  A Short History of European Law brings to life 2,500 years of legal history, tying current norms to the circumstances of their conception. Tamar Herzog describes how successive legal systems built upon one another, from ancient times through the European Union. Roman law formed the backbone of each configuration, though the way it was used and reshaped varied dramatically from one century and place to the next. Only by considering Continental civil law and English common law together do we see how they drew from and enriched this shared tradition.

  "All, Everything That I Understand, I Understand Only Because I Love."
  
  Leo Tolstoy stands as a giant of the literary world, a writer whose work is so vast and deeply human that it feels like life itself. Known for his ability to capture the grand movements of history alongside the most intimate flickers of the human heart, Tolstoy's novels are essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of society, faith, and the soul. This comprehensive collection spans his entire novelistic career, from his early semi-autobiographical reflections to his massive historical epics and later spiritual awakenings.
  
  The Architect of the Human Soul: Tolstoy's genius lay in his "psychological realism"—the ability to portray characters with such depth and nuance that they transcend the page. His work explores the tension between the individual and the state, the search for meaning in a world of suffering, and the transformative power of love and simplicity. Whether he is documenting the Napoleonic Wars or the tragic constraints of aristocratic marriage, Tolstoy's prose remains a masterclass in observation and empathy.
  
  Tolstoy's influence on the world extends far beyond literature, impacting the thoughts of figures like Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. This volume is the definitive cornerstone for any library of world classics, historical fiction, and philosophical literature.
  
  Experience the full breadth of a master. Buy "The Complete Novels of Leo Tolstoy" today and journey through the heart of the human experience.

  Sam Houston and Santa Anna: The...

  More than most men in history, Sam Houston was a contradictory individual. He was born in the United States while George Washington was in office, and in an era when the native people who were gradually being subjugated were considered savages, he called them friends and even lived among them. He was abandoned by his first wife and, after suffering the sting of divorce, married again in the manner of his native family, only to abandon his Indian bride to return to life among his own people. In the interim, he fought for their rights in the halls of government, defending them even as he obtained favor in the eyes of one of their worst enemies. He seemed to have the right mix of charm and grit to make a successful life with him and their large family. 
  	Though he was born and raised elsewhere, Houston is considered one of Texas’ truest sons, and during his life he fought for its independence from Mexico and then for its submission to the United States. He owned slaves himself but spent his entire political career fighting against the spread of “the American cancer” to the West. Then, when his beloved state seceded from the Union, he not only opposed secession but sacrificed his own position to protest it, only to turn around and support the Confederacy during the last years of his life.  
  The butcher of the Alamo and Goliad. The traitor who sold half of Mexico. The Napoleon of the West. Mr. Fifteen Nails. The Mother Country’s seducer. Almost 150 years after his death, a lot of name-calling is still being directed towards Antonio López de Santa Anna, president of Mexico 11 times in the 19th century, and today, the vast majority of his compatriots consider him the greatest traitor in history. It was not like that in his day; actually, there had never been a more popular man in Mexico, or anyone more eulogized and essential than General Santa Anna. In life he was the most famous - and infamous - Mexican general and politician.
