Sinopsis

In "The History of England," David Hume masterfully chronicles the political and social evolution of England from the Roman invasion to the Glorious Revolution. Employing a prose style both accessible and richly analytical, Hume intertwines narrative history with philosophical reflection, offering insights into human nature and governance. His meticulous attention to context allows readers to understand the interplay between economic conditions, religious tensions, and political systems that shaped the nation'Äôs trajectory. The book reflects the Enlightenment's embrace of reasoned discourse and critique of established norms, positioning Hume as both historian and philosopher. David Hume, a pivotal figure of the Scottish Enlightenment, drew from his extensive background in philosophy and economics to craft this thorough historical narrative. His unique perspective was influenced by his experiences as a Scottish citizen witnessing the impact of political upheaval and conflict on society. Hume's philosophical inquiries into human behavior and morality permeate his historical writing, as he emphasizes the importance of understanding the motives behind rulers and citizens alike. "The History of England" is an essential read for anyone intrigued by the complexities of English history and its lasting influence on modern governance. Hume's synthesis of empirical evidence and philosophical inquiry provides a profound understanding of the past, making this work invaluable for historians, students, and general readers alike.

    Is male 'supremachism' really over? The pages you are holding in your hands sow doubts on the common belief that the governance of 'the macho' came to its end. As the proverb confirms, 'the old dies hard', despite the yet-to-improve individual and institutional efforts to achieve gender equality. With the serious tone this capital issue requires, the author debunks the myth of male supremacism as a phenomenon from a past and raises awareness of the subliminal survival of the supremachist ideological apparatus. Subtlety reveals as a key factor for the survival of subliminal supremachist campaigns, which threatens a promising future of non-discrimination. Essentially, democratic citizenship must pose itself a crucial question: Are current Western societies' concessions to feminism genuine or a cover by supremachism to survive in an ideologically volatile world?

    In June 1972, President Richard Nixon put pen to paper and signed the Educational Amendments of 1972 into law. The nearly 150-page document makes no mention of “gender,” “athletics,” “girls,” or “women.” The bill did not appear to contain anything earth shattering. But tucked into its final pages, a heading appears, “Title IX—Prohibition of Sex Discrimination.” These 37 words would change the world for girls and women across the United States. On its face, Title IX legally guaranteed equal opportunity in education. In time, Title IX would serve as the tipping point for the modern era of women’s sport. Slowly but surely, women’s athletics at the high school and collegiate levels grew to prominence, and Tennessee fast emerged as a national leader. 
    In Title IX, Pat Summitt, and Tennessee’s Trailblazers, Mary Ellen Pethel introduces readers to past and present pioneers—each instrumental to the success of women’s athletics across the state and nation. Through vibrant profiles, Pethel celebrates the lives and careers of household names like Pat Summitt and Candace Parker, as well as equally important forerunners such as Ann Furrow and Teresa Phillips. Through their lived experiences, these fifty individuals laid the foundation for athletic excellence in Tennessee, which in turn shaped the national landscape for women’s sports. 
    With interviewees ranging from age 20 to 93, Pethel artfully combines storytelling with scholarship. Guided by the voices of the athletes, coaches, and administrators, Pethel vividly documents achievement and adversity, wins and losses, and advice for the next generation. This book represents the first statewide compilation of its kind—offering readers a behind-the- scenes perspective of Tennessee women who dedicated their lives to the advancement of sport and gender equality. Readers will delight in Title IX, Pat Summitt, and Tennessee’s Trailblazers: 50 Years, 50 Stories. For more follow @drpethel.
