Sinossi

Empire Collapse Patterns explores why powerful empires decline, identifying recurring vulnerabilities across history. Resource management, socio-political fragmentation, and external pressures emerge as critical factors. Intriguingly, empires often mismanage resources, leading to economic decline and internal conflicts, while internal divisions such as ethnic or economic disparities weaken cohesion. 

 
The book analyzes political structures, economic systems, and social dynamics of empires like Rome and the Ottomans, revealing identifiable patterns. It argues that while each collapse is unique, recurring themes of resource mismanagement, internal fragmentation, and external pressures consistently signal potential decline.

 
This comparative approach uses historical texts, archaeological findings, and even quantitative methods to identify common patterns and their relevance to the modern world. Structured in three parts, the book introduces a framework, examines case studies, and synthesizes findings. It uniquely emphasizes the interconnectedness of internal and external factors, offering a more nuanced understanding of imperial decline and its applicability to contemporary global powers and international relations.

    Emma Goldman (1869 – 1940) was an anarchist political activist and writer. She played a pivotal role in the development of anarchist political philosophy in North America and Europe in the first half of the 20th century. 
    In this essay, (1910) Goldman sets forth her interpretation of the ideology of anarchism. Like most anarchists, she was highly idealistic; believing that human nature was inherently good, she was convinced that a state of absolute freedom would maximize human happiness and productivity. Here she enumerates the many constraints — including religion, property, law and government — that she sees as limiting the individual's liberty. She claims that anarchism stands for a social order based on the free grouping of individuals for the purpose of producing real social wealth, an order that will guarantee to every human being free access to the earth and full enjoyment of the necessities of life.

    Are you focused on what's wrong with your students? Now you can transform learning by reframing your view from what's wrong to what's strong. 
     
     
     
    "At risk." "Low." "Title I kids." If you've worked with students, you've probably heard or said these coded labels that reflect deficit thinking. This focus on weakness is a pervasive, powerful judgment that continues to harm students long after they leave school. It's time for educators to hack deficit thinking, think about SEL and about strength-based teaching, and reframe teaching and learning. 
     
     
     
    Nationally certified school psychologists McClure and Reed show teachers, administrators, and support staff how to unlearn student blame and reframe thinking to focus on students' strengths. When we acknowledge the impact of teaching practices and the broader structural inequities, we can help everyone reach their highest potential. 
     
     
     
    In Hacking Deficit Thinking, you'll learn how to: build on student strengths; think about student empathy; humanize your data; recognize the value of differences; think about teacher empathy; talk about equity in schools; tap into school-wide strengths; flourish as an educator.

    One of the best books ever written on one of humanity’s greatest epics, W. R. Johnson’s classic study of Vergil’s Aeneid challenges centuries of received wisdom. Johnson rejects the political and historical reading of the epic as a record of the glorious prehistory of Rome and instead foregrounds Vergil’s enigmatic style and questioning of the heroic myths. With an approach to the text that is both grounded in scholarship and intensely personal, and in a style both rhetorically elegant and passionate, Johnson offers readings of specific passages that are nuanced and suggestive as he focuses on the “somber and nourishing fictions” in Vergil’s poem. A timeless work of scholarship, Darkness Visible will enthrall classicists as well as students and scholars of the history of criticism—specifically the way in which politics influence modern readings of the classics—and of poetry and literature.
