Sinossi

"Keys Before Locks" explores the captivating history of security in ancient civilizations, revealing how keys emerged as symbols of power and influenced the evolution of security measures. Long before modern locks, early societies developed ingenious strategies to protect their valuables, from fortified granaries in Ancient Egypt to guarded treasuries in Mesopotamia. 

 
The book unearths intriguing facts, such as how keys reflected social hierarchy and control, demonstrating that access to resources was tightly managed. The book argues that the key predates and influenced the invention of the lock, a concept supported by archaeological evidence and historical texts. It begins by introducing security concepts in the ancient world, then explores the development and deployment of keys across various cultures, analyzing their construction, use, and symbolic significance.

 
Ultimately, the book traces the legacy of these early security measures, highlighting their influence on modern locking mechanisms and security protocols. What sets "Keys Before Locks" apart is its focus on the key as the primary driver of security innovation, influencing social hierarchies and technological advancements. This approach offers a fresh perspective on the evolution of security systems and provides valuable insights into the broader dynamics of power and control in early civilizations.

Wind in the Willows The (version 2)

Kenneth Grahame

This much-loved story follows a group of animal friends in the English countryside as they pursue adventure ... and as adventure pursues them!  The chief characters - Mole, Rat, and Toad - generally lead upbeat and happy lives, but their tales are leavened with moments of terror, homesickness, awe, madcap antics, and derring-do. 
Although classed as children's literature, The Wind in the Willows holds a gentle fascination for adults too.  The vocabulary is decidedly not "Dick and Jane", and a reader with a love of words will find new ones to treasure, even if well-equipped for the journey.  Parents will appreciate the themes of loyalty, manners, self-restraint, and comradeship which are evident throughout the book.  When the characters err, they are prompt to acknowlege it, and so a reading of this book can model good behavior to children, who will otherwise be enchanted with the many ways in which the lives of these bucolic characters differ from modern life. 
This book was so successful that it enabled the author to retire from banking and take up a country life somewhat like that of his creations.  It has been adapted for screen, stage, and even a ride at the original Disneyland.(Summary by Mark F. Smith)

Plato's Laches

Plato

Laches, a general in the Athenian army, saw Socrates fight bravely in the battle of Delium. When he and Nicias, another general, are asked to explain the idea of courage, they are at a loss, and words fail them.How does courage differ from thoughtless and reckless audacity? Can a lion be said to be courageous? What about small children who have little idea of the dangers they face? Should we call people courageous who do not know whether their bravery will produce good or bad consequences? What kind of education and training promotes both courage and goodness in people, whether they are young or old?Plato constantly presents courage as an essential quality for all who seek to live a good life, so what does it mean when even the bravest leaders of Athens cannot tell us what courage really is?© Agora Publications
