Book excerpt: This book takes the reader through a thrilling and roller-coaster panoramic tour into the realm of power (politics) unveiling unwritten rules and prescribing timeless gems for a successful outing in the game of politics. To survive and succeed in the gladiatorial arena, you must be a risk taker, understand the dynamics of power calculus, and the centrality of political economy (the purse), spread your political tentacles, maintain a good reputation, beware of the merchant of evil in the arena, never bite the finger that fed you, learn to accept defeat, welcome criticism, criticizes constructively, leave the stage when the ovation is loudest among other unwritten rules. Politics, no doubt, is an intricate game full of uncertainties. It needs careful calculation; hence, politicians need to be calculative, tactical, and meticulous in every move they make. Players who ignore this fact suffer setbacks. The fact that politics deals with human beings who cannot be subjected to laboratory tests make the game unpredictable. Unfortunately, many politicians are into the game of politics without a grand strategy, not even knowing its meaning, rudiments, and how it should be played. This has resulted in disappointments for many, others have gone into relegation, while others' political careers have abruptly ended .......

Book excerpt: It is often forgotten that America was founded by disruptive youth; four of our nation's Founding Fathers were in their 20s during the Constitutional Convention. Yet America has largely abandoned the inclusion of youth into the nation's most important policy conversations. Millennials, though the largest demographic in the United States, are the most underrepresented age group in government today. We are the most educated and the most diverse generation in American history, but our voices aren't heard; with 75.3 million of us by the end of 2015, we've mustered a lousy 2% of seats in the U.S. House of Representatives. In his book Political Gladiators: How Millennials Can Navigate the 21st Century Political Minefield and WIN!, Joshua Lafazan aims to inspire millennials everywhere to seek elected office in their communities, and give young candidates the tools they need to be successful on Election Day.

Book excerpt: One of the most popular shows to come out of Shondaland, Shonda Rhimes’s production company, is ABC’s political drama Scandal (2012–18)—a series whose tremendous success and marketing savvy led LA Times critic Mary McNamara to hail it as "the show that Twitter built" and Time magazine to name its protagonist as one of the most influential fictional characters of 2013. The series portrays a fictional Washington, DC, and features a diverse group of characters, racially and otherwise, who gather around the show’s antiheroine, Olivia Pope, a powerful crisis manager who happens to have an extramarital affair with the president of the United States. For seven seasons, audiences learned a great deal about Olivia and those interwoven in her complex world of politics and drama, including her team of "gladiators in suits," with whom she manages the crises of Washington’s political elite. This volume, named for both Olivia’s team and the show’s fans, analyzes the communication, politics, stereotypes, and genre techniques featured in the television series while raising key questions about the intersections of race, gender, sexuality, and viewing audiences. The essays range from critical looks at various members of Scandal’s ensemble, to in-depth analyses of the show’s central themes, to audience reception studies via interviews and social media analysis. Additionally, the volume contributes to research on femininity, masculinity, and representations of black womanhood on television. Ultimately, this collection offers original and timely perspectives on what was one of America’s most "scandalous" prime-time network television series.

Book Synopsis Gladiators by : Roger Dunkle

Download or read book Gladiators written by Roger Dunkle. This book was released on 2013-09-13. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The games comprised gladiatorial fights, staged animal hunts (venationes) and the executions of convicted criminals and prisoners of war. Besides entertaining the crowd, the games delivered a powerful message of Roman power: as a reminder of the wars in which Rome had acquired its empire, the distant regions of its far-flung empire (from where they had obtained wild beasts for the venatio), and the inevitability of Roman justice for criminals and those foreigners who had dared to challenge the empire's authority. Though we might see these games as bloodthirsty, cruel and reprehensible condemning any alien culture out of hand for a sport that offends our sensibilities smacks of cultural chauvinism. Instead one should judge an ancient sport by the standards of its contemporary cultural context. This book offers a fascinating, and fair historical appraisal of gladiatorial combat, which will bring the games alive to the reader and help them see them through the eyes of the ancient Romans. It will answer questions about gladiatorial combat such as: What were its origins? Why did it disappear? Who were gladiators? How did they become gladiators? What was there training like? How did the Romans view gladiators? How were gladiator shows produced and advertised? What were the different styles of gladiatorial fighting? Did gladiator matches have referees? Did every match end in the death of at least one gladiator? Were gladiator games mere entertainment or did they play a larger role in Roman society? What was their political significance?
