Summary

"Proverbs of Ages" presents a fascinating exploration of how ancient wisdom, preserved through cultural proverbs, continues to influence human behavior and decision-making across societies.Through an analysis of over 10,000 proverbs from 200 cultures, the book reveals remarkable parallels in life lessons and behavioral guidance across geographically separated communities, suggesting universal patterns in human problem-solving approaches. The book uniquely combines traditional anthropological research with modern computational linguistics and cognitive science to demonstrate how proverbs function as compressed cultural algorithms. These sayings package complex behavioral strategies into memorable forms, addressing recurring challenges in areas like resource management, conflict resolution, and social cooperation.The research draws from diverse sources, including archaeological evidence, historical documents, and contemporary field studies, to trace how these wisdom traditions have evolved and persisted through generations. Progressing through four main sections, the work begins with theoretical foundations linking language, cognition, and behavior, before diving into comparative cultural analyses and transmission mechanisms. The final section explores practical applications in fields ranging from education to artificial intelligence.What sets this research apart is its systematic cross-cultural analysis and interdisciplinary approach, making it valuable for both academic researchers and practitioners in fields like cross-cultural communication and cultural competency training.

    The Busybody is the most popular comedy by the eighteenth-century playwright Susanna Centlivre. The play centres on two couples trying to form a relationship against the wills of their guardians, and in a battle of wits, playing with many conventions from theatre traditions across the continent, a conclusion is eventually reached.
    Like her predecessor Aphra Behn, Centlivre was immensely successful in her day, drawing huge crowds to extended runs of her numerous plays, but the stabbing male pens of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries decried her work as being louche and dangerous, and her name slowly sunk into obscurity.
    This edition, published with William Hazlitt's prefatory note and extra material on Centlivre's life and writing, seeks to highlight the dexterity with which she took on the stage.

    Named one of Newsweek’s ""25 Must-Read Fall Fiction and Nonfiction Books to Escape the Chaos of 2020"" 
    The critically acclaimed journalist and bestselling author of The Rage of a Privileged Class explores one of the most essential rights in America—free speech—and reveals how it is crumbling under the combined weight of polarization, technology, money and systematized lying in this concise yet powerful and timely book. 
     
    Free speech has long been one of American's most revered freedoms. Yet now, more than ever, free speech is reshaping America’s social and political landscape even as it is coming under attack. Bestselling author and critically acclaimed journalist Ellis Cose wades into the debate to reveal how this Constitutional right has been coopted by the wealthy and politically corrupt.  
    It is no coincidence that historically huge disparities in income have occurred at times when moneyed interests increasingly control political dialogue. Over the past four years, Donald Trump’s accusations of “fake news,” the free use of negative language against minority groups, “cancel culture,” and blatant xenophobia have caused Americans to question how far First Amendment protections can—and should—go. 
    Cose offers an eye-opening wholly original examination of the state of free speech in America today, litigating ideas that touch on every American’s life. Social media meant to bring us closer, has become a widespread disseminator of false information keeping people of differing opinions and political parties at odds. The nation—and world—watches in shock as white nationalism rises, race and gender-based violence spreads, and voter suppression widens. The problem, Cose makes clear, is that ordinary individuals have virtually no voice at all. He looks at the danger of hyper-partisanship and how the discriminatory structures that determine representation in the Senate and the electoral college threaten the very concept of democracy. He argues that the safeguards built into the Constitution to protect free speech and democracy have instead become instruments of suppression by an unfairly empowered political minority. 
    But we can take our rights back, he reminds us. Analyzing the experiences of other countries, weaving landmark court cases together with a critical look at contemporary applications, and invoking the lessons of history, including the Great Migration, Cose sheds much-needed light on this cornerstone of American culture and offers a clarion call for activism and change.
