Summary

In 'Lays of Ancient Rome,' Thomas Babington Macaulay masterfully revitalizes historical narratives through richly woven verse, capturing the valor and tumult of ancient Roman figures. Employing a rhythmic and accessible poetic style, Macaulay infuses his work with vivid imagery and passionate rhetoric, allowing readers to vividly experience Rome'Äôs storied past. The collection is not merely a historical account but an interpretation, evoking a sense of national pride while exploring the moral and ethical underpinnings of Roman civilization, making it pertinent to the Victorian context in which it was written. Macaulay, a prominent British historian and statesman, was deeply influenced by his classical education and his belief in the moral imperative of history. His engagement with the themes of liberty, sacrifice, and the virtues of ancient civilization presents a reflection of his own time's challenges and aspirations. His experiences in politics and literature informed his perspective, propelling him to merge history with poetic form to both entertain and educate the public. Readers seeking a profound yet engaging exploration of ancient history through the lens of poetry will find 'Lays of Ancient Rome' an indispensable addition to their literary canon. Macaulay's evocative language and stirring narratives not only resonate with historical significance but also inspire a timeless reflection on courage and virtue.

    Food is more than just nutrition. Its preparation, presentation and consumption is a multifold communicative practice which includes the meal's design and its whole field of experience. How is food represented in cookbooks, product packaging or in paintings? How is dining semantically charged? How is the sensuality of eating treated in different cultural contexts? In order to acknowledge the material and media-related aspects of eating as a cultural praxis, experts from media studies, art history, literary studies, philosophy, experimental psychology, anthropology, food studies, cultural studies and design studies share their specific approaches.

    How America Worksand Why It...

    Twenty-first-century America isn’t working the way it’s supposed to. 
This book explains why. 
Americans in the twenty-first century are becoming increasingly untethered from both reality and the essential principles and traditions that have shaped the nation’s historic success. A big part of why America isn’t working is because far too many Americans neither know nor care how it’s supposed to work. 
“William Cooper presents an insightful, sensitive, and accessible account of the trials that face American democracy in the twenty-first century. This fair- and broad-minded volume makes compelling reading for those who are looking to build a better democracy.” Alexander Yen, Department of Politics and International Relations, University of Oxford 
“Partisanship fuels personal convictions more than ever in our society, and convictions fuel mysided thinking and other cognitive biases. At no time have we needed this discussion of bias and partisan thinking more than now.” Keith E. Stanovich, author of The Bias That Divides Us 
“William Cooper logically and authoritatively takes you step by step through all the reasons a President Trump couldn’t imprison his enemies, pardon his friends, overrule judges, weaponize the Department of Justice, prosecute Joe Biden, or order the military to enforce his unconstitutional actions” Cleveland Plain Dealer 
“William Cooper is an insightful and thought-provoking writer about US politics. He deserves to be widely read.” Thomas Plate, former Editorial Page Editor, Los Angeles Times 
"In How America Works . . . and Why It Doesn’t, William Cooper gives a thoughtful, readable guide to what ails American democracy. Required reading for any student of political science.” Uri Kaufman, author of Eighteen Days in October 
"A must-read. His well-written and brief book covers a lot of important ground in a learned but accessible manner. Probably most noteworthy, though, is his astute and fair judgment―the book is not a polemic for the left or the right, but rather a fair appraisal of the strengths and weaknesses of both. I highly recommend reading it―it is an enjoyable tour of key aspects of history (as well as current events), ethics, political philosophy, constitutional law, environmental science, and cognitive psychology―all told in a lucid, efficient way." William O'Donohue, PhD, Professor, University of Nevada, Reno

“The Comanche Perspective” illuminates one of the most infamous events in early Texas history—the Council House Fight. Traditionally portrayed through a narrow, one-sided lens, this book challenges the conventional narrative by exploring the complex web of cultural misunderstandings and mounting tensions between the Penateka Comanche and the Texians. Drawing on diverse perspectives and in-depth research, it reveals how mutual distrust and hostility led to the tragic clash on March 19, 1840. By shedding light on the shared responsibilities and deep-seated grievances that fueled this violent encounter, “The Comanche Perspective” provides a fresh and balanced understanding of a crucial moment in the history of the American frontier.

    Rome Reawakened concludes the Twilight Reshaped trilogy by exploring the long arc of Rome's cultural, political, and philosophical legacy across time and space. Set in a world where Rome's ideals have evolved into a planetary civilization and beyond, this final volume examines how the Republic reinvents itself through artificial intelligence, democratic rebirths, decentralized governance, and interstellar memory. Through rich storytelling and speculative insights, it asks the enduring question: What does it mean for a civilization to never fall—but to change forever? This is not just the story of Rome. It is the story of every society that dares to carry the past into the future without being defined by it.
