The Socratic Way of Life is the first English-language book-length study of the philosopher Xenophon’s masterwork. In it, Thomas L. Pangle shows that Xenophon depicts more authentically than does Plato the true teachings and way of life of the citizen philosopher Socrates, founder of political philosophy. In the first part of the book, Pangle analyzes Xenophon’s defense of Socrates against the two charges of injustice upon which he was convicted by democratic Athens: impiety and corruption of the youth. In the second part, Pangle analyzes Xenophon’s account of how Socrates’s life as a whole was just, in the sense of helping through his teaching a wide range of people. Socrates taught by never ceasing to raise, and to progress in answering, the fundamental and enduring civic questions: what is pious and impious, noble and ignoble, just and unjust, genuine statesmanship and genuine citizenship. Inspired by Hegel’s and Nietzsche’s assessments of Xenophon as the true voice of Socrates, The Socratic Way of Life establishes the Memorabilia as the groundwork of all subsequent political philosophy.

In 1966, when the Cultural Revolution took hold, posters, ceramic statues, "Little Red Books," and other material objects were the principal means that the Chinese government used to communicate with the masses. As art and as propaganda, the iconography of these artifacts was used to rally the people around the programs and personalities of the Maoist regime. For graphic artists, collectors, and Sino-historians, they have a growing importance. With nearly 500 color photos, this book is an introductory guide to the meanings and values of the material culture of the Cultural Revolution, along with brief explanations of their historical background.

Sir Donald has always encapsulated a lot of what inspires me. He was a remarkable sportsman and an Australian Legend, who handled his fame with class. His cricket prowess and longevity of life meant that a lot of memorabilia was produced since around 1930 and there is always a market for it. As a person inflicted with the collecting bug and a strong sense of National pride, I couldnt help myself! There are many collectors and museums in the cricketing world, but there is very little reference material relating to their treasures. I have always kept the sales advertisements, brochures, certificates and boxes pertaining to the items in my collection, because they give it more meaning. An item of memorabilia can give you visual stimulus and even prompt some feelings relating to its procurement or your journey to see it. However, Ive learnt that a little bit of knowledge can also transcend an item of memorabilia from an object to something more of a friend or family member. For the statistically minded, there are 209 A4 pages, featuring 141 different items, 214 colour images, 381 references and 89 different cricketers are mentioned in connection with the items.
