Summary

"Dynastic Politics" explores how family ties and power transitions within families have profoundly influenced the course of history. It delves into dynastic systems, revealing how lineage, inheritance, and the consolidation of power have shaped empires and nations. 

 
The book emphasizes dynastic legitimacy, the methods rulers use to cement authority, such as constructing genealogies and strategic marriages. It also investigates succession crises, recurring periods of instability leading to civil wars and fragmentation. 

 
The book uniquely examines the inherent contradictions of dynastic power, arguing that the pursuit and maintenance of such power, while intended to ensure stability, often leads to long-term instability. This is due to the suppression of dissent, concentration of resources, and cyclical succession crises. 

 
Through case studies ranging from the Roman Empire to European monarchies, the book offers a comparative analysis of diverse dynastic systems. It progresses by first establishing a theoretical framework, then moves to specific historical examples, comparative analyses, and finally, the long-term consequences of dynastic systems.

    First published in 1917, A Study of Numbers is a deeply-philosophical account of the living, universal, qualitative, and casual reality of numbers as they are expressed throughout the cosmos and nature. Beginning from what he refers to as "the irreducible one", Schwaller deals with the unfolding of creation via the cycles of polarization, ideation, and formation. Topics covered include: numbers, values, and relations; the disengagement of numbers; the harmonic basis of numbers; the development of values; and the establishment of harmony.

    In this 2023 conversation with Justine Willis Toms, futurist Duane Elgin argues that humanity is straddling unprecedented, threshold times, and that this situational crisis involves more than just climate change: it’s a whole systemic change. Yet, despite the extreme nature of our situation, we’re also living in a moment of immense possibility in a sea of a living universe within a domain of aliveness, where new kinds of potentials are going to emerge. He writes "Even though it is difficult, even though your heart breaks a thousand times, we must go through this time of collective initiation in order to take our place as responsible adults collaborating in the creation of a healthy and vibrant community of all beings.”  
    Duane Elgin is the author of many books including:Awakening Earth: Exploring the Evolution of Human Culture and Consciousness (William Morrow 1993)Voluntary Simplicity: Toward a Way of Life That Is Outwardly Simple, Inwardly Rich (Harper 2010)The Living Universe: Where Are We? Who Are We? Where Are We Going? (Barrett Koehler Publishers 2009)Promise Ahead: A Vision of Hope and Action for Humanity’s Future the Living Universe (William Morrow 2000)Choosing Earth: Humanity’s Journey of Initiation through Breakdown and Collapse to Mature Planetary Community (Revised Edition) (Duane Elgin 2022)

    Get to the Publishing Punchline...

    As a literary agent, Joy Eggerichs Reed sees book proposals that, unfortunately, she writes off after about sixty seconds of skimming. 
    While that may sound harsh, there are specific things she looks for that show her immediately how seriously a writer takes their goals of getting published. 
    Even though the first steps of writing and figuring out how to publish a book can feel daunting, this book will not only give you everything you need for an incredible proposal, but demystify the publishing process, tell you how to market yourself authentically (and enjoyably), and cheer you on with practical next steps as you decide which publishing route is best for you. 
    And, Joy wants to make this whole process FUN. 
    This is an upbeat 30-day guide with easy to follow examples, stories, and funny illustrations (that you're more than welcome to color in because your brain will need a break), as well as insider knowledge about how to catch an agent's eye, how to land your dream endorsement and how to wildly increase your chances of getting a book deal. 
    Non-fiction, memoir, or novel—this book will help authors (especially first-timers) who have questions and feel alone in the writing process. Let Joy be your (slightly aggressive) friend who will encourage you, tell you what to do, and leave you feeling oh-so-confident because of all the progress you've made by day 30. If you let this book guide you, you will close the last page, and involuntarily shout, "WOW, I did that!" 
    You’ll also get to know way more about Joy’s personal life than you probably wanted

    Sometimes You Should Be Late invites you, dear reader, to become more aware of the scripts you’ve inherited about time—and to choose, with intention, how you want to move through it. 
    It honors the care beneath urgency culture but also what we might gain by giving the rabbit in us a break and embracing, a bit more often, our inner sloth.
