Summary

Throne Legitimacy Rituals explores how ancient and medieval rulers established and maintained their power. It argues that legitimacy wasn't a static right, but a dynamic narrative constructed through public rituals, claims of noble bloodline, and assertions of divine favor. Consider, for example, coronations, which were carefully staged events designed to project power and reinforce the ruler's image. Similarly, royal genealogies were meticulously managed to solidify dynastic succession, emphasizing the importance of bloodline logic in legitimizing rule.

 
The book is divided into three sections that analyze public rituals, bloodline logic, and divine associations, showing how these elements interacted and evolved over time. By examining chronicles, legal codes, and archaeological findings, Throne Legitimacy Rituals provides a comprehensive analysis of how legitimacy was constructed and maintained. It offers a framework for understanding how rulers throughout history have sought to legitimize their authority.

    Inequality is up. Decent work is down. Free market fundamentalism has been exposed as a tragic failure. In a job market upended by COVID-19—with Canadians caught in the grip of precarious labour, stagnant wages, a climate crisis, and the steady creep of automation—an ever-louder chorus of voices calls for a liveable and obligation-free basic income.
    		 
    Could a basic income guarantee be the way forward to democratize security and intervene where the market economy and social programs fail? Jamie Swift and Elaine Power scrutinize the politics and the potential behind a radical proposal in a post-pandemic world: that wealth should be built by a society, not individuals. And that we all have an unconditional right to a fair share.
    		 
    In these pages, Swift and Power bring to the forefront the deeply personal stories of Canadians who participated in the 2017–2019 Ontario Basic Income Pilot; examine the essential literature and history behind the movement; and answer basic income’s critics from both the right and left.

    Every day, my dogs and I wander the scenic trails of our hometown. As we walk, I practice a gentle form of walking meditation—listening to the rhythm of paws and footsteps, the harmony of our breathing, the rustle of leaves in the wind, and even the occasional spirited bark from other dogs along the way. 
    But this is not a book about meditation. It’s not about dog training either. 
    This is a book about the philosophy of life—the reflections, insights, and wandering thoughts that bloom after these quiet walks. 
    Inside, you’ll find a collection of 34 short stories. Some will make you smile. Others will nudge you to pause and look deeper into your own life. All of them are rooted in the simple, yet profound, experiences of walking with loyal companions. 
    At the time of writing, my faithful walking partners were Nena, my service dog, and her daughters Juliette and Panda, along with Jolie, Kapa’a, Indie, and Luna. Each step we took together left an imprint not just on the ground, but on my heart and in these pages.

    For centuries, scientists believed that living matter possessed a special quality—a spirit or essence—that differentiated it from nonliving matter. But by the nineteenth century, the scientific consensus was that the building blocks of one were identical to the building blocks of the other. Elixir tells the story of two young chemists who were not convinced, and how their work rewrote the boundary between life and nonlife. 
     
     
     
    In the 1830s, Édouard Laugier and Auguste Laurent were working in Laugier Père et Fils, the oldest perfume house in Paris. By day they prepared the perfumery's revitalizing elixirs and rejuvenating eaux, drawing on alchemical traditions that equated a plant's vitality with its aroma. In their spare time they hunted the vital force that promised to reveal the secret to life itself. Their ideas, roundly condemned by established chemists, led to the discovery of structural differences between naturally occurring molecules and their synthetic counterparts, even when the molecules were chemically identical. 
     
     
     
    Scientists still can't explain this anomaly, but it may point to critical insights concerning the origins of life on Earth. Rich in sparks and smells, brimming with eccentric characters, experimental daring, and the romance of the Bohemian salon, Elixir is a fascinating cultural and scientific history.
