    Public Safety: A Necessity

    A community without public safety will be like the land of Israel in those days when there was no king in Israel—everyone does what seems good to them. They kill at will, rape both men, women, and children at will, steal at will, and whatsoever seems good to them, just like the animal kingdom. 
    I, O. T. Osawaru, the author of this book, observed that our societies are gradually becoming lawless. The police and other public safety departments were defunded while empowering criminals and making them heroes. Hence the need to write this book. And to shift our focus on the consequence of these acts and bring back law and order in our societies to preserve lives and properties. 
    After listening to this book, I pray you will become an advocate for the need for public safety and the funding of every public safety body—furthermore, to encourage every public safety officer for their noble service in our societies.

    What if the better man is the one who knows he’s doing wrong—and does it anyway? 
    In Hippias Minor, Plato stages one of his most paradoxical and unsettling dialogues. Socrates questions whether a person who lies intentionally is actually better than someone who lies out of ignorance. The result is a sharp philosophical exchange that challenges our most basic ideas of morality and virtue. 
    This modern translation keeps Plato’s wit and depth intact while making the argument accessible and compelling for today’s listener. 
    What you'll discover inside: 
    •	A Bold Ethical Challenge – Socrates questions whether intentional wrongdoing shows greater intellect 
    •	Plato’s Paradox on Virtue – Explore the tension between knowledge and morality 
    •	A Lively Clash Between Sophist and Philosopher – Homer, Achilles, and deception take center stage 
    •	A Contemporary Translation for Clear Insight – Ideal for readers exploring deep ethical questions 
    Can a knowing liar be morally superior to an honest fool? Discover the argument that still unsettles philosophers today.

    The Cost of Inclusion - How...

    Young people are told that college is a place where they will “find themselves” by engaging with diversity and making friendships that will last a lifetime. This vision of an inclusive, diverse social experience is a fundamental part of the image colleges sell potential students. But what really happens when students arrive on campus and enter this new social world? The Cost of Inclusion delves into this rich moment to explore the ways students seek out a sense of belonging and the sacrifices they make to fit in. 
     
    Blake R. Silver spent a year immersed in student life at a large public university. He trained with the Cardio Club, hung out with the Learning Community, and hosted service events with the Volunteer Collective. Through these day-to-day interactions, he witnessed how students sought belonging and built their social worlds on campus. Over time, Silver realized that these students only achieved inclusion at significant cost. To fit in among new peers, they clung to or were pushed into raced and gendered cultural assumptions about behavior, becoming “the cool guy,” “the nice girl,” “the funny one,” “the leader,” “the intellectual,” or “the mom of the group.” Instead of developing dynamic identities, they crafted and adhered to a cookie-cutter self, one that was rigid and two-dimensional. Silver found that these students were ill-prepared for the challenges of a diverse college campus, and that they had little guidance from their university on how to navigate the trials of social engagement or the pressures to conform. While colleges are focused on increasing the diversity of their enrolled student body, Silver’s findings show that they need to take a hard look at how they are failing to support inclusion once students arrive on campus.

    Originally delivered as a series of lectures at Trinity College, Cambridge, in A Chorus of Ears Denise Riley meditates upon the emphasis we place upon the persona of the poet, relegating their actual poetry to a second-order importance. Prize culture and the primacy of the poet – as opposed to the poem – transform criticism into a beauty contest, constraining our ability to meet the lyric on its own terms.What, Riley asks, might be discovered about the purpose of poetry, its originary point within our language and more yet besides, when we liberate it from the persona of the author? In allowing the poem to speak, what might we hear?‘One of the most eloquent thinkers about our life in language’ – The Sunday Times
