  Where empire rose, mercy fell. 
  In No Place for Mercy, ancient Rome is unmasked—not as the marble-clad cradle of civilization, but as a brutal stage where sex, violence, and power played their most calculated roles. With a piercing lens, this provocative and deeply researched work reveals how sexual violence was not only a consequence of conquest but a deliberate tool of political manipulation and imperial propaganda. 
  From the mythologized Rape of the Sabine Women to the whispered scandals of imperial courts, No Place for Mercy exposes how Rome’s leaders wielded control over bodies as a means to control the narrative, transforming victims into symbols and violence into spectacle. 
  Drawing from primary sources, inscriptions, and visual art, this groundbreaking book explores how Roman elites exploited sexual violence to define citizenship, masculinity, and moral order. It challenges romanticized visions of antiquity and forces us to confront the uncomfortable truths beneath Rome’s glorious facade. 
  Bold, unflinching, and urgently relevant, this is history that speaks to today’s conversations about power, gender, and the weaponization of sexuality. For scholars, students, and anyone who dares to ask what lies beneath the empire’s polished stone, No Place for Mercy is an essential and unforgettable read.

  Far from being a poet of note or the wordsmith I wish to be, I’ve been flattered by others asking how I do it. Without the benefit of salient literary instruction, I’m urged to write as providential inspiration may move while caring immensely about the outcome. I have learned that writing poems is cathartic and a wonderful laxative for the mind. Thus, to that question, I responded with the poem Take a Thought…Wholesome and Good to describe my way. That isn’t to say all poets follow the same creative pattern and surely they don’t—I boast only of myself.

  Are contemporary soldiers exploited by the state and society that they defend? More specifically, have America's professional service members disproportionately carried the moral weight of America's war-fighting decisions since the inception of an all-volunteer force? In this volume, Michael J. Robillard and Bradley J. Strawser examine the question of whether and how American soldiers have been exploited in this way. 
   
   
   
  Robillard and Strawser offer an original theory of "moral exploitation"—the notion that persons or groups can be wrongfully exploited by being made to shoulder an excessive amount of moral weight. They make the case that this exploitation accurately describes the relationship between the United States and the members of its military, and offer an in-depth analysis of some of the exploitative and misleading elements of present-day military recruitment, the moral burdens soldiers often bear, and the stifling effect that a "Thank You for Your Service" and "I support the troops" culture has had on serious public engagement about America's ongoing wars. Robillard and Strawser offer a critique of the pernicious divide between military members and the civilians who direct them. They conclude by arguing for several normative and prudential prescriptions to help close this ever-widening fissure between the US and its military, and within the US itself.

  "The Pivot of Civilization" is a non-fiction book written by Margaret Sanger, the founder of the birth control movement in the United States. Sanger argues that overpopulation is the root cause of poverty, disease, and social unrest. She advocates for the use of birth control methods to enable women to control their own reproductive health and prevent unwanted pregnancies. Sanger also argues that access to birth control can help to improve the lives of women and children, and can ultimately lead to a better society. In "The Pivot of Civilization," Sanger makes a powerful case for the importance of reproductive rights and family planning. Her ideas were controversial at the time, but they helped to pave the way for the widespread availability of birth control and the legalization of abortion in the United States. Overall, "The Pivot of Civilization" is an influential book that remains relevant today as debates around reproductive rights and family planning continue to shape public policy and social attitudes
