Prime Directive

Prime Directive

Alexander Geiger

Ptolemaios Publishing Entertainment, LLC
2019
pokkari
A split-second decision saves the life of a young boy - and changes the course of history ... Ptolemaios was supposed to keep his head down and stay out of trouble. Instead, his rash intervention strands him in ancient Macedonia, where he is quickly captured and presumed to be a Persian spy. In the nick of time, King Philip II recognizes that Ptolemaios is strangely different from other Greeks or Persians - more educated, more "civilized," yet also a talented fighter. Philip decides to find a use for Ptolemaios at his court. But the Macedonian court is a snake pit, in every sense of the word. As newly-appointed companion to young Alexandros, presumptive heir to Philip's throne, Ptolemaios must depend on his wits to stay alive and ensure the safety of the prince. The stakes escalate as Philip II seeks to expand his power beyond Macedonia. Caught in a monumental struggle for domination and hegemony, Ptolemaois finds his loyalties tested. How can he stay true to the Macedonian royal house without violating his own, internal Prime Directive? As he travels through the captivating world of ancient Greece, Ptolemaios meets not only King Philip II but also Queen Olympias, Alexander the Great, Aristotle, Demosthenes, and a host of young men and women striving to survive and achieve their destinies. Filled with white-knuckle adventures, aching romance, vivid battle scenes, and fascinating depictions of life three centuries before the birth of Christ, this epic novel will leave you thrilled, amused, enlightened, and intrigued. And best of all, it's all (mostly) true.

Emperor Darius of Persia, king of kings, lord of many, Ahura Mazda's representative on Earth and keeper of his flame, commands the greatest army the world has ever seen. But can he hold back the tide of history? Barsine, a beautiful, resourceful, spunky young woman held hostage in Darius's harem, plots her flight to freedom. But can she escape the bonds of misogyny? Alexander (not yet known as Great) - young, presumptuous, and preternaturally self-confident - leads his ragtag band of Greek warriors on a suicide campaign. He's convinced he's riding the torrent of destiny. But is his faith sufficient to save their souls? Ptolemaios, a mysterious traveler marooned out of place and time, wants to go home. But first, he must navigate the treacherous shoals of duty, loyalty, and the Prime Directive. Strap on your life preservers and dive into the maelstrom of Flood Tide, the next installment of the acclaimed Ptolemaios Saga. Thrill to epic struggles, unexpected reversals, fateful encounters, and unforgettable sights as Alexander leads the pan-Hellenic army in his quest to liberate Ionia, take the Levant, and perhaps even conquer Egypt. The two armies, led personally by their fabled commanders, finally collide at the Battle of Issus. Only one can emerge victorious. Witness the clash of arms; hear the outcry of fighting warriors; smell the blood and excreta of dying men; gaze at a battlefield carpeted in corpses; and peek in on the victors disporting themselves with their spoils. A compelling tale, told with verve, passion, and a healthy dose of humor. And best of all, it's all (mostly) true.

Conquest of Persia

Conquest of Persia

Alexander Geiger

Ptolemaios Publishing Entertainment, LLC
2019
pokkari
A seemingly hopeless quest for glory turns into a life-and-death struggle for empire. The Oracle at Delphi dubbed him Invincible Alexander. He does his best to live up to Pythia's prophesy, much to the chagrin of his bitter adversary - the powerful and ruthless Emperor Darius III of Persia. As recounted by Ptolemaios, Alexander's long-time bodyguard and friend, Alexander careens from hopeless battle to desperate siege, somehow managing to emerge victorious each time. Accompanied by the beautiful and independent-minded Barsine, Alexander the Great leads his troops into Egypt and is crowned Pharaoh. Yet, he's plagued by doubt. He decides to cross the Sahara, escorted only by his personal bodyguard, in search of divine sanction. Hearing himself proclaimed a demigod, Alexander returns, more determined than ever to fulfill his destiny. With each military victory, his appetite for further conquest grows. His next objective is the throne of the Persian Empire itself. The only obstacle in his way is the current occupant of that throne. In the meantime, Darius has not been standing idly by. Exploiting the almost limitless resources of Persia, he builds his greatest fighting machine yet. An epic showdown is inevitable. The victor can look forward to the carnal and sybaritic pleasures of Babylon, the treasures of Susa, the palaces of Persepolis, and the endless riches of the Persian Empire. The two armies clash in the momentous Battle of Gaugamela. The outcome marks a turning point in world history. But you have to read this third installment of the Ptolemaios Saga to find out who won, how, and what came next.

