Summary

Ancient Conspiracies explores the hidden world of political intrigue in ancient history, examining how secret alliances and covert actions shaped empires. The book demonstrates how conspiracies were integral to the political landscape, challenging conventional views that emphasize open warfare and diplomacy. For instance, the Pisonian conspiracy against Nero reveals the ruthless pursuit of power, while the assassination of Julius Caesar underscores the fragility of political stability. The book investigates how conspiracies were conceived, organized, and executed, and assesses their lasting impact on civilizations. By analyzing case studies like potential plots within Egyptian dynasties, the book uncovers recurring patterns of human behavior and political maneuvering.

 
It progresses by first introducing the core concepts of conspiracy, then presenting case studies across different regions and eras, and finally analyzing the long-term consequences. Offering a fresh perspective on ancient history, Ancient Conspiracies provides valuable insights into the enduring nature of political intrigue. By drawing connections to psychology, sociology, and political science, the book offers a holistic understanding of conspiracies and their relevance to contemporary political dynamics. This systematic, comparative analysis encourages readers to critically analyze historical narratives and understand the complexities of political power.

Being Black in America's Schools...

Brian Rashad Fuller

In a polarizing and racially divided America, what do children of color learn about themselves before they even go to school? How do they see themselves and is that image only exacerbated by spending twelve years in a public education system that perpetuates negative stereotypes? Brian Rashad Fuller personally knows that the impact of low expectations can be devastating. He aims to make a difference in this humanizing and very personal portrayal of what it means to be Black in America's schools. 
 
 
 
As a Black man who has spent his life as a student and an educator, Brian shares his own story of navigating the world, overcoming his family struggles, and eventually entering an educational system that he believes is inherently racist, damaging, and disserving. He exposes the challenges Black students face and offers a firsthand account of the emotional and psychological impact made by teachers, administrators, policies, practices, lessons, and student interactions. Most Americans are looking for answers on how to improve our education system—as illustrated by the critical race theory debate—but have not fully understood the lived Black experience, until now. With powerful insight into a thoroughly American institution, Brian offers present-day solutions, and liberating hope, for a centuries-long issue, as well as a galvanizing and radical step forward.

Beast Beneath the Surface the...

Steven J. Pickering

The summer of 1916 had come on like a furnace. June had been blistering, the kind of month that drove city dwellers out of their brick apartments in Philadelphia and New York, down toward the promise of breezes off the Atlantic Ocean, in Jersey shore towns like Beach Haven, Spring Lake, Asbury Park, and Matawan... But beneath the glittering surface, the sea held its own dark relentless man-eating secret.
