  When ships under the command of white Europeans first sailed into the Delaware Bay in 1609, southeastern Pennsylvania's documented history of the strange and unusual began. This book tackles seven true "dark histories" from Chester and Delaware counties, which include tales of murder, witchcraft, cannibalism, tragic accidents, and macabre events that actually happened in the Greater Philadelphia region. All stories are meticulously researched and placed within the greater context of Pennsylvania and world history. For example, the murder of three children by an indentured servant is placed within the context the kidnapping of children into servitude in England for sale to the Americas. The trial and execution of a woman for killing her infants is placed within the context of the rights of women in early America and how the court system failed them. The treatment of witchcraft is placed within the larger relationship of Quakers with the supernatural in Pennsylvania. This is not a book of ghost stories; this is an exploration of the real events that led people to believe in ghosts. It aims to strike a balance between a colloquial work that is accessible by a variety of listeners, and an solid academic work.

  The Pax Romana - Peace and...

  The Pax Romana, meaning "Roman Peace," was a remarkable period of stability and prosperity that lasted for over two centuries. It began with the rise of Augustus, Rome’s first emperor, following the chaotic years of civil war that had plagued the late Republic. This era saw the establishment of a strong centralized government, economic growth, and the expansion of Rome’s influence across the Mediterranean and beyond. The foundations of this peace were carefully laid through political reforms, military strength, and a redefined vision of Roman leadership. 
  The aftermath of the civil wars that marked the late Republic left Rome in a state of disarray. The assassination of Julius Caesar in 44 BCE triggered a power struggle, culminating in the final confrontation between Octavian—Caesar’s adopted heir—and Mark Antony. With his victory at the Battle of Actium in 31 BCE, Octavian secured his position as the dominant ruler of Rome. In 27 BCE, he formally accepted the title of Augustus from the Senate, marking the beginning of the imperial system. This transition ended the Republic but ushered in an era of stability that would define the next two centuries. 
  Augustus carefully crafted a government that appeared to preserve Republican traditions while consolidating power in his hands. By maintaining the illusion of senatorial authority, he avoided the fate of his great-uncle, Julius Caesar. However, his rule was firmly grounded in the principles of autocracy. He reorganized the military, ensuring its loyalty through direct financial incentives, and established a standing army with permanent stations along the empire’s borders. This professionalization of the military reduced internal conflicts and safeguarded the empire from external threats.

  What Universities Owe Democracy

  Universities play an indispensable role within modern democracies. But this role is often overlooked or too narrowly conceived, even by universities themselves. In What Universities Owe Democracy, Ronald J. Daniels, the president of Johns Hopkins University, argues that—at a moment when liberal democracy is endangered and more countries are heading toward autocracy than at any time in generations—it is critical for today's colleges and universities to reestablish their place in democracy. 
   
   
   
  Drawing upon fields as varied as political science, economics, history, and sociology, Daniels identifies four distinct functions of American higher education that are key to liberal democracy: social mobility, citizenship education, the stewardship of facts, and the cultivation of pluralistic, diverse communities. By examining these roles over time, Daniels explains where colleges and universities have faltered in their execution of these functions—and what they can do going forward. 
   
   
   
  Looking back on his decades of experience leading universities, Daniels offers bold prescriptions for how universities can act now to strengthen democracy. For those committed to democracy's future prospects, this book is a vital resource.