Thank You for Voting: The Maddening, Enlightening, Inspiring Truth about Voting in America

Thank You for Voting: The Maddening, Enlightening, Inspiring Truth about Voting in America

Erin Geiger Smith

Harpercollins
2020
mp3 cd-levyllä
In this concise, lively look at the past, present, and future of voting, a journalist examines the long and continuing fight for voting equality, why so few Americans today vote, and innovative ways to educate and motivate them; included are checklists of what to do before election day to prepare to vote and encourage others.Voting is a prized American right and a topic of debate from the earliest days of the country. Yet in the 2016 presidential election, about 40 percent of Americans--and half of the country's young adults - didn't vote. Why do so many Americans choose not to vote, and what can we do about it? The problem, Erin Geiger Smith contends, is a lack of understanding about our electoral system and a need to make voting more accessible. Thank You for Voting is her eye-opening look at the voting process, starting with the Framers' perspective, through the Equal Protection amendment and the Voting Rights Act, to the present and simple actions individuals can take to increase civic participation in local, state, and national elections.Geiger Smith expands our knowledge about our democracy--including women's long fight to win the vote, attempts to suppress newly enfranchised voters' impact, state prohibitions against felons voting, charges of voter fraud and voter suppression, and other vital issues. In a conversational tone, she explains topics that can confuse even the most informed voters: polling, news literacy, gerrymandering and the Electoral College. She also explores how age, race, and socioeconomic factors influence turnout.Ultimately, Thank You for Voting offers hope. Geiger Smith challenges corporations to promote voting, and offers examples of how companies like Patagonia and Walmart have taken up the task in a non-partisan way. And she reveals how get-out-the-vote movements--such as television star Yara Shahidi's voting organization, Michelle Obama's When We All Vote campaign, and on-the-ground young activists--innovatively use technology and grassroots techniques to energize first-time voters. Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

Kant and the Claims of the Empirical World

Kant and the Claims of the Empirical World

Ido Geiger

Cambridge University Press
2022
sidottu
Kant announces that the Critique of the Power of Judgment will bring his entire critical enterprise to an end. But it is by no means agreed upon that it in fact does so and, if it does, how. In this book, Ido Geiger argues that a principal concern of the third Critique is completing the account of the transcendental conditions of empirical experience and knowledge. This includes both Kant's analysis of natural beauty and his discussion of teleological judgments of organisms and of nature generally. Geiger's original reading of the third Critique shows that it forms a unified whole - and that it does in fact deliver the final part of Kant's transcendental undertaking. His book will be valuable to all who are interested in Kant's theory of the aesthetic and conceptual purposiveness of nature.

Britain and the Economic Problem of the Cold War

Britain and the Economic Problem of the Cold War

Till Geiger

Routledge
2017
nidottu
Many accounts of British development since 1945 have attempted to discover why Britain experienced slower rates of economic growth than other Western European countries. In many cases, the explanation for this phenomenon has been attributed to the high level of defence spending that successive British post-war governments adhered to. Yet is it fair to assume that Britain's relative economic decline could have been prevented if policy makers had not spent so much on defence? Examining aspects of the political economy and economic impact of British defence expenditure in the period of the first cold war (1945-1955), this book challenges these widespread assumptions, looking in detail at the link between defence spending and economic decline. In contrast to earlier studies, Till Geiger not only analyses the British effort within the framework of Anglo-American relations, but also places it within the wider context of European integration. By reconsidering the previously accepted explanation of the economic impact of the British defence effort during the immediate post-war period, this book convincingly suggests that British foreign policy-makers retained a large defence budget to offset a sense of increased national vulnerability, brought about by a reduction in Britain's economic strength due to her war effort. Furthermore, it is shown that although this level of military spending may have slightly hampered post-war recovery, it was not in itself responsible for the decline of the British economy.

Business Cycles and Economic Crises

Business Cycles and Economic Crises

Niels Geiger; Vadim Kufenko

Routledge
2018
sidottu
Throughout the history of economic thought, interest in business cycles and economic crises has sometimes been observed to rise during times of crises, recessions and depressions. However, the treatment of this topic in the literature has generally been merely anecdotal.This book presents a bibliometric and econometric analysis of the development of business cycle and crises theory and its connection to economic developments, particularly since the early 20th century. The book explores the connection between economic development and the literature, utilising systematic bibliometric and rigorous econometric methods and drawing its data from a wide range of sources. This volume provides quantitative answers to questions which have not previously been subject to a precise and comprehensive empirical analysis.This book will be of great interest to historians of economic thought for its novel treatment of a much-discussed topic, and its well-founded and transparent results.
