Sinopse

Aristotle's "Nicomachean Ethics" stands as a foundational text in Western ethical philosophy, providing a systematic inquiry into the nature of the good life and moral virtue. Written in a clear, systematic style, Aristotle explores concepts such as happiness (eudaimonia), moral virtue, and the importance of friendship, weaving together empirical observations with profound philosophical reasoning. Set in the context of Ancient Greece, this work reflects the rich intellectual tradition of the time, engaging with Socratic ideas while proposing a unique virtue ethics framework, emphasizing the cultivation of character over mere adherence to rules. Aristotle, a student of Plato and tutor to Alexander the Great, draws on his extensive empirical studies and philosophical debates, offering insights shaped by a lifetime of inquiry into human behavior and the natural world. His experiences within the Athenian philosophical community and his practical concerns about the nature of human happiness informed his exploration of ethics as a practical pursuit, one intimately connected to human flourishing. This essential text is highly recommended for readers seeking to deepen their understanding of moral philosophy. "Nicomachean Ethics" is not only a cornerstone of ethical thought but also offers timeless wisdom applicable to contemporary life. It invites readers to reflect on their own values and the virtues necessary for a fulfilling existence.

    How to break an arrogant jock? 
    Coach Davis should be happy. His team is on a winning streak. And his arrogant star quarterback, Wade Johnson, has finally learned to shut up and do what he’s told. It turns out that all Wade needed was a firm hand... and the threat of blackmail. 
    Now the coach has Wade in a special kind of training. Properly broken and conditioned, Wade is going to be one hell of a player. And an even better sex slave.

    Agents of Change - The Women Who...

    Years after her successful and impactful career at the CIA, Christina Hillsberg became enthralled with the stories of the trailblazing women who forged new paths within the Agency long before she began her career there in the aughts. These were women who sacrificed their personal lives, risked their safety, defied expectations, and boldly navigated the male-dominated spy organization. 
     
     
     
    Through exclusive interviews with current and former female CIA officers, many of whom have never spoken publicly, Agents of Change tells an enthralling and, at times, disturbing story set against the backdrop of the evolving women's movement. It was the 1960s, a "secretarial" era, when women first gained a foothold and pushed against the one-dimensional, pop-culture trope of the sexy Cold War Bond Girl. Underestimated but undaunted, they fought their way, decade-by-decade, through adversity to the top of the spy game. 
     
     
     
    Seamlessly weaving together the individual stories of these exceptional women, Hillsberg deftly tackles not just the fight for gender equality at the CIA, but the current dilemma the Agency faces when dealing with the culmination of a decades-long culture of sexual harassment and assault.

    Finis Britanniae - A Military...

    The end of Roman Britain and the arrival of the invading Saxons forms part of the most disruptive period in Britain’s history. Centuries of relative stability as a Roman province gave way to an age of conquest and destruction. It is a period which is difficult to comprehend, coming at the end of the Roman era and in the pre-dawn of the Medieval. It is a Dark Age, both in terms of our apparent lack of source material and in our understanding of events. As a result, several legendary figures appear – it is the age of Arthur, Merlin and others; figures steeped in mystery, mysticism and magic, allowed to thrive in the paucity of the source material. 
     
    In this new analysis, Murray Dahm explores the military history of Roman Britain’s slow decline, going back to the roots of the province’s final rupture from Rome in the fifth century and the subsequent invasions. Using a wide array of sources, the author illuminates this dark world and examines what we know (or what we think we know) of the Angle, Jute, Saxon and other invasions that took advantage of Rome’s absence and which, in their own way, shaped the Britain of today.
