Sinopse

Xenophon's "Hellenica" serves as a crucial historical narrative that chronicles the final years of the Peloponnesian War and the ensuing events of the Greek world up to 362 BCE. Written with a clear, engaging prose style, the work exhibits Xenophon's unique perspective as both a soldier and a historian, combining firsthand observation with extensive research. Unlike Thucydides' more analytical approach, Xenophon's narrative is infused with a sense of moral inquiry and character analysis, reflecting the tumultuous political landscape of post-war Greece and showcasing significant figures like Socrates, Alcibiades, and the Spartan leaders. The text is not merely a historical account; it is an exploration of ethical leadership amidst civic strife, placing it firmly within the tradition of classical historiography. Xenophon, an Athenian-born soldier, philosopher, and student of Socrates, drew upon his experiences in various military campaigns and his disdain for the chaotic political environment of his time to compose "Hellenica." His background in philosophy profoundly influenced his insights into leadership and virtue, shaping his interpretations of historical events. Living in a transitional period marked by the decline of Athenian power, his work reflects both his love for Greece and his desire to provide an enduring evaluation of its political and ethical conditions. "Hellenica" is essential reading for those interested in ancient Greek history, military strategy, and ethical philosophy. Its multifaceted approach renders it not only a source of historical knowledge but also a profound commentary on the nature of power and morality. Readers seeking to understand the foundations of Western thought and leadership will find Xenophon's exploration illuminating and relevant.

    Invisible No More - Voices from...

    For too long, Native American people in the United States have been stereotyped as vestiges of the past, invisible citizens in their own land obliged to remind others, "We are still here!" Yet today, Native leaders are at the center of social change, challenging philanthropic organizations that have historically excluded Native people, and fighting for economic and environmental justice. 
     
     
     
    Invisible No More is a collection of stories by Native American leaders, many of them women, who are leading the way through cultural grounding and nation-building in the areas of community, environmental justice, and economic justice. Authors in the collection come from over a dozen Native nations. While telling their stories, authors excavate the history and ongoing effects of genocide and colonialism. At the same time, the authors detail ways that listeners might imagine the world differently, presenting stories of Native community building that offer benefits for all. 
     
     
     
    In a world facing a mounting climate crisis and record economic inequality, Invisible No More exposes the deep wounds of a racist past while offering a powerful call to care for one another and the planet. Indigenous communities have much to offer, not the least of which are solutions gleaned from cultural knowledge developed over generations.

    Running After Paradise - Hope...

    Brazil’s Atlantic Forest is a paradise to many. In Southern Bahia, surfers, billionaires, travelers, and hippies mingle with environmentalists, family farmers, quilombolas (descendants of formerly enslaved people), and nativos, or “locals.” Each of these groups has connections to the unique environment, culture, and character of this region as their home, their source of a livelihood, or perhaps their vacation escape. And while these connections sometimes converge, at other times they clash. 
    The pressures on this tropical forest are palpable, and people’s responses to these pressures are also varied. What was once the state’s economic mainstay, cacao production, is only now beginning to make a comeback after a disease decimated the crops of large and small farmers alike. Tourism, another economic hope, is susceptible to economic crises and pandemics. And the threat of a massive state-led infrastructure project involving mining, a railroad, and an international port has loomed over the region for well over a decade. 
    Southern Bahia is at a crossroads: develop a sustainable, forest-based economy or risk losing the identity and soul of this place forevermore. Through the lives of environmentalists, farmers, quilombolas, and nativos—people who are in and of this place—this book brings the people alive who are grappling with this dilemma. 
    Anthropologist Colleen M. Scanlan Lyons brings the eye of a storyteller to present this complex struggle, weaving in her own challenges of balancing family and fieldwork alongside the stories of the people who live in this dynamic region. Intertwined tales, friendships, and hope emerge as people both struggle to sustain their lives in a biodiversity hotspot and strive to create their paradise. 
    For those interested, this book is also available in e-book and physical print formats, which contain the table of contents, maps, acknowledgements, pictures of the people and stories featured, footnotes, references, and an index.

    Houston, we have a problem. The largest city in Texas has a wild west past filled with dodgy criminals and murderous madmen. 
     
     
      
    When the Allen brothers sold Houston's first lots, the city became a magnet for enterprising tycoons and opportunistic crooks alike. As the young city grew, a scourge of crime and vice accompanied the success of oil and real estate. The Bayou City's seedy side—flashing Bowie knives, privileged bad boys, hardened prostitutes, and unchecked serial killers—established its hold. From a young Clyde Barrow to the Man Who Killed Halloween, Houston's past is filled with bloody tales, heartbreaking loss, and despicable deeds. Authors Mike Vance and John Nova Lomax shine a light on these dark days.
