  Montesquieu - The Spirit of Laws...

  Montesquieu, a French philosopher of the Enlightenment, is best known for his seminal work The Spirit of Laws (De l’esprit des lois), published in 1748. His insights into the relationship between law, society, and government laid the foundations for modern political science and deeply influenced subsequent political thought, particularly in the development of constitutional design and theory. Montesquieu’s work was groundbreaking, challenging prevailing ideas about governance, liberty, and the rule of law, offering a complex framework that would shape political thought for centuries. 
  Born in 1689, Montesquieu came from a noble family and was educated in law. His early career included service as a magistrate, which exposed him to the workings of the legal system and provided firsthand experience with the exercise of power. This practical knowledge informed his later philosophical work, as he sought to understand the connections between law and society, as well as the impact of political structures on individual liberty. 
  In The Spirit of Laws, Montesquieu examined a wide variety of political systems, including republics, monarchies, and despotisms, and their corresponding legal frameworks. His most famous contribution to political thought was his theory of the separation of powers, in which he argued that to prevent tyranny, government power should be divided into distinct branches—executive, legislative, and judicial—each with separate functions and the ability to check the other branches. This framework has become a central tenet of modern democratic systems, including the U.S. Constitution.

  Seeing Eye Girl - A Memoir of...

  Beverly J. Armento

  As the “Seeing Eye Girl” for her blind, artistic, and mentally ill mother, Beverly Armento was intimately connected with and responsible for her, even though her mother physically and emotionally abused her. She was Strong Beverly at school—excellent in academics and mentored by caring teachers—but at home she was Weak Beverly, cowed by her mother’s rage and delusions. 
  Beverly’s mother regained her sight with two corneal transplants in 1950 and went on to enjoy a moment of fame as an artist, but these positive turns did nothing to stop her disintegration into her delusional world of communists, radiation, and lurking Italians. To survive, Beverly had to be resilient and hopeful that better days could be ahead. But first, she had to confront essential ethical issues about her caregiving role in her family. 
  In this emotional memoir, Beverly shares the coping strategies she invented to get herself through the trials of her young life, and the ways in which school and church served as refuges over the course of her journey. Breaking the psychological chains that bound her to her mother would prove to be the most difficult challenge of her life—and, ultimately, the most liberating one.
