Sinopse

Political Calendars explores the surprising influence of calendars on politics, demonstrating how they shape governance and policy. Governments strategically use calendars to time elections, legislative sessions, and national events, influencing political outcomes in ways we often overlook. For example, the timing of elections can significantly impact voter turnout and campaign strategies. The book reveals that calendars are not neutral; they are active instruments of power. Legislative agendas are often dictated by calendrical constraints like fiscal years, impacting which laws can be passed. National holidays also serve a political purpose, reinforcing narratives and mobilizing support. This book adopts a multidisciplinary approach, drawing from political science, history, and other fields to examine the ethical implications of using calendars as tools of power. Starting with the basics of political time and different calendar systems, Political Calendars progresses through electoral cycles, legislative agendas, and national events, offering a unique perspective on the temporal dimensions of power.

    The spot where the most famous manhunt in United States history came to a bloody end languishes in the litter-strewn median of a four-lane highway. There are no physical traces left of the Garrett farmhouse, where John Wilkes Booth died, and few historic footprints to be found at all in this unlikely place, a common right-of-way. The Garrett place is one of scores of sites on the East Coast that society cast aside, places of historic value left to the natural world as orphans of the American landscape. Orphaned Heritage: The East Coast's Disappearing History tells the story of the Atlantic seaboard's historic castaways and explores what we can learn from the ruin.

    Plutarch picks some of the most interesting Greek politicians and notable figures to write about in his Parallel Lives series, and Otho does not disappoint. From his beginning as an underling of famous emperor Nero, he loses his wife to him and is sent away to govern a town. After Nero, Otho begins to plot his overtaking of the throne. But when he finally gets it – and manages to lose over 40,000 men in battle – his ending is a little less noble.

    An entertaining and enlightening anthology of classical Greek and Roman writings on animals—and our vital relationships with them 
     
     
     
    How to Care about Animals is a fascinating menagerie of passages from classical literature about animals and the lives we share with them. Drawing on ancient writers from Aesop to Ovid, classicist and farmer M. D. Usher has gathered a healthy litter of selections that reveal some of the ways Greeks and Romans thought about everything from lions, bears, and wolves to birds, octopuses, and snails—and that might inspire us to rethink our own relationships with our fellow creatures. Presented in lively new translations, these pieces are filled with surprises—anticipating but also offering new perspectives on many of our current feelings and ideas about animals. 
     
     
     
    Here, Porphyry makes a compelling argument for vegetarianism and asserts that the just treatment of animals makes us better people; Pliny the Elder praises the virtuosity of songbirds and the virtuousness of elephants; Plutarch has one of Circe's pigs from the Odyssey make a serio-comic case for the dignity of the beasts of the field; Aristotle puts the study of animals on par with anthropology; we hear timeless Aesopian fables, including "The Hen That Laid the Golden Egg" and "The Fox and the Grapes"; and there is much, much more.
