Summary

"Politics" by Aristotle stands as a timeless beacon of political philosophy, illuminating the intricate tapestry of governance and human society. Within its pages lies a profound exploration of the mechanics of states, the intricacies of political systems, and the quest for the ideal society.

Aristotle, one of history's most influential philosophers, embarks on an intellectual journey that transcends time and place. His work dissects the nature of politics, from the microcosm of individual ethics to the macrocosm of statecraft, establishing a framework that continues to inform contemporary political thought.

Within "Politics," readers encounter a brilliant dissection of the various forms of government, from aristocracy to democracy and oligarchy. Aristotle explores the delicate balance between the needs of the individual and the collective, scrutinizing how governments ought to function to promote justice and the common good.

The ethical underpinnings of "Politics" resonate through Aristotle's explication of virtue, as he contends that the role of a just state is to cultivate citizens who are not only virtuous but also capable of leading a life of fulfillment and purpose.

This magnum opus traverses the spectrum of human governance, examining not only the ideal but also the practical, shedding light on the complexities and dilemmas inherent in political life. Aristotle's insights on the tension between freedom and order, equality and hierarchy, are as relevant today as they were in antiquity.

"Politics" beckons readers to contemplate the essence of the human condition and the art of governance with a profundity that has captivated the greatest minds for centuries. It remains an enduring testament to Aristotle's enduring wisdom and a vital source of inspiration for those who seek to understand the intricate web of politics and society.

    Beneath the Surface of Things -...

    A timely and eclectic collection from one of the foremost thinkers of our time, "a powerful, penetrating and immensely knowledgeable writer" (The Guardian). 
 
 
 
The essays in this collection came about during the unhurried months when one who had traveled incessantly was obliged to stay still, even as events flared on all sides in a world that never stops moving. Wade Davis brings his unique cultural perspective to such varied topics as the demonization of coca, the sacred plant of the Inca; the Great War and the birth of modernity; the British conquest of Everest; the endless conflict in the Middle East; reaching beyond climate fear and trepidation; on the meaning of the sacred. His essay, "The Unraveling of America," first published in Rolling Stone, attracted five million readers and generated 362 million social media impressions. Media interest in the story was sustained over many weeks, with interview requests coming in from twenty-three countries. 
 
 
 
The anthropological lens, as Davis demonstrates, reveals what lies beneath the surface of things, allowing us to see, and to seek, the wisdom of the middle way, a perspective of promise and hope that all of the essays in this collection aspire to convey.

    All children lie. But when your child lies to you, it can feel like a personal betrayal. 
 
    
 
Lying is a healthy and inevitable part of child development. But when do lies become a problem? In this book, psychologist Victoria Talwar, director of the Talwar Child Development Lab at McGill University, presents practical, science-based strategies to address lying and foster truthfulness in children, from early childhood to the teenage years. 
 
  
  
Kids need to learn what honesty looks like in different social situations, and also how to tell the truth in ways that do not hurt others' feelings—a complicated task! Parents and caregivers will learn how to use stories and examples to have proactive conversations with children about honesty, and how to model honest behavior for children. Talwar shows listeners how to respond effectively when a child lies (as they inevitably will). Backed by years of psychological research, this common-sense, practical guide reveals which parenting strategies promote truthfulness in children—and which ones don't.

    Are you curious to learn what set Russia on its present-day course? 
The Russian Revolution is a perfect example of how history can contract and become exceedingly dense and complex. Untangling the Russian Revolution (in fact, Russian revolutions) must start by considering events that happened centuries before February 1917. Only in this way can we understand the multitude of events compressed into the short months of the decisive year 1917. 
The Russian Revolution, apart from the Chinese Revolution, is perhaps the biggest social experiment the world has ever known. Suddenly, millions of people found themselves living in a country led by fervent Marxists who had grand plans not only for their country but also for all humanity. 
Finally, the Russian Revolution continues to shape global politics, with modern-day Russia built directly on the ruins of the great Communist revolution. 
In this audiobook, you will learn about:The early days of the Russian Empire, the legendary Ruriks, and how Russians accepted Christianity.The radicalization of social movements, personified in the typical anarchist, Sergey Nechaev.Bloody precursors of the Russian Revolution, such as the assassination of Emperor Alexander II by anarchists.The inert and anachronistic Nicholas II Romanov who unwittingly contributed to his empire’s downfall.Fervent, feverous, and audacious Vladimir Lenin who led the revolution toward its radical turn in October 1917.The chaos of the Russian Civil War and the birth of war communism and the Red Terror.The aftermath of the Revolution: Lenin’s sudden illness and the political struggles of his successors.The rise of Stalin, who would lead the USSR into its most glorious and horrifying moments.

    The Last Best Hope - A History...

    In this brilliant exploration of American history and contemporary conservative politics, foreign policy expert John Hulsman draws on his years at the heart of Washington to present a compelling new vision of conservative realism. 
In our current Age of Insecurity, Hulsman suggests, there has never been a bigger need for the re-ascendance of realist principles in conservative circles. By drawing on U.S. history to illustrate realist precepts at the heart of the American story, The Last Best Hope provides a practical, realist foreign policy for a new age of American politics. 
There has never been a greater time to re-claim the primacy of conservative thought. By fusing the populist Jacksonian base of the GOP with the more libertarian Jeffersonian school of thought, this cogently argued manifesto hopes to grasp that opportunity, and to act as a clarion call for a new dominant realist foreign policy.
