Sinossi

In "The Complete Works of Xenophon," readers are presented with a comprehensive anthology of the diverse writings of the ancient Greek historian, philosopher, and soldier. This collection includes seminal texts such as "Anabasis," which chronicles his journey and adventures with the Ten Thousand'Äîa contingent of Greek mercenaries'Äîand the "Memorabilia," which serves as a defense of Socrates and an exploration of his philosophical teachings. Employing a lucid yet engaging literary style, Xenophon'Äôs works meld firsthand historical narratives with insights into political philosophy and ethical conduct, reflecting the complexities of Greek culture during a turbulent epoch. The meticulous compilation showcases his contributions to the understanding of leadership, warfare, and personal integrity, situated against the backdrop of Classical philosophy and early historiography. Xenophon, a contemporary of Plato, was profoundly influenced by his experiences as a soldier and a pupil of Socrates. His unique position as both an observer and participant in Hellenistic conflicts imbued his writings with a duality: a practical, experiential approach to history intertwined with thoughtful philosophical inquiry. His affluence and aristocratic connections provided him access to significant cultural and political figures, greatly enriching the narratives found in his works. Recommended for scholars and casual readers alike, "The Complete Works of Xenophon" stands as a vital contribution to the study of ancient literature and philosophy. It offers not only a window into the intellect and values of an era but also pertinent lessons that continue to resonate in contemporary discussions on leadership and ethical governance. This anthology is an essential addition to any library, inviting readers to engage with the profound thoughts of one of antiquity's most influential figures.

    John Bowlby transformed how we understand love, loss, and the bonds that shape us. As the father of attachment theory, he reshaped psychology, parenting, and modern therapy—yet the man behind the science carried mysteries of his own. 
Searching for Bowlby traces his journey from an emotionally distant childhood to a pioneering career that challenged the foundations of mental health. Through setbacks, breakthroughs, and a relentless search for truth, Bowlby revealed what many resisted: human connection isn’t a luxury. It’s survival. 
Blending biography, history, and psychology, this audiobook offers an intimate portrait of a complicated thinker and a clear look at the revolution he started. For anyone interested in relationships, healing, or the deeper roots of human behavior, it shows how one man’s determination forever changed the way we understand ourselves and each other.

Gender is everywhere. Politicians argue over it, educational systems struggle to define it, and our friends, neighbors, and children explore it. More than ever before, young people are questioning their gender identities and redefining the role of gender in their lives. How should our society―and we as individuals (parents, teachers, friends)―respond? 
 
In Gender Explained, Diane Ehrensaft, PhD, and Michelle Jurkiewicz, PsyD, separate medical fact from fear-mongering falsehoods and answer these questions: What should parents do when their child starts experiencing gender dysphoria? Which sports teams should transgender youth play on? How should schools teach young people about gender? And most important: What is gender-affirming care, and when should an individual have access to it? 
 
With clear, expert guidance, this book is a safeguard against political vitriol, and it offers urgent protection for those among us who are transgender and/or nonbinary. Far more than an introduction to gender creativity, it is an invitation to develop compassion for everyone along the gender continuum.

    A dazzling and ambitious history of the pre-Columbian Atlantic seas, Ocean is a story that begins with the formation of the mid-Atlantic ridge some 200 million years ago and ends with the Castilian conquest of the Canary Islands in the fifteenth century, providing a template for the methods used by the Spanish in their colonization of the New World. 
 
 
 
John Haywood argues that the perception of Atlantic history beginning with the first voyage of the celebrated navigator Christopher Columbus is a mistaken one, and that the seafaring and shipbuilding skills that enabled European global exploration and expansion did not arrive fully formed in the fifteenth century, but instead were learned over centuries and millennia in the Atlantic and its peripheral seas. The pre-Columbian history of the Atlantic is the story of how Europeans learned to master the oceans. This story is key to understanding why it was Europeans, and not any of the world's other seafaring peoples, who "discovered" the world. 
 
 
 
Informed by the author's travels around the Atlantic Ocean, Ocean is an in-depth history of a neglected subject, fusing geology, geography, mythology, developing maritime technologies, and the early history of exploration to narrate an enthralling story—one which lies at the very heart of Europe's modern history and its relationship with the world.
