Synopsis

"Ancient Contracts" explores the evolution of written agreements in ancient Mesopotamia, Egypt, and the Greco-Roman world, revealing their foundational role in shaping modern legal and economic systems. The book posits that these contracts, often surprisingly sophisticated, were not just responses to practical needs but key drivers of social and economic progress. For instance, the Code of Hammurabi provides a glimpse into early legal attempts to regulate contracts. By examining cuneiform tablets and papyrus documents, the book highlights how these societies transitioned from informal agreements to enforceable contracts, impacting economic growth and social stability.

 
The book is structured to guide readers through the earliest known contracts to the rise and fall of empires. It traces how contracts regulated trade, land ownership, and marriage, demonstrating how these ancient practices continue to shape our world. This study bridges history with law and political science, revealing how legal frameworks evolve in response to societal needs. What sets this book apart is its comparative approach, contrasting contractual practices across different societies to shed light on the diverse pathways that led to sophisticated legal and economic institutions.

    From the Duck Dynasty star and #1 New York Times bestselling author comes a rollicking popular history of fishing in America. 
    American Fisherman traces the impact fishing has had in shaping America’s history, and reveals the influential role it has played in defining our lives. Willie Robertson persuasively argues that America became what it is today in no small part because of the anglers that call it home. From harvesting New England cod to fly fishing for Yellowstone trout to raising Pacific Northwest salmon, the fishing industry has long played an essential role in the establishment of many of the nation’s earliest ports, most notably along the East Coast. Robertson explores how fishing has informed our culture, in literature, movies, and television, from classics like The Old Man and the Sea, A River Runs Through It, and Moby-Dick to The Perfect Storm, In the Heart of the Sea, and The Deadliest Catch, to popular local television fishing programs from coast to coast. 
    Robertson also analyzes the economics of this $50 billion annual business which supports a host of industries, including tourism and manufacturing, as well as conservationism. Told in Robertson’s charming down-home voice, American Fisherman is a spirited and unique look at America and its people.

    Before it was a religion, a culture, or even a system of meditation, what was Buddhism? On Buddhism Without Beliefs, celebrated teacher, translator, and former Buddhist monk Stephen Batchelor takes us back to the first years after the Buddha's awakening to reveal the root insights of Buddhism hidden beneath centuries of history and interpretation. In eight compelling sessions of self-inquiry—including many fascinating exercises and practices—we learn how to awaken and refine our senses, introduce the essential spirit of curiosity into the practice of awareness, and comprehend with both our hearts and our minds the Buddha's astonishing (and often misunderstood) revelations on emptiness, compassion, and the self. Before he died, the Buddha did not appoint a successor. He simply remarked that each of us must be responsible for our own freedom. Buddhism Without Beliefs is an invitation to hear what the Buddha taught—and to trust yourself on your own path to liberation.
