Summary

Probation Versus Incarceration explores the pivotal question of how sentencing decisions are made in the American legal system, specifically examining the choice between probation and incarceration for convicted offenders. This book offers a detailed look into the factors influencing these decisions, highlighting that sentencing should balance individual rehabilitation potential with community safety. For example, it challenges the automatic assumption that incarceration is always the best response to criminal behavior, presenting probation as a potentially more effective, cost-efficient alternative when implemented correctly.

 
The book progresses by first defining and contrasting probation and incarceration, detailing probation conditions like regular meetings and drug testing, versus the realities of prison life. It then analyzes legal and extralegal factors influencing sentencing, such as case law, victim impact statements, and defendant backgrounds.

 
Finally, it examines the effectiveness of each approach in reducing recidivism and promoting reintegration. This book aims to move past simplistic "tough on crime" rhetoric, advocating for evidence-based policies and a more nuanced understanding of the long-term consequences associated with different penalties within the criminal justice system.

Menexenus

Plato

"Menexenus" is a dialogue written by Plato in which Socrates delivers a funeral oration in honor of Athenian soldiers who have died in battle. The dialogue takes place between Socrates and Menexenus, a young man who has just returned from the funeral of his own father. In his oration, Socrates uses the occasion to criticize the way in which Athenian leaders often exploit the deaths of soldiers for their own political gain. He argues that true patriotism and heroism are not based on fame or glory, but on the love of one's country and fellow citizens. Overall, "Menexenus" is a thought-provoking exploration of rhetoric, patriotism, and political manipulation, making it a valuable addition to the philosophical literature of ancient Greece. Read in English, unabridged.

The Confessions of Fiona -...

Steve Blamires

The Confessions of Fiona by Steve Blamires details the beliefs, stories, and tenets of the Sidhe as revealed by one of the Sidhe, Fiona Macleod. For twelve years, this faery woman laid out the entire mythology, pantheon, and rituals of the faeries themselves. This volume reveals, expands, and explains what we can learn from her. The Secrets of the Sidhe Revealed! In 1893, the Scottish writer and mystic William Sharp (1855–1905) started writing under the name Fiona McLeod. The name Fiona did not exist before then, at least not in our world. For the following twelve years, Fiona wrote profusely of her own tradition; that is, the mythology and deities that the faeries recognize. None of these myths, legends, gods, or goddesses were known to humans prior to Fiona’s revelations. Steve Blamires presents those concepts in his new book, The Confessions of Fiona. He has studied the esoteric faery tradition for thirty years. He presents a unique ritual system; previously unknown myths, legends, and gods and goddesses, offering insight to the modern researcher of this fascinating nonhuman magical body of work. Woven into the legends that the faeries share is a whole ritual magical tradition that humans can emulate with a basic knowledge of the Western magical tradition, the four festivals, the four magical tools, and what has come to be known as pathworking. But they are all significantly different from our human perspective. Faeries are large, shockingly powerful, and, at times, cruel and dangerous. Steve shows how and when these mighty beings of ancient times were literally shrunken to become the Tinkerbells of popular imagery. Because of this important change of perspective, Steve includes in this book an in-depth look at the faery god Dalua—a truly dark, dangerous god but a necessary one. To help readers access more of Fiona McLeod’s writings and teachings, Steve has included an appendix detailing all her essential works and scores of relevant direct quotations throughout the book.
