Sinopse

Embark on a captivating journey through the lives of women in antiquity as they navigate the complexities of ancient societies. Discover their triumphs and tribulations, their contributions and struggles, and their enduring legacies. This comprehensive book offers a fresh perspective on women's roles and experiences in the ancient world.

From the vibrant streets of ancient Rome to the bustling marketplaces of ancient Greece, from the Nile River Valley to the Indus Valley, women played multifaceted roles in shaping their civilizations. They were goddesses, queens, priestesses, artists, healers, scholars, workers, and mothers. They influenced politics, religion, economics, and culture.

Uncover the hidden stories of women who defied societal norms, shattered glass ceilings, and left an indelible mark on history. Meet Hypatia, the brilliant mathematician and philosopher who challenged the status quo in ancient Alexandria. Learn about Artemisia I of Caria, the formidable warrior queen who ruled over a vast empire. Discover the remarkable achievements of Enheduanna, the world's first known poet, who composed hymns to the gods in ancient Mesopotamia.

Explore the challenges women faced in ancient societies, from legal and social constraints to limited opportunities for education and employment. Witness their resilience and determination as they overcame obstacles and carved out spaces for themselves in a male-dominated world. Understand the complexities of gender roles and the power dynamics that shaped women's lives.

Through meticulously researched accounts and vivid storytelling, this book brings to life the experiences of women in antiquity, shedding light on their contributions to science, literature, art, politics, and everyday life. It challenges traditional narratives and offers a more inclusive understanding of ancient history.

This book is a testament to the strength, resilience, and enduring legacy of women throughout history. It is a celebration of their achievements and a call to recognize their rightful place in the annals of time. By delving into the lives of women in antiquity, we gain a deeper appreciation for the diversity and richness of human experience.

    The National Rifle Association, which advocates for gun rights, rose to prominence by becoming one of the most powerful lobbying institutions in the United States, yet its political influence was considerably weakened following the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings. 
    Years of poor management, bad leadership, massive illegal profits, and excessive spending are revealed in Misfire (2021) as journalist Tim Mak blows the lid off the corruption lurking in the nonprofit organization. Mak traces its continuing downfall under the faltering leadership of Wayne LaPierre. He exposes its suspicious relations with a Russian intelligence agent, overly cozy partnership with its public relations firm, and the ongoing fight for control it has witnessed over the years.

    Australia's leading social psychologist examines our society today and asks timely and urgent questions about its future 
     
    Life is messy. Relationships are complex. Outcomes are uncertain. Yet none of our differences-whether based on ethnicity, politics, religion, cultural tastes and preferences, or gender-are nearly as significant as the humanity we share. 
     
    Amidst our epidemics of loneliness, anxiety and depression, and the impacts of entrenched poverty and ubiquitous technology, The Way We Are examines the major trends that are shaking the foundations of the Australian way of life. 
     
     
    Drawing on thousands of interviews over a lifetime of research, Hugh Mackay, much loved and highly respected social psychologist, presents a compelling portrait of Australia today. He celebrates the march towards gender equality and explains the stubborn persistence of misogyny, the anti-social consequences of social media, the complex legacy of the Baby Boomers, and the 'fake wisdom' that guides too much of our thinking. Exploring the steady decline in religious faith and practice, Hugh identifies the many gods we continue to worship, and points to the positive role that dreaming can play in our lives. Though some of his observations may not be easy reading, Hugh's analysis is suffused with affection for our country. 
     
     
    Inspiring, provocative and powerfully argued, The Way We Are is the most important-and uplifting-book you'll read all year. It will encourage you to reflect deeply on the question: What kind of society do we want to become?

    Essay on the Principle of...

    Thomas Malthus

    Thomas Malthus, an English economist and cleric, published his influential work "An Essay on the Principle of Population" in 1798. The book introduced the idea that population growth would outstrip resources in the long run, leading to catastrophic consequences such as famine, disease, and war. 
    Malthus argued that population growth was exponential, while resources grew at a much slower arithmetic rate. This meant that over time, the population would inevitably outstrip the ability of the land to produce food, leading to a "positive check" on population growth in the form of famine, disease, or war. 
    Malthus also identified a "preventative check" on population growth, which he saw as the moral restraint of individuals to delay marriage and childbirth until they could support a family. However, he believed that this restraint would only be effective for the wealthy and educated classes, while the poor would continue to have large families out of necessity. 
    Malthus's ideas were controversial at the time, as they challenged the prevailing belief in progress and the idea that human ingenuity and technological advances could overcome any resource constraints. However, his ideas gained traction in the 19th century as Europe experienced a series of famines and population pressures, and his work influenced later economists such as David Ricardo and John Stuart Mill. 
    Critics of Malthus have argued that his predictions did not come to pass, as the world has experienced significant improvements in food production and living standards over the last two centuries. However, Malthus's ideas continue to influence debates on population growth, resource constraints, and environmental sustainability.
