  How to Make a Home - An Ancient...

  Vitruvius

  An entertaining and enlightening collection of ancient Roman writings about home design and decoration 
   
   
   
  The idea that our homes can communicate professional as well as personal identities may seem as new as the work-from-home revolution. But it was second nature to the ancient Romans, for whom the home was in many ways the center of public and private life. Roman authors saw infinite practical and symbolic value in houses, and they have much to say about them. How to Make a Home presents some of the best Roman writings on houses—from buying and selling to designing and decorating. 
   
   
   
  Edited and elegantly translated by Marden Fitzpatrick Nichols, How to Make a Home gathers selections by Cicero, Vitruvius, Seneca, and others. These writings reveal the pleasures and pitfalls of the Roman practice of making one's home a cornerstone of self-expression. While the ideal home enshrined Roman virtues and could make a career, lavish building projects could lead to financial ruin and moral condemnation. These authors memorably describe such travails as deceptive staging, decorators run amok, know-it-all owners, unsupervised contractors, and buyer's remorse. Along the way, they also explain why simplicity is bliss, privacy is for nobodies, a neglected house is a sign of a neglected soul, and much more.

  Urban Crime and Safety -...

  Urban crime is a complex and pervasive issue that affects millions of people across the globe. As cities continue to grow and evolve, the challenges of maintaining safety and reducing criminal activity become more pressing. Urban areas, often characterized by dense populations, diverse social dynamics, and limited resources, can create an environment where crime thrives. These cities face a unique set of circumstances that contribute to the rise of criminal activities, ranging from petty theft to violent crimes. The relationship between urban crime and safety is multifaceted and requires a comprehensive understanding of its causes, impact, and the strategies necessary for effective crime prevention. 
  The rise in urban crime can be attributed to several factors, including social inequality, economic disparity, inadequate law enforcement, and environmental design issues. High levels of poverty, unemployment, and lack of education in certain neighborhoods often serve as breeding grounds for criminal behavior. In many urban centers, individuals with limited opportunities turn to crime as a means of survival or social mobility. The breakdown of social networks and a lack of community cohesion further exacerbate these challenges, making it difficult to foster a sense of security and mutual trust among residents. 
  Urban crime also places a significant strain on local law enforcement and public resources. Police departments are often overwhelmed by the volume and diversity of crimes that occur in cities. Additionally, urban environments may present logistical challenges for law enforcement agencies, such as limited manpower, insufficient technology, and high crime concentrations in certain areas. This can lead to delayed responses, reduced effectiveness, and strained relations between law enforcement and the communities they serve.

  This is a guidebook on world control and management, a program that Wells believed should be orchestrated (and would be successful) through what he called the "Open Conspiracy". This conspiracy is fully outlined in this work and is designed to be run by many separate organizations working together, as opposed to being run by just one group. Is this required reading for the world's most powerful people? Maybe it is. Or maybe it should be. Wells was a visionary and genius whose work should be paid attention to. Chapters include The Idea of the Open Conspiracy, We Have to Clear and Clean Up Our Minds, The Revolution in Education, Religion in the New World, What Mankind Has to Do, Modern Forces Antagonistic to the Open Conspiracy, The Resistances of the Less Industrialized Peoples to the Drive of the Open Conspiracy, The Open Conspiracy Begins as a Movement of Discussion, Explanation and Propaganda, Development of the Activities of the Open Conspiracy, Human Life in the Coming World Community, and more.
