Summary

Classical Law Codes explores how ancient Greek and Roman legal systems shaped Western concepts of justice and governance. It offers a comparative analysis, highlighting differences in codification, civil rights, and property regulation. One intriguing insight is how Roman law, with its emphasis on codification, had a more direct impact than the more philosophical Greek legal practices. The book demonstrates how these systems, though ancient, still resonate in contemporary legal discourse.

 
The book unfolds in three parts, beginning with the historical and social context of Greek law, particularly in Athenian democracy. It then examines Roman law, from the Twelve Tables to Justinian's Corpus Juris Civilis, tracing the evolution of legal thought and institutions.

 
Finally, it directly compares the two systems, focusing on property rights, contracts, and criminal justice, revealing how each system addressed social inequality and individual liberties. Through primary sources and scholarly analysis, this book provides a nuanced understanding of classical legal systems and their lasting legacy.

    “That’s right…send another man money, then thank him for the opportunity. It feels good, doesn’t it? It feels natural.” 
    My life is spiraling out of control. I sent money to a guy on social media as an experiment, but it triggered something in my brain. 
    Each night after work, I sit in the dark while he “drains” me. My eyes glaze over as he siphons away the money I’ve worked so hard to save. Each time I hit send, I feel his hooks digging deeper into my mind. 
    We’ve agreed to meet in person. I’m scared—I’m worried he’ll bond me to him, pulling me into a universe I’ll never be able to escape. 
    But that’s exactly what I want. I need to commit to an alpha male.

    Pamela takes readers on a heart-wrenching and hilarious road trip from toddler to adulthood with Clark Kent and his family, sharing their collective wisdom and empathy along the way. 
    Are you one of "those" parents? If so, pour a cup of coffee, grab a tissue, and stay for a while. You're in the company of a good friend. 
    A Mother's Tale Of Life With Her ADHD And Asperger's Son 
    They’re the parents who other people secretly believe must be doing a crappy job, the ones whose children don lacrosse gloves to weed the flowerbed, won’t turn in their homework, and throw age-inappropriate tantrums in public. They’re the parents one frayed nerve short of a breakdown as they scrub off the giant perceived “L” for Loser from their foreheads, turning for help to every source they can think of, because their kids just don’t respond like other kids, because their kids aren’t like other kids. The very brains of their children are wired differently, and the disciplines, motivators, and strategies that are supposed to work on them, according to conventional wisdom, don’t. 
    These are the parents of children on the ADHD Spectrum, and most of them have used up their Phone a Friend Lifeline and just want a little understanding and the hope of shared knowledge from someone else who has survived a life like theirs. They are parents like Pamela Fagan Hutchins, whose son, dubbed “Clark Kent the WonderKid,” has ADHD and Asperger’s Syndrome. 
    Pamela takes readers on a heart-wrenching and hilarious road trip from toddler to adulthood with Clark Kent and his family, sharing their collective wisdom and empathy along the way.

    "I now know I am not alone." 
    "Sweet, funny, and endearing."

  • Richard Sorge and the Cambridge Five: The History of the Soviet Union’s Most Important Foreign Spies during World War II - cover

    Richard Sorge and the Cambridge...

    Soviet Russia followed a philosophy demanding international, global revolution – which, in practice, often resembled conquest by any means available, direct or indirect. While the Soviets never hesitated to use naked force when it seemed advisable, or when compelled to it by outside attack, they made intensive use of covert operations – spying, assassination, bribery, infiltration of governments and educational systems, the deployment of agents provocateur and “agitprop” – in an effort to weaken other nations from within or possibly cause takeover by a friendly revolutionary regime.  
    Soviet agents operated in all European countries and others, but their main efforts naturally focused on the strongest potential rivals – Germany, the United States, and Great Britain. Intelligent, persistent, and ruthless, the Soviets succeeded in recruiting a considerable number of agents, including men from the British ruling class. 
    Their activities enabled the Soviets to capture and execute hundreds, if not thousands, of the opponents of their regime along with numbers of British agents. The men responsible for this unprecedented leaking of life-or-death information would enter history as the Cambridge Five – though in fact, they may have been only the core of a much larger group.  
    Occasionally, a spy will be so successful that they are able to place themselves in a position where they have access to information at the highest levels, secrets that really can change the course of world events. Sometimes, these spies may even be as handsome, charming, charismatic, and bold as their fictional counterparts.	One such spy was a man named Richard Sorge. Experiencing the horrors of World War I at first-hand turned Sorge into an ardent communist, after which he worked as a spy for the USSR in Germany, China, and Japan before and during World War II. He obtained vital military and political secrets and maintained his cover for over nine years.
