Sinossi

Ancient Laws explores the fascinating origins and development of legal systems in early civilizations, revealing how these ancient codes shaped our modern understanding of justice. The book examines legal innovations from Mesopotamia to Rome, highlighting the Code of Hammurabi, one of the earliest known examples of written law, and the Law of the Twelve Tables, a cornerstone of Roman legal tradition. These early legal systems weren't just about punishment; they established principles of social order, property rights, and governance that continue to influence legal thought today. The book approaches this complex topic with clear explanations and avoids focusing solely on Western traditions, thus offering a more balanced perspective on world history. It begins by laying the groundwork with an overview of codification and its importance, then systematically analyzes individual legal codes like the Code of Ur-Nammu and the Mosaic Law. Later chapters shift to the Roman legal system, tracing its evolution to the Justinian Code, and ultimately assess the lasting legacy of ancient law on modern legal systems. By connecting historical context with the specific provisions of ancient laws, Ancient Laws reveals the profound and enduring impact of these early attempts to codify human behavior.

    An expanded edition of the first practical, nonjudgmental handbook for dealing with microaggressions, featuring examples, sample scripts, action plans, a new discussion and activity guide, and up-to-date suggestions for creating a culture of belonging in the workplace. 
     
    Overt discrimination is relatively easy to spot. But the less obvious but more common actions that make people feel left out or stigmatized in our workplaces, commonly called microaggressions, can be hard to identify and even harder to deal with. 
     
    The author use a clearer, more accurate term: subtle acts of exclusion (SAE). After all, people generally aren't trying to be aggressive-usually they're trying to say something nice, learn more about a person, or be funny. Bring accused of aggression shuts the conversation down, when you want to open it up.   
     
    This book features examples, tools, sample scripts, and action plans to help readers prevent subtle acts of aggression from happening, or deal with them when they do. Updated throughout, this second edition features: 
     
    -	A greatly expanded chapter on "intentional acts of inclusion"-actions for creating a sense of belonging. 
    -	A discussion and activity guide ideal for book clubs and training sessions 
    -	A new concluding chapter, Hope for Humanity 
     
    Whether in the form of stereotypes, assumptions, backhanded compliments, or objectification, SAEs are damaging to our coworkers, friends, and acquaintances. This book is your friendly, accessible, non-judgemental guide to creating a welcoming workplace.

    Kingdom of Kongo - Christianity...

    The Kingdom of Kongo emerged as one of the most powerful and centralized states in Central Africa. Its origins can be traced back to the early Bantu migrations, which spread agriculture, ironworking, and complex social structures across the region. By the 14th century, various smaller chiefdoms in present-day Angola and the Democratic Republic of Congo began to coalesce under a single authority, forming what would become the Kingdom of Kongo. 
    The region’s fertile lands and access to major rivers facilitated both agriculture and trade. Kongo’s early economy relied on the cultivation of crops such as millet, sorghum, and bananas, as well as the production of iron tools and weapons. The abundance of natural resources allowed the ruling elite to accumulate wealth and expand their influence. As trade networks developed, Kongo became a center of commerce, linking the interior regions of Central Africa with coastal markets. 
    Kongo's social and political organization was highly structured. At the top of the hierarchy was the king, known as the Manikongo, who ruled from the capital, Mbanza Kongo. The Manikongo exercised authority over provincial rulers, who governed different regions of the kingdom. This system allowed for centralized administration while also granting local leaders autonomy in managing their territories. The kingdom was further divided into districts and villages, with a bureaucratic structure that ensured tax collection, military organization, and judicial functions.

    A reflective, original invitation to recover and cultivate the human experiences that have atrophied in our virtual world. 
     
     
     
    We embraced the mediated life—from Facetune and Venmo to meme culture and the Metaverse—because these technologies offer novelty and convenience. But they also transform our sense of self and warp the boundaries between virtual and real. What are the costs? Who are we in a disembodied world? 
     
     
     
    In The Extinction of Experience, Christine Rosen investigates the cultural and emotional shifts that accompany our embrace of technology. In warm, philosophical prose, Rosen reveals key human experiences at risk of going extinct, including face-to-face communication, sense of place, authentic emotion, and even boredom. Considering cultural trends, like TikTok challenges and mukbang, and politically unsettling phenomena, like sociometric trackers and online conspiracy culture, Rosen exposes an unprecedented shift in the human condition, one that habituates us to alienation and control. To recover our humanity and come back to the real world, we must reclaim serendipity, community, patience, and risk.
