    A 13 pamphlet series by 18th century Enlightenment philosopher/author Thomas Paine, published between 1776 to 1783 during and immediately following the American Revolution, gathered into one volume in 1882 by Moncure D. Conway. Each essay, plus 2 inserts, bolstered the morale of the American colonists to fight hard for their independence, appealed to the English to support the colonist's cause, clarified the issues at stake, and denounced any type of negotiated peace. Replete with quotable quotes, the first pamphlet, Crisis I, begins with the now-familiar words "THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman." Paine, an Englishman living in the colonies, signed his pamphlets anonymously as "Common Sense." ( Michele Fry)

    "Henry Gee presents a pithy, fascinating account of the stages of biological evolution. ... a meditative and friendly listening experience. —AudioFile on A (Very) Short History of Life on EarthWritten and read by the award-winning author of A (Very) Short History of Life on Earth: a history of humanity on the brink of decline.A Next Big Idea Club Must-Read SelectionWe are living through a period that is unique in human history. For the first time in more than ten thousand years, the rate of human population growth is slowing down. In the middle of this century population growth will stop, and the number of people on Earth will start to decline—fast. In this provocative book, award-winning science writer Henry Gee offers a concise, brilliantly-told history of our species—and argues that we are on a rapid, one-way trip to extinction. The Decline and Fall of the Human Empire narrates the dramatic rise of humanity, how a scattered range of small groups across several continents eventually inbred, interacted, fought, established stable communities and food supplies, and began the process of dominating the planet. The human story is relatively brief—the oldest fossils of H. Sapiens date to approximately 300,000 years ago—yet the spread of our species has been unstoppable…until recently. As Gee demonstrates, our population has peaked, and is declining; our environment is becoming inimical to human life in many locations; our core resources of water, arable land, and air are diminishing; and new diseases, simmering conflicts, and ambiguous technologies threaten our collective health. Can we still change our course? Or is our own extinction inevitable?There could be a way out, but the launch window is narrow.Unless Homo sapiens establishes successful colonies in space within the next two centuries, our species is likely to stay earthbound and will have vanished entirely within another ten thousand years, bringing the seven-million-year story of the human lineage to an end.With assured narration, dramatic stories, and his signature sprightly humor, Henry Gee envisions new opportunities for the future of humanity—a future that will reward facing challenges with ingenuity, foresight, and cooperation.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.

    Political corruption is a pervasive issue that has existed for centuries, shaping the course of governments and societies worldwide. It manifests in various forms, from bribery and fraud to nepotism and abuse of power. Regardless of the system of governance, corruption erodes trust, distorts policies, and undermines democratic principles. While many assume corruption is limited to authoritarian regimes, it is also deeply embedded in democratic institutions, where influence and money often dictate political decisions.  
  
The roots of corruption can be traced back to the earliest civilizations, where leaders sought personal gain at the expense of their people. Throughout history, political scandals have exposed the extent of corruption within governments, from financial embezzlement to electoral fraud. These cases serve as stark reminders of how unchecked power can lead to widespread deception and exploitation. Corruption is not only a moral failure but a structural issue that allows those in power to manipulate systems designed to serve the public.  
  
Beyond historical examples, the impact of corruption is far-reaching. It weakens economies by diverting public funds into private hands, leaving essential services such as healthcare, education, and infrastructure underfunded. It fuels inequality, as the wealthy and well-connected benefit from corrupt dealings while the average citizen suffers. When corruption becomes the norm, public trust in institutions erodes, leading to political apathy, civil unrest, and, in extreme cases, the collapse of governments.
