    Ancient Romans liked money. But how did they make a living and sometimes even become rich? The Roman economy was dominated by agriculture, but it was surprisingly modern in many ways: the Romans had companies with CEOs, shareholders, and detailed contracts regulated by meticulous laws; systems of banking and taxation; and a wide range of occupations, from merchant and doctor to architect and teacher. The Romans also enjoyed a relatively open society, where some could start from the bottom, work, invest, and grow rich. How to Make Money gathers a wide variety of ancient writings that show how Romans thought about, made, invested, spent, lost, and gave away money. 
     
     
     
    The Roman elite idealized farming and service to the state but treated many other occupations with suspicion or contempt, from money lending to wage labor. But whatever their attitudes, pecunia made the Roman world go round. In the Satyricon, Trimalchio brags about his wealth. Seneca accumulated a fortune—but taught that money can't buy happiness. Eumachia inherited a brick factory from her father, married well, and turned to philanthropy after she was widowed. How to Make Money also takes up some of the most troubling aspects of the Roman economy, slavery and prostitution, which the elite deemed unrespectable but often profited from.

    The ability for the brain to encode, store, and recall information is known as memory. Experience serves as a roadmap for future action.Memory includes both consciously recalled facts and experienced details as well as deeply embedded knowledge that pops up without thought or even awareness. It serves as both a temporary information storage space and a more lasting record of what has been learned. Scientists have identified several different types of memory, including episodic, semantic, procedural, working, sensory, and prospective memory.From the vivid memories of episodic memory to the practical knowledge of procedural memory, each type of memory has a specific purpose. However, there are similarities in the way memory functions generally, and certain parts of the brain, like the hippocampus, are crucial for different types of memory.

    This bundle offers an in-depth exploration of how political institutions, civil unrest, and power dynamics shaped the Roman Republic and Empire. Beginning with the early Republic, this book dives into the foundational structures of Roman governance—such as the Senate, consuls, and tribunes—highlighting how the balance of power evolved in response to internal challenges and external expansion. The early sections emphasize the ideals of civic virtue and republicanism that underpinned Rome’s initial governance, and how those ideals were tested by growing inequality and political rivalry. 
    As Rome expanded, the book traces the emergence of social conflict between the patricians and plebeians, the rise of populist leaders, and the violence that accompanied land reform and calls for justice. From the Gracchi brothers to Julius Caesar, readers will witness how political ambition and civil war undermined the Republic’s foundations. Key events such as Caesar’s dictatorship, the assassination that followed, and the shifting alliances during the subsequent power vacuum demonstrate how Rome’s political system struggled to contain individual ambition and the burden of imperial management. 
    Finally, the book examines the transformation into empire, where power became centralized under emperors who ruled with divine authority and military backing. Though the empire brought relative stability, it came with corruption, oppression, and loss of representative governance. This section looks closely at the early emperors, the role of the Senate under imperial rule, and the public’s shifting relationship with authority. Power and Politics serves as a gripping account of how Roman ideals clashed with political reality, offering timeless lessons about governance, ambition, and civic duty.

    Emiliano Zapata Salazar was a revolutionary in Mexico. He was a key figure in the Mexican Revolt of the years 1910 until 1920, and also the primary leader of the people's revolution in the Mexican state of Morelos and the creator of the Zapatismo agrarian movement. 
    Zapata was born in the rural town of Anenecuilco in the state of Morelos, at the time of a period when peasant communities dealt with increasing pressure from the small-landowning class, which monopolized land and water resources for sugar-cane production with the support of totalitarian Porfirio Daz (President from the year 1877 to 1880 and from 1884 to 1911). 
    Zapata was associated with political efforts against Daz and the landowning hacendados from an early age, and when the Revolution emerged in the year 1910, he was placed as a key figure in the peasant insurgence in Morelos. He established the Freedom Army of the South with the help of certain other peasant leaders, and he rapidly rose to become its undisputed head. 
    Let’s learn more about this historical figure through this book.
