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.

    Celebrated leadership expert and political scientist Gautam Mukunda provides a comprehensive, objective, and non-partisan method for answering the most important question in the world: is someone up to the job of president of the United States? 
     
     
      
    In Picking Presidents, Gautam Mukunda sets his sights on presidential candidates, proposing a tested method to assess whether they will succeed or fail if they win the White House. Combining political science, psychology, organizational behavior, and economics, Picking Presidents will enable every American to cast an informed vote. 
     
     
      
    In his 2012 book Indispensable, which all but predicted the Trump presidency, Mukunda explained how both the very best and very worst leaders are "unfiltered"—outsiders who take power without the understanding or support of traditional elites. Picking Presidents provides deep analysis of filtered and unfiltered presidents alike, from failed haberdasher and skillful president Harry Truman, to the exceptionally well-qualified—and ultimately reviled—James Buchanan; from Andrew Johnson, who set civil rights back by a century, to Theodore Roosevelt, who evaded party opposition to transform American society. Picking Presidents lays out a clear framework that anyone can use to judge a candidate and answer the all-important question: are they up to the job?

    Self-motivation is your ability, inner strength and willpower to push yourself towards the achievement of your goals and purpose. However, as no man is an island and no man is a product of himself alone, there are many factors also that cause most people to lose their inner drive. Necessity has been the driving cause for most, but this shouldn’t be the case at all times. The ability to drive oneself towards taking initiative, the relevant actions to pursue goals, and complete tasks is crucial. It’s an inner drive to take action to create and achieve. It’s what pushes you to keep going on tasks, especially those you’re pursuing because you want to, not because someone told you to.

    The Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) protests were a defining moment in the intersection of environmental advocacy and Indigenous rights. Proposed to transport crude oil from the Bakken oil fields in North Dakota to Illinois, the pipeline’s route crossed sacred lands and the Missouri River, threatening water supplies and cultural heritage. While its proponents touted economic benefits and energy security, the project drew fierce resistance from the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and their allies, sparking a global movement.  
      
    At its core, the DAPL protests highlighted long-standing issues of environmental justice and the marginalization of Indigenous peoples in America. For centuries, Native American communities have faced the erosion of their sovereignty and disregard for their land rights. The pipeline’s route through unceded treaty lands underscored systemic failures to honor agreements and protect sacred sites. Moreover, it served as a stark reminder of the broader environmental challenges tied to fossil fuel dependence and its impact on climate change.  
      
    The Standing Rock protests grew into a powerful grassroots campaign that united activists, environmentalists, and Indigenous groups from around the world. The movement’s significance lay not only in its immediate objectives—stopping the pipeline—but also in its ability to bring visibility to Indigenous struggles and inspire global solidarity. Social media played an instrumental role in amplifying the protests, creating a platform for underrepresented voices and rallying international support.

    Science and Politics

    The recent coronavirus pandemic proved that the time-old notion seems now truer than ever: that science and politics represent a clash of cultures. But why should scientists simply "stick to the facts" and leave politics to the politicians when the world seems to be falling down around us? 
     
     
     
    Drawing on his experience as both a research scientist and an expert advisor at the center of government, Ian Boyd takes an empirical approach to examining the current state of the relationship between science and politics. He argues that the way politicians and scientists work together today results in a science that is on tap for ideological (mis)use, and governance that fails to serve humanity's most fundamental needs. Justice is unlikely—perhaps impossible—while science is not a fully integrated part of the systems for collective decision-making across society. 
     
     
     
    In Science and Politics, Boyd presents an impassioned argument for a series of conceptual and structural innovations that could resolve this fundamental tension, revealing how a radical intermingling of these (apparently contradictory) professions might provide the world with better politics and better science.
