Synopsis

In "Conspiracy of Catiline," Gaius Sallustius Crispus, a prominent Roman historian and politician, delves into one of the most infamous political conspiracies of the Roman Republic. Written in a vivid and engaging prose style, the text employs a dynamic narrative that captures the tension and moral decay surrounding Lucius Sergius Catilina's plot to overthrow the government in 63 BCE. Sallust's work is noteworthy for its use of psychological insight into the motives of its characters, as well as for highlighting the contrasts between the virtues of the past and the vices of contemporary Roman society. The historical context of the late Republic, marked by corruption and social unrest, serves as a backdrop that enriches the text's exploration of power, ambition, and betrayal. Sallust's background as both a soldier and politician influenced his writing, shaping his perspectives on morality and governance. His experiences, including his later detachment from political life due to disillusionment with the corruption prevalent in Roman politics, imbue the narrative with an authenticity and urgency, making it a critical commentary on the psychology of power. His focus on characters like Cicero, and the moral repercussions of their actions, reveals a profound understanding of human nature amid political tumult. "Conspiracy of Catiline" is essential reading for students of history, literature, or political science, offering timeless insights into political ambition and ethical responsibility. Readers will find a compelling tale that resonates with contemporary issues, making it a relevant text for anyone interested in the complexities of leadership and the consequences of conspiracy. Bask in Sallust's enlightening examination of ambition and morality, and discover the intricate interplay of power in one of history's pivotal moments.

    Giving My All captures the journey of Earl Martin Phalen as he navigates family, self-identity and purpose.As a black boy adopted into a large, loving Irish Catholic family at age two, Earl discovered at a young age that he was meant to stand out. Yet whether it was on the basketball court or early in his career as a young and ambitious “edupreneur,” Earl encountered opportunities that required him to give his all, but often found himself holding back. Earl faced both subtle and overt racism in his predominantly white neighborhoods, but with the love and unrelenting support of his family, he was able to overcome much—facing it most directly and intentionally for the first time when he arrived on Yale campus as a young athlete scholar. While at Yale, Earl gained a new sense of pride and purpose as he connected with his black and African American heritage. This would continue throughout his studies and into graduate school at Harvard Law, where his calling to education—particularly that of black and brown children—came to life. Earl has dedicated his life to improving the access poor, black and brown children have to quality education and opportunities.

    The Shortest History of Eugenics...

    A harrowing history of a grim chapter in politics and science, in which groups of influential thinkers shaped global policy with the aim of determining who had the right to have children—and who was worthy of life. 
     
     
     
    For the last two centuries, groups of influential men have, in the professed interest of fiscal responsibility, crime reduction, and outright racism, attempted to control who was allowed to bear children. Their efforts, "eugenics," characterize a movement that over the last century swept across the world—from the US to Brazil, Japan, India, Australia, and beyond—in the form of marriage restrictions, asylum detention, and sterilization campaigns affected millions. German physicians and scientists adopted and then heightened these eugenics practices beginning in 1939, starving or executing those they deemed "life unworthy of life." 
     
     
     
    But well after the liberation of Nazi deathcamps, health care workers and even the US government pursued policies worldwide with the express purpose of limiting the reproduction of poor non-whites. The Shortest History of Eugenics takes us back to the founding principles of the movement, revealing how an idea that began in cattle breeding took such an insidious turn—and how it lingers in rhetoric and policy today.

    Science, not speculative philosophy, is the only guide, however imperfect, to the nature of existence. Science culture uses and supports science. The social brain experiences free will and needs religious faith. Empathy is a choice based on intuition. We need a better scientific understanding of dogma and chauvinism, and this book explores these issues. It also describes the Crisis of the Anthropocene, described in under a hundred pages, is a wakeup that needs to overcome ignorance and naïve optimism, and reach our deepest emotions. Topics include climate change, biodiversity, pollutants, population, and political causes behind the collapse. This book also presents data from Internationalcomparisons.org that demonstrates that the US is neither advanced nor a democracy and has failed to deal with guns, reproductive rights, taxation, social welfare, fiscal discipline, and other issues. Even with these already significant problems Americans must face, there is even more: Trumpism and Putinism are existential threats to American freedom and democracy. This book presents a framework for others to act in the time of these issues.
