Summary

Napoleon became a symbol of the French Revolution and the equality of men, exemplifying how superior military strategy and cunningness can transform an ordinary man into an emperor. The emperor later became a symbol of a cold tyrant, willing to sacrifice thousands of lives on the whim of a quick reactive decision.

This edition includes Napoleon's works on strategy, his political and military writings, the memoirs of his closest friends, and biographies of the ruler.

    Zeno of Elea, a philosopher from ancient Greece, is best known for his paradoxes, which have intrigued thinkers for over two millennia. These paradoxes, particularly those dealing with motion, challenge fundamental concepts of space, time, and the nature of infinity. While Zeno's ideas emerged within the context of ancient philosophical debates, their relevance persists today in various fields of study, from physics to mathematics and philosophy. 
    One of the most striking aspects of Zeno's paradoxes is their ability to question assumptions that many take for granted. The Paradox of Achilles and the Tortoise, for example, suggests that a faster runner (Achilles) could never overtake a slower one (the tortoise) if the tortoise has a head start. At first glance, this seems absurd, as we know that Achilles would inevitably pass the tortoise in a real race. However, Zeno’s argument raises deeper questions about how we understand infinite divisions in space and time. Today, this paradox invites reflection on the nature of infinity, a concept that remains central in modern mathematics and the study of calculus. 
    Zeno’s paradoxes also raise critical questions about the nature of motion itself. His Arrow Paradox, for instance, claims that an arrow in flight is always at rest at any given moment in time, suggesting that motion is an illusion. While this may seem like a mere abstract thought experiment, it has significant implications for how we perceive the passage of time and the continuum of motion. In modern physics, the concept of time and motion is constantly reexamined, especially in the context of relativity theory, where time can bend and stretch depending on an object's velocity and position in space. Zeno’s paradoxes, thus, offer an early philosophical precursor to these scientific discussions.

    *Perfect for ages 7-10 
    In Charles River Editors’ History for Kids series, your children can learn about history’s most important people and events in an easy, entertaining, and educational way. Pictures help bring the story to life, and the concise but comprehensive book will keep your kid’s attention all the way to the end. 
    It is the most fabled and storied journey in American history. From 1804-1806, the first expedition across the North American continent was commissioned by President Thomas Jefferson, who had recently bought a vast swath of territory from France. Though he knew he had bought a huge amount of land, Jefferson wasn’t entirely sure of what he had bought, so he asked a team led by Meriwether Lewis and William Clark to traverse the continent until they reached the Pacific, studying everything from the ecology to geography along the way to get an understanding of the country’s new region. 
    Lewis and Clark would find far more than they bargained for. The 33 members who made the trip came into contact with about two dozen Native American tribes, many of whom helped the men survive the journey. Though they suffered deaths on their way west, the group ultimately reached the Pacific coast and got back to St. Louis in 1806, having drawn up nearly 150 maps and giving America a good idea of much of what lay west. 
    As a young woman who was married to a French trapper from Quebec, Sacagawea happened to be in the right place at the right time for the legendary Lewis and Clark expedition, which set off for the Pacific coast after President Thomas Jefferson negotiated the Louisiana Purchase with France. The young Shoshone girl acted as a guide and interpreter for the expedition, helping it safely travel thousands of miles west from North Dakota to the Pacific over unfamiliar ground and amongst unfamiliar peoples. Put simply, the expedition could not have succeeded without her.
