Sinopse

In "The Works of Plutarch: Essays and Miscellanies," the esteemed philosopher and biographer Plutarch compiles a rich tapestry of essays that delve into ethical, moral, and philosophical inquiries, seamlessly blending biography with moral lessons. The literary style is characterized by Plutarch's lucid prose, witty observations, and profound insights, elegantly situated within the context of Hellenistic thought and the sociopolitical landscape of ancient Greece and Rome. Each essay varies in theme, ranging from the nature of friendship to the virtues of political leadership, highlighting Plutarch'Äôs reflective and didactic approach that encourages readers to ponder the human condition and ethical living. Plutarch, born in approximately 46 AD in Chaeronea, Greece, was not only a potent moralist but also a keen observer of his contemporary society, drawing from his rich education and legal background to write with authority. His experiences as a priest at the Temple of Apollo and his insights gained through engagements with various Roman figures provide an intimate backdrop for his reflections on personal and political ethics, thereby enhancing the significance of "Essays and Miscellanies" within his wider body of work. This collection is a vital read for anyone interested in philosophy, ethics, or the interplay of politics and morality in the human experience. Plutarch'Äôs beguiling exploration of timeless themes remains relevant today, making this work indispensable for scholars and laid readers alike who seek to navigate the complexities of their own lives through the lens of historical wisdom.

    Action-packed stories of legendary tank soldiers in some of the bloodiest engagements of World War II, from North Africa to the Eastern Front.   With brash courage and finely honed skill, Germany’s black-clad panzer troops blasted their way into the annals of military history as feared and fearless fighters. Leading from the turrets of Panthers, Tigers, and other lethal machines, these men spearheaded the Third Reich’s offensives on the Eastern Front, in the West, and in Africa, turning T-34s and Shermans into burning wrecks and battling on even when all seemed lost. Franz Kurowski captures the essence of World War II tank combat: the rattling of tracks, the fire and smoke of rounds hitting home, the guts of the commanders who led from the front.

    For too long, women have been told to confine themselves-physically, socially, and emotionally. Eliza VanCort says now is the time for women to stand tall, raise their voices, and claim their space. 
     
    Women fight the pressure to make themselves small in private, professional, and public spaces. VanCort, a teacher, consultant, and speaker, provides the necessary tools for women to rewrite the rules and create the stories of their choosing safely and without apology. 
     
    VanCort identifies the five key behaviors of all "Space-Claiming Queens": use your voice and posture to project confidence and power, end self-sabotage, forge connections, neutralize unsafe spaces, and unite across differences. Through personal narrative, research, and actionable strategies, VanCort provides how-tos on combating challenges, such as antimentors and microaggressions, and gives advice for building up your "old girls" club, asking for what you're worth, and owning your space without apology. 
     
    Bold, fun, and enlightening, this book is birthed from VanCort's incredible story. Having a mother with schizophrenia forced VanCort to learn to be small and invisible at an early age, and suffering a traumatic brain injury as an adult required her to rethink communication from the ground up. Drawing on these experiences, and those of real women everywhere, VanCort empowers women to claim space for themselves and for their sisters with courage, empathy, and conviction because "when we rise together, we rise so much higher."
