Sinopse

Aristotle's "Nicomachean Ethics" is a foundational text in Western moral philosophy, exploring the nature of righteousness and the pursuit of the good life. Written in a clear and methodical style, the work combines theoretical inquiry with practical wisdom, emphasizing the importance of virtue and character. Aristotle introduces the concept of the 'Golden Mean,' advocating for moderation and balance in human conduct. Set against the backdrop of classical Greek thought, the text engages with the ethical theories of Socrates and Plato while establishing a distinct approach grounded in empirical observation and human experience. Aristotle, a student of Plato and tutor to Alexander the Great, was deeply influenced by his rich philosophical environment. His empirical approach stemmed from a desire to understand the complexities of human behavior and ethics in the context of the polis, or city-state. This pursuit led him to compile his lectures on ethics into a comprehensive framework that addresses both individual and societal morality, reflecting his profound understanding of human nature and the pursuit of eudaimonia, or flourishing. This seminal work is essential reading for those interested in ethics, philosophy, and the human condition. Aristotle's insights into virtue ethics continue to resonate, providing timeless guidance on how to achieve personal happiness and contribute to the greater good. "Nicomachean Ethics" is not only a rich philosophical treatise but also a practical manual for navigating the complexities of moral life.

    The concept of intersectionality has become a central topic in academic and activist circles alike. But what exactly does it mean, and why has it emerged as such a vital lens through which to explore how social inequalities of race, class, gender, sexuality, age, ability, and ethnicity shape one another?  
     
     
      
    In this fully revised and expanded second edition of their popular text, Patricia Hill Collins and Sirma Bilge provide a much-needed introduction to the field of intersectional knowledge and praxis. Analyzing the emergence, growth, and contours of the concept of intersectionality, the authors also consider its global reach through an array of new topics such as the rise of far-right populism, reproductive justice, climate change, and digital environments and cultures. Accessibly written and drawing on a plethora of lively examples to illustrate its arguments, the book highlights intersectionality's potential for understanding complex architecture of social and economic inequalities and bringing about social justice-oriented change. 
     
     
      
    Intersectionality will be an invaluable resource for anyone grappling with the main ideas, debates, and new directions in this field.

    On November 4, 1979, "student" supporters of the Ayatollah seized the U.S. Embassy with over sixty hostages. Although the Cold War was in full swing, the Iran hostage crisis was a watershed for the United States. 
     
     
     
    Detachment A had been established in Berlin early in the Cold War to harass and delay any Soviet military advance west. This Special unit trained relentlessly for every aspect of unconventional warfare, and was later assigned a second mission of counterterrorism. 
     
     
     
    The plan for Operation Eagle Claw, as it became known, was extremely complex. The first stage was intelligence gathering—no mean feat as most of the CIA's capabilities in the country had been eliminated. With operatives trained in intelligence work, fluent in many languages, and adept at blending in, Det A took on the advanced recon of the targets. Then, when Delta Force admitted that it could only manage the assault of the Embassy, Det A volunteered to rescue the three Americans at the Foreign Ministry. 
     
     
     
    Veteran and historian James Stejskal details Det A's unique and integral role in Operation Eagle Claw, based upon firsthand accounts of the operatives involved.

    The legal home to over a million companies, Delaware has more registered businesses than residents. Why do virtually all of the biggest corporations in the United States register there? This book reveals how a systematic enterprise lies behind the business-friendly corporate veneer, one that has kept the state afloat financially by diverting public funds away from some of the poorest people in the United States and supporting dictators and criminals across the world. 
     
     
     
    Hal Weitzman shows how the de facto capital of corporate America has provided safe haven to money launderers, kleptocratic foreign rulers, and human traffickers, and facilitated tax dodging and money laundering by multinational companies and international gangsters. Revenues from Delaware's business-formation industry, known as the Franchise, account for two-fifths of the state's budget and have helped to keep the tax burden on its residents among the lowest in the United States. Delaware derives enormous political clout from the Franchise, effectively writing the corporate code for the entire country. 
     
     
     
    What's the Matter with Delaware? shows how, in Joe Biden's home state, the corporate laws get written behind closed doors, enabling the rich and powerful to do business in the shadows.
