  • The Prince - cover

    The Prince

    Niccolò Machiavelli

    The Prince by Niccolò Machiavelli is one of the most influential works of political thought ever written. Composed in the early sixteenth century during the turbulent period of the Italian Renaissance, this groundbreaking treatise examines the nature of political power and offers practical advice on leadership, governance, and the realities of ruling a state.
    
    Written as a guide for rulers, the book explores how a leader can gain power, maintain authority, and navigate the complex challenges of governing. Drawing on historical examples from ancient Rome, classical history, and contemporary Italian politics, Machiavelli analyzes the strategies used by successful rulers and the mistakes that have led others to downfall.
    
    At the center of the work is Machiavelli's belief that political leadership requires a clear understanding of human nature, power, and circumstance. He argues that effective rulers must be prepared to act decisively, adapt to changing conditions, and sometimes make difficult or morally complex decisions in order to preserve stability and protect the state.
    
    The book famously discusses the balance between virtù—the qualities of strength, skill, and determination in a ruler—and fortuna, the unpredictable forces of chance that influence political events. According to Machiavelli, a capable leader must learn to manage both, using intelligence and strategic judgment to shape outcomes whenever possible.
    
    Throughout the text, Machiavelli examines different forms of political authority, including hereditary rule, newly acquired territories, and the role of military power in securing and defending a state. His observations emphasize the importance of discipline, strong institutions, and the loyalty of citizens and soldiers.
    
    Although controversial for its candid discussion of political strategy, The Prince has become a foundational work in the study of political science and leadership. Its ideas have influenced generations of thinkers, statesmen, and scholars, sparking ongoing debate about ethics, power, and the responsibilities of leadership.
    
    Clear, direct, and intellectually provocative, The Prince remains a timeless exploration of political realism, leadership, and the complex dynamics of power. More than five centuries after it was written, Machiavelli's insights continue to shape discussions about governance, strategy, and the nature of authority.

    “Awakening Osiris is a perennial, a classic in the combined realm of Egyptology, spirituality, and pure literary achievement.” —Kathleen McGowan, New York Times bestselling author of The Expected One   “Awakening Osiris is not only a translation and a book of Egyptian religion, but also a spiritual work that will serve many Pagans as a prayer book of sorts, a book of meditations—something not to be read and left on the shelf, but to return to repeatedly.” —Judika Illes, author of Encyclopedia of Spirits   A beautiful and engaging rendering of The Egyptian Book of the Dead that reveals the soul and spirit of Egypt   The Egyptian Book of the Dead is one of the oldest and greatest classics of Western spirituality. With Awakening Osiris, Ellis has transformed the ancient stories told through hieroglyphs for modern readers and approaches the Book of the Dead as a profound spiritual text capable of speaking to us today. These writings suggest that the divine realm and the human realm are not altogether separate; they remind us that the natural world—the substance of our lives—is fashioned from the stuff of the gods.   This edition replaces the previous edition (ISBN 978-0933999749) and contains a new introduction and study guide by the author.

    Key to the City - How Zoning...

    In Key to the City, legal scholar and architect Sara C. Bronin examines how zoning became such a prevailing force and reveals its impact—and its potential for good. Outdated zoning codes have maintained racial segregation, prioritized cars over people, and enabled great ecological harm. But, as Bronin argues, once we recognize the power of zoning, we can harness it to create the communities we desire, and deserve. Drawing on her own experience leading the overhaul of Hartford's zoning code and exploring the efforts of activists and city planners across the country, Bronin shows how new codes are reshaping our cities—from Baltimore to Chicago, Las Vegas to Minneapolis, and beyond. In Boston, a law fought for by a passionate group of organizers, farmers, and beekeepers is transforming the city into a haven for urban farming. In Tucson, zoning codes are mitigating the impacts of climate change and drought-proofing neighborhoods in peril. In Delray Beach, Florida, a new code aims to capture and maintain the town's colorful spirit through its architecture. 
     
     
     
    With clarity and insight, Bronin demystifies the power of an inscrutable organizing force in our lives and invites us to see zoning as a revolutionary vehicle for change. In Key to the City, she puts forward a practical and energizing vision for how we can reimagine our communities.
