Synopsis

Plato: Complete Works is a definitive collection of the philosophical texts of one of Western thought's most significant figures. Encompassing dialogues, letters, and philosophical treatises, this anthology reveals Plato's explorations of justice, morality, and the nature of reality. His literary style, characterized by Socratic dialogue and allegory, invites readers to engage actively with profound questions about the human condition. Within this collection, the interplay of rhetoric and dialectic shines, offering insightful commentary on the political and ethical landscape of ancient Athens while intertwining it with timeless philosophical inquiries. Plato, a student of Socrates and mentor to Aristotle, lived during the tumultuous Golden Age of Athens. His exposure to the political strife and intellectual vigor of his time profoundly influenced his writings. Deeply invested in the pursuit of truth and the ideal society, he sought to meld philosophy with practical governance, as evidenced in texts such as The Republic. His concern for the moral fabric of society reflects a lifelong commitment to understanding and improving the human experience. This anthology is an essential read for anyone striving to grasp the roots of Western philosophy. Scholars and novices alike will benefit from Plato's comprehensive insights into ethics, politics, and metaphysics, making it an indispensable resource for reflective thinkers and those seeking a deeper understanding of philosophical inquiry.

    All of us have things we want to change about ourselves. 
    All of us have goals and aspirations, and perfect versions of ourselves that we imagine. We all want to have better abs, better teeth, more confidence, and more money. 
    And every now and then, we get sick of just “wanting” those things and we endeavour to do something about it. That normally involves beginning a new training program, or it means investing money, or changing bank account. 
    We make a huge effort to make these changes, but we seldom end up getting the results we want. In fact, many people have completely given up on the hope that they can EVER change. 
    Why is that? 
    Normally, it’s because we approach our goals in the completely the wrong way. We are looking for drastic change. We want to see immediate results. 
    But that’s not how improvement really works.

    China watchers long argued that economic liberalization and prosperity would be harbingers of democracy. Instead, the Communist Party's grip has strengthened. How? The answer lies in the effectiveness of the surveillance state. And the source of that effectiveness is not just facial recognition AI and phone tracking. Technology is important, but what matters more is China's vast army of domestic spies.Central government surveillance data is confidential, so Minxin Pei turned to local reports, police gazettes, leaked documents, and interviews with exiled dissidents to provide a detailed look at the evolution, organization, and tactics of the surveillance state. Following the 1989 Tiananmen uprising, the Party invested in a coercive apparatus operated by a small number of secret police capable of mobilizing millions of citizen informants. The Party's Leninist bureaucratic structure—whereby officials and activists penetrate every sector of the economy and civil society, from universities to delivery companies to monasteries—ensures that Beijing's eyes and ears are everywhere.Rigorously empirical and rich in historical insight, The Sentinel State is a singular contribution to our knowledge about Chinese state coercion and, more generally, the survival strategies of authoritarian regimes.

    DESCRIPTION: 
    My Blue Book of Grammar is a course that has been conceptualized and designed keeping in mind the increasingly dynamic role of the English language in today’s world. Especially in our country, where English serves as the lingua franca, a grammar course has to offer not only an exposition of the pedagogy but also the exhibition of the utility of that pedagogy. The aim of a grammar series should be to encourage the development of competency amongst learners, even though their proficiency levels may vary. While the level of exposure to English of all learners may be different, a grammar series should aid in the development of a certain level of confidence amongst the learners, with the end result being that they are able to converse without hesitation in English.

    It seems so much is going wrong in America. Some say it’s because our leaders are incompetent. Others think it’s merely a coincidence. But to millions of concerned Americans, those simplistic explanations no longer ring true. 
    Instead, they sense something else is going on… 
    Kevin Freeman is one of them. Drawing on his deep expertise in investigative analysis, he took a hard look at all that America is going through. Piecing together historical evidence and current events, he made a shocking discovery: 
    The crises now facing America are happening according to plan. 
    Decades in the making, it is a plan to take down the greatest obstacle to totalitarianism the world has ever known: the United States. And it’s a plan that will succeed—unless we join together now to save America.
