    Why originalism is a flawed, incoherent, and dangerously ideological method of constitutional interpretation 
 
 
 
Originalism, the view that the meaning of a constitutional provision is fixed when it is adopted, was once the fringe theory of a few extremely conservative legal scholars but is now a well-accepted mode of constitutional interpretation. Three of the Supreme Court's nine justices explicitly embrace the originalist approach, as do increasing numbers of judges in the lower courts. 
 
 
  
Noted legal scholar Erwin Chemerinsky gives a comprehensive analysis of the problems that make originalism unworkable as a method of constitutional interpretation. He argues that the framers themselves never intended constitutional interpretation to be inflexible and shows how it is often impossible to know what the "original intent" of any particular provision was. Perhaps worst of all, though its supporters tout it as a politically neutral and objective method, originalist interpretation tends to disappear when its results fail to conform to modern conservative ideology.

    This Dark Ages biography chronicles the life of one of the period's most famous women: the ruler of Mercia who took England back from the Vikings. 
 
 
 
At the end of the ninth century, a large part of what is now England was controlled by the Vikings—warlike Scandinavians who had been attacking the British Isles for more than a hundred years. Alfred the Great, king of Wessex, was determined to regain the conquered lands. But when he died in 899 A.D., the task passed to his son Edward. In the early 900s, Edward led a great fight against the Viking armies, assisted by the English rulers of Mercia: Lord Æthelred and his wife Æthelflæd, who was also Edward's sister. 
 
 
 
After her husband's death, Æthelflæd ruled Mercia on her own, leading the army to war and working with her brother to achieve their father's aims. Known to history as the Lady of the Mercians, she earned a reputation as a capable general who was feared by her enemies. In this authoritative biography, Tim Clarkson tells her remarkable life story from childhood to her vital role in saving England from the Vikings.

    Empathy is one of the most profound and transformative qualities that we can cultivate in our lives. It allows us to connect with others on a deep emotional level, fostering understanding, compassion, and trust. In a world where individualism and surface-level interactions often dominate, empathy offers a refreshing and essential antidote. It enables us to not only understand the perspectives of others but also to feel their emotions and respond with care and support. This deep emotional connection is the cornerstone of strong, healthy relationships, whether in personal, professional, or social contexts. 
  
In this book, we will explore the nature of empathy, its importance in building meaningful connections, and practical ways to develop and nurture it in our everyday lives. We will examine the different facets of empathy, including cognitive empathy—the ability to understand another's thoughts and viewpoints—and emotional empathy, which allows us to feel the emotions of others. By recognizing and cultivating both of these forms of empathy, we can better navigate the complexities of human relationships and respond more effectively to the needs of others.
