Sinopsis

In "Pictures of German Life in the 18th and 19th Centuries," Gustav Freytag offers a comprehensive exploration of the social, cultural, and economic fabric of Germany during a transformative period. This two-volume work employs a rich literary style that blends vivid narrative with keen observation, allowing readers to visualize the intricate lifestyles and customs of various German communities. Freytag's meticulous attention to detail reflects an era marked by significant change, including the impact of industrialization and the rise of nationalism, making this text both a historical document and a literary representation of German identity in the given centuries. Gustav Freytag, a notable 19th-century German novelist and playwright, drew on his own experiences and the cultural milieu of his time to produce this seminal work. His background as a sociologist and interest in the interplay between society and literature significantly informed his writing. Freytag's insights into mid-19th-century German life were shaped by his exposure to the Romantic movement and his desire to portray the complexities of his country's evolving landscape, presenting a reflective yet critical perspective. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in German literature and history, as it provides an indispensable context for understanding the socio-cultural landscape of the 18th and 19th centuries. Freytag's poignant illustrations of life during this period invite readers to immerse themselves in the past, making it a valuable resource for scholars and enthusiasts alike.

    Liberal White Supremacy - How...

    In Liberal White Supremacy, Angie Beeman argues that white supremacy is maintained not only by right-wing conservatives or stereotypically uneducated working-class racial bigots but also by progressives who operate from a liberal ideology of color-blindness, racism-evasiveness, and class elitism. This distinction provides insight on divisions among progressives at the local level, in community organizations, and at the national level, in the Democratic Party. By distinguishing between liberal and radical approaches to racism, class oppression, capitalism, and social movement tactics, Beeman shows how progressives continue to be limited by liberal ideology and perpetuate rather than dismantle white supremacy, all while claiming to be antiracist. 
     
     
     
    She conceptualizes this self-serving process as "liberal white supremacy," the tendency for liberal European Americans to constantly place themselves in the superior moral position in a way that reinforces inequality. Beeman advances what she calls action-oriented and racism-centered intersectional approaches as alternatives to progressive organizational strategies that either downplay racism in favor of a class-centered approach or take a talk-centered approach to racism without developing explicit actions to challenge it.

    After a few moments of intense and unexplainable anxiety his junior year of high school, Kevin’s brain health issues began to get worse. Over the next two decades, he experienced unremitting anxiety and months-long battles with intense depression. 
    As a driven athlete and competitor, Kevin became obsessed with finding both the cause and the cure. In spite of the psychiatric community's insistence that a “diagnosis is forever” and “management is the best you can hope for,” Kevin kept searching for just one person who had been diagnosed with a “mental Illness” and recovered. 
    Meanwhile, his issues haunted him into early adulthood, leading to hospital stays and a suicide attempt that nearly ended it all. Open to trying any healing modality that offered the hope of a cure, Kevin tried 1,000s of therapies and drugs. “What’s wrong with me” became his mantra. “What’s wrong with me” became the echoing backdrop that was both driving his brain health condition and propelling him forward with an obsession to find answers.

  • Roman and Byzantine Armies The: The History of the Militaries in the Western Roman Empire and Eastern Roman Empire - cover

    Roman and Byzantine Armies The:...

    The Roman army is one of the most famous fighting forces in history. Through its power and prowess, a once obscure Italian city forged an empire that encircled the Mediterranean and covered half of Europe. The physical remains of its presence can be traced from the mountainous borders of Scotland to the arid deserts of Egypt, but its legacy is far greater and more enduring, as Rome's influence continues to shape the political, legal, and cultural landscape of Europe to this very day. 
    While the Roman army is rightly famed as an institution, the image of the individual legionary is also an iconic one. The uniformed, disciplined soldier of the late Republic and early Empire is one of the first things many people imagine when they think of Rome. They are the ultimate image of the ancient soldier, their arms and armor instantly recognizable. Their abilities, not only as warriors but also as engineers and administrators, have made them role models for other soldiers through the centuries. In the same vein, their commanders are still celebrated and studied, and generals the world over have tried to emulate the likes of Julius Caesar. 
    The Byzantine Empire was the heir to two great cultures that cradled and nurtured European civilization: Greece and Rome. Constantinople, now called Istanbul, became a center of power, culture, trade, and technology poised on the edges of Europe and Asia, and its influence was felt not only throughout Europe but the Middle East, Africa, Central Asia, and the Far East. In reality, Byzantium was a strong, organized, highly effective and adaptable civilization for most of its long history. It owed its success in no small part to its military, which, in contrast to the feudal armies of Western Europe and the tribally based forces of the Middle East, operated with a high level of discipline, strategic prowess, efficiency, and organization.
