Complete Works - Anabasis Cyropaedia Hellenica Agesilaus Defense of Socrates The Polity of the Athenians…

Xenophon

Sinopse

Xenophon's "Complete Works" presents a comprehensive anthology of his writings, encapsulating a rich tapestry of Greek philosophy, history, and military strategy. This collection includes seminal texts such as "Anabasis," detailing his arduous journey with the Ten Thousand, and "Oeconomicus," a treatise on household management that explores the intersection of economics and ethics. Written in a lucid and engaging prose style, Xenophon'Äôs works reflect the intellectual currents of classical Athens and offer invaluable insights into contemporary Greek society, politics, and the art of leadership. Xenophon of Athens (circa 430-354 BCE) was not only a historian and philosopher but also a soldier who shared unique firsthand experiences, profoundly influencing both contemporaneous thought and later generations. His background as a student of Socrates, coupled with his own experiences in the Persian military campaigns, equipped him with a distinctive perspective that he articulates masterfully through his writings. Often seen as a practical counterpart to Plato, Xenophon'Äôs works delve into the moral and ethical dimensions of leadership and citizenship which resonated deeply with audiences of his time. For readers seeking a deeper understanding of ancient Greek philosophy and the socio-political realities of the era, "Complete Works" stands as an essential resource. It invites both scholars and casual readers alike to engage with the thoughts of a pivotal figure whose contemplations on virtue, duty, and governance remain strikingly relevant. Xenophon'Äôs eloquent prose and incisive observations will enrich any literary exploration of Greek antiquity.

Vladimir Lenin, H. G. Wells

Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, better known as Vladimir Lenin, was a Russian revolutionary, politician, and political theorist. He served as the first and founding head of government of Soviet Russia from 1917 to 1924 and of the Soviet Union from 1922 to 1924. Under his administration, Russia, and later the Soviet Union, became a one-party socialist state governed by the Communist Party. Ideologically a Marxist, his developments to the ideology are called Leninism.
Russia in the Shadows is a book by H. G. Wells published early in 1921, which includes a series of articles previously printed in The Sunday Express in connection with Wells's second visit to Russia (after a previous trip in January 1914 to St. Petersburg and Moscow) in September and October 1920.
During his visit to Russia he visited his old friend Maxim Gorky, whom he had first met in 1906 on a trip to the United States, and who arranged Wells's meeting with Lenin.
In a chapter (The Dreamer in the Kremlin) devoted to an interview with Lenin at the Kremlin Wells describes the leader and founder of Russian communism. Wells portrays Lenin as a pragmatic leader who "has recently stripped off the last pretence that the Russian revolution is anything more than the inauguration of an age of limitless experiment."

The Deadly Rise of Anti-science...

M.D. Peter J. Hotez

During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, one renowned scientist, in his famous bowtie, appeared daily on major news networks such as MSNBC, NPR, the BBC, and others.

Dr. Peter J. Hotez often went without sleep, working around the clock to develop a nonprofit COVID-19 vaccine and to keep the public informed. During that time, he was one of the most trusted voices on the pandemic and was even nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize for
his selfless work. He also became one of the main targets of anti-science rhetoric that gained traction through conservative news media.

In this eyewitness story of how the anti-vaccine movement grew into a dangerous and prominent anti-science element in American politics, Hotez describes the devastating impacts it has had on Americans’ health and lives. As a scientist who has endured antagonism from anti-vaxxers and been at the forefront of both essential scientific discovery and advocacy, Hotez is uniquely qualified to tell this story. By weaving his personal experiences together with information on how the anti-vaccine movement became a tool of far-right political figures around the world, Hotez opens readers’ eyes to the dangers of anti-science. He explains how anti-science became a major societal and lethal force: in the first years of the pandemic, more than 200,000 unvaccinated Americans needlessly died despite the widespread availability of COVID-19 vaccines. Even as he paints a picture of the world under a shadow of aggressive ignorance, Hotez demonstrates his innate optimism, offering solutions for how to combat science denial and save lives in the process.
