Summary

Hellenic Knowledge Preservation explores how ancient Greek intellectual achievements survived and influenced subsequent civilizations, a pivotal topic for understanding the roots of modern thought. The book highlights the essential roles of institutions like the Platonic Academy, libraries such as the Library of Alexandria, and the translation of Greek texts into languages like Latin and Arabic. These efforts ensured that Greek philosophy, science, and mathematics were not lost, demonstrating that the transmission of knowledge was an active, multifaceted endeavor.

 
The book traces the journey of Hellenic knowledge from ancient Greece through the Roman Empire, the Middle Ages, and into the Renaissance. It examines key educational centers, translation movements, and the rediscovery of Greek texts in Europe. By adopting a chronological approach and blending historical narrative with in-depth analysis, Hellenic Knowledge Preservation provides a comprehensive account of how Greek thought shaped Western civilization.

Public Opinion

Walter Lippmann

Walter Lippmann's Public Opinion (1922) argues humans can't fully grasp complex issues. We rely on simplified ideas (stereotypes) and media portrayals ("pseudo-environments") to form opinions. He suggests experts, not the public, should guide society due to these limitations. Though controversial, it remains a crucial text in understanding public opinion, media influence, and the challenges of democracy.

Welcome to Britain: Fixing Our...

Colin Yeo

"A must-read" – Maya Goodfellow
"Highly readable" – Joshua Rozenberg QC
"Brilliant and urgently necessary" – Amelia Gentleman
"Incisive and compelling" – The Secret Barrister
***
How would we treat Paddington Bear if he came to the UK today? Perhaps he would be a casualty of extortionate visa application fees; perhaps he would experience a cruel term of imprisonment in a detention centre; or perhaps his entire identity would be torn apart at the hands of a hostile environment that delights in the humiliation of its victims.
Britain thinks of itself as a welcoming country, but the reality is very different. This is a system in which people born in Britain are told in uncompromising terms that they are not British, in which those who have lived their entire lives on these shores are threatened with deportation, and in which falling in love with anyone other than a British national can result in families being ripped apart.
Now fully updated to include the Nationality and Borders Bill, in this vital and alarming book, campaigner and immigration barrister Colin Yeo tackles the subject with dexterity and rigour, offering a roadmap of where we should go from here as he exposes the injustice of an immigration system that is unforgiving, unfeeling and, ultimately, failing.

Sumerians - Their History...

Kelly Mass

The Sumerians were the people from Sumer, the first recognized society in the historic area of southern Mesopotamia (now southern Iraq), developed throughout the 6th and 5th centuries BC throughout the Chalcolithic and early Bronze Ages. In addition to age-old Egypt, the Caral-Supe culture, the Indus Valley civilization, the Minoan civilization, and age-old China, it is also one of the world's early civilizations. Sumerian farmers who lived along the Tigris and Euphrates valleys grew a great deal of grain and other items, which allowed them to establish metropolitan towns. Before 3000 BC, there was proto-writing. The earliest files date from between 3500 and 3000 BC and are from the cities of Uruk and Jemdet Nasr. 
Most historical analysts believe that Sumer was first completely occupied between c. 5500 and 4000 BC by a West Asian population who spoke the Sumerian language, a non-Semitic and non-Indo-European agglutinative language isolate (as evidenced by the names of cities, rivers, standard professions, and so on). It wasn't an inflected language, in contrast to its Semitic cousins. 
Go ahead and get stared, and get to know more about the Sumerians, what they did, who they were, and why so many people know so little about them.
