  “I am the wisest man alive, for I know one thing, and that is that I know nothing.” 
  The Republic, a pioneering work of political philosophy, is a dialogue that does not feature Plato directly as at the heart is Socrates – his teacher. Even though the conversations between Socrates and Athenians as well as foreigners take place thousands of years ago, the questions Plato addresses in the volume are far from archaic. Should men and women have equal rights? Should rulers be responsible for the well-being of their citizens and the healthcare system in general? Is it ever acceptable to lie, especially if it is a so-called ‘noble lie’? And of course, how far can we stretch social mobility? Although many of Plato’s ideas are utopian and will be regarded as immensely positive aspirations by contemporary society, some conclusions drawn by the thinker might arouse our questioning or even disdain. In particular, Plato argues that censorship can underpin the citizens’ goodness and orderly life of the whole community – an affirmation that is unlikely to be embraced by modern-day democracies. 
  Because the philosopher prefers to construct an imaginary city in order to regard his ideas, his political ruminations can be read with a pragmatic mind but also for its artistic richness and literary thrill as Plato does not shy away from metaphors and allegories. The text is one of the most studied and referenced after the Bible and akin to the Holy text it does not have to be read in a single sitting but rather carefully revised and meditated upon to grasp its nuances and their applicability to our modern lives. It is an insight into the history of human civilization and the functionings of an individual within society – the read that is likely to be worthwhile for an advanced bibliophile and casual reader alike.

  Fifty years transformed America. In the Progressive Era, an industrial giant awakened, as did the conscience of a nation. 
  The Progressive Era, a time of social, political, and economic reform in the United States, spanned the years 1877 to 1929—the end of the Civil War to the beginning of the Great Depression. In those decades, the rural way of life was replaced by the siren call of teeming cities filled with new immigrants, agitators, and unruly women. 
  The period saw the rise of major reform movements, such as women’s suffrage, Prohibition, and the fight for child labor laws. The Progressives were a diverse group of people who wanted to use the government’s powers to improve society. 
  Inspired by the challenges of rising poverty, inequality, and corruption in government, the Progressives saw democracy as a tool to achieve their goals and worked to increase participation in the political process. Regarded as visionaries by some and troublemakers by others, the Progressives dragged America into the modern age. 
  This captivating guide tells the story of an era that began in the days of horse-drawn carriage and rail lines and ended with the mass production of the Ford Model T and manned flights in crude but thrilling airplanes. It explores the major reform movements of the age and the people who led them, tracing the story of the transformation of American politics and government. 
  Here is just a peek at what you will learn in the audiobook:The effects of the Industrial Revolution on the American economyThe accumulation of massive wealth by robber baronsThe plight of immigrants in American cities and factoriesThe shocking revelations of muckraking journalistsThe rise of the labor movement

  Memory and Hindsight Distortions...

  This book contains these topics: 
  - The Hindsight Bias: Hindsight bias, often referred to as the "knew-it-all-along" effect, is the cognitive phenomenon in which people perceive past events as having been more predictable than they actually were. After an event has occurred, individuals tend to believe they foresaw the outcome, even though there was no reasonable way to predict it at the time. This bias can distort our memories, judgments, and perceptions, leading us to think that we knew the outcome of a situation from the very beginning, even though the reality is quite different. 
  - The Mere Exposure Effect: The Mere Exposure Effect is a psychological phenomenon where repeated exposure to a stimulus leads to an increased preference for that stimulus. This effect occurs without any active engagement or deep processing from the individual. Simply put, the more we encounter something, the more likely we are to develop a liking for it, even if we don’t consciously realize why. This effect can apply to a wide range of stimuli, from people and objects to sounds, images, and even ideas. The central principle behind this concept is that familiarity breeds fondness.
