Sinopse

"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.

This book helps you identify your unique personality type, so you can find the hacks and tweaks that will actually work as you strive to manage stress and reignite your passion for working with students.

Psychologist Rebecca Branstetter gives you solutions that you can use while you work, so you don't have to sacrifice your scarce downtime. 
     
     
     
    Large-scale approaches to preventing educator burnout often fail to consider an important fact—educators are individuals, and no one-size-fits-all solution will fit everyone.

This book accounts for what makes you who you are, giving you options, ideas, and proven strategies that set you up for success. 
     
      
     
    This book isn't just about understanding who you are. It's about preventing burnout by aligning your work with your core strengths, values, and habits. All K-12 educators will benefit from this balanced approach to work, fostering self-compassion, mindfulness, and resilience.

    Bruce Goldfarb spent ten years with Maryland's Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, where every sudden or unattended death in the state is scrutinized. 
     
     
     
    Touching on numerous scandals, including Derek Chauvin's trial for the murder of George Floyd and the tragic killing in police custody of Freddie Gray, Goldfarb pulls back the curtain on a pioneer institution in crisis. 
     
     
     
    Medical examiners and the investigators and technicians who support them play vital roles in the justice and public health systems of every American community. During Goldfarb's time with the Maryland OCME, opioid-related deaths contributed to a significant increase in their workload. Faced with a chronic shortage of qualified experts and inadequate funding, their important and fascinating work has become more challenging than most people could ever imagine. 
     
     
     
    The public gets a skewed view of the relationship between police and medical examiners from procedural crime dramas, Bruce Goldfarb writes of his work inside one of America's most storied forensic centers. We aren't on the same team . . . We aren't on any team. The medical examiner’s sole duty is to the deceased person. We speak for the dead.

    Years after her successful and impactful career at the CIA, Christina Hillsberg became enthralled with the stories of the trailblazing women who forged new paths within the Agency long before she began her career there in the aughts. These were women who sacrificed their personal lives, risked their safety, defied expectations, and boldly navigated the male-dominated spy organization. 
     
     
     
    Through exclusive interviews with current and former female CIA officers, many of whom have never spoken publicly, Agents of Change tells an enthralling and, at times, disturbing story set against the backdrop of the evolving women's movement. It was the 1960s, a "secretarial" era, when women first gained a foothold and pushed against the one-dimensional, pop-culture trope of the sexy Cold War Bond Girl. Underestimated but undaunted, they fought their way, decade-by-decade, through adversity to the top of the spy game. 
     
     
     
    Seamlessly weaving together the individual stories of these exceptional women, Hillsberg deftly tackles not just the fight for gender equality at the CIA, but the current dilemma the Agency faces when dealing with the culmination of a decades-long culture of sexual harassment and assault.

    In Boston, 1776, author J. D. Dickey leads us through the turbulent streets, tub-thumping taverns, and radical strongholds of a town at war with an empire. Far from the powdered wigs and genteel debates of history textbooks, this book guides us through the real Boston of the American Revolution: frenzied, dangerous, and fiercely alive.Join the crowds in taprooms where rebel plots were hatched. Stand with patriots as they sharpen bayonets on Bunker Hill, and watch as Loyalists get tarred and feathered. Drink the rum made on the town docks, sample the sinful in the city's back alleys, and gaze at John Hancock's mansion gleaming above gritty streets filled with the almshouse, workhouse, and jail.From the harbor wharves and seedy brothels to renowned assembly halls like Old South Meetinghouse and Faneuil Hall, Boston, 1776 leads us on a vivid tour of the vital hub of the Revolutionary War. We encounter iconic names like Revere and Adams, but also the forgotten men and women who bled and brawled for freedom in every corner of Boston.Upon America's 250th anniversary, Boston, 1776 portrays the Cradle of Liberty and the American Revolution as never before: raw, radical, and roaring with life.
