The People's Claim

Pasquale De Marco

Sinopsis

In the midst of the turmoil and upheaval of the English Civil Wars, a group of radical reformers known as the Levellers emerged, challenging the established order and advocating for a more just and equitable society. Inspired by the religious and political ideas of the Reformation, the Levellers believed that all men were created equal and that they had a right to participate in government.

This book tells the story of the Levellers, from their early origins to their eventual decline. It explores their beliefs and their role in the English Civil Wars, as well as their legacy and their impact on subsequent generations of reformers.

The Levellers were a diverse group of people, united by their common cause. They included soldiers, farmers, artisans, and even some members of the gentry. They were all united by their belief in the equality of all men and their right to participate in government.

The Levellers were active in both the military and political spheres during the English Civil Wars. They fought alongside the Parliamentarian army, and they also played a leading role in the negotiations that led to the execution of King Charles I. After the war, the Levellers continued to advocate for their beliefs, but they faced increasing opposition from both the government and the more conservative elements within Parliament.

Despite their ultimate failure to achieve their goals, the Levellers left a lasting legacy. Their ideas about democracy, equality, and religious toleration would continue to inspire future generations of reformers. Their struggle for a more just and equitable society is still relevant today, and their writings continue to be studied and debated by scholars and activists alike.

**The People's Claim** is a comprehensive and engaging history of the Levellers. It is a story of courage, determination, and hope, and it is a story that deserves to be told and retold.

Praxis Tacticum - The Art...

Colonel Charles S. Oliviero

Pundits have long predicted the end of conventional warfare but for the foreseeable future, 
it is here to stay. Counterinsurgency, guerrilla warfare, terrorism, peace enforcement, policing. 
 
 
 
All these forms, like conventional warfare, are as old as mankind. Modern militaries claim to be 
professional bodies, responsible for the education, control, and discipline of their members. But at least one aspect of this claim is poorly executed: tactics are not taught to junior leaders, which is why this guide is essential for all junior leaders, officers, and NCOs alike. 
 
 
 
There is a military adage that there is no teacher like the enemy. True; but the wise commander 
prepares to meet that enemy and become their teacher instead. This is your essential study guide.

Science for a Green New Deal -...

Eric A. Davidson

Since it was first proposed in the US House of Representatives, the Green New Deal has been hotly debated. The intent was not simply to fight climate change or address a specific environmental concern, but rather to tackle how climate change and other environmental challenges affect the economy, the vulnerable, and social justice—and vice versa. 
 
 
 
In Science for a Green New Deal, Eric Davidson dissects this legislative resolution. He also shows how green new deal thinking offers a framework for a convergence of the natural sciences, social science, economics, and community engagement to develop holistic policy solutions to the most pressing issues of our day. Davidson weaves the case for linkages among multiple global crises, including a pandemic that has reversed progress on fighting poverty and hunger, an acceleration of climate change, and a renewed awareness of profound social injustices highlighted by the Black Lives Matter movement. 
 
 
 
Illustrating these points with his personal life experiences as a child growing up in Montana and as a famed researcher leading a large scientific society, Davidson relates these complex challenges to our everyday lives and decision-making. Science for a Green New Deal is a realistic and optimistic look at how we can attain a more sustainable, prosperous, and just future.

How to Tell a Story - An Ancient...

Aristotle

An inviting and accessible new translation of Aristotle's complete Poetics—the first and best introduction to the art of writing and understanding stories 
 
 
 
Aristotle's Poetics is the most important book ever written for writers and readers of stories—whether novels, short fiction, plays, screenplays, or nonfiction. Aristotle was the first to identify the keys to plot, character, audience perception, tragic pleasure, and dozens of other critical points of good storytelling. Despite being written more than 2,000 years ago, the Poetics remains essential reading for anyone who wants to learn how to write a captivating story—or understand how such stories work and achieve their psychological effects. Yet for all its influence, the Poetics is too little read because it comes down to us in a form that is often difficult to follow, and even the best translations are geared more to specialists than to general readers who simply want to grasp Aristotle's profound and practical insights. In How to Tell a Story, Philip Freeman presents the most accessible translation of the Poetics yet produced, making this indispensable book more engaging and useful than ever before.
