Sinopsis

Throughout history, powerful empires and nations have risen to global dominance—only to fall, often as quickly as they ascended. The Rise and Fall of Great Powers: Lessons from History examines the patterns, principles, and pivotal moments behind the successes and failures of history’s greatest powers, from ancient empires to modern superpowers. This insightful exploration reveals why some nations achieve enduring influence, while others crumble under the weight of their own ambitions.By studying the economic, military, cultural, and political forces that shape empires, this book identifies recurring themes and critical decisions that have defined the fate of civilizations. From the might of Rome to the Golden Age of China, from the British Empire to the United States and beyond, The Rise and Fall of Great Powers draws lessons from the triumphs and missteps of history’s most influential powers. Each chapter provides a deep dive into the strategies and challenges faced by these nations, offering insights into what enabled them to thrive and what ultimately led to their decline.This book not only recounts historical events but also considers the implications for today’s global landscape. As modern nations navigate the complex pressures of economic competition, political instability, technological change, and environmental crises, the stories of past empires offer valuable insights into the factors that can sustain—or undermine—a nation’s power.Ideal for history enthusiasts, students of international relations, and anyone intrigued by the dynamics of power, The Rise and Fall of Great Powers provides a roadmap to understanding the forces that continue to shape our world. Whether you’re interested in the leadership strategies that hold nations together or the vulnerabilities that hasten their fall, this book reveals why the lessons of history are as relevant now as they’ve ever been.

    Tolkien For Beginners will introduce the reader to the multilayered depth and breadth of Tolkien’s tales of Middle-earth, what critics, following Tolkien’s lead, refer to collectively as his legendarium. J.R.R. Tolkien sweeps us away to a distant time and place that is at the same time, our own time and place. He takes us to a world where difficult choices must be made and are made, where character is defined by those choices, and where redemption is possible though not always embraced. The Lord of the Rings taps a deep root in the human psyche. There is much death, destruction, and defeat in Tolkien’s world, but there is even more friendship, courage, and hope. What one remembers when one finishes reading The Lord of the Rings is not the vice of the villains, as strong and as well drawn as it is, but the virtue that empowers the heroes to resist it, even at the cost of their own lives.  It will be the goal of Tolkien For Beginners to introduce the reader to the multilayered depth and breadth of Tolkien’s tales of Middle-earth. To do justice to the full dimensions of that legendarium, author Louis Markos will speak in two voices: that of the storyteller who loves the stories he tells and that of the critic who seeks to identify and explicate key themes from those stories. In his telling and analysis, he will treat the legendarium both as a collection of secondary-world myths with their own integrity and as a reflection of Tolkien’s Catholic worldview.

    How to Say No - An Ancient Guide...

    The Cynics were ancient Greek philosophers who stood athwart the flood of society's material excess, unexamined conventions, and even norms of politeness and thundered "No!" Diogenes, the most famous Cynic, wasn't shy about literally extending his middle finger to the world. When asked why he was called Diogenes the Dog, he replied "because I fawn on those who give, I bark at those who don't, and I bite scoundrels." How to Say No is a delightful collection of brief ancient writings about Cynicism that captures all the outrageousness, wit, and wisdom of its remarkable cast of characters—from Diogenes in the fourth century BCE to the column-stander Symeon Stylites in late antiquity. 
     
     
     
    With their "less is more" approach to life, the Cynics speak urgently to our world of climate change, economic uncertainty, and psychic malaise. Although the Cynics weren't writers, their memorable utterances and behavior were recorded by their admirers and detractors, and M. D. Usher offers fresh new translations of appealing selections from this body of writing—ranging from street sermons and repartee to biography and snapshots of Cynics in action. 
     
     
     
    Complete with introductions to the volume, this lively book demonstrates why the Cynics still retain their power to surprise us and make us laugh—and to make us think and question how we live.
