Synopsis

Roman Senate Authority explores the Roman Senate's pivotal, yet often debated, role in Roman governance, from the late Republic to the late Empire. This book investigates whether the Senate was a genuine partner in power with the emperors or merely a symbolic entity. It examines the Senate's internal procedures, legislative and judicial capacities, and its complex relationship with the emperor, revealing the evolving power dynamics within the Roman state. The book illuminates how the Senate, despite the rise of imperial authority, maintained significant influence, shaped by factors like the prevailing political climate and the Senate's own assertiveness.

The book argues against simplistic views of imperial dominance by presenting a more nuanced depiction of shared power. For example, the Senate's ability to enact laws and administer provinces demonstrates its active role in governance. By analyzing senatorial decrees and historical events, the book shows how the Senate cooperated with, and at times subtly manipulated, emperors. Beginning with the Senate's composition and internal procedures, the book progresses to its legislative and judicial functions, ultimately assessing its gradual decline and legacy.

Utilizing primary sources like senatorial decrees and writings from historians like Tacitus, alongside modern scholarship, the book offers a unique perspective on the Senate as an active agent in Roman history. This analysis provides insights into political institutions, power dynamics, and checks and balances, relevant not only to students of Roman history, political science, and legal history but also to those interested in the broader implications for modern political systems.

You Can't Kill a Man Because of...

Brad Snyder

The story of a young, Black Communist Party organizer wrongly convicted of attempting to incite insurrection and the landmark case that made him a civil rights hero. 
 
 
 
Decades before the impeachment of an American president for a similar offense, Angelo Herndon was charged under Georgia law with "attempting to incite insurrection"—a crime punishable by death. In 1932, the eighteen-year-old Black Communist Party organizer was arrested and had his room illegally searched and his radical literature seized. Charged under an old slave insurrection statute, Herndon was convicted by an all-white jury and sentenced to eighteen to twenty years on a chain gang. 
 
 
 
A legal odyssey of Herndon's narrow escape from certain death because of his unpopular political beliefs, You Can't Kill a Man Because of the Books He Reads explores Herndon's journey from Alabama coal miner to Communist Party organizer to Harlem hero and beyond. Brad Snyder tells the stories of the diverse coalition of people who rallied to his cause and who twice appealed his case to the US Supreme Court. They forced the Court to recognize free speech and peaceable assembly as essential rights in a democracy—a landmark decision in 1930s America as well as today.

The Primal Scream - Primal...

Arthur Janov

In the mid-1960s, the course of Arthur Janov's professional life as a psychotherapist changed in a single day. During a therapy session, Dr. Janov heard, "an eerie scream welling up from the depths of a young man who was lying on the floor." Janov came to believe that this scream was the product of some unconscious, intangible wound that the patient was unable to resolve— an event the psychotherapist coined " Primal Pain." Janov subsequently devoted his professional life to the investigation of that underlying pain and the development of a precise, scientific therapy that could mitigate its lifelong effects. First published in 1970, The Primal Scream challenged all existing forms of therapy of its time by presenting a new approach to psychotherapy— an approach based on Janov's theory that neurosis is caused by the repressed pain of childhood trauma.

The Time to Act Is Now

Carola Rakete, Anne Weiss

»We are at a turning point in human history. To stop climate breakdown and extinction,environmental movements need to be actively anti-racist and join struggles for social justice.«Carola RacketeIn 2019, Carola Rackete became publicly known for docking the sea rescue vessel »Sea-Watch 3« in Italy and thereby challenging a nationaldecree that contradicted internationalobligations to engage in sea rescue. Due to this act of civil disobedience and her public confrontation of the Italian far right and the structural racism of the EU's Fortress Europe policy, Carola became a powerful symbol for people seeking to take practical action for a world based on justice and equality. Carola has worked in the polar regions since 2011 and holds a degree in natural resources management. Consequently, her book shows how the ecological crises we are facing today are rooted in social and political power structures. The book details moments of the rescue mission but also connects the dots to forced migration and the urgency of our environmental predicament. Overall, it is a call to engage and act to become part of initiatives and movements struggling for social and environmental justice.This version of the book includes a new afterword focused on centring justice and human rights in nature and biodiversity conservation-a topic often overlooked by climate activists in the Global North.The authors will donate the revenue from this book to the association borderline-europe-Menschenrechte ohne Grenzen e.V. in order to launch a new criminalization fund. The money from this fund will be used to support refugees who are criminalized in the EU for fleeingtoEurope.Acknowledgements: This audio book has been made possible by the voluntary contributions of many people, most notably Marysa Abbas who is the voiceover artist of this audioproject, Diane Hielscher who provided her studio "LifeX Lab-wir machen Medien für eine neue Welt" for the recordings and production, Céline Keller who contributed the cover art, Alfio Furnari from Borderline-Europe who managed administration and contracts, the management of liberaudio as well as Anne Weiss who got the projectrolling and connected everyone.
