Sinopsis

James Ford Rhodes'Äôs "History of the American Civil War" offers a meticulously researched and narrative-driven account of one of the most pivotal conflicts in American history. Written in the early 20th century, Rhodes employs a clear, analytical style that emphasizes not only the military aspects of the war but also the social, political, and economic influences that shaped its course. His work is notable for its exhaustive primary source documentation and thoughtful examination of both Union and Confederate perspectives, which situates the Civil War within a broader context of American identity and struggle for equality. Rhodes, a prominent historian and industrialist, was influenced by his lifelong commitment to documenting American history and fostering a more profound understanding of national identity. His primary research was conducted during a time when the ramifications of the Civil War were still keenly felt, allowing him to explore themes of reconciliation and the ongoing impact of the conflict. His scholarship was characterized by a dedication to empirical evidence and an impartial approach to historical analysis, making him a respected figure in American historiography. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in the complexities of the American Civil War and its enduring legacy. Rhodes'Äôs detailed narrative and insightful analysis not only provide a comprehensive overview of the conflict but also encourage readers to contemplate the interplay of race, power, and justice in a nation still grappling with these issues today.

    In 432 BCE the powerful city-state of Sparta on the peninsula of the Peloponnesus in southwestern Greece declared war on Athens, head of a mighty naval coalition. The war would last until Sparta finally brought Athens to its knees in 404. The Athenian aristocrat Thucydides, suspecting the magnitude of the conflict that was unfolding before his eyes, at once undertook to record its history, exploring the causes and course of the war in the context of his great interest: human nature. An introduction to Thucydides's thought and background, this book examines Thucydides's account of the war in the context both of the international situation in the classical Greek world and of the intellectual traditions of the fifth century BCE, exploring the historian's connection to prose writers like Herodotus as well as poets like Homer and the tragedians, and investigating the complex dynamics of the war that changed the Greek world forever.

    How can culture, politics and business work together to meet the challenges of the future? Will united Europe fall victim to individual national interests? Is the economy the silver bullet when it comes to solving global challenges? Can policy makers still lead in an age of fake news and escalating expectations? What kind of support is needed – and from which culture – to shape a sustainable society?
    The book Voices for the Future documents the lively exchange between international thought leaders from the cultural, economic and political spheres on solutions to current and coming problems. Since 2002, they have been gathering at the Trilogue Salzburg to take a shared look at what the future holds. Where has the Trilogue been farsighted in terms of the issues that now dominate the policy agenda and our everyday lives? What must (still) happen if we are to respond effectively to future challenges? Voices for the Future essays answers to these questions, addressing the topics of Europe, the labor market, leadership, education and values.

    Hanging Out - The Radical Power...

    A smart and empowering book about the simple art of hanging out . . . and of taking back our social lives from the deadening whirl of contemporary life. 
     
     
     
    Almost every day it seems that our world becomes more fractured, more digital, and more chaotic. Sheila Liming has the answer: we need to hang out more. 
     
     
     
    Starting with the assumption that play is to children as hanging out is to adults, Liming makes a brilliant case for the necessity of unstructured social time as a key element of our cultural vitality. The book asks questions like what is hanging out? why is it important? why do we do it? how do we do it? and examines the various ways we hang out—in groups, online, at parties, at work. 
     
     
     
    Hanging Out: The Radical Power of Killing Time makes an intelligent case for the importance of this most casual of social structures and shows us how just getting together can be a potent act of resistance all on its own.
