Phaedo

Plato Plato

Sinopse

Phaedo by Plato also known to ancient readers as On The Soul, is one of the best-known dialogues of Plato's middle period, along with the Republic and the Symposium.

The philosophical subject of the dialogue is the immortality of the soul. It is set in the last hours prior to the death of Socrates, and is Plato's fourth and last dialogue to detail the philosopher's final days, following Euthyphro, Apology, and Crito.

One of the main themes in the Phaedo is the idea that the soul is immortal. In the dialogue, Socrates discusses the nature of the afterlife on his last day before being executed by drinking hemlock.

Socrates has been imprisoned and sentenced to death by an Athenian jury for not believing in the gods of the state (though some scholars think it was more for his support of "philosopher kings" as opposed to democracy) and for corrupting the youth of the city.
By engaging in dialectic with a group of Socrates' friends, including the two Thebans, Cebes, and Simmias, Socrates explores various arguments for the soul's immortality in order to show that there is an afterlife in which the soul will dwell following death. Phaedo tells the story that following the discussion, he and the others were there to witness the death of Socrates.

The Phaedo was first translated into Latin from Greek by Henry Aristippus in 1160.

Food - Second Edition

John Coveney

In Food, John Coveney examines "food as . . . " identity, politics, industry, regulation, the environment, justice, and gastronomy. He explores how food helps us understand what it means to be human. 
 
 
 
The centrality of food in life, and the importance of food as life, is undeniable. As a source of biological substrates, personal pleasure, and political power, food is and has been an enduring requirement of human biological, social, and cultural existence. Interest in food has increased across the academic, public, and popular spheres, fueled by popular media's constant play on the role of food and body size, and food and cooking, as a mass spectacle for TV audiences. Through food, we construct our social identities, our families and communities. However, Coveney also highlights the tensions between the industrialization of food, the environment, and the iniquitous distribution of food. He also considers how the food industries, on which most of us must rely, have also had direct effects on our bodies through diet, and the development of illness and diseases. 
 
 
 
This accessible primer is for students and general listeners alike, indeed, for anyone with an interest in food. It questions the idea that food is merely something inert on the plate. Instead, it shows how influential, symbolic, powerful, and transformative food has come to be.

Stories of Cape Cod

Jack Johnson

Stories of Cape Cod is a rich and engaging journey through one of America’s most storied regions, told town by town and voice by voice. 
Written in an inviting, conversational style, Jack Johnson brings Cape Cod’s past to life through a series of short historical narratives and local anecdotes that span centuries of New England life. From the early settlements of Bourne and Sandwich to the windswept shores of Chatham and Wellfleet, each chapter explores the unique character of a Cape town—its people, its industries, its legends, and the events that shaped it. 
Listeners will encounter tales of maritime adventure, wartime service, invention, and everyday resilience, alongside memorable figures such as Myles Standish, Daniel Webster, Admiral Nimitz, and the lesser-known but equally fascinating locals who defined their communities. Stories of glassmaking, canal construction, fishing, shipbuilding, and small-town enterprise paint a vivid portrait of Cape Cod as both a working landscape and a cultural crossroads. 
Narrated with warmth and clarity by Tony J. Martin, this audiobook feels less like a formal history and more like a guided walk through time—full of human detail, quiet drama, and regional charm. 
Perfect for listeners interested in New England history, American local color writing, or the enduring spirit of coastal communities, Stories of Cape Cod preserves the voices, memories, and traditions that continue to shape the Cape.
