Summary

Greek Legacy explores the enduring influence of ancient Greece on Western Civilization, focusing on philosophy, politics, and science. It argues that Greece provided both the initial spark and continuous inspiration for Western thought. The book examines how Greek innovations such as Athenian Democracy shaped modern governance and how figures like Euclid revolutionized mathematics.

 
The book progresses chronologically, beginning with the Bronze Age and continuing through the Roman period. It analyzes primary sources like Plato and Aristotle, along with archaeological findings, to understand Greek contributions. Intriguingly, Greek political systems evolved from monarchy to democracy, influencing modern governance, and their scientific advancements laid the groundwork for future discoveries.

 
Structured into three sections, the book covers the socio-political context, political innovations, and scientific achievements of ancient Greece. It reveals how key philosophical concepts emerged and how Greek advancements in astronomy and medicine continue to impact modern practices. This approach offers a holistic view of Greek influence, providing a deeper understanding of Western civilization's roots.

    Spies and Lies a groundbreaking exposé of elite influence operations by China's little-known Ministry of State Security. Revealing for the first time how the Chinese Communist Party has tasked its spies to deceive the world, it challenges the conventional account of China's past, present, and future. 
 
 
 
Mere years ago, Western governments chose to cooperate with China in the hope that it would liberalize, setting aside concerns about human rights abuses, totalitarian ambitions, and espionage. But the axiom of China's 'peaceful rise' has been fundamentally challenged by the Chinese Communist Party's authoritarian behavior under Xi Jinping. How did we get it wrong for so long? 
 
 
 
Spies and Lies pierces the Ministry of State Security's walls of secrecy and reveals how agents of the Chinese Communist Party have spent decades manipulating the West's attitudes—from an Australian prime minister to the US Congress, prominent think tanks, and the FBI—about China's rise. Through interviews with defectors and intelligence officers, classified Chinese intelligence documents, and original investigations, the book unmasks dozens of active Chinese intelligence officers along with global MSS fronts, including travel agencies, writers' associations, publishing houses, alumni associations, newspapers, a Buddhist temple, a record company, and charities.

  • The Fallacies of Racism - Understanding How Common Perceptions Uphold White Supremacy 1st Edition - cover

    The Fallacies of Racism -...

    Everyone has an opinion on racism. The vast majority of people would vehemently deny that they or those close to them are "racist," yet many of the most common understandings of racism are highly problematic. "If you mean no harm, then it can't be racist." Yes, it can. "There are anti-discrimination laws now, so racism no longer occurs." Incorrect. "Some of my best friends are Black, so I can't be racist." Not true. 
 
 
  
In this sharp, open-minded, and witty book, sociologist Jennifer Patrice Sims succinctly addresses these problematic perceptions of racism as fallacies. Building on existing academic theories and drawing on her own cross-national research, two decades of teaching, and analyses of contemporary issues, she delves into the most common and insidious fallacies about racism. In revealing them to be rooted in what scholars call an "epistemology of ignorance," she shows how these perceptions justify and uphold white supremacy (inadvertently or otherwise). 
 
 
 
Accessibly written and full of concrete examples, this book will be of great value to anyone who wants to understand the common misunderstandings about racism that frustrate contemporary politics, classrooms, workplaces, and dinner tables.

    The One and the Many - Studies...

    The question of where ultimacy lies should be central to the Christian. It is easy to see the social implications of allowing priority to fall to either the one or the many. This volume examines in-depth the Christian solution to the problem of the one and the many - the Trinitarian God. Only in the godhead is this dilemma resolved. Only in the Trinity does there reside an equal ultimacy of unity and plurality. Rushdoony examines the history of Western thought from the standpoint of the one and the many and demonstrates clearly that the most astute thinkers were unable to resolve this philosophical conflict. What is needed now is a complete return to the Trinitarian view of God and its implications for a Christian social order.
