  At its height, the Roman Empire stood as one of the most powerful and influential civilizations in history. Spanning continents, from the windswept moors of Britain to the deserts of Egypt, Rome’s reach seemed boundless. The strength of the empire lay not only in its vast military conquests but in the complexity and efficiency of its administrative systems. Roman law, engineering, and political structure provided a level of organization that allowed a diverse collection of peoples and cultures to function under a single imperial banner. The Pax Romana, a period of relative peace lasting over two centuries, demonstrated Rome’s ability to maintain stability across its vast territories. 
  Roman culture was a dynamic blend of traditions inherited from earlier civilizations and innovations of its own. Latin served as the unifying language, enabling administration and communication across the empire. The arts flourished, with literature, sculpture, and architecture reaching impressive heights. From the poetry of Virgil and Ovid to the engineering marvels of aqueducts and roads, Roman achievements stood as symbols of sophistication. The grandeur of public spaces like the Colosseum and the Roman Forum reflected the empire’s emphasis on civic life and the power of the state. 
  Governance played a key role in the success of Rome. A highly structured bureaucracy allowed the empire to manage its provinces effectively, while a legal system based on Roman law continued to influence Western societies long after the empire’s decline. Though emperors held supreme power, the Senate, magistrates, and various local officials contributed to a layered political system that managed both urban centers and rural territories. Roman citizenship, which could be extended to people across the empire, fostered a sense of unity and shared identity among diverse populations.

  A Nation of Moochers - America's...

  We have experienced a shift in American character: we've become a nation of moochers. Increasingly dependent on the efforts of others over our own, Americans are free to freeload. From the corporate bailouts on Wall Street to the alarming increases in personal default and dependency, from questionable tax exemptions to enormous pension, healthcare, and other entitlement costs, the new moocher culture cuts across lines of class, race, and private and public sectors. And the millions that plan and behave sensibly, only to bail out the profligate? They're angry.Charles Sykes' argument is not against compassion or legitimate charity, but targets the new moocher culture, in which self-reliance and personal responsibility have given way to mass grasping after handouts. A Nation of Moochers is a persuasively argued and entertaining rallying cry for Americans who are tired of playing by the rules and paying for those who don't.

  *Named one of TIME magazine's Most Anticipated Titles of 2022*From a Pulitzer Prize finalist and New York Times bestselling author and poet comes a galvanizing meditation on the power of art and culture to illuminate America's unresolved problem with race.In the midst of civil unrest in the summer of 2020 and following the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery, Elizabeth Alexander—one of the great literary voices of our time—turned a mother's eye to her sons’ and students’ generation and wrote a celebrated and moving reflection on the challenges facing young Black America. Originally published in the New Yorker, the essay incisively and lovingly observed the experiences, attitudes, and cultural expressions of what she referred to as the Trayvon Generation, who even as children could not be shielded from the brutality that has affected the lives of so many Black people. The Trayvon Generation expands the viral essay that spoke so resonantly to the persistence of race as an ongoing issue at the center of the American experience. Alexander looks both to our past and our future with profound insight, brilliant analysis, and mighty heart, interweaving her voice with groundbreaking works of art by some of our most extraordinary artists. At this crucial time in American history when we reckon with who we are as a nation and how we move forward, Alexander's lyrical prose gives us perspective informed by historical understanding, her lifelong devotion to education, and an intimate grasp of the visioning power of art. This breathtaking  book is essential reading and an expression of both the tragedies and hopes for the young people of this era that is sure to be embraced by those who are leading the movement for change and anyone rising to meet the moment.
