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.

    Today the Space Race is widely viewed poignantly and fondly as a race to the Moon that culminated with Apollo 11 “winning” the Race for the United States. In fact, it encompassed a much broader range of competition between the Soviet Union and the United States that affected everything from military technology to successfully launching satellites that could land on Mars or orbit other planets in the Solar System. Moreover, the notion that America “won” the Space Race at the end of the 1960s overlooks just how competitive the Space Race actually was in launching people into orbit, as well as the major contributions the Space Race influenced in leading to today’s International Space Station and continued space exploration. 
    The Apollo space program is the most famous and celebrated in American history, but the first successful landing of men on the Moon during Apollo 11 had complicated roots dating back over a decade. Landing on the Moon presented an ideal goal all on its own, but the government’s urgency in designing the Apollo program was actually brought about by the Soviet Union, which spent much of the 1950s leaving the United States in its dust (and rocket fuel). In 1957, at a time when people were concerned about communism and nuclear war, many Americans were dismayed by news that the Soviet Union was successfully launching satellites into orbit. 
    Throughout the 1960s, NASA would spend tens of billions on missions to the Moon, the most expensive peacetime program in American history to that point, and Apollo was only made possible by the tests conducted through earlier missions. Of course, by the time it was all done, Americans sure felt the cost was worth it as they watched the first live shots of astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walking on the Moon. As he left his first footprint on the Moon, Armstrong transmitted one of the 20th century’s most famous phrases: “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.”

    Spies and Lies a groundbreaking exposé of elite influence operations by China's little-known Ministry of State Security. Revealing for the first time how the Chinese Communist Party has tasked its spies to deceive the world, it challenges the conventional account of China's past, present, and future. 
     
     
     
    Mere years ago, Western governments chose to cooperate with China in the hope that it would liberalize, setting aside concerns about human rights abuses, totalitarian ambitions, and espionage. But the axiom of China's 'peaceful rise' has been fundamentally challenged by the Chinese Communist Party's authoritarian behavior under Xi Jinping. How did we get it wrong for so long? 
     
     
     
    Spies and Lies pierces the Ministry of State Security's walls of secrecy and reveals how agents of the Chinese Communist Party have spent decades manipulating the West's attitudes—from an Australian prime minister to the US Congress, prominent think tanks, and the FBI—about China's rise. Through interviews with defectors and intelligence officers, classified Chinese intelligence documents, and original investigations, the book unmasks dozens of active Chinese intelligence officers along with global MSS fronts, including travel agencies, writers' associations, publishing houses, alumni associations, newspapers, a Buddhist temple, a record company, and charities.
