Sinopse

In "Democracy in America," Alexis de Tocqueville undertakes an ambitious exploration of American society and its democratic principles during the early 19th century. Through a keen sociopolitical lens, Tocqueville employs a blend of empirical observation and philosophical inquiry, illustrated by his rich prose and analytical depth. The work manifests a unique literary style that intertwines narrative with profound reflections on equality, individualism, and the emerging social conditions of a nation grappling with the ideals of democracy, revealing both the strengths and inherent contradictions of the political system at that time. Tocqueville, a French aristocrat, was profoundly influenced by the tumultuous democratic movements in Europe and sought to comprehend the successful democratic experiment in the United States. His own background and experiences as a member of the French aristocracy under the specter of revolution provided him with a distinctive vantage point from which to scrutinize the dynamics of class, politics, and society. These insights culminate in a work that not only examines the American experience but also invites deeper contemplation of democracy as a global phenomenon. "Democracy in America" is an essential read for anyone interested in political science, sociology, or American history. Tocqueville's foresight into the challenges and possibilities of democratic governance remains strikingly relevant today, making this seminal text a cornerstone for understanding contemporary democratic societies. Engaging and thought-provoking, it prompts readers to reflect on the nature of equality, freedom, and the future of democracy.

    The African Emperor - The Life...

    Septimius Severus was Rome's black emperor. Born in the blistering heat of a North African spring in Leptis Magna AD 145, he died in the freezing cold of a northern British winter in York in AD 211. A giant of an emperor, whose career can be counted in superlatives, Severus was in power at the height of Rome's might. He led the largest army to ever campaign in Britain, comprising 50,000 men, part of a Roman military establishment which peaked at 33 legions under his rule.
    
    
    
    Born into the richest family, in the richest part of the Roman Empire, Severus monumentalised his rule across the empire. He visited - and often fought in - every region. Where he did, he left a mighty legacy in the built environment, for example in Rome where much of the Forum Romanum and most of the imperial palaces are Severan. In North Africa, his hometown of Leptis Magna is all Severan, as are the Roman cities at the Atlas mountains. In London, the land walls that still define the City's Square Mile were delineated under his rule. Visitors to the under croft at York Minster can stand where he died.
    
    
    Septimius Severus was one of the greatest warrior emperors, a hard man who almost died in battle several times and whose attitude is reflected in his deathbed advice to two sons: 'Be of one mind with your family, enrich the soldiers, and despise the rest.'

    Sacred Drugs - How Psychoactive...

    Sacred Drugs explores the numerous ways in which psychoactive substances, from alcohol to psilocybin, cannabis to pharmaceuticals, and coffee to tobacco, intersect with religious life. This cutting-edge volume acknowledges the ubiquity of drug use in American society and that, in fact, being drugged with an altered state of consciousness is a common feature of American life today, as it has been throughout human history and across global ancient cultures. Its focus is on the undeniable and pervasive evidence that drugs are often consumed for religious purposes. 
    Sacred Drugs touches on the presence of drugs in a number of religious traditions, including Christianity, Hinduism, and Islam. It also delves into the religious textures, sensibilities, and histories of psychoactive agents, sometimes intersecting with these traditions, sometimes with Indigenous cultures around the world, and sometimes not directly related to any particular religion, but instead related to more basic existential religious concerns: a mortal body that suffers, ages, and dies, but also yearns for transcendence, healing, and ecstasy; or the desire to uncover and live true to one's identity, as well as to find energizing communities that bind individuals together; or how to counter chaos, meaninglessness, and disorder. This controversial book will be the go-to volume for readers interested in the complex relationship between religious life and psychoactive substances.
