Summary

The Anabasis of Alexander was composed by Arrian of Nicomedia in the second century AD, most probably during the reign of Hadrian. The Anabasis (which survives complete in seven books) is a history of the campaigns of Alexander the Great, specifically his conquest of the Persian Empire between 336 and 323 BC.Both the unusual title "Anabasis" (literally "a journey up-country from the sea") and the work's seven-book structure reflect Arrian's emulation (in structure, style, and content) of the Greek historian Xenophon, whose own Anabasis in seven books concerned the earlier campaign "up-country" of Cyrus the Younger in 401 BC.Arrian of Nicomedia  (c. 86/89 – c. after 146/160 AD) was a Greek historian, public servant, military commander, and philosopher of the Roman period.

    Turtles on a Black Gum Tree is a creative retelling of Charles Ball's 1837 autobiography, Slavery in the United States, closely following the original narrative. It recounts his upbringing in Maryland, his forced march to the lower South, and his escape and journey back home. Although he died in obscurity, Charles Ball left us with one of the most comprehensive and uncompromising portraits of slavery in the post-colonial era. There has not been a re-telling of his story in over one hundred and fifty years.   
    Charles Ball walked from Georgia to Maryland in a period stretching from August until the following spring. The terrain was rugged and varied; the weather was alternately hot, wet, and cold; food was difficult to secure; shelter haphazard; and his clothes threadbare and inadequate. His shoes wore out quickly, and his second-hand boots failed so often that he had to wrap strips of hickory bark around his feet to keep them from falling apart. He had begun his flight from his late master’s plantation in Georgia on the ninth of August. By November, he had made it no farther than South Carolina. Inclement weather and starless nights had exhausted his patience; fear of being seen had worn on his nerves; loneliness and longing gnawed at his soul. If his physical and emotional needs were not at least partially met, he would falter and collapse, no matter the strength of his character.

    World-renowned philosopher A. C. Grayling explores the messy politics of the 'culture wars' 
     
     
     
    It seems like we can't talk about anything nowadays . .  . Whether it's war or something utterly inconsequential, the internet is primed for furor. And the results can be horrifying—from online pile ons and doxing to job loss and, in some cases, death. But how did we end up here? 
     
     
     
    Nuanced and historically grounded, A. C. Grayling searches for middle ground in an otherwise incendiary debate. Looking at the history of cancellation, from Ancient Greek 'ostracism' through hemlock cups, witch trials, and the House of Un-American Activities, Discriminations is a timely examination of the state of our public culture and the chilling effect it's having on intellectual discourse.
