Summary

Athens Legacy explores the profound impact of Athens on Western civilization, focusing on Athenian philosophy, the Olympic Games, and Athenian democracy. It argues that Athens uniquely blended intellectual inquiry, physical prowess, and civic engagement.

 
The book highlights how the Olympic Games were not just athletic competitions, but also religious and cultural events fostering a pan-Hellenic identity. Similarly, the evolution of Athenian democracy, while groundbreaking, also presented limitations, such as the exclusion of women from political life.

 
The book systematically progresses from pre-Socratic philosophers to the rise of Athenian democracy, then to the Olympic Games, analyzing the works of Plato and Aristotle, Athenian drama, and architecture.

 
By drawing on primary sources like Plato and Aristotle, along with archaeological findings, it provides a balanced assessment of Athens' enduring contribution.

 
The book culminates by tracing the influence of Athenian ideals on subsequent civilizations, examining both successes and failures in their adoption which makes it valuable to those interested in Philosophy, History World, and World History.

    Do you remember collecting shrapnel and listening to Children's Hour? Carrying gas masks or sharing your school with evacuees from the city? The 1940s was a decade of great challenge for everyone who lived through it. The hardships and fear created by a world war were immense. Britain's towns and cities were being bombed on an almost nightly basis, and many children faced the trauma of being parted from their parents and sent away to the country to live with complete strangers. For just over half of this decade the war continued, meaning food and clothing shortages became a way of life. But through it all, and afterwards, the simplicity of kids shone. From collecting bits of shot-down German aircraft to playing in bomb-strewn streets, kids made their own fun. Then there was the joy of the second half of the 1940s, when fathers came home and the magic of 'normal life' returned. 
     
    This trip down memory lane will take you through the most memorable and evocative experiences of growing up in the 1940s.

    An entertaining and insightful exploration of the American ex-religious 
     
     
     
    The United States is in the midst of a religious revolution. Or, perhaps it is better to say a non-religious revolution. Around a quarter of US adults now say they have no religion. The great majority of these religious "nones" also say that they used to belong to a religion but no longer do. These are the nonverts: think "converts," but from having religion to having none. There are currently about fifty-nine million of them in the United States. 
     
     
     
    Nonverts explores who they are, and why they joined the rising tide of the ex-religious. One of world's leading experts on contemporary atheism and nonreligiosity, sociologist and theologian Stephen Bullivant draws on dozens of interviews, original analysis of high-quality survey data, and a wealth of cutting-edge studies, to present an entertaining and insightful exploration of America's ex-religious landscape. Bullivant crisscrosses the country, talking to everyone from ex-Mormons in Utah to ex-Catholics in Pennsylvania, from ex-Evangelicals in Georgia to ex-Muslims in California, showing not only what they have in common but also how the traditions they left behind continue to shape them.

    A COSMIC CONUNDRUM—This astonishing book follows our ascendancy from just another hominin on the open African savannah to the alpha hegemon on Earth today endangering its entire future. Along the way, humans methodically outwitted their competition with phenomenal efficiency and indifference, to emerge in the modern 21st century as the linchpin of a major mass extinction of countless other lifeforms cohabiting their planet with them. The shredding of our fragile ecosphere by massive proliferation and monopolistic overconsumption of Earth’s precious resources by a single invasive species, along with the inexorable combustion of deadly fossil fuels to acquire the energy needed to sustain their profligate and lavish lifestyle, is threatening to drive H. sapiens itself into extinction within the next 300 years. This is the true story of that improbable adventure!...The Publishers
