  "Crito" is a philosophical dialogue between Socrates and his friend Crito, taking place in Socrates' prison cell in Athens. Socrates has been sentenced to death for allegedly corrupting the youth of Athens and impiety, and the dialogue takes place in the hours leading up to his execution. Crito has come to persuade Socrates to escape from prison and flee Athens, but Socrates refuses, arguing that he must obey the laws of Athens, even if they are unjust. Socrates believes that he has a moral obligation to obey the laws, since he has lived in Athens and benefited from its laws for his entire life. He also believes that it would be unjust to break the social contract that he has entered into with the state. Read in English, unabridged.

  With Her Own Hands - Women...

  Knitting, sewing, embroidery, quilting―throughout history, these and other forms of textile work have often been dismissed as merely "women's work" and attached to ideas of domesticity and obedience. Yet, as psychologist and avid knitter Nicole Nehrig explores in this captivating book, textile work has often been a way for women to exercise power. When their voices were silenced and other avenues were closed off to them, women used the tools they had―often a needle and thread―to seek freedom. 
   
  With Her Own Hands brings together remarkable stories of women who have used textiles as a means of liberation, from an eighteenth-century Quaker boarding school that used embroidered samplers to teach girls math and geography to the Quechua weavers working to preserve and revive Incan traditions today, and from the Miao women of southern China who, in the absence of a written language, pass down their histories in elaborate "story cloths" to a midcentury British women's postal art exchange. Textiles have been a way for women to explore their intellectual capacities, seek economic independence, create community, process traumas, and convey powerful messages of self-expression and political protest. 
   
  Heartfelt and deeply moving, With Her Own Hands is a celebration of women who have woven their own stories―and a testament to their resilience.

  Stewardship - The Responsible...

  Stewardship is a comprehensive approach to management that emphasizes responsible care and accountability for the resources entrusted to individuals, organizations, and communities. At its core, stewardship requires an understanding of both the tangible and intangible values of these resources and a commitment to ensuring they are used in a manner that preserves their potential for future generations. This chapter explores the historical evolution, philosophical underpinnings, and modern applications of stewardship, offering readers a solid grounding in the fundamental principles that guide responsible management. 
  Historically, the concept of stewardship can be traced back to ancient civilizations where caring for community resources was integral to societal survival and growth. Early cultures recognized the importance of balancing consumption with preservation, creating frameworks that emphasized duty, trust, and ethical responsibility. As societies evolved, these early principles laid the groundwork for more complex systems of governance and ethical management, adapting to meet the challenges of rapidly changing environments. This evolution underscores that stewardship is not a static concept but a dynamic practice that reflects the values and needs of the times. 
  In today’s world, stewardship extends far beyond basic resource management. It embraces sustainable practices, ethical leadership, and a long-term vision necessary for navigating the complexities of modern challenges in finance, the environment, and social structures. Central to this approach is the belief that effective management involves a deep respect for all resources—natural, financial, and human—and a commitment to their wise utilization. By integrating time-honored values with contemporary techniques, stewardship creates resilient frameworks that enable organizations to adapt to change while maintaining their core principles.
