Tracing the journey from medieval schools, the book highlights the shifting purposes of universities – initially centered on theology, law, and medicine, and later expanding to scientific research and technological innovation. It also examines the evolving social roles of universities, from influencing social mobility to shaping cultural development. 

 
The book adopts a chronological and thematic approach, starting with the emergence of medieval universities. It then analyzes their transformation during the Renaissance and Reformation, and concludes with the rise of the modern university in the 19th and 20th centuries. A unique aspect of this academic history lies in its comparative analysis of universities across different national contexts, revealing diverse pathways of institutional development and the interconnectedness of academia. 

 
The content provides necessary historical context, including an overview of medieval society, the Renaissance, the Reformation, the Enlightenment, and the rise of modern nation-states.

    Essays: First Series Compensation

    Ralph Waldo Emerson

    A world in perfect balance—so claims Emerson in Compensation, an essay that pulses with quiet defiance and deep assurance. No gain without loss, no misstep without lesson, no fortune without its hidden tax. It is neither fate nor blind justice but a living rhythm, an invisible hand that rights every scale, even when human eyes fail to see.
    Emerson does not preach; he unfolds. The idea seeps in, settles, challenges. His words are not doctrine but a lens—through which prosperity and misfortune reveal themselves as two faces of the same coin. To take without giving, to rise without cost—impossible. The universe does not permit such imbalances to last.
    In his signature style, Emerson moves between the poetic and the philosophical, the tangible and the transcendent. He speaks not to convince but to awaken. He does not offer comfort; he offers clarity. The reader who steps into Compensation may leave unsettled, yet somehow lighter, as if a long-unnoticed weight has been named, measured, and, at last, understood.

    Before the Vietnam War, most Americans would have been hard pressed to locate Vietnam on a map. South Vietnamese President Diệm’s regime was extremely unpopular, and war broke out between Communist North Vietnam and South Vietnam around the end of the 1950s. Kennedy’s administration tried to prop up the South Vietnamese with training and assistance, but the South Vietnamese military was feeble. A month before his death, Kennedy signed a presidential directive withdrawing 1,000 American personnel, and shortly after Kennedy’s assassination, new President Lyndon B. Johnson reversed course, instead opting to expand American assistance to South Vietnam. 
    	The post-analysis of war is a complicated and process that benefits from hindsight, and the involvement of the United States in Vietnam over about a decade was no exception. Never formally declared as a “war,” the Vietnam War was not fought in clean lines or with clear missions. Viewers of the evening news listening to the “box score” of killed and wounded each night had at best a hazy notion of what was happening a world away in Southeast Asia. If anything, their leaders were both attentive to reelection and on a certain level were themselves unsure of what was truly taking place. A military draft that sent over 50,000 American soldiers to their deaths was triggered by a resolution sought by President Lyndon B. Johnson in a decision to contain communism in a distant Asian land.

    “For those who love baseball, the game holds deep personal meaning and echoes to the past that are undeniable but often hard to articulate. Christian Sheppard’s The Ancient Wisdom of Baseball is a love letter to baseball that explains its connections to our inner lives and to classical lore in a way that makes one pine for Opening Day.”  —THEO EPSTEIN
     
    Who are you, how are you supposed to live, and what about happiness? Answers to age-old questions are offered in classic myths about heroes, gods, and monsters, and at the ballgame.
     
    In The Ancient Wisdom of Baseball, author Christian Sheppard interweaves Homer’s epics with glorious stories from the green fields of America’s pastime, celebrating Achilles’ courage and Odysseus’ cunning along with the virtues of Hall of Fame
        players such as Jackie Robinson and Babe Ruth and of great teams such as the 2004 Red Sox and the 2016 Cubs. Along the way, Sheppard humorously recollects trying to raise his baby daughter true to the teachings of ancient myth and his beloved game.
        The result is an endearing, insightful, and inspiring guide to cultivating virtue and becoming the hero of your own life’s odyssey.
