  Laches, a general in the Athenian army, saw Socrates fight bravely in the battle of Delium. When he and Nicias, another general, are asked to explain the idea of courage, they are at a loss and words fail them. How does courage differ from thoughtless and reckless audacity? Can a lion be said to be courageous? What about small children who have little idea of the dangers they face?
   
  Should we call people courageous who do not know whether their bravery will produce good or bad consequences? What kind of education and training promotes both courage and goodness in people, whether they are young or old? Plato constantly presents courage as an essential quality for all who seek to live a good life, so what does it mean when even the bravest leaders of Athens cannot tell us what courage really is?

  The epic Battle of Iwo Jima is recounted through the stories of twenty-eight American soldiers who showed uncommon valor during one of WWII’s most bitter conflicts. When the smoke cleared on Iwo Jima in March of 1945, nineteen-thousand American Marines had been wounded and seven-thousand were dead, a casualty rate of nearly thirty-nine percent. Lasting over a month, Iwo was the Marines’ bloodiest battle of the Second World War and the only Pacific battle in which a U.S. landing force suffered more casualties than it inflicted. It was also the most highly decorated single engagement in Marine Corps history.  This volume captures the bravery of those who fought in that epic battle through the stories of twenty-two Marines and five Navy personnel who received the Medal of Honor in recognition of their gallantry under fire.

  Capitalism Unveiled -...

  Capitalism is one of the most influential and widely practiced economic systems in the world today. Rooted in the principles of private ownership and free enterprise, it has shaped modern societies and economies for centuries. At its core, capitalism is an economic system where individuals and businesses own and operate the means of production and distribution of goods and services. This ownership is driven by the pursuit of profit, incentivizing innovation, efficiency, and productivity. 
  The origins of capitalism can be traced back to the decline of feudalism in Europe during the late Middle Ages. As trade expanded and markets grew, the need for a more flexible and dynamic economic structure became apparent. The Industrial Revolution of the 18th and 19th centuries played a pivotal role in solidifying capitalism as the dominant economic system, introducing mass production and new technologies that revolutionized industries. 
  The free market is the cornerstone of capitalism. It operates on the principle of supply and demand, where prices are determined by the interaction of buyers and sellers. This self-regulating mechanism, famously referred to as the "invisible hand" by economist Adam Smith, ensures that resources are allocated efficiently and goods are produced in response to consumer needs. Competition among businesses fosters innovation, lowers prices, and improves quality, benefiting consumers and driving economic progress.
