come to resemble the operation of prisons or policing, but has grown increasingly integrated with those institutions. These changes and structures are responsible for the school-to-prison pipeline. They show that these shifts disregard the unique status of schools as spaces of moral growth and community oversight and are incompatible with the developmental environment of education. What we need, they argue, is an approach to discipline and punishment that fits with the sort of moral community that schools could and should be.

    Open Fire - Poems

    Even as they consider the paradoxical properties of fire, its potential both for creativity and for destruction, the poems in this book burn with the intent to illuminate the objects of their contemplation. Open Fire conjures both the violent imperative of a firing squad, and the communal warmth radiating from a campfire. In persona and ekphrastic forms, Gorlin jimmies the lock of her identity to pull off daring acts of imaginative immersion and poetic ventriloquism as she adventures into the images of artists, and the lives of figures featured in the Bible, myth, literature, history, biography, fashion design, and current events. Imagine yourself as the apparition of the Virgin of Guadalupe, Leda with a surprising assessment of the swan, the World War II photographer Lee Miller in Hitler’s bathtub, the British fashionista Isabella Blow, and even Death itself mourning over the Covid epidemic.
