Beschreibung

In 'The Two Great Republics: Rome and the United States,' James Lewis presents a meticulously crafted examination of the structural and ideological parallels between these two dominant powers of their respective eras. His prose weaves a narrative that transcends mere historical recounting, inviting readers into a rich analysis that explores governmental foundations, civil liberties, and the evolution of civic duties. Lewis positions his work against the backdrop of world literature, ensuring the tome resonates with an enduring relevance that begs to connect past lessons with contemporary societal challenges. His approach reflects a deep understanding not only of the historical facts but also of the cultural and political milieus that shaped these nations. Within the literary context, Lewis' comparative study emerges as a reflective mirror, calling upon readers to ponder the cyclical nature of history and the blueprint of republics. James Lewis, in penning this compelling narrative, offers a testament to his scholarship and fervent wisdom. His background, potentially marked by an intimate familiarity with political theory and history, seems to have steered his inquiry into this cross-temporal comparison. One might infer that Lewis' impetus to author such a work was derived from a pressing sense of situational awareness of his own republic's place in history, alongside a desire to contextualize its evolution within the grander scope of civilizational vicissitudes—both of which he achieves with commendable erudition. To the discerning reader, 'The Two Great Republics' reveals both the shadow and the light of republicanism, prompting critical contemplation on the ebb and flow of democratic principles. It is a profound read for historians, political scientists, and those intrigued by the anatomy of power and governance. The book serves as an invaluable resource for understanding how the echoes of Rome reverberate within the American context and ultimately challenges us to consider the dynamics that sustain republics over the expanse of time. Lewis' scholarly tour de force is an essential addition to the libraries of those who seek to appreciate the gravity of historical insight in shaping our modern political landscape.

    “A hauntingly beautiful story of rescue and rehabilitation….[A] gorgeous tale of redemption.” 
    —Susan Richards, New York Times bestselling author of Chosen by a Horse“I could not put this book down.” 
    —Stacey O'Brien, New York Times bestselling author of Wesley the OwlFrom the moment Jeff Guidry saw the emaciated baby eagle with broken wings, his life was changed. For weeks he and the staff at Sarvey Wildlife Care Center tended to the grievously injured bird. Miraculously, she recovered, and Jeff, a center volunteer, became her devoted caretaker. 
    Though Freedom would never fly, she had Jeff as her wings. And after Jeff was diagnosed with stage 3 non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in 2000, Freedom returned his gift. Between sessions of debilitating chemotherapy, Jeff went back to Sarvey and began taking Freedom for walks that soothed his spirit and gave him the strength to fight. A tender tale of hope, love, trust, and life, this moving true story is an affirmation of the spiritual connection that humans and animals share.

    Revolutionary War officer Nathan Hale, one of America's first spies, said, "Any kind of service necessary to the public good becomes honorable by being necessary." A statue of Hale stands outside CIA headquarters, and the agency often cites his statement as one of its guiding principles. But who decides what is necessary for the public good, and is it really true that any kind of service is permissible for the public good? 
    These questions are at the heart of James M. Olson's book, Fair Play: The Moral Dilemmas of Spying. Olson, a veteran of the CIA's clandestine service, takes listeners inside the real world of intelligence to describe the difficult dilemmas that field officers face on an almost daily basis. Far from being a dry theoretical treatise, this fascinating book uses actual intelligence operations to illustrate how murky their moral choices can be. Listeners will be surprised to learn that the CIA provides very little guidance on what is, or is not, permissible. Rather than empowering field officers, the author has found that this lack of guidelines actually hampers operations. Olson believes that U.S. intelligence officers need clearer moral guidelines to make correct, quick decisions.

    Is there a pill for love? What about an "anti-love drug," to help us get over an ex? This book argues that certain psychoactive substances, including MDMA—the active ingredient in Ecstasy—may help ordinary couples work through relationship difficulties and strengthen their connection. Others may help sever an emotional connection during a breakup. These substances already exist, and they have transformative implications for how we think about love. This book builds a case for conducting research into "love drugs" and "anti-love drugs" and explores their ethical implications for individuals and society. Scandalously, Western medicine tends to ignore the interpersonal effects of drug-based interventions. Why are we still in the dark about the effects of these drugs on romantic partnerships? And how can we overhaul scientific research norms to take relationships more fully into account? 
    Ethicists Brian D. Earp and Julian Savulescu say that the time to think through such questions is now. Love Drugs arms us with the latest scientific knowledge and a set of ethical tools that we can use to decide if these sorts of medications should be a part of our society. Or whether a chemical romance will be right for us.
