The History of the Peloponnesian War

Thucydides Thucydides

Summary

The History of the Peloponnesian War is a historical account of the Peloponnesian War (431–404 BC), which was fought between the Peloponnesian League (led by Sparta) and the Delian League (led by Athens). It was written by Thucydides, an Athenian historian who also served as an Athenian general during the war. His account of the conflict is widely considered to be a classic and regarded as one of the earliest scholarly works of history. The History is divided into eight books.

Thucydides  (c. 460 – c. 400 BC) was an Athenian historian and general. His History of the Peloponnesian War recounts the fifth-century BC war between Sparta and Athens until the year 411 BC. Thucydides has been dubbed the father of "scientific history" by those who accept his claims to have applied strict standards of impartiality and evidence-gathering and analysis of cause and effect, without reference to intervention by the gods, as outlined in his introduction to his work.

John Dewey, Philip W. Jackson

This edition brings Dewey’s educational theory into sharp focus, framing his two classic works by frank assessments, past and present, of the practical applications of Dewey’s ideas. In addition to a substantial introduction in which Philip W. Jackson explains why more of Dewey’s ideas haven’t been put into practice, this edition restores a “lost” chapter, dropped from the book by Dewey in 1915.

Bad Hombres - How Hispanics Will...

Steve Cortes

As Hispanic citizens rally to the political right, they will provide the economic, cultural, and political renaissance to save the American republic. 
 
 
 
Hispanics have moved materially to the political right in recent years—but why? What explains this marked and sustained shift? Bad Hombres details the radicalism of the modern Democratic Party, which has turned so many outcasts into political orphans. Steve Cortes provides evidence of the massive benefits of this Hispanic surge to the right. Cortes himself has been a key driver of this mass political movement, first as the lead Hispanic face of the 2016 and 2020 Trump campaigns, and presently as the primary Latino advocate for the New Right—patriotic populism. Given this vantage point, Cortes makes a powerful case that reveals how the teetering American nation will find a national rescue by entrepreneurial, tradition-minded Hispanic citizens.

Abuso

Miguel Vaquero

Es posible que conozcas a alguien que está en una relación con alguien que es emocionalmente abusivo, o podrías estar en una relación con alguien así. O tal vez no sabe cómo reconocerlo y tiene curiosidad por saber cómo reconocer las señales. Cualquiera que sea la razón, ha venido a la dirección correcta.Dado que está en todos los medios y las historias horribles resuenan a través de nuestros oídos empáticos, es casi obligatorio que cualquier civil comprensivo en la sociedad comprenda al menos algunos conceptos básicos cuando se trata de abuso sexual. Los hechos están ahí afuera, y realmente le está sucediendo a la gente en secreto y, a veces, sin ocultar nada. En este libro, aprenderá a comprender la realidad de este triste fenómeno en la sociedad.Es posible que algunos de nosotros hayamos pasado por eso y otros lo hayan visto en los hogares de otras personas. La violencia doméstica es un problema grave. Las estadísticas no mienten, pero tampoco son completamente precisas. Revelan a las víctimas que hablan, pero no a las que callan. Si se pregunta qué implica la violencia doméstica, qué hacer y cómo reconocerla, entonces ha venido al lugar correcto.En una parte del libro, hay un estudio, con las cuestiones específicas que se relacionan con las tendencias suicidas. Salen a la luz causas y consecuencias, y se hacen comparaciones entre países, individuos y desencadenantes que llevan a una persona en estado depresivo a contemplar lo impensable.Quizás no uno severo, pero el abuso verbal ocurre todo el tiempo. Cada vez que las personas son malas entre sí, en cierto grado, están abusando de otro con sus palabras. Pueden ser extraños, compañeros de trabajo, jefes, tu cónyuge, tus padres, tu novio o novia, o tus amigos.
