Sinopse

In "The Life and Legacy of Socrates," Xenophon presents a compelling narrative that intertwines historical biography with philosophical discourse, encapsulating the essence of Socratic thought and its enduring impact on Western philosophy. Through a series of dialogues and reflections, Xenophon not only details the life of Socrates but also explores his method of questioning and philosophical inquiry, often contrasting it with the societal norms of his time. The text is notable for its accessible style, rich anecdotes, and the author's firsthand experiences, making it a vital source for understanding Socrates' character and the philosophical landscape of ancient Athens. Xenophon, a contemporary and student of Socrates, offers a unique perspective shaped by his military background, experiences in Athenian politics, and personal dialogues with Socrates. His writings reveal not only his admiration for Socratic ideals but also his desire to preserve the teachings and legacy of a man who profoundly influenced the intellectual heritage of the West. Xenophon's portrayal is marked by a focus on moral character and practical wisdom, reflecting his own values and philosophical inclinations. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in the foundations of Western philosophy, as well as those seeking a nuanced portrait of one of history's most influential figures. Xenophon's work acts as both a tribute and a critical examination of Socratic thought, making it an essential read for anyone looking to engage with the philosophical inquiries that continue to resonate today.

    Striking where the enemy is weakest and melting away into the darkness before he can react. Never confronting a stronger force directly, but using audacity and surprise to confound and demoralize an opponent. Operations driven by good intelligence, area knowledge, mobility, speed, firepower, and detailed planning, and executed by a few specialists with indigenous warriors—this is unconventional warfare. 
     
     
     
    T. E. Lawrence was one of the earliest practitioners of modern unconventional warfare. His tactics and strategies were used by men like Mao and Giap in their wars of liberation. Both kept Lawrence's Seven Pillars of Wisdom close at hand. This book examines the creation of the "Hedgehog" force, looks at the formation of armored car sections and other units, and focuses on the Hejaz Operations Staff, the Allied officers and men who took Lawrence's idea and prosecuted it against the Ottoman Turkish army, assisting Field Marshal Allenby to achieve victory in 1918. 
     
     
     
    Stejskal concludes with an examination of how Hedgehog influenced special operations and unconventional warfare, including Field Marshal Wavell, the Long Range Desert Group, and David Stirling's SAS.

    Anxiety is a very serious issue and especially the fear of illness is a real ordeal for many sufferers.
    But fear is also a feeling that every human being carries within him or her, which is vital or essential for survival and is stronger or weaker in each person depending on their personality. Fear drives, inspires, mobilizes one's own forces, leads to success, but can also make you sick - so sick that life becomes hell.
    
    Hypochondria - as the fear of illness is specifically called - is a phenomenon of completely exaggerated fears that can push sufferers to their limits. Nevertheless - even if some may not believe it - sufferers are not malingerers.
    
    In my guidebook, you can expect an exciting insight into the topic of anxiety with all its accompanying symptoms, tips for improving the symptomatology as well as specific suggestions for immediate implementation - of course suitable for everyday life, I promise!

    Winner of the William Foote Whyte and Kathleen King Whyte Book Prize from the Rutgers Institute for the Study of Employee Ownership and Profit Sharing 
     
    Employee ownership creates stronger companies, helps workers build wealth, and fosters a fairer, more stable society. In this book, two leading experts show how it works-and how it can be greatly expanded. 
     
     
    Why are wages stagnant and wealth inequality increasing? One factor has inexplicably been left out: who owns the companies that drive the economy. Ownership gives people a claim to the fruits of free enterprise. Employee ownership gives workers-the people who have a stake in the company-a fair chance to benefit from their labors. 
     
    In three simple parts, Corey Rosen and John Case create a powerful argument for why employee ownership is the answer to capitalism's crisis and how to implement it: 
     
    1.	What's wrong with what we have-The authors explain why companies usually end up being sold off to investors and the often-horrific consequences that result for workers, communities, and the environment. 
    2.	How can we change things?-This section shows how overlooking ownership limits attempts to reform capitalism and why employee ownership is a realistic and practical way to save capitalism from its own excesses. 
    3.	Reinventing capitalism for the 21st century-This section describes how employee ownership has been done, is being done, and can be expanded and gives examples of companies of all sizes and sectors.
