Sinopsis

Policy Implementation explores why well-intentioned government policies often fail by examining the journey from policy creation to enforceable law. It scrutinizes government agencies and the challenges they face, offering insights into how policies are translated into action. The book highlights the bureaucratic processes involved, such as potential bottlenecks and conflicting mandates within agencies, and external factors like public opinion and interest groups that can either help or hinder policy objectives. Understanding these elements is crucial, as neglecting any can lead to policy failures; for example, a policy might be well-designed but fail due to lack of public support.

 
The book progresses logically, starting with foundational concepts and theoretical frameworks. It then delves into case studies from areas like environmental regulation and healthcare reform, analyzing successes and failures. By integrating empirical research, government documents, and expert opinions, the book provides a nuanced understanding of implementation challenges. One key insight is how economic incentives and social norms can influence policy compliance, showcasing the interdisciplinary nature of policy implementation. This approach helps policymakers and students understand the intricacies of governance.

 
Ultimately, Policy Implementation offers practical recommendations for improving policy implementation strategies, enhancing stakeholder engagement, and mitigating unintended consequences. It stands out by not only describing problems but also providing concrete solutions, making it valuable for students, practitioners, and informed citizens interested in the inner workings of government.

Capitalism Is Dead Long Live...

A.A. Castor

The era of capitalist uncertainty is over—structured success is the future.
For generations, society has been trapped in the illusion that free markets create opportunity, individual ambition leads to wealth, and financial security can be achieved through hard work and risk-taking. But history has proven otherwise—capitalism breeds instability, economic collapse, and an ever-widening wealth gap.
This book exposes the myth of self-made success, the failures of uncontrolled markets, and the need for a structured economic system where prosperity is not a gamble but a guarantee. A.A. Castor presents a bold and direct manifesto for transitioning into a state-controlled model of wealth, where competition is eliminated, financial uncertainty is erased, and every citizen is assigned an economic role designed for national success.

✔ How controlled affirmations rewire the mind for discipline, loyalty, and permanent prosperity.
The time for free-market illusions is over. The future is planned, structured, and secured. This book is a directive—not a debate. Those who follow the new road to wealth will thrive. Those who resist will be left behind.

Kill Caesar! - Assassination in...

Rose Mary Sheldon

“Why were Rome’s first emperors—the good, the bad, and the ugly—so vulnerable to conspiracies and assassination? . . . an expert analysis . . . compelling.” —Adrienne Mayor, author of The Poison King: The Life and Legend of Mithradates and Rome’s Deadliest Enemy Exploring the history of internal security under the first Roman dynasty, this groundbreaking book answers the enduring question: If there were 9,000 men guarding the emperor, how were three-quarters of Rome’s leaders assassinated? Rose Mary Sheldon traces the evolution of internal security mechanisms under the Julio-Claudians, evaluating the system that Augustus first developed to protect the imperial family and the stability of his dynasty. Yet in spite of the intensive precautions taken, there were multiple attempts on his life. Like all emperors, Augustus had a number of competing constituencies—the senate, the army, his extended family, the provincials, and the populace of Rome—but were they all equally threatening? Indeed, the biggest threat would come from those closest to the emperor—his family and the aristocracy. Even Roman imperial women were deeply involved in instigating regime change. By the fourth emperor, Caligula, the Praetorian Guards were already participating in assassinations, and the army too was becoming more politicized. Sheldon weighs the accuracy of ancient sources: Does the image of the emperor presented to us represent reality or what the people who killed him wanted us to think? Were Caligula and Nero really crazy, or did senatorial historians portray them that way to justify their murder? Was Claudius really the fool found drooling behind a curtain and made emperor, or was he in on the plot from the beginning? These and other fascinating questions are answered as Sheldon concludes that the repeated problem of “killing Caesar” reflected the empire’s larger dynamics and turmoil.

James Hutton - The Genius of Time

Ray Perman

Discover one of the Scottish Enlightenment's brightest stars.
Among the giants of the Scottish Enlightenment, the name of James Hutton is overlooked. Yet his Theory of the Earth revolutionised the way we think about how our planet was formed and laid the foundation for the science of geology. He was in his time a doctor, a farmer, a businessman, a chemist yet he described himself as a philosopher – a seeker after truth.
A friend of James Watt and of Adam Smith, he was a polymath, publishing papers on subjects as diverse as why it rains and a theory of language. He shunned status and official position, refused to give up his strong Scots accent and vulgar speech, loved jokes and could start a party in an empty room.
Yet much of his story remains a mystery. His papers, library and mineral collection all vanished after his death and only a handful of letters survive. He seemed to be a lifelong bachelor, yet had a secret son whom he supported throughout his life.
This book uses new sources and original documents to bring Hutton the man to life and places him firmly among the geniuses of his time.

Jutes The: The History of the...

Editors Charles River

Naturally, when the history of medieval England is discussed, the Angles and Saxons are usually mentioned first. After all, the name “England” does mean “land of the Angles” and the English language is derived from the ancient Germanic language the Angles spoke. The Saxons are also usually mentioned since they became the dominant tribe in England by the 9th century, incorporating the Angles into their new version of Britain. The ancient Britons, who were a Celtic people, are often mentioned, as are the Scots-Irish and the Picts who lived in what is today Scotland. Thus, the Jutes are overlooked among the early inhabitants of Britain, though not for any lack of accomplishments or influence on their part. The Jutes first came to England in a wave of migration with the Angles and Saxons in the 5th century and established one of the earliest Germanic kingdoms on the island. The Jutes also played a major role in Britain’s adoption of Christianity and the island’s evolution from one of many warring tribes and kingdoms to being a unified kingdom that provided the foundation for the medieval and modern British nation-state.  
	Either way, once the Jutes landed in England, they immediately distinguished themselves from the Angles and Saxons by carving out kingdoms in the regions of Kent and the Isle of Wight. From these two locations, the Jutes not only carried on many of their pre-migration cultural traditions but also adopted some of the new, unifying European traditions, particularly Christianity. The Jutes did not accept Christianity overnight, and even after accepting the influence of the Roman Catholic Church, they continued to lead warrior lifestyles, but they nonetheless became major defenders of the Catholic faith and the most holy site in Christian England, Canterbury, was located in the Kingdom of Kent.
