Sinopse

In "Discourses on the First Decade of Titus Livius," Niccolò Machiavelli explores the intricacies of political theory through a meticulous examination of ancient Roman history as chronicled by Livy. The work is characterized by Machiavelli's incisive analytical style, where he employs a blend of historical narrative and philosophical reflection to unpack the dynamics of power, governance, and civic virtue. Machiavelli argues for the relevance of republicanism and the importance of civic engagement, juxtaposing the strengths and weaknesses of different governmental structures within the context of human nature and historical precedent. This pioneering work is significant not only for its political insights but also for its impact on Enlightenment thought and modern political theory. Machiavelli, a prominent figure of the Renaissance, drew from his experiences as a diplomat and political advisor in Florence, where he witnessed the tumultuous interplay of power and the fragility of republics. His keen observations on the nature of authority, morality, and citizenship in "Discourses" reflect his resolve to inform contemporary leaders about the enduring principles of governance and the potential for civic corruption. His works are steeped in a profound understanding of historical cycles and human behavior, making him a foundational figure in political philosophy. I highly recommend "Discourses on the First Decade of Titus Livius" to readers who seek to comprehend the roots of modern political discourse. Machiavelli's reflections initiate deeper debates about the nature of power, the role of the citizen, and the moral dimensions of leadership. Whether for scholars of political science or general readers interested in history and ethics, this book serves as an essential guide to understanding the complexities of governance and the imperatives of fostering civic responsibility.

    This provocative book takes a critical look at what is increasingly viewed as the central political issue for Catholics—abortion. From pro-choice politicians being denied communion to Democrats being called "the party of death," for some of the most vocal Catholic leaders, the abortion issue often trumps all others. The author, a practicing Catholic who is against abortion in principle, believes the Church is on the wrong course with this issue, with grievous results for the Church and American society more broadly. He gives a brief history of abortion legislation, then explores the issue from legal, moral, and Christian perspectives, presenting compelling reasons why Church leaders and Catholics should stop trying to overturn Roe v. Wade and reconsider the issue.

    How Does Change Happen? - Scenes...

    Mass protests and direct action have been familiar tactics against the many crises of the 21st century. Though methods vary, there's a collective longing for meaningful and transformative action. Some are deemed too weak, others too disruptive: from Instagram tiles to cans of soup thrown on famous paintings.
    Through conversations with activists and organisers, Sam Gonçalves recounts stories of protest and the fight for change, from a community of landless workers in Southern Brazil, to chefs unionising their workplace in Glasgow, Scotland. These narratives reveal the opportunities and challenges that are part of the difficult work of creating change, a wrestling with the question: how does change happen?
    Having a 'positive impact' in the world is often relegated to the 'personal', an individual endeavour. Gonçalves investigates that assumption and explores ways communities have resisted collectively, and fought against the individualising forces surrounding them.

    Why is it that our highly-interconnected and globalized world seems more chaotic and dangerous than ever? Have you ever wondered why the world seems to lurch from seemingly unconnected crisis to crisis? From the pandemic to climate change and net-zero policies? From food shortages to high inflation and collapsing markets? But are they really unconnected? This book explores the reality suggesting that, in fact, none of what is happening across the globe is happening by chance. 
    Right under humanity’s nose, supranational organizations such as the United Nations, the Club of Rome and Klaus Schwab’s World Economic Forum strive to usurp national sovereignties in the quest for a dystopian future, with the threat of transhumanism, the Fourth Industrial Revolution, central bank digital currencies, universal basic income and digital IDs looming ever closer. 
    This book compiles hundreds of pieces of evidence to expose the dystopian goals of a global control matrix lying in the shadows. By reading this book, you become part of humanity’s fight back against the new world order being forced on the globe. We must fight for our freedoms and for those of generations to come. 
    Humanity can, and will, win.
