Sinopse

Journey through the captivating history of ancient Greece and uncover the secrets of Sparta, a city-state renowned for its military prowess, unwavering discipline, and enduring legacy. In this comprehensive exploration, we delve into the heart of Spartan society, examining the unique customs, traditions, and values that shaped this extraordinary civilization.

From its humble origins to its rise as a regional power and its transformation into a formidable military machine, Sparta's story is one of resilience, strength, and unwavering resolve. We explore the Spartan social structure, the rigorous Agoge educational system that produced legendary warriors, and the unwavering Spartan values of honor, courage, and obedience.

Beyond Sparta's borders, we venture into the wider world of ancient Greece, encountering iconic city-states such as Athens, Corinth, Thebes, and Macedon. We witness the rise and fall of empires, the clash of civilizations, and the enduring impact of Greek culture on Western civilization.

We delve into the Peloponnesian War, a devastating conflict that tore Greece apart, and trace the conquests of Alexander the Great, whose empire spread Greek influence across the known world. We also examine the Hellenistic Era, a period of cultural and intellectual flourishing, and the impact of Roman rule on Greece.

Our journey culminates in the modern Greek state, a nation that has emerged from centuries of occupation and struggle to reclaim its rich heritage and forge a new path forward. We explore the challenges and triumphs of modern Greece, and ponder the future of this ancient land, steeped in history and mythology, as it navigates the complexities of the 21st century.

With vivid storytelling and meticulous research, this book brings to life the triumphs and challenges of ancient Greece, offering a fresh perspective on the enduring legacy of Sparta and its place in the wider tapestry of Greek history.

    This is the audio recording of the "Phantom Punch" title fight--the second championship bout between Muhammad Ali and Sonny Liston--held on May 25, 1965, at St. Dominic’s Hall in Lewiston, Maine. It also includes a follow-up analysis by boxing experts. This rematch is infamous for the controversial "phantom punch" that led to Liston's quick defeat in the first round. Ali knocked Liston down, but the punch was not clearly seen by many observers, leading to speculation about a fix. The fight was marred by confusion, as the referee failed to administer a proper count, and the atmosphere surrounding the event was tense, contributing to its notoriety.

    Son of Birmingham - A Memoir

    Today's Birmingham—led by Mayor Randall Woodfin—is a phoenix rising from the ashes of systemic racism and white flight. This first Southern city to pluck the feathers off Jim Crow, where peaceful protesters endured attacks by police dogs, where high-pressure water hoses tore at the flesh of men and women marching for their rights, and where children locked arms and sang "We Shall Overcome," is a living, breathing redemption story. 
     
     
     
    In Son of Birmingham, Woodfin draws upon the street wisdom of his generation's Southern rap music; the power of family, friends, and faith; and his education at the historically Black Morehouse College to preach the progress every corner of our nation clamors for right now. He walks listeners through the streets of his Birmingham, bringing to light the daily joys and struggles of everyday people and revealing what spurred him to turn his education and Capitol Hill experience to the city of his youth. 
     
     
     
    A moving memoir of a young leader's perseverance in a city still battling racism and gun violence, which Woodfin experienced first-hand, Son of Birmingham is also a call-to-action across America—an appeal to Woodfin's unique brand of servant leadership and responsive government for equitable, inclusive, and prosperous cities where everyone has the opportunity to reach their full potential.

    Analog Superpowers - How...

    At the beginning of the twentieth century, two British inventors, Arthur Pollen and Harold Isherwood, became fascinated by a major military question: how to aim the big guns of battleships. These warships—of enormous geopolitical import before the advent of intercontinental missiles or drones—had to shoot in poor light and choppy seas at distant moving targets, conditions that impeded accurate gunfire. Seeing the need to account for a plethora of variables, Pollen and Isherwood built an integrated system for gathering data, calculating predictions, and transmitting the results to the gunners. At the heart of their invention was the most advanced analog computer of the day, a technological breakthrough that anticipated the famous Norden bombsight of World War II, the inertial guidance systems of nuclear missiles, and the networked “smart” systems that dominate combat today. Recognizing the value of Pollen and Isherwood’s invention, the British Royal Navy and the United States Navy pirated it, one after the other. When the inventors sued, both the British and US governments invoked secrecy, citing national security concerns.
     
    
    Drawing on a wealth of archival evidence, Analog Superpowers analyzes these and related legal battles over naval technology, exploring how national defense tested the two countries’ commitment to individual rights and the free market. Katherine C. Epstein deftly sets out Pollen’s and Isherwood’s pioneering achievements, the patent questions raised, the geopolitical rivalry between Britain and the United States, and the legal precedents each country developed to control military tools built by private contractors.
     
    
    The America portrayed in this sweeping and accessible history isn’t yet a global hegemon but a rising superpower ready to acquire foreign technology by fair means or foul—much as it accuses China of doing today.
