Synopsis

"Minor Revolutions" explores the subtle yet profound transformations often overshadowed by major historical events. It argues that significant political and social change arises from gradual adjustments in bureaucratic systems, technological advancements, and shifts in social norms. The book challenges conventional narratives by focusing on these less conspicuous changes, demonstrating how they collectively reshape political landscapes and societal structures.

The book examines the evolution of governance in pre-modern states, the impact of technology on political power, and the shifts in social norms that led to political change. For instance, the spread of printing technology in the 18th and 19th centuries played a crucial role in political mobilization, subtly shifting public discourse.

It is structured into three sections, first introducing the concept, then examining case studies, and finally synthesizing findings to demonstrate how seemingly isolated changes collectively reshape political landscapes. By analyzing archival documents, government records, and quantitative data, "Minor Revolutions" reveals the importance of incremental changes and collective action. It introduces the concept of "compound change" to describe how minor revolutions build upon each other over time, leading to significant historical outcomes.

This approach offers a fresh perspective on familiar historical events, making it valuable for students, scholars, and general readers interested in understanding the dynamics of societal transformation.

How to Talk About Love - An...

Plato

What is love? In poetry, songs, fiction, movies, psychology, and philosophy, love has been described, admired, lamented, and dissected in endless ways. Is love based on physical attraction? Does it bring out our better selves? How does it relate to sex? Is love divine? Plato's Symposium is one of the oldest, most influential, and most profound explorations of such questions—it is even the source of the idea of "Platonic love." How to Talk about Love introduces and presents the key passages and central ideas of Plato's philosophical dialogue in a lively new translation. 
 
 
 
The Symposium is set at a fictional drinking party during which prominent Athenians engage in a friendly competition by delivering improvised speeches in praise of Eros, the Greek god of love and sex. The aristocrat Phaedrus, the legal expert Pausanias, the physician Eryximachus, the comic playwright Aristophanes, and the tragic poet Agathon—each by turn celebrates different aspects of love before Socrates proposes not to praise love but to tell the truth about it. In the final speech, the politician and libertine Alcibiades argues that Socrates himself is the epitome of love. 
 
 
 
Deftly capturing the essence and spirit of Plato's masterpiece, How to Talk about Love makes the Symposium more accessible and enjoyable than ever before.

But this breakthrough event was only the beginning of a uniquely productive—and often controversial—career. On Your Body Is Your Subconscious Mind, Dr. Pert describes her efforts over the past two decades to actually decode the information molecules, such as peptides and their receptors, that regulate every aspect of human physiology. Her model of how these biochemicals flow and resonate, distributing information to every cell in the body simultaneously, has unlocked the secret of how emotions literally transform our bodies—and create our health.Easily shifting from a bench scientist's view to a spiritual one, she relates her research to past and present mind/body topics, ranging from AIDS and cancer to the chakra system. Dr. Pert's personal and compelling voice makes this a listening experience that is part detective story, part spiritual odyssey—and entirely irresistible. Your Body Is Your Subconscious Mind takes you on a scientific adventure of the first order, escorted by this pathfinder, iconoclast, and "goddess of neuroscience."
