  The rise of the Roman Empire marks one of the most transformative periods in world history. Emerging from humble beginnings as a small settlement on the banks of the Tiber River, Rome grew to dominate the ancient world through a combination of military prowess, political innovation, and cultural assimilation. This chapter explores the foundations of Roman power, the empire’s expansive reach across continents, and the key figures who shaped its rise. 
  Rome's origins date back to the 8th century BCE, with its legendary founding attributed to Romulus and Remus. Initially a monarchy, Rome evolved into a republic around 509 BCE after the overthrow of the last Etruscan king. This transition marked the beginning of a new political era, where power rested with the Senate and elected magistrates. The republican framework, characterized by a system of checks and balances, laid the foundation for Rome's expansive ambitions. As the republic matured, it developed a complex legal system and a robust military structure that would be instrumental in its growth. 
  One of Rome’s most significant advantages was its strategic location. Positioned at the crossroads of the Mediterranean, Rome became a hub for trade and communication. The city's ability to integrate conquered territories through road networks and infrastructure projects further solidified its control. Additionally, the Roman practice of granting varying levels of citizenship to conquered peoples helped maintain loyalty and stability within the expanding state.

  Once pitted as adversarial counterparts as the opinion editors of Detroit's right- and left-leaning newspapers, veteran journalists Nolan Finley and Stephen Henderson join forces in this groundbreaking work to champion a novel approach to political discourse. Finley, a resolute conservative, and Henderson, a committed progressive, defy expectations by demonstrating that civil conversation is not only possible but also richly rewarding, even across colossal ideological divides. 
   
   
   
  In 2020, they launched the Civility Project with journalist and author Lynne Golodner, beginning their journey to teach Americans how to engage in respectful dialogue and maintain relationships despite political differences. The Civility Book is an extension of that mission, offering practical tools and strategies for fostering civility in everyday interactions. At the core of this work, the authors position their four pillars of civility to explain what civility is, why it matters, and how individuals can use it to overcome the antagonistic rhetoric that threatens our society today, one conversation at a time. This conversational, no-nonsense guide provides valuable lessons, a detailed curriculum, probing questions for consideration, and an extensive appendix of resources outlining ongoing efforts to curb unproductive contention and advance a more harmonious society.

  “What do you think happens after we die?” has been Elizabeth Earley’s favorite conversation starter since the motorcycle accident that almost killed her. In Little Deaths All in a Row: Essays on Sex and Death, Earley delves into memories of past lovers and offers vivid portraits of the hospice patients she has worked with after recovering from her own near-fatal injuries. Tracing the many connections—philosophical, scientific, ethical, and spiritual—between sex and death, these lyric essays ponder the afterlife, pain and pleasure, quantum entanglement and love, and the “strange and painful goodness of being alive.”

  "Groskop skillfully juggles memoir, biography, philosophy, and literary criticism to create a delightful tour through some of French literature's greats." —Madeline Miller, New York Times bestselling author 
   
   
   
  Like many people the world over, Viv Groskop wishes she was a little more French. A writer, comedian, and journalist, Groskop studied the language obsessively starting at age eleven, and spent every vacation in France, desperate to escape her Englishness and to have some French chic rub off on her. In Au Revoir, Tristesse, Groskop mixes literary history and memoir to explore how the classics of French literature can infuse our lives with joie de vivre and teach us how to say goodbye to sadness. From the frothy hedonism of Colette and the wit of Cyrano de Bergerac to the intoxicating universe of Marguerite Duras and the heady passions of Les Liaisons dangereuses, this is a love letter to great French writers. With chapters on Marcel Proust, Victor Hugo, Gustave Flaubert, Stendhal, Honoré de Balzac, Albert Camus, and of course Françoise Sagan, this is a must-listen for book lovers everywhere.
