Beschreibung

Senate Role Structure offers a comprehensive analysis of the Roman Senate, a pivotal political institution throughout Roman history. It examines not only the Senate's formal procedures and legislative function but also the persistent factionalism and internal divisions that shaped its decisions. The book reveals how external influences, such as popular assemblies, military leaders, and emperors, continuously redefined the Senate's authority, challenging simplistic views of the Senate as either all-powerful or merely symbolic. One intriguing fact is how patronage networks significantly influenced senatorial debates.

 
The book's approach is to dissect the procedural and legislative function of the Roman Senate across its vast history. It progresses by first outlining the Senate's formal structure, then delving into internal divisions, and finally analyzing external influences. By drawing on primary sources and modern scholarship, the book provides a balanced and nuanced perspective on the Senate's governance and political systems within the Roman Republic and Roman Empire.

 
Understanding the Roman Senate offers valuable insights into maintaining institutional power amid internal strife and external pressures.

Awakening Osiris - The Spiritual...

Normandi Ellis

“Awakening Osiris is a perennial, a classic in the combined realm of Egyptology, spirituality, and pure literary achievement.” —Kathleen McGowan, New York Times bestselling author of The Expected One   “Awakening Osiris is not only a translation and a book of Egyptian religion, but also a spiritual work that will serve many Pagans as a prayer book of sorts, a book of meditations—something not to be read and left on the shelf, but to return to repeatedly.” —Judika Illes, author of Encyclopedia of Spirits   A beautiful and engaging rendering of The Egyptian Book of the Dead that reveals the soul and spirit of Egypt   The Egyptian Book of the Dead is one of the oldest and greatest classics of Western spirituality. With Awakening Osiris, Ellis has transformed the ancient stories told through hieroglyphs for modern readers and approaches the Book of the Dead as a profound spiritual text capable of speaking to us today. These writings suggest that the divine realm and the human realm are not altogether separate; they remind us that the natural world—the substance of our lives—is fashioned from the stuff of the gods.   This edition replaces the previous edition (ISBN 978-0933999749) and contains a new introduction and study guide by the author.

Retrospective on the Gulf - The...

Neal Conan

It was phenomenally successful in the air, strikingly decisive on the ground—and suddenly the war in the Persian Gulf was over, with an overwhelming victory for the allied forces. But what really happened? Why did the air war work so well? Why did the massive, allied casualties many predicted for the ground phase never materialize? Why was it all so easy when American intelligence had said it would be so hard? And what was the impact of using a war plan devised to fight the Warsaw Pact against a developing nation? On this thought-provoking recording, some of NPR's top reporters—Neal Conan, Deborah Amos, Ted Clark, and Anne Garrels—examine these and other questions from the Gulf War.

The Viking Saga - Discovering...

Odessa Nightshade

The mythology of the Norsemen is a tapestry woven with gods, giants, heroes, and creatures, shaping the beliefs and culture of the Viking Age. Rooted in oral tradition, these stories were passed down through generations, evolving over time yet retaining their essence. Norse myths explain the creation of the world, the forces that govern existence, and the inevitable fate that awaits all beings, including the gods themselves. Unlike many mythologies that depict their deities as all-powerful, Norse mythology embraces the concept of struggle, destiny, and the impermanence of even the mightiest figures.
At the heart of Norse mythology is a pantheon of gods divided into two main groups: the Aesir and the Vanir. The Aesir, led by Odin, are associated with war, wisdom, and governance, while the Vanir, including Freyja and Njord, are linked to fertility and prosperity. Though originally at odds, these two factions eventually united, reflecting the Viking worldview of balance between opposing forces. Alongside these deities are powerful figures such as Loki, the trickster, and the Norns, who weave the fates of gods and men alike.
The Norse cosmos is structured around Yggdrasil, the World Tree, which connects the Nine Realms. These include Asgard, the home of the gods; Midgard, the realm of humans; and Hel, the domain of the dead. This vast and interconnected universe embodies the Viking understanding of life as an intricate web of cause and effect, where fate is both inescapable and deeply intertwined with personal action.

Busting the Brass Ceiling - How...

Fanchon Blake, Linden Gross

A policewoman chronicles her historic legal battle against sexism within the LAPD in this “valuable . . . and at times, frightening” memoir (Kirkus Reviews). Former Army major Fanchon Blake dreamed of becoming a top cop. She joined the LAPD in 1948, confident that her efforts and talent would be rewarded. Instead, despite long hours and high achievement ratings, Blake—like all other women on the force—was denied promotion time and again. Over the years, the tenacious officer challenged the LAPD’s discriminatory agenda from within. Eventually, she broke the “blue wall of silence” by going to the press. And when all else failed, Blake saw one last chance to effect change: she filed a complaint against the LAPD with the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in 1973. What followed was a harrowing struggle against discrimination that would make history for women and other minority groups. Despite the ensuing verbal abuse, silent treatment, and intimidation, Blake pushed on. Seven years later, her heroic efforts would finally make it possible for women to bust through the brass ceiling.
