Dynastic Politics

Sinopse

"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.

The War in the Air - How Aerial...

Sage Winters

The early 20th century marked a transformative period in military history, where the introduction of flight reshaped the very nature of warfare. Prior to this, battles were fought on the ground and at sea, with strategy revolving around infantry, artillery, and naval power. However, as aviation technology advanced rapidly, it presented military commanders with new opportunities and challenges that would forever alter how conflicts were conducted.
At the outset of World War I, the concept of aerial combat was in its infancy. Airplanes were initially seen as reconnaissance tools, providing vital intelligence for ground forces. Yet, it didn’t take long for the potential of aircraft to be realized in more aggressive terms. Pioneers such as the Wright brothers had already demonstrated the possibilities of flight, but the practical application of aircraft in combat was a game-changer. The skies above the battlefield soon became a new front, and aviation quickly proved indispensable in both strategic and tactical operations.
The early airmen of World War I were explorers of a new domain, and their role would evolve from mere observers to active participants in combat. The introduction of fighter aircraft, along with advancements in technology like the machine gun, turned the skies into a dangerous and dynamic environment. Aerial dogfights became iconic moments of the war, and the stakes of air superiority were made clear. As aircraft became faster, more maneuverable, and capable of carrying greater payloads, they not only impacted the outcome of individual battles but also began to influence the strategic decisions of entire nations.

You Might Go to Prison Even...

Justin Brooks

Justin Brooks has spent his career freeing innocent people from prison. With You Might Go to Prison, Even Though You're Innocent, he offers up-close accounts of the cases he has fought, embedding them within a larger landscape of innocence claims and robust research on what we know about the causes of wrongful convictions. Putting listeners at the defense table, this book forces us to consider how any of us might be swept up in the system, whether we hired a bad lawyer, bear a slight resemblance to someone else in the world, or are not good with awkward silence. The stories of Brooks's cases and clients paint the picture of a broken justice system, one where innocence is no protection from incarceration or even the death penalty. Simultaneously relatable and disturbing, You Might Go to Prison, Even Though You're Innocent is essential listening for anyone who wants to better understand how injustice is served by our system.

Seasons of Sobriety - poetry +...

Amber Michele Giangregorio

Seasons of Sobriety was originally written as a therapeutic outlet during a period filled 
with darkness. As time went on, however, the writing evolved into something more 
enlightened. The purpose of this book, which begins with the journey toward addiction 
and ends with a sober-curious mindset, is to offer encouragement and inspiration, as 
well as to illustrate through poetry and prose that a powerful potential exists within every 
person, ready to be awakened. The book is divided into four chapters that represent 
the seasons of the year (winter, spring, summer, and autumn) because each season 
represents a different phase of the journey: impulsivity, healing, abundance, and 
renewal. As you travel through the seasons, you feel the impact of the poetry as it 
relates to the natural world. The book will start with the darkness of winter but keep 
reading to find the brilliant colors in autumn. If you are trapped in the dark, the poems in 
this book will offer tools and thought-provoking ideas to help you find the light.

From Here to Security - How...

Robert L. Reynolds

At a time of fierce political divisiveness, From Here to Security is a refreshingly balanced, non-ideological guide to solving what may be our nation's most pressing policy challenge: achieving retirement security for all. 
 
 
 
A pioneer of the 401(k) system, Robert L. Reynolds eschews radical calls for throwing out the 401(k) entirely and creating a new government-run savings system. Our best course, he shows, is to build on what we have: a flexible, dynamic private-public system of Social Security and more robust workplace savings. From Here to Security provides a clear, powerful new approach to solving America's retirement challenge—based on facts, data, and Reynolds's decades of experience. 
 
 
 
While fearmongers claim that the US retirement system is on the verge of collapse; Reynolds shows why our system is actually the envy of the world. But From Here to Security is no status quo book. 
 
 
 
Reynolds lays out an action agenda to dramatically improve our retirement systems—public and private—lift our savings rate, improve people's retirement prospects, spur faster growth—and reboot America's national morale.
