Beschreibung

Marcus Aurelius' "Meditations" is a profound exploration of Stoic philosophy, presented in the form of personal reflections and philosophical musings. Composed during his military campaigns in the 2nd century AD, this seminal work combines a deeply introspective style with vivid observations of the human condition. Aurelius grapples with themes such as duty, virtue, the transient nature of life, and the importance of reason, making his thoughts both timeless and universally relatable. The text is characterized by its direct, unembellished prose, echoing the Stoic principles of clarity and simplicity, and reflects a rich philosophical context that intertwines personal and communal ethics, emphasizing the value of resilience in the face of adversity. Marcus Aurelius, a Roman Emperor and a philosopher, is often revered as the embodiment of Stoic ideals. His life was marked by challenges, including wars and personal losses, which catalyzed his writings in "Meditations." His unique perspective as a ruler navigating the complexities of power and morality lends a remarkable authenticity to his thoughts. Aurelius' philosophy is not merely theoretical; it is rooted in the realities of his existence and offers insights into maintaining equanimity amid chaos. This book is a timeless guide for anyone seeking wisdom and guidance in navigating the complexities of life. Readers will find inspiration in Aurelius' reflections, encouraging them to pursue virtue and mindfulness in their personal journeys. "Meditations" is not just a philosophical treatise but a companion for those striving to cultivate resilience and inner peace in a turbulent world.

    'I love this book' Fern Britton
    'Laugh out loud funny' Kate Bottley
    An explosive satire of gender stereotypes that flips patriarchy on its head to highlight sexist double standards.
    Exploring subjects like work and comedy, history and sport, the beauty industry and domesticity, anonymous author Man Who Has It All imagines a world in which men are bombarded with the same stereotypical bullshit as women. What if men's T-shirts were emblazoned with slogans encouraging them to be smiley, positive and kind? What if we laughed at jokes about fathers-in-law, male drivers and middle-class men of a certain age? What if men's history was a niche topic? Behind the jokes about crazy cat gentlemen, testerical men and the twenty-four-hour moustache, lies a deeper, darker message about language, power and control.
    Smart and provocative, Man Who Has It All shines a powerful light on the prejudice ingrained in our society. Told through fictionalised scenarios and wider cultural analysis, this is a feminist handbook that will arm you against the patriarchy.

    Originally published in 1885. 
    The Prehistoric World; or, Vanished Races, by E.A. Allen 
    We are told that in Tartary, each native makes the iron he needs, just as every household would make its own bread. The furnace is a very small affair, not holding more than three pounds of ore. This is filled with ore and charcoal. The bellows are used, and after the charcoal is all burned out, the result is a small piece of spongy iron, which needs only repeated heating and hammering to be made serviceable. 
    Primitive furnaces, on a somewhat larger scale, have been discovered in Switzerland. Here, the excavation was made in the side of a hill, and a rude, dome-shaped chimney built over it. We must not forget that our task ends where the historian's begins. The use of iron did not long precede history, so we have but little to describe as to the customs and manners of life during the prehistoric Iron Age.

    For more than half a century, James Hamilton has been an active participant and an inside observer of some of the most consequential moments in modern US history. He has been involved in investigations concerning Watergate, the Kennedy assassination, "Debategate," the Keating Five, the Clinton impeachment, Vince Foster's suicide, the Valerie Plame affair, Benghazi, and the Major League Baseball steroids scandal. 
     
     
     
    Advocate discusses the travails of prominent politicians and other well-known individuals, focusing particularly on high-profile congressional and other investigations. Credited with developing the modern system for vetting Democratic vice-presidential candidates, Hamilton recounts his extensive vetting of vice-presidential, cabinet, and Supreme Court candidates—including Joe Biden, John Edwards, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg. 
     
     
     
    Much more than a memoir from a seasoned lawyer, Advocate is a richly detailed history of some of the most sensational and controversial events in Washington politics over the past fifty years. By sharing information and insights known only to him, Hamilton fills in the gaps of historical events while advising the public on lessons that can be learned from the past. Anyone interested in the uniquely American intermingling of law and politics will find this an engaging book.
