Summary

Virgil's Poetic Legacy explores the profound and lasting impact of Virgil's poetry, particularly the Aeneid, on European literary tradition, civic values, and education systems. The book argues that Virgil's works were not merely literary masterpieces but foundational texts that actively shaped the cultural and political landscape of Europe for over two millennia. 

 
One intriguing insight is how Virgil's poetry provided a framework for interpreting history and justifying political power across different eras. Another is the role of the Aeneid in instilling values of duty, piety, and leadership in generations of European elites.

 
This study uniquely emphasizes the active role of Virgil's poetry in shaping European identity and institutions, moving beyond a purely literary analysis to explore the practical applications and political implications of his work. The book begins by introducing Virgil's major works and their initial reception, then investigates the appropriation of Virgilian themes by later European writers, and culminates by examining Virgil's legacy in contemporary literature and political discourse.

 
By connecting to fields such as political science, history of education, and comparative literature, it offers diverse perspectives on Virgil's enduring impact, making it valuable for anyone interested in the intellectual foundations of European civilization.

Foolproof - Why Misinformation...

Sander van der Linden

From fake news to conspiracy theories, from inflammatory memes to misleading headlines, misinformation has swiftly become the defining problem of our era. The crisis threatens the integrity of our democracies, our ability to cultivate trusting relationships, even our physical and psychological well-being—yet most attempts to combat it have proven insufficient.With remarkable clarity, Sander van der Linden explains why our brains are so vulnerable to misinformation. Like a virus, misinformation infects our minds, exploiting shortcuts in how we see and process information to alter our beliefs, modify our memories, and replicate at astonishing rates. Once the virus takes hold, it's very hard to cure.But we aren't helpless. As van der Linden shows based on award-winning original research, we can cultivate immunity through the innovative science of "prebunking": inoculating people against false information by preemptively exposing them to a weakened dose, thus empowering them to identify and fend off its manipulative tactics. Deconstructing the characteristic techniques of conspiracies and misinformation, van der Linden gives listeners practical tools to defend themselves and others against nefarious persuasion—whether at scale or around their own dinner table.

Beyond Proportionality -...

Thane Rosenbaum

Imagine a war without battlefields. There are no uniforms. Civilians and combatants are indistinguishable. Homes, schools, hospitals, and religious buildings are used as command and communication centers, and for the warehousing of weapons. Apartment rooftops are launching pads; the civilians who live inside . . . human shields. There are over 300 miles of reinforced tunnels, all outfitted with weapons and passageways for terrorists to take hostages and travel freely. 
 
 
 
Beyond Proportionality examines Israel's battles against Hamas and Hezbollah under the laws of war and concludes that its wartime conduct was based on military necessity and fought justly. The targets are terrorists, weapons, and tunnels—not civilians. Israel relies upon verifiable intelligence, deploys precise weapons, and endangers its own soldiers in order to minimize civilian death. 
 
 
 
The bombings over Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and Dresden, and the urban warfare in Iraq and Afghanistan, produced large numbers of civilian dead that were not considered acts of genocide; the war in Gaza was no different.
