Beschreibung

In "The Empresses of Constantinople," Joseph McCabe offers a meticulous exploration of the lives and influences of the women who wielded power in the Byzantine Empire. Through a narrative rich with historical detail and featuring a lyrical prose style, McCabe weaves together the stories of these formidable empresses, illuminating their roles in both political intrigue and cultural flourishing. This work not only delves into the biographies of notable figures but also situates them within the larger tapestry of Byzantine society, art, and religion, thus offering readers a comprehensive understanding of this complex period. Joseph McCabe, an English writer and philosopher well-versed in history, approached this subject with a distinct perspective shaped by his broad knowledge of religious and philosophical discourse. His extensive travels and studies across Europe enriched his insights into cultural dynamics, informing his portrayal of these significant women who navigated the treacherous waters of imperial politics. McCabe's scholarship reflects his deep commitment to revealing the often-overlooked contributions of women in history, a theme prevalent throughout his body of work. This book is a vital read for anyone interested in Byzantine history, women's studies, or the intersections of power and gender. McCabe's engaging narrative not only informs but also invites readers to reflect on the enduring legacy of these empresses, making "The Empresses of Constantinople" an indispensable addition to the library of any history aficionado.

    A riveting investigation into a school, a scam, and a notorious college admissions scandal that exposes the inequalities and racial segregation of American education, from two award-winning New York Times journalistsT.M. Landry College Prep, a small private school in Breaux Bridge, Louisiana, boasted a 100 percent college acceptance rate, placing students at nearly every Ivy League university in the country. The spectacle of Landry students opening their acceptance letters to Harvard and Yale was broadcast on television and even celebrated by Michelle Obama. It became a national ritual to watch the miraculous success of these youngsters—miraculous because Breaux Bridge is one of the poorest counties in the country, ranked close to the bottom for test scores and high school graduation rates. T.M. Landry was said to be “minting prodigies,” and the prodigies were often black.How did the school do it? It didn’t: It was a scam, pulled off with fake transcripts and personal essays telling fake stories of triumph over adversity. Worse, Landry’s success concealed a nightmare of alleged abuse and coercion. In a yearslong investigation, Katie Benner and Erica L. Green explored the lives of the students, the school, the town, and Ivy League admissions to understand why black teens were pressured to trade in racial stereotypes of hardship for opportunity.Gripping and illuminating, Miracle Children argues that the lesson of T.M. Landry is not that the school gamed the system but that it played by the rules—that its deceptions and abuses were the outcome of segregated schools, inequitable education, and the belief that elite colleges are the nation’s last path to life-changing economic opportunity.A Macmillan Audio production from Metropolitan Books

    Mention Japanese history to a non-Japanese, and the first thing that will likely come to mind is the samurai, the legendary warrior elite who ruled the country for over one thousand years. But how did they meet their end? 
    With their two swords, top-knot haircut, and legendary code of honor, the samurai were the absolute, unquestioned rulers of the country. That all began to change rapidly when the “black ships” of US Commodore Matthew Perry arrived in Tokyo Bay in 1853. 
    Since 1600, the Japanese had been closed off from the world. This began during the era of the Tokugawa shoguns, the family of generals who ruled Japan in the name of the emperor. Their reign ended in the early 1860s when the people of Japan realized that living in the past (under the samurai) had put them at a great disadvantage to the Western nations. 
    Between 1868 and 1912, Japan rose from a country stuck in the 17th century to a world power that defeated both China and Russia at war. In the 1920s and 1930s, Japan went from an evolving democracy to a resurgent military government, which attempted to dominate much of Asia and the Pacific. That effort ended with the two atomic bombs at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. 
    Japan yet again “rose from the ashes” and rebuilt itself as a modern Western-style democratic government and economic powerhouse. Today, the Japanese economy is the third-largest in the world, and Japanese culture is celebrated worldwide for its ancient wisdom, food, culture, and much more.
