Sinossi

Exploring the tumultuous period of Classical Greece, 'The History of the Peloponnesian War & Hellenica' offers a compelling narrative tapestry woven from the pivotal works of two quintessential historians, Xenophon and Thucydides. This collection delves into the enduring power struggles and societal upheavals of the Peloponnesian War, capturing a spectrum of human experiences ranging from the grand strategies of war to the intimate trials of personal ethos. With Thucydides' meticulous and analytical narrative paired alongside Xenophon's more pragmatic and descriptive continuation in 'Hellenica', readers gain a comprehensive understanding of a transitional epoch that helped shape Western political thought. The contributors, Xenophon and Thucydides, were eyewitnesses to the dramatic events they detail, thus bringing a rich, first-hand authenticity to their accounts. Thucydides, with his acute critical analysis and emphasis on a factual recount of events, set the bar for historical inquiry. Meanwhile, Xenophon, a student of Socrates, offers complementary insights colored by his own philosophical leanings and military experiences. Together, they chronicle a historical period aligning with the burgeoning concepts of democracy, imperialism, and civic duty, inviting readers to explore these ideas through diverse narrative lenses. This anthology is an indispensable resource for those keen to grasp the complexities of Classical Greek civilization through the eyes of its most insightful chroniclers. By immersing oneself in this collection, readers are afforded a panoramic view of the Peloponnesian conflict and subsequent eras, enriched by the nuanced perspectives crafted by both historians. It is an invitation to historical inquiry and reflection, perfect for scholars, students, and general readers interested in the foundations of Western historical thought and the rich legacy of classical antiquity.

    As Hispanic citizens rally to the political right, they will provide the economic, cultural, and political renaissance to save the American republic. 
     
     
     
    Hispanics have moved materially to the political right in recent years—but why? What explains this marked and sustained shift? Bad Hombres details the radicalism of the modern Democratic Party, which has turned so many outcasts into political orphans. Steve Cortes provides evidence of the massive benefits of this Hispanic surge to the right. Cortes himself has been a key driver of this mass political movement, first as the lead Hispanic face of the 2016 and 2020 Trump campaigns, and presently as the primary Latino advocate for the New Right—patriotic populism. Given this vantage point, Cortes makes a powerful case that reveals how the teetering American nation will find a national rescue by entrepreneurial, tradition-minded Hispanic citizens.

    New Mexico 2026 gubernatorial frontrunner, organizer, congresswoman, and former cabinet secretary Deb Haaland shares her story, offering a powerful and personal look at what it means to be “the first.”Nothing about Deb Haaland’s upbringing or family history set her up for a life of firsts: the first Native American woman elected to chair a state political party in the United States; one of the first two Native American women elected to Congress; the first Native American to serve in a presidential cabinet. Yet Haaland has embraced every opportunity, knowing that each step forward lifts up those who are too often left out of the conversation.A 35th-generation New Mexican and member of the Pueblo of Laguna, Haaland has lived a remarkable life shaped by poverty, alcoholism, and single parenthood. After a late but meteoric rise in politics, she stepped down from her cabinet position as Secretary of the Interior in January 2025 and is now running for Governor of New Mexico in the 2026 election.In A Voice Like Mine—titled after Haaland’s congressional campaign slogan, “Congress has never heard a voice like mine”—she shares the personal history that shaped her courage to organize, run for office, and lead. She tells the stories that have defined her life in politics and beyond, from her grandfather’s cornfield, where she learned the importance of hard work and care for the earth, to the oak-paneled halls of Washington, D.C. Throughout her journey, Haaland has drawn on her heritage in her activism and service, leading with humility, purpose, and a commitment to “leave the ladder down” for those who follow.

    Blue Parenting blends Eastern and Western nurturing to raise remarkable problem solvers. This book was written by a best-selling author who interviewed 120 successful individuals to discover what contributed to their success, whether they have a common trait, or whether they all received excellent parenting. Five of those 120 interviewees are displayed here by dissecting their childhoods and lives. As the book progresses, the author points out what methods in child rearing can be harmful and what can excel the potential in children to develop problem-solving skills.  
    Blue Parenting does not use PUNISHMENT, NOR TIME OUTS.  
    Yet parents can raise highly disciplined, self-governed, empathetic and loving problem solvers. 
    You have to ADD elements from Eastern parenting and blend with Western parenting.

    The Social Contract  is a 1762 French-language book by the Genevan philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau. The book theorizes about the best way to establish a political community in the face of the problems of commercial society, which Rousseau had already identified in his Discourse on Inequality (1755). 
    The Social Contract helped inspire political reforms or revolutions in Europe, especially in France. The Social Contract argued against the idea that monarchs were divinely empowered to legislate. Rousseau asserts that only the people, who are sovereign, have that all-powerful right.

    This book delves into genocide in Palestine, and the war crisis in eastern Europe, West Asia and East Asia. It examines the role of the Big Lie in blunting popular opposition, and describes ways countries around the world and the general public are pressing for peace.  
    The world is in a crisis now. As its empire declines toward collapse, the United States leadership is making a series of disastrous errors. The “neocons” in Washington, DC, are determined to maintain U.S. global domination regardless of what it might take. The stakes are high for them. They seem to believe that if they “allow” any other 
    country to challenge their global leadership, their whole system could fall apart. 
    So they are prepared to do whatever it takes. Supporting genocide in Israel—by providing weapons, money, and a bizarre “moral justification” for horrific genocidal bombing—is a sign of what it takes. Blowing up the Nord Stream pipeline was another sign of what it can take. 
    Western European leaders have been rounded up and bludgeoned into a unified NATO alliance against Russia, and in support of Israeli genocide against Palestinians. This alliance—originally composed of “north Atlantic” countries under U.S. leadership at the end of World War II—is now also being extended to Asia. It’s a quest to curb China’s historic economic success, which threatens Western domination of global trade. 
    A new peace movement is emerging. It faces enormous obstacles, including a gigantic wave of war hysteria engineered in Washington, magnified exponentially by a captive mainstream media that seems to have abandoned all pretense of critical journalistic independence and objectivity. But as facts emerge and truth surfaces, the movement for peace will intensify. 
    Combined with the horrific results of sanctions and war, these facts and truths can be expected to bring ever greater waves of opposition and resistance into the fray.
