Sinopsis

"Roles Balance Society" explores the historical function of gender roles in maintaining social order and cohesion. It challenges the conventional view of these roles as purely oppressive, arguing that they have historically contributed to societal stability by fostering interdependence and shared values. Intriguingly, the book highlights how the division of labor along gender lines, while often unequal, has served to integrate individuals into a broader social system, promoting a sense of belonging.

 
The book takes a historical sociology approach, drawing on case studies from diverse cultures and time periods to examine how gendered roles have evolved and adapted. It begins by establishing a theoretical framework rooted in classical sociological theories and then moves to analyze specific examples, such as the impact of industrialization on traditional roles. By reframing our understanding of gender roles, this book offers valuable insights into current debates surrounding gender equality and social harmony, revealing how societies have historically used gender to organize themselves.

In The Birth of the Republic, 1763–89, Edmund S. Morgan shows how the challenge of British taxation started Americans on a search for constitutional principles to protect their freedom, and eventually led to the Revolution. By demonstrating that the founding fathers' political philosophy was not grounded in theory, but rather grew out of their own immediate needs, Morgan paints a vivid portrait of how the founders' own experiences shaped their passionate convictions, and these in turn were incorporated into the Constitution and other governmental documents. The Birth of the Republic is the classic account of the beginnings of the American government, and in this fourth edition the original text is supplemented with a new foreword by Joseph J. Ellis and a historiographic essay by Rosemarie Zagarri.

Is it possible to live a fulfilling life of gratitude, joy, and humility in a state of grace without religion and a belief in God?   
A cold hard look at the human predicament of existence in this universe based on the empirical knowledge we have today, Godless Grace uses narrative and poetry to go where people fear to tread. Not an everlasting life in heaven, but a finite life, here and right now. Godless Grace seeks to examine and reinterpret life’s journey from an atheistic point of view to see a life full of possibility and ultimate meaning. 
In Godless Grace by Michael Terence O’Brien, we experience the remarkable good fortune that this universe exists. That stars formed and brought forth live on this planet. That the cosmic lottery has given us, evolved for us, a brain capable of a consciousness to be aware of it all. We see how to enfold this awareness of presence into a constant source of wonder and exhilaration.

North Georgia has more than forty lakes, and not one is natural. The state's controversial decision to dam the region's rivers for power and water supply changed the landscape forever. 
 
 
 
Lost communities, forgotten crossroads, dissolving racetracks, and even entire towns disappeared. The creation of Lake Lanier displaced more than seven hundred families. During the construction of Lake Chatuge, busloads of schoolboys were brought in to help disinter graves for the community's cemetery relocation. Contractors clearing land for the development of Lake Hartwell met with seventy-eight-year-old Eliza Brock wielding a shotgun and warning the men off her property. Lisa Russell dives into the history hidden beneath North Georgia's lakes.

Can Jews be allowed to become boring?


With Israel and antisemitism constantly in the news, it seems as though the Jewish people - a fraction of a percentage of the world's population - have become synonymous with controversy, drama and anxiety. But what if there was another side to this persistently interesting people; one that non-Jews often don't know about and Jews rarely talk about? This is the stuff of 'everyday' Jewishness; the capacity to be ordinary, mundane and sometimes just plain dull.


Keith Kahn-Harris lifts the lid on this surprising world in a book for Jews and non-Jews alike. Arguing that his people's extraordinary public visibility today is harming their ability to live everyday Jewish lives, he celebrates the mundanity and mediocrity of a people before it vanishes completely.
