Sinopse

12 BC. - Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa Postumus is born in the most prosperous period of the Roman Empire, in which in power is its founder Augustus himself.
The son of the famous Agrippa, he can also claim membership to the Julio-Claudian dynasty on his mother's side.
With Augustus struggling with a scarcity of direct heirs, everything would suggest a bright future for Agrippa within the dynasty.
But his very existence will prove to be a problem not only for the Caesar's plans, but also and especially for those who aspire to alter them. Determined to assert his independence and freedom in a court plagued by conspiracies and subterfuges, Agrippa will endure countless trials and suffer as many abuses.
Until when, with Rome now seemingly unattainable, he will have a new opportunity to choose between eternal glory and oblivion.

    Radical Advocate - Ida B Wells...

    Born into the brutal reality of slavery, Ida B. Wells rose to become an audacious journalist, teacher, and activist for racial and gender justice. In Radical Advocate, Mary E. Triece examines the rhetorical strategies employed by Wells to challenge deeply rooted systems of oppression, strategies that remain powerful and relevant today. 
     
    Triece introduces the concept of "radical embodied advocacy" to give an account of Wells's unique position as a Black woman whose personal encounters with white violence were palpable, experienced physically and mentally. White men lynched Wells's friends and threatened her own life, forcing her into exile after destroying the very press on which she wrote and edited. From this perspective, Wells understood lynching as linked to white economic and political control. Through a close analysis of Wells's speeches, writings, and journalism, Triece reveals how Wells pioneered a form of "intersectional journalism" that centered the voices of those marginalized by race, gender, and class. 
     
    Triece underscores the epistemic challenges faced by marginalized advocates and the importance of their perspectives in shaping social change. Radical Advocate positions Wells as a prophetic figure whose insights into the systemic nature of racism remain profoundly relevant in today's world.

    This book is like a walk in the park chat about my journey through drug addiction. It tells the story of how we got started at the early age of 10 years old smoking marijuana. For fourteen years of my life, this led to the hallucinogens, snorting cocaine, drinking alcohol and that dangerous monster; crack cocaine. We were able to come through this dangerous lifestyle and live to document the steps that we were able to take to free ourselves from this living hell. We are honored to share this process in hopes that we can reach the hearts and minds of all who will walk this path with us, as we are now 29 years free and clear of drugs, alcohol and cigarettes as a result of "Walking The Road To Recovery; 9 Steps In Motion.

    The Einstein Syndrome - Bright...

    The Einstein Syndrome is a follow-up to Late-Talking Children, which established Thomas Sowell as a leading spokesman on the subject of late-talking children. While many children who talk late suffer from developmental disorders or autism, there is a certain well-defined group who are developmentally normal or even quite bright, yet who may go past their fourth birthday before beginning to talk. These children are often misdiagnosed as autistic or retarded, a mistake that is doubly hard on parents who must first worry about their apparently handicapped children and then see them lumped into special classes and therapy groups where all the other children are clearly very different. Since he first became involved in this issue in the mid-90s, Sowell has joined with Stephen Camarata of Vanderbilt University, who has conducted a much broader, more rigorous study of this phenomenon than the anecdotes reported in Late-Talking Children. Sowell can now identify a particular syndrome, a cluster of common symptoms and family characteristics, that differentiates these late-talking children from others; relate this syndrome to other syndromes; speculate about its causes; and describe how children with this syndrome are likely to develop.
