Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Fired for his Christian beliefs and vindicated in federal court, a fire department chaplain traces how a free country teaches its citizens to stop thinking-and calls for the courage to speak truth in an age that rewards only applause.Andrew K. Fox chose this country. He came to the United States in 1999, became a citizen, and spent eight years serving as a volunteer chaplain for the Austin Fire Department-until a personal blog post about his Christian convictions cost him a role he was never even paid for. The case that followed, Fox v. City of Austin, took four years, cost his legal defenders roughly $800,000, and ended in the vindication of his First Amendment rights.In Truth in the Age of Applause, Fox turns that fight into something larger than his own story. Drawing on Dietrich Bonhoeffer's concept of "stupidity"-not a failure of intelligence, but a surrender of independent judgment to whatever framework promises safety and approval-Fox traces the quiet, reasonable-sounding steps by which harm gets redefined, protection turns into enforcement, and perception replaces truth as the standard for what may be said. None of it requires malice. It requires only that people stop asking whether something is true and start asking whether it will be applauded.Chapter by chapter, Fox shows how silence becomes normal, then codified, then enforced-and how an entire culture can talk itself out of the capacity to think, one small accommodation at a time. But he also makes the case for the discipline of confrontation-grounded in both constitutional principle and Christian conviction-the courage to speak clearly when speaking costs something.Part legal drama, part cultural diagnosis, part call to conscience, Truth in the Age of Applause is for readers who sense that something in American discourse has quietly gone wrong-and want the vocabulary and the nerve to say so.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Focusing on the transitional period of the late Republic to the early Principate, Trees in Ancient Rome offers a sustained examination of the deployment of trees in the ancient city, exploring not only the practicalities of their cultivation, but also their symbolic value. The Ruminal fig tree sheltered the she-wolf as she nursed Romulus and Remus and years later Rome was founded between two groves. As the city grew, neighbourhoods bore the names of groves and hills were known by the trees which grew atop them. From the 1st century BCE, triumphs included trees among their spoils and Romes green cityscape grew, as did the challenges of finding room for trees within the congested city.This volume begins with an examination of the role of trees as repositories of human memory, lasting for several generations. It goes on to untangle the import of trees, and their role in the triumphal procession, before closing with a discussion of how trees could be grown in Romes urban spaces. Drawing on a combination of literary, visual and archaeological sources, it reveals the rich variety of trees in evidence, and explores how they impacted, and were used to impact, life in the ancient city.
