Summary

Peace Treaty Facts explores how peace treaties have shaped global politics, international relations, and conflict resolution throughout history. The book examines not just the historical context of these agreements but also their lasting impact, revealing the anatomy of peace treaties through their common elements, negotiation processes, and enforcement mechanisms. Readers will gain insight into how territorial adjustments, reparations, and security arrangements have been crucial for maintaining stability, while also learning about challenges such as compliance, monitoring, and dispute resolution.

 
The book delves into significant historical examples like the Treaty of Westphalia, the Treaty of Versailles, and the Dayton Agreement, illustrating diverse approaches to peacemaking and their varying degrees of success. It emphasizes that peace treaties, despite their limitations, represent consistent efforts to create a more stable world, providing lessons applicable across different geopolitical contexts. By drawing from primary and secondary sources, including treaty texts and diplomatic correspondence, the book provides a systematic analysis of peace treaties while maintaining an objective stance.

 
The book progresses by first introducing the core components of peace treaties, then analyzing historically significant examples, and finally, assessing the challenges of enforcement. This approach allows Peace Treaty Facts to explore the practical implications of studying such treaties for contemporary diplomacy, conflict prevention, and international law, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in history, political science, and peacemaking.

Liberalism as a Way of Life

Alexandre Lefebvre

Where do you get your values and sensibilities from? If you grew up in a Western democracy, the answer is probably liberalism. Conservatives are right about one thing: liberalism is the ideology of our times, as omnipresent as religion once was. Yet, as Alexandre Lefebvre argues in Liberalism as a Way of Life, many of us are liberal without fully realizing it—or grasping what it means. Misled into thinking that liberalism is confined to politics, we fail to recognize that it's the water we swim in, saturating every area of public and private life, shaping our psychological and spiritual outlooks, and influencing our moral and aesthetic values—our sense of what is right, wrong, good, bad, funny, worthwhile, and more. This eye-opening book shows how so many of us are liberal to the core, why liberalism provides the basis for a good life, and how we can make our lives better and happier by becoming more aware of, and more committed to, the beliefs we already hold. 
 
 
 
A lively, engaging, and uplifting guide to living well, the liberal way, Liberalism as a Way of Life is filled with examples from television, movies, stand-up comedy, and social media—from Parks and Recreation and The Good Place to the Borat movies and Hannah Gadsby. Along the way, you'll also learn about seventeen benefits of being a liberal and practical exercises to increase these rewards.

Ownership - The Evangelical...

Sean McGever

ECPA Top Shelf Book Cover Award
The Gospel Coalition Book Awards Award of Distinction–History and Biography
Men of their time?
Jonathan Edwards, John Wesley, and George Whitefield were the three most prominent early evangelicals—and all three were deeply compromised on the issue of slavery. Edwards and Whitefield both kept slaves themselves, and Wesley failed to speak out against slavery until near the end of his life.
In Ownership, Sean McGever tells the true story of these men's relationships to slavery: a story that has too often been passed over or buried in scholarly literature. Laying out the dominant attitudes among Christians toward slavery at the time, McGever sets these "men of their times" in their own context, inviting us to learn how these shapers of American evangelicalism contributed to the tragic history of racism in America. He also explores how Christians finally began to recognize that slavery, which they'd excused for most of Christian history, is actually wrong. It's a story that white evangelicals must wrestle with today.
Ownership is more than a book of history. It's an invitation to examine our own legacies and to understand—and take ownership of—both our heritage and our own part in the story.
