Sinopse

Presidential Shifts explores how changes in presidential administrations have fundamentally reshaped American politics and policy. It examines pivotal moments when transitions in leadership led to significant shifts in governance, societal norms, and America's global role. The book analyzes the anatomy of power transfer, the evolution of policy paradigms under different presidential styles, and the lasting impacts of these shifts, offering insights into American political history.

 
The book's structure unfolds in three parts, starting with the theoretical framework for understanding presidential power and policy change. It then presents case studies, such as the shift from Hoover to Roosevelt during the Great Depression and Reagan succeeding Carter amid economic stagnation. These examples highlight how new presidents often bring distinct policy priorities that dramatically affect society.

 
The book uses diverse sources, including presidential archives and statistical analyses, to quantify the impact of presidential policies. Ultimately, Presidential Shifts provides a comparative analysis of presidential shifts across historical periods, offering a fresh perspective by focusing on the discontinuities in American political history. It bridges political science, history, and economics, making it valuable for anyone interested in American politics and its leadership transitions.

The Arthurian Legends - The Epic...

Julia Blacksmith

The Arthurian legends have captivated audiences for centuries, blending history, myth, and romance into a timeless narrative. At the heart of these tales stands King Arthur, the noble ruler of Camelot, surrounded by his valiant knights, wise counsel, and a destiny shaped by magic and fate. These stories, filled with chivalry, heroism, and tragedy, have evolved over time, transforming from medieval folklore into one of the most enduring mythological traditions in the Western world. Whether viewed as a historical figure or a fictional hero, Arthur’s legend continues to inspire literature, art, and modern storytelling.
The roots of the Arthurian legends can be traced back to early medieval Britain, a period marked by conflict and shifting power. The earliest references to Arthur appear in Welsh and Celtic traditions, portraying him as a warrior who defended his land against invading forces. As these stories spread, they were enriched by medieval chroniclers such as Geoffrey of Monmouth, whose twelfth-century work *Historia Regum Britanniae* established Arthur as a grandiose king with a mythical kingdom. French and English writers expanded the legend, introducing characters like Lancelot, Guinevere, and the Holy Grail, further shaping the narrative into the form known today.
The debate over whether King Arthur was a real historical figure or merely a legendary construct has fascinated scholars for centuries. Some believe that Arthur may have been based on a real Brittonic war leader who fought against Saxon invasions in the fifth or sixth century. However, definitive historical evidence remains elusive. What is clear is that Arthurian stories took on a life of their own, infused with elements of medieval knighthood, Christian symbolism, and mythical enchantment. Arthur became more than just a king—he became an ideal, embodying the virtues of justice, bravery, and sacrifice.

Identity in the Trenches - The...

Will Thibeau

The military is often perceived by well-meaning Americans as the last stronghold against the progressive march through America’s institutions. But this is no longer simply the case. Our Armed Forces were once the envy of the world, in large part because we selected based on merit, and instilled in our fighting men an unshakeable military ethos. Both the ethos and the selection, however, have been in steady decline as the Department of Defense succumbs to a dangerous ideology: selection and promotion based on racial and gender identity. This has already led to major problems and may well lead us down the path of disaster.
