Summary

What is justice—and who should rule?
In this timeless philosophical dialogue, Plato explores the nature of justice, the structure of an ideal society, and the responsibilities of leadership. Through Socrates' probing conversations, readers confront enduring questions about morality, education, freedom, and truth—culminating in the famous Allegory of the Cave, one of the most powerful metaphors in all of philosophy.

Hailed as "the cornerstone of Western political thought," The Republic has shaped ideas about government, ethics, and human nature for over two thousand years. Its arguments remain provocative, challenging readers to rethink power, virtue, and the pursuit of the good life.

If you seek clarity on society's deepest questions and ideas that still define our world, this essential classic is indispensable.

Open the book—and enter the dialogue that still governs how we think about justice and truth.

    "A vital book about the ridiculously cozy relationship between corporate wealth and government power and how it only seems to be getting worse" (William Cohan, author of Money and Power). 
 
 
 
In the United States today we have good reasons to be afraid. Our Bill of Rights has been rendered powerless by ubiquitous surveillance and our freedoms are impaired by government control of information, systemic financial corruption, and unfettered corporate influence in our elections. Behind a thinning veneer of democracy, the Corporate Security State is tipping the balance between the self-interest of a governing corporate elite and the rights of the people to freedom, safety, and fairness. 
 
 
 
In The Rise of the American Corporate Security State, Beatrice Edwards examines the real reasons to be afraid in twenty-first-century America, and outlines how we can address them. Our first steps in the right direction may be small, but they are important. They are based on the principle that we have a right to know what our government is doing and to speak openly about it. Creeping censorship, secret courts, and clandestine corporate control are all anathema to democratic practices and must be corrected now—before this last chance to redeem our rights is lost.

    "A fun introduction to English history for those who may find conventional history books dry and tedious... it offers an accessible and enjoyable alternative to more traditional texts." 
"a delightful blend of history, humor, and art. It provides readers with an entertaining way to learn about England’s past while enjoying the wit and creativity of A. Beckett. Whether you are a history buff or someone looking for a lighthearted approach to learning, this book offers something for everyone." 
In the third drily hilarious volume of A Comic History Of England, we move forward to the thirteenth century, when a succession of Edwards and Henrys gain the throne and immediately use it to steal everything they can from the population, in order to fund attempts to conquer France (or pay their debts from conquering England). Along the way we get the fabled Black Prince, one of the greatest battles in English history, a queen far more powerful than her king or sons, and a consideration of the manners and condition of the English period up to this point in the history. 
Covers: 
Henry The Third, Surnamed Of Winchester. 
Edward The First, Surnamed Longshanks. 
Edward The Second, Surnamed Of Caernarvon. 
Edward The Third. 
Richard The Second, Surnamed Of Bordeaux. 
On The Manners, Customs, And Condition Of The People.
