Beschreibung

Livy's "The History of Rome" (Volumes 1-4) offers a sweeping narrative that chronicles the rise and fall of Rome from its legendary foundation through the early republic. Written in a rich, eloquent Latin prose, Livy's work is characterized by its moral reflection and engaging storytelling, drawing on both historical and mythological elements. His vivid descriptions and detailed accounts invite readers into the heart of Roman civilization, providing insights into its political, social, and military evolution while situating the narrative within the broader framework of Mediterranean history and Roman values. Titus Livius, known as Livy, was born in 59 BCE in Patavium (modern Padua, Italy). His life coincided with the turbulent transition from the Roman Republic to the Empire, experiences that profoundly influenced his perspective. Writing during the reign of Emperor Augustus, Livy sought to instill a sense of Roman identity and virtue amidst the backdrop of political upheaval, reflecting both nostalgia for the Republic's values and an understanding of contemporary shifts. This monumental work is essential for readers interested in classical history and the foundations of Western civilization. Livy's eloquent prose and keen analytical insights not only entertain but also provoke deep reflections on human nature and governance. "The History of Rome" remains a vital source for scholars and enthusiasts alike, illuminating the struggles and triumphs of one of history's greatest civilizations.

    Sexuality and Prison Emotional...

    How do the 60,000 people incarcerated in France experience their sexuality? If it seems unthinkable today not to care for and feed prisoners, it will no doubt seem incomprehensible that the prison of the 21st century has not been able to integrate respect for the right to intimacy as an essential element of human dignity. The deprivation and control of sexual relations in prison represents an additional punishment for prisoners and their families, who feel the injustice of it all.
    An ambitious study was needed to go beyond stereotypes, particularly when it comes to prostitution, rape and homosexuality within prison walls. In prison, it's hard to avoid regression to a solitary, pornographic sexuality. Marital sexuality is furtive and humiliating, stolen from the gaze of prison guards. A general situation that runs counter to the State's stated ambitions in terms of rehabilitation and the fight against recidivism.
    This groundbreaking sociological document is also a fascinating human investigation. Sixty men and women detained in France were interviewed on a regular basis. Testimonies were gathered from several foreign countries. The author was also able to interview prison and medical-social staff. He then questions the nature and use of confinement, putting it into perspective with a justice system that is all too often misunderstood.

    The paradox of poverty amidst plenty has plagued the United States throughout the twenty-first century—why should the wealthiest country in the world also have the highest rates of poverty among the industrialized nations?  Based on his decades-long research and scholarship, one of the nation's leading authorities provides the answer. In The Poverty Paradox, Mark Robert Rank develops his unique perspective for understanding this puzzle. 
     
     
     
    The approach is what he has defined over the years as structural vulnerability. Central to this new way of thinking is the distinction between those who lose out at the economic game versus why the game produces losers in the first place. Americans experiencing poverty tend to have certain characteristics placing them at a greater risk of impoverishment. Yet poverty results not from these factors, but rather from a lack of sufficient opportunities in society. In particular, the shortage of decent paying jobs and a strong safety net are paramount. 
     
     
     
    Based upon this understanding, Rank goes on to detail a variety of strategies and programs to effectively alleviate poverty in the future. The Poverty Paradox represents a game changing examination of poverty and inequality. It provides the essential blueprint for finally combatting this economic injustice in the years ahead.
