  Warfare in Ancient Greece: The...

  Although the armies of the ancient Greek, or “Hellenic”, city-states (poleis, singular polis) included both cavalry (hippeis) and light infantry (psiloi, peltastes, gymnetes), their mainstay was undoubtedly the heavy infantry known today as hoplites. Armed to the teeth with their distinctive round shield (aspis or hoplon), high-crested helmet (corys) and long spear (dory), the hoplites were some of the most efficient soldiers of their time. They fought in the tight phalanx formation, and beyond the confines of their small poleis, Greek hoplites were also prized as mercenaries throughout the ancient world.  
  	Most historians believe that the hoplite became the dominant infantry soldier in nearly all the Greek city-states around the 8th century BCE. Hoplites were responsible for acquiring their own equipment, so not every hoplite might have been equally armed, but considering the style of warfare, they needed as much uniformity as possible. Like most infantry outside of Greece, the hoplites also carried spears, but while the Persian weapons were short and light for example, the Greek spears were thick shafts anywhere between seven and nine feet long. These spears were topped by a 9-inch spearhead, with a “lizard-sticker” buttspike at the bottom which could be used as a secondary spearhead if the main weapon was snapped off, or to plant the spear upright when at rest. Each hoplite also carried a shortsword, designed specifically for thrusting in the close confines of a melee (the Spartan weapon, the xiphos, was so short as to be virtually a dagger, its blade barely over a foot long).  
  It was only with the advent of the more mobile Roman legion, and the defeat of phalanxes in battles like Cynoscephalae (197 BCE) and Pydna (168 BCE), that the hoplite phalanx was finally outclassed

  Urban Governance and Renewal -...

  Lyric Vale

  In the complex architecture of city-making, governance represents the invisible framework that shapes urban development, mediates competing interests, and determines whose voices influence the evolution of metropolitan spaces. Beyond physical infrastructure and economic dynamics, the political dimensions of urban environments—the policies, power structures, and institutional arrangements that guide development decisions—profoundly shape the trajectory of cities and the lived experiences of their inhabitants. This comprehensive exploration delves into the intricate domains of Urban Policy and Governance, The Politics of Urban Development, and Urban Renewal, examining how formal and informal power systems determine which neighborhoods flourish, which communities face displacement, and how the benefits and burdens of urban change are distributed. 
  The narrative of urban governance is fundamentally a story of contested visions, where multiple stakeholders—from elected officials and corporate interests to community organizations and marginalized populations—engage in complex negotiations over the future of shared urban spaces. By examining the historical evolution, contemporary challenges, and emerging paradigms of urban governance, this book illuminates how policy frameworks, political processes, and renewal strategies reflect deeper power dynamics and ideological perspectives about what cities should be and whom they should serve. Readers will journey through diverse urban contexts—from the boardrooms where development decisions are made to the grassroots movements that challenge established power structures—discovering how governance approaches have evolved from top-down interventions to more collaborative, participatory models that recognize the plurality of urban stakeholders.

  The Antichrist

  Friedrich Nietzsche

  The Antichrist by Friedrich Nietzsche is an influential philosophical work which explores the metaphysical implications of Atheism and moral nihilism. Nietzsche's exploration of the potential implications of atheism leads him to conclude that, without the traditional basis provided by God, morality becomes an arbitrary set of conventions derived from human opinion. This approach undermines the Judeo-Christian conception of morality as divinely ordained and encourages readers to consider alternative systems of ethics and value. Read in English, unabridged.
