Sinopsis

Honor-Based Commitments explores the critical role of promise-keeping and personal accountability in shaping societies and individual character. It examines the historical evolution of honor codes across different cultures, from ancient civilizations to modern times, revealing how societies have defined and enforced these principles. Readers will discover how upholding commitments builds trust, strengthens relationships, and fosters social stability, while broken promises erode these vital foundations. The book delves into the philosophical underpinnings of moral obligation, drawing from ethical frameworks like deontology and virtue ethics to understand why honoring commitments is considered a moral imperative. It demonstrates how adherence to, or violation of, promises has had significant consequences throughout history, shaping political and military strategies, impacting economic development, and creating ethical dilemmas. By integrating historical analysis with philosophical reflection, the book offers a nuanced exploration of the complexities inherent in fulfilling commitments. The book progresses systematically, beginning with core concepts and moving through case studies to demonstrate that a commitment to one's word is essential for a just and prosperous society and is key to personal well-being, especially in an era marked by cynicism and eroding trust. It provides a balanced perspective, acknowledging competing viewpoints and supporting claims with credible sources, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in history, ethics, and leadership.

    In two previous highly regarded books on the US Senate, Ira Shapiro chronicled the institution from its apogee in the 1970s through its decline in the decades since. Now, Shapiro turns his gaze to how the Senate responded to the challenges posed by the Trump administration and its prospects under President Biden. The Founding Fathers gave the US Senate many functions, but it had one fundamental responsibility—its raison d'etre: to provide the check against a dangerous president who threatened our democracy. Two hundred and thirty years later, when Donald Trump, a potential authoritarian, finally reached the White House, the Senate should have served as both America's first and last lines of defense. Instead, we had the nightmare scenario: today's Senate, reduced through a long period of decline to a hyper-partisan, gridlocked shadow of its former self, was unable to meet its fundamental responsibility. Shapiro documents the pivotal challenges facing the Senate during the Trump administration, arguing that the body's failure to provide leadership represents the most catastrophic failure of government in American history. The last section covers the Senate's performance during President Biden's first year in office and looks forward to the 2022 Senate elections and beyond.

    Between Two Rivers - Ancient...

    Thousands of years ago, in a part of the world we now call ancient Mesopotamia, people began writing things down for the very first time. 
     
     
     
    What they left behind, in a vast region between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, preserves leaps in human ingenuity. But they also capture breathtakingly intimate, raw, and relatable moments, like a dog's paw prints as it accidentally stepped into fresh clay, or the imprint of a child's teeth. 
     
     
     
    In Between Two Rivers, historian Dr. Moudhy Al-Rashid reveals what these ancient people chose to record about their lives. We find a lullaby to soothe a baby, countless receipts for beer, and the messy writing of preschoolers. We meet an enslaved person negotiating their freedom, an astronomer tracing the movement of the planets, a princess who may have created the world's first museum, and a working mother struggling with "the juggle" in 1900 BCE. 
     
     
     
    Millennia ago, Mesopotamians saw the world's first cities, the first writing system, early seeds of agriculture, and groundbreaking developments in medicine and astronomy. With breathtaking intimacy and grace, Al-Rashid brings their lives―with all their anxieties, aspirations, and intimacies―vividly close to our own.

    A brilliant look at colonialism and its effects in Antigua—by the author of Annie John 
     
     
     
    "If you go to Antigua as a tourist, this is what you will see. If you come by aeroplane, you will land at the V. C. Bird International Airport. Vere Cornwall (V. C.) Bird is the Prime Minister of Antigua. You may be the sort of tourist who would wonder why a Prime Minister would want an airport named after him—why not a school, why not a hospital, why not some great public monument. You are a tourist and you have not yet seen . . ." 
     
     
     
    So begins Jamaica Kincaid's expansive essay, which shows us what we have not yet seen of the ten-by-twelve-mile island in the British West Indies where she grew up. 
     
     
     
    Lyrical, sardonic, and forthright by turns, in a Swiftian mode, A Small Place cannot help but amplify our vision of one small place and all that it signifies.
