Delphi Complete Works of Andocides Illustrated

Andocides Of Athens

Summary

Andocides was one of the ten Attic orators included in the “Alexandrian Canon” compiled in the third century BC. The son of Leogoras, Andocides belonged to the ancient Eupatrid family of the Kerykes, who traced their lineage to Odysseus and Hermes. He led a political life of misadventures, involving four exiles, numerous accusations, trials, acquittals and condemnations, all set against the turbulent backdrop of this pivotal period of the Athenian Empire. Although an unsuccessful politician, Andocides enjoyed a gift for vivid narrative and employed a simple and unembellished oratorical style.

Guardians of the Peace

Conor Brady

Guardians of the Peace is a political history of the Irish police force, An Garda Síochana, from its foundation at the birth of the Irish State, through the Irish Civil War, the threat of the fascist 'Blueshirts', the continuing campaign of the IRA, de Valera's entry into the Dáil in 1932 and the creation, effectively of his own police force – 'The Broy Harriers' – through World War 2.
As the author outlines in his insightful introduction, the story told in this book is part of a longer and wider narrative. But it is a story which still has relevance as Ireland moves, hopefully, to a new era of peace and stability. It is above all a chronicle of the idealism and the imperfections of ordinary men presented by history with the discharging of a rather extraordinary task.
As the force approaches one hundred years since its founding, it is hoped that this history will evoke the ideals and the founding principles adopted in 1922 and perhaps help to re-interpret and re-apply them in a 21st Century context.

Acceptance and Commitment...

Vivian Westlake

Life is a complex tapestry of joys, sorrows, successes, and challenges. As humans, we often find ourselves striving to avoid discomfort, suppressing unpleasant emotions, or seeking control over our inner struggles. Yet, these strategies often lead to frustration and a sense of disconnection from what truly matters. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy offers a compelling alternative: a way to embrace life’s full spectrum while committing to actions that align with your values and aspirations.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is a modern behavioral therapy rooted in the principle of psychological flexibility—the ability to adapt to changing circumstances, remain present, and take meaningful actions even in the face of adversity. Instead of battling unwanted thoughts and emotions, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages acceptance of them as natural elements of human existence. This shift in perspective allows individuals to redirect their energy from avoidance to engagement, fostering a sense of purpose and fulfillment.
The framework of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is built around six core processes: acceptance, cognitive defusion, mindfulness, self-as-context, values clarification, and committed action. These processes are not isolated steps but interconnected skills that work together to enhance well-being. Acceptance teaches you to make room for difficult emotions without judgment or resistance. Cognitive defusion helps you view your thoughts with clarity, reducing their power to dominate your actions. Mindfulness anchors you in the present moment, while self-as-context fosters a stable and compassionate sense of self. Values clarification identifies what truly matters to you, and committed action translates those values into meaningful, goal-directed behavior.

Preventing Nuclear Annihilation...

Ronald Reagan

On March 23, 1983, President Ronald Reagan gave an address to the nation from the Oval Office challenging “the scientific community … to turn their great talents … to the cause of mankind and world peace, [and] to give us the means of rendering … nuclear weapons impotent and obsolete.” Reagan’s Strategic Defense Initiative to protect America from nuclear annihilation was derided by critics as an unworkable Star Wars program, and the Clinton Administration ended the Strategic Defense Initiative in 1993. There is no effective system in place today to protect the American population from incoming missiles from an expanding list of countries with nuclear capabilities. 
On April 13, 2024, Iran launched, according to Wikipedia, “around 170 drones, over 30 cruise missiles, and more than 120 ballistic missiles toward Israel”. Israel and a coalition of partners, again according to Wikipedia, “destroyed 99 percent of the incoming weapons, most before they reached Israeli airspace.” Damage from the attack was minor. While Israel is protected by an Iron Dome, the United States has no such protection. 
This audiobook includes 4 speeches by President Reagan: His address introducing the Strategic Defense Initiative in 1983, his address to the European Parliament in Strasbourg, France in 1985, his address on national security in 1986, and his address on the Soviet-U.S. Summit in 1987.

The Future of Egyptology

Monica Hanna

When ancient Egypt is mentioned, images often come to mind of tombs covered in hieroglyphs being opened by Victorian-era explorers, revealing "wonderful things"—as Howard Carter famously described upon first glimpsing the treasures of Tutankhamun. But how did Egyptology become the preserve of wealthy Europeans? And what can be done today to restore agency and rightful ownership to the country where this field was born?
