Synopsis

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.

But how many ounces of philosophy are there in this world of ads? That’s the question this book asks, without forgetting to include a dose of humor in its ingredients.

    An expanded edition of the first practical, nonjudgmental handbook for dealing with microaggressions, featuring examples, sample scripts, action plans, a new discussion and activity guide, and up-to-date suggestions for creating a culture of belonging in the workplace. 
     
    Overt discrimination is relatively easy to spot. But the less obvious but more common actions that make people feel left out or stigmatized in our workplaces, commonly called microaggressions, can be hard to identify and even harder to deal with. 
     
    The author use a clearer, more accurate term: subtle acts of exclusion (SAE). After all, people generally aren't trying to be aggressive-usually they're trying to say something nice, learn more about a person, or be funny. Bring accused of aggression shuts the conversation down, when you want to open it up.   
     
    This book features examples, tools, sample scripts, and action plans to help readers prevent subtle acts of aggression from happening, or deal with them when they do. Updated throughout, this second edition features: 
     
    -	A greatly expanded chapter on "intentional acts of inclusion"-actions for creating a sense of belonging. 
    -	A discussion and activity guide ideal for book clubs and training sessions 
    -	A new concluding chapter, Hope for Humanity 
     
    Whether in the form of stereotypes, assumptions, backhanded compliments, or objectification, SAEs are damaging to our coworkers, friends, and acquaintances. This book is your friendly, accessible, non-judgemental guide to creating a welcoming workplace.

    A gripping true story of the WWII Guadalcanal Campaign—told with no-holds-barred honesty and humor by a Marine who was there. In August of 1942, Allied forces led by U.S. Marines came ashore on Guadalcanal, launching the first major land offensive against Imperial Japan. M. Sgt. Ore J. Marion of L Company, 3rd Battalion, 5th Regiment was among them. Here, Marion and other men of L-3-5 share a personal account of their experiences over the course of this grueling and protracted campaign.  The stories contained in these pages are harrowing, profane, heartbreaking, irreverent, and deeply human. As with many personal accounts, some memories recorded here are at odds with the official accounts in Washington’s archives. Rather than presenting a clean and consistent narrative, On the Canal reflects the messy business of warfare and human memory.

A kiss gets the action started, and Ryan willingly lets himself be taken behind the buildings to experience his first gay sex with a rough, muscular trucker.
