Summary

Livy's 'The History of Rome' is a comprehensive account of the rise of the Roman Empire, spanning from its legendary founding to the first-century BC. Written in Livy's eloquent prose, the work combines historical facts with vivid storytelling, offering readers a detailed insight into the political, social, and military dynamics of ancient Rome. Livy's narrative style mirrors that of a Roman historian, incorporating moral and rhetorical elements to captivate the reader. The inclusion of speeches and anecdotes adds authenticity to the historical events described. This complete edition in 4 volumes showcases Livy's meticulous research and dedication to preserving Rome's history. As a renowned Roman historian and contemporary of Augustus, Livy drew inspiration from the turbulent political climate of his era. His passion for Roman history and desire to educate future generations about the glory of Rome motivated him to undertake this monumental literary task. Livy's personal experiences and knowledge as a citizen of the Roman Republic also shaped his perspective on the events he chronicled. I highly recommend 'The History of Rome' to readers interested in ancient history, Roman civilization, and classical literature. Livy's masterful storytelling and historical accuracy make this work a must-read for anyone seeking to delve into the cultural richness and political intricacies of the Roman Empire.

    Abbreviated Life An - A Memoir

    A beautiful, startling, and candid memoir about growing up without boundaries, in which Ariel Leve recalls with candor and sensitivity the turbulent time she endured as the only child of an unstable poet for a mother and a beloved but largely absent father, and explores the consequences of a psychologically harrowing childhood as she seeks refuge from the past and recovers what was lost. 
    Ariel Leve grew up in Manhattan with an eccentric mother she describes as “a poet, an artist, a self-appointed troublemaker and attention seeker.” Leve learned to become her own parent, taking care of herself and her mother’s needs. There would be uncontrolled, impulsive rages followed with denial, disavowed responsibility, and then extreme outpourings of affection. How does a child learn to feel safe in this topsy-turvy world of conditional love? 
    Leve captures the chaos and lasting impact of a child’s life under siege and explores how the coping mechanisms she developed to survive later incapacitated her as an adult. There were material comforts, but no emotional safety, except for summer visits to her father’s home in South East Asia—an escape that was terminated after he attempted to gain custody. Following the death of a loving caretaker, a succession of replacements raised Leve—relationships which resulted in intense attachment and loss. It was not until decades later, when Leve moved to other side of the world, that she could begin to emancipate herself from the past. In a relationship with a man who has children, caring for them yields clarity of what was missing. 
    In telling her haunting story, Leve seeks to understand the effects of chronic psychological maltreatment on a child’s developing brain, and to discover how to build a life for herself that she never dreamed possible: An unabbreviated life.

    Do you want to connect with readers on a deeper level? 
    Do you want your books to stand out in a sea of content by being authentic and personal in your writing whatever the genre?  
    Are you interested in creative self-development? 
    If yes, Writing the Shadow is for you.  
    This is a book of my heart and it contains many personal stories — but this book is really about helping you reach readers with your words — and move to the next level in your writing.We all long to write boldly, without filters or fear.  
    To spin stories that capture the messy beauty of what it means to be human. Tales that lay bare the truth of living — darkness and all.  
    But something holds us back.  
    Whispers of “Who do you think you are?” and “You don’t have permission to write that.” Our own self-censorship and the judgment of others keep us from writing freely — and sometimes, from living fully. 
    But all great art taps into darkness, and your most compelling work emerges when you embrace your full humanity—both light and Shadow. 
    In Writing the Shadow, I’ll guide you on an intimate journey to explore the darkness and discover the gold lying hidden in its depths. Gold that may be the source of your best creative work in the years ahead. 
    The Shadow is calling. It’s time to turn your inner darkness into words. 
    “I love everything Joanna Penn does, but Writing the Shadow is the icing on the cake. Ms Penn has found the gold within the darkness and has lit a candle to show us the way.” Steven Pressfield, author of The War of Art

    AN IMPORTANT NEW BOOK ON HOW TO FIX AMERICA BY A POLITICAL OUTSIDER. 
    America is broken. America is divided. 80% of Americans believe the country is on the wrong track. And everything you need to know about the Divided States of America can be explained by two relentless forces: hyper-individualism and hyper-capitalism.  
    American Restraint explores how both hyper-individualism and hyper-capitalism are what is fundamentally ripping our country apart. Traditional solutions and status quo politicians can’t help us.  
    Patrick Trepanier is a powerful new voice addressing the real root causes and solutions for our divided country. 
    The first solution is in the Constitution…an Article V Convention of States. A Convention proposing three popular amendments: a balanced budget amendment, term limits for Congress, and limits to the power and jurisdiction of the federal government.   
    Then we need more “innovation and experimentation” by individual states to restrain the forces of hyper-individualism and hyper-capitalism. 
    American Restraint challenges decades of failed Democratic and Republican policies and calls for new pragmatic solutions that put the needs of children, families and communities first.   
    This groundbreaking new book also provides a framework to restore respect for religion, rebuild the middle class, restrain toxic consumerism, restore community trust, restrain the Wall Street Casino, restrain Big Tech’s control over our lives, reduce illegal competition for American jobs, promote resilience and service to help disadvantaged Americans. 
    American Restraint. The handbook to fix America.

    The Film "Braveheart" has it right on some points but does a bad job with historic precision with others, most likely because they're just attempting to dramatize a Hollywood film, not promoting dull precision. 
    Let's see what info we can learn from history about the real William Wallace. William Wallace was a Scottish knight. In order to comprehend the impact of that time's knight civilization and roles, we will discuss the idea itself. We will also discuss the brutal reign of Edward I of England, the sadistic murder of William Wallace (worse than you might think), and several other factors contributing to his capture, his resistance, and his following.
