The inspiring, life-changing bestseller by the author of LEADERS EAT LAST and TOGETHER IS BETTER. In 2009, Simon Sinek started a movement to help people become more inspired at work, and in turn inspire their colleagues and customers. Since then, millions have been touched by the power of his ideas, including more than 28 million who've watched his TED Talk based on START WITH WHY -- the third most popular TED video of all time. Sinek starts with a fundamental question: Why are some people and organizations more innovative, more influential, and more profitable than others? Why do some command greater loyalty from customers and employees alike? Even among the successful, why are so few able to repeat their success over and over? People like Martin Luther King Jr., Steve Jobs, and the Wright Brothers had little in common, but they all started with WHY. They realized that people won't truly buy into a product, service, movement, or idea until they understand the WHY behind it. S...

The modern state, however we conceive of it today, is based on a pattern that emerged in Europe in the period from 1100 to 1600. Inspired by a lifetime of teaching and research, On the Medieval Origins of the Modern State is a classic work on what is known about the early history of the European state. This short, clear book book explores the European state in its infancy, especially in institutional developments in the administration of justice and finance. Forewords from Charles Tilly and William Chester Jordan demonstrate the perennial importance of Joseph Strayer's book, and situate it within a contemporary context. Tilly demonstrates how Strayer's work has set the agenda for a whole generation of historical analysts, not only in medieval history but also in the comparative study of state formation. William Chester Jordan's foreword examines the scholarly and pedagogical setting within which Strayer produced his book, and how this both enhanced its accessibility and i...

Με τη συνείδηση ότι η ανθρωπολογία - η μελέτη του ανθρώπου και του πολιτισμού του - είναι βαθιά ριζωμένη στη Δυτική εμπειρία, η συνοπτική αυτή εισαγωγή στο συγκεκριμένο θέμα ξεκινάει από την αρχαιότητα, με συγγραφείς όπως ο Ηρόδοτος και ο Αριστοτέλης, συνεχίζει με τον Μεσαίωνα και την Αναγέννηση, για να φτάσει ως τον 19ο αιώνα, οπότε η ανθρωπολογική σκέψη αποκτά πιο συγκροτημένη και συστηματική μορφή. Ωστόσο, το βιβλίο εστιάζει κυρίως στον 20ό αιώνα, καλύπτοντας όλα τα ρεύματα της αμερικανικής, της βρετανικής και της γαλλικής ανθρωπολογικής παράδοσης. Περιλαμβάνει, επίσης, κεφάλαια για τη θεωρία της αρχαιολογίας, της φυσικής ανθρωπολογίας και της πολιτισμικής ανθρωπολογίας. «Η Ιστορία της ανθρωπολογικής σκέψης, γραμμένη με τρόπο εύληπτο αλλά όχι απλοϊκό, κατορθώνει να είναι εντυπωσιακά πλήρης, χωρίς ωστόσο να κουράζει τον αναγνώστη. Μέσα από ένα "διάλογο με τους προγόνους", οι συγγραφείς συνδέουν επιτυχημένα το παλιό με το νέο, φωτίζοντας, για παράδειγμα, την καταγωγή της συ...

The definitive book on the archaeology of Palestine from Alexander the Great's conquest to Constantine's reign Drawing on the most recent, groundbreaking archaeological research, Eric M. Meyers and Mark A. Chancey re-narrate the history of ancient Palestine in this richly illustrated and expertly integrated book. Spanning from the conquest of Alexander the Great in the fourth century BCE until the reign of the Roman emperor Constantine in the fourth century CE, they synthesize archaeological evidence with ancient literary sources (including the Bible) to offer a sustained overview of the tumultuous intellectual and religious changes that impacted world history during the Greco-Roman period. The authors demonstrate how the transformation of the ancient Near East under the influence of the Greeks and then the Romans led to foundational changes in both the material and intellectual worlds of the Levant. Palestine's subjection to Hellenistic kingdoms, its rule by the Hasmonea...
