Synopsis

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.

    Human rights capture what people need to live minimally decent lives. Recognized dimensions of this minimum include physical security, due process, political participation, and freedom of movement, speech, and belief, as well as—more controversially for some—subsistence, shelter, health, education, culture, and community. Far less attention has been paid to the interpersonal, social dimensions of a minimally decent life, including our basic needs for decent human contact and acknowledgment, for interaction and adequate social inclusion, and for relationship, intimacy, and shared ways of living, as well as our competing interests in solitude and associative freedom. 
     
     
     
    This pioneering collection of original essays aims to remedy the neglect of social needs and rights in human rights theory and practice by exploring the social dimensions of the human-rights minimum. The essays subject enumerated social human rights and proposed social human rights to philosophical scrutiny, and probe the conceptual, normative, and practical implications of taking social human rights seriously. The contributors to this volume demonstrate powerfully how important this undertaking is, despite the thorny theoretical and practical challenges that social rights present.

    A groundbreaking new resource for treating eating disorders. 
     
     
     
    Effective eating disorder treatment modalities for adults continue to elude practitioners, and the rates of eating disorder relapse remain staggeringly high. Meanwhile, a vital resource for people with eating disorders remains unexplored: their romantic relationships. 
     
     
     
    Tapping into this largely ignored vein of support, Gottman-RED (Relationships with Eating Disorders) is a new therapy for couples in which one or both partners have an eating disorder. Built upon a foundation of traditional Gottman Method Couples Therapy interventions, Gottman-RED adds fourteen new interventions designed specifically to help couples address difficult issues related to food, weight, body image, and exercise. These interventions encourage conversations characterized by empathetic engagement in which both partners are heard. 
     
     
     
    This highly versatile therapy is the culmination of Dr. Kim Lampson's thirty years of working as a counseling psychologist with both couples and individuals with eating disorders. It offers a crucial, missing piece in the puzzling world of eating disorder treatment modalities.

    While historically a topic of great interest, controversies and general public discourse surrounding addiction have been growing rapidly, particularly in light of the rising death toll resulting from the opioid epidemic. In light of the common misconception that addictive behaviors are entirely volitional, misinformation and stigma have had a deleterious impact on the public's understanding concerning the nature, causes, and treatments of substance use disorders. Despite decades of research and tens of thousands of published and peer-reviewed investigations, critics continue to ask whether addiction is a genuine medical condition or a choice. 
     
     
     
    In Addiction, leading expert in the science and treatment of addiction Suzette Glasner aims to clear the air of some of the most polarizing and misleading information that dominates public thinking about addiction. Providing straight talk and sound guidelines for the general public as well as health professionals and policymakers, Glasner raises important questions related to addiction and answers them in an accessible yet empirically informed manner throughout the book. Offering an insightful overview of addiction from its origins, to forms of treatment and complications, this book will be the go-to resource for authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and compelling information about this topic.
