Sinossi

In her groundbreaking work, 'A Vindication of the Rights of Woman,' Mary Wollstonecraft challenges the prevailing notions of the late 18th century that relegated women to subservient roles within society. Employing a rational and passionate literary style, Wollstonecraft articulates her plea for women'Äôs education and autonomy, arguing that the perceived inferiority of women is not inherent but rather a consequence of their lack of access to education. This pioneering text intertwines Enlightenment ideals of reason and individualism with a fierce critique of patriarchy, establishing a foundational argument for feminism that resonates through history and remains relevant today. Mary Wollstonecraft, often regarded as one of the first feminist philosophers, drew on her experiences as a governess and a writer to illuminate the barriers faced by women in her society. Her own struggles with gender-based limitations prompted her to advocate for women's rights fervently, showcasing her belief in the power of education as a transformative force. Wollstonecraft's personal history, marked by challenges and intellectual fervor, provided the impetus for her radical ideas that astonished and provoked her contemporaries. This pivotal text is highly recommended for readers seeking a profound understanding of feminist theory's origins and the historical context of women's rights. Wollstonecraft'Äôs powerful arguments will inspire and challenge modern audiences, making 'A Vindication of the Rights of Woman' an essential read for anyone interested in the evolution of gender equality and the struggle for human rights.

    The rise of the new far right has left the world grappling with a profound misunderstanding. While the spotlight often shines on the actions of charismatic leaders, the true peril lies elsewhere. Defeating these people will not stem the tide driving them forward. They are merely the embodiment of profound forces that are rarely understood. Propelled through the vast networks of social media and fueled by far-right influencers, enthralled by images of disaster and fantasies of doom, they have emerged from a reservoir of societal despair, fear, and isolation. Within this seething cauldron, we witness not only the surge of far-right political movements but also the sparks of individual and collective violence against perceived enemies, from 'lone wolf' killers to terrifying pogroms. Should a new fascism emerge, it will coalesce from these very elements. This is disaster nationalism. 
 
 
 
Richard Seymour delves deep into this alarming development in world politics, dissecting its roots, its influencers, and the threats it poses. With meticulous analysis and compelling storytelling, Seymour offers a stark warning. The battle against disaster nationalism is not just political; it is a struggle for our collective soul and the future of civilization itself. Unless we understand the deeper forces propelling the far-right resurgence, we have little chance of stopping it.

    A study of how Francis Marion delivered the leadership and strategy to defeat the British in the South Carolina Lowcountry campaigns. “Dougherty and Smith have produced an excellent study of Marion as a commander for history enthusiasts, their work deserves to garner equal attention from those in the business community, business schools, public sector management, and the military.”—Journal of the American RevolutionFrancis Marion is certainly the stuff of which legends are made. His nickname “The Swamp Fox,” bestowed upon him by one of his fiercest enemies, captures his wily approach to battle. The embellishment of his exploits in Parson Weems’s early biography makes separation of fact from fiction difficult, but certainly represents the awe, loyalty, and attraction he produced in those around him. His legacy is enshrined in the fact that more places in the United States have been named after him than any other soldier of the American Revolution, with the sole exception of George Washington. Even today’s U.S. Army Rangers include Marion as one of their formative heroes. Surely much about leadership can be learned from such an intriguing personality.Leading like the Swamp Fox: The Leadership Lessons of Francis Marion unlocks those lessons. Divided into three parts, the book first presents the historical background and context necessary to appreciate Marion’s situation. The main body of the book then examines Marion’s leadership across eight categories, with several vignettes demonstrating Marion’s competency. The summary then captures some conclusions about how leadership impacted the American Revolution in the South Carolina Lowcountry. An appendix provides some information about how the reader might explore those physical reminders of Marion and his exploits that exist today. Readers interested in history or leadership, or both, will all find something for them in Leading like the Swamp Fox.“Useful to students of leadership, or as an introduction to the Southern Campaign and to Marion…. [A] good treatise on leadership, and its overview of the Southern Campaign is an ideal introduction to the topic.”—Journal of Military History

In How Fascism Works (2018), Jason Stanley explores how fascist politicians reach power, the conditions they thrive in, and the beliefs that most fascist movements are built upon. Stanley examines how fascism distorts nationalism, employs propaganda and lies, demeans education, and preys on minorities. Fascist movements may take different nationalist forms, but they share the same goal: to turn a liberty-focused nation into one where they make all the rules.
