THE HISTORY OF ROME (Complete Edition in 4 Volumes) - Enriched edition

Livy

Sinopse

In "The History of Rome," Livy presents a comprehensive narrative that chronicles the rise and fall of Rome from its mythical origins to the dawn of the Empire. With a meticulous literary style that combines eloquent prose and vivid characterization, Livy employs a historical lens that not only recounts events but also delves deeply into the moral sentiments and ethical dimensions of Roman life. The expansive four-volume set reflects the author's engagement with earlier historians while asserting his distinct narrative voice, emphasizing themes of virtue, fortune, and the responsibility of citizens in shaping history. Titus Livius, known as Livy, was born in 59 BCE in Patavium (modern Padua) and lived through a time of significant political upheaval in Rome. His experiences witnessing the rising tide of the Roman Empire and its complexities undoubtedly influenced his desire to document the past. Livy's affinity for history and moral philosophy is evident as he presents Rome's historical trajectory not merely as events but as a tapestry of human behavior, cautionary tales, and civic lessons for his contemporaries. This monumental work is highly recommended for both scholars and general readers, as it provides invaluable insights into the socio-political landscape of ancient Rome. Livy's balanced account encourages reflection on enduring themes of power, morality, and human ambition, making it a timeless resource for understanding political dynamics and moral philosophy.

Elections - A Very Short...

L. Sandy Maisel, Jennifer A. Yoder

Elections occur in all democracies and many nondemocratic regimes as well. They determine who will hold public office and who will have the power to govern. They connect citizens to those whom they choose to make decisions on their behalf and who regulate their behavior. This book looks comparatively at the key aspects of elections. In addition to describing types of electoral systems, it discusses the implications of the various systems for the administration of elections, voter participation, representation, government stability, and other factors. Where appropriate, it examines efforts to reform a nation's (or a sub-national entity's) system, exploring the impetus for reform and the effects of those reforms when implemented. 
 
 
 
L. Sandy Maisel and Jennifer A. Yoder lay out the variety of electoral systems in the broadest terms—single-member district plurality systems; proportional systems; and mixed systems. They discuss voting and the various electoral institutions used to implement the ways in which voting occurs and how votes are tabulated across electoral systems. They analyze the consequences of each system, first for the functioning of the democracy, and second for the electoral strategies politicians employ, closing with a discussion of reforms under consideration in a number of countries.

The First Advent in Palestine -...

Kelley Nikondeha

When we picture the first Advent, we see Mary and Joseph huddled by a manger. We picture Gabriel, magi, and shepherds tending their flocks. A shining star against a midnight sky. But this harmonized version has lifted the Advent story out of its context--those who experienced the first Advent had to travel through great darkness to reach the hope that shining star announced. Trusted scholar and community organizer Kelley Nikondeha takes us back, to where the landscape of Palestine is once again the geographic, socioeconomic, and political backdrop for the Advent story.
Reading the Advent narratives of Luke and Matthew anew, in their original context, changes so much about how we see the true story of resistance, abusive rulers and systems of oppression, and God coming to earth. In Luke, Rome and Caesar loom, and young Mary's strength and resolve shine brightly as we begin to truly understand what it meant for her to live in the tumultuous Galilee region. In Matthew, through Joseph's point of view, we see the brutality of Herod's rule and how the complexities of empire weighed heavily on the Holy Family. We bear witness to the economic hardship of Nazareth, Bethlehem, and the many villages in between--concerns about daily bread, crushing debt, land loss, and dispossession that ring a familiar echo to our modern ears. Throughout her explorations, Nikondeha features the stories of modern-day Palestinians, centering their voices to help us meet an Advent recognizable for today. This thought-provoking examination invites us into a season of discovery, one that is realistic and honest, and that still wonders at the goodness of God's grace.
