A roadmap for consolidating Syria’s hard-won gains before the window of opportunity closes

 

September 26, 2026—Time Books™, an imprint of TellerBooks™, announces the publication of Charting Syria’s Future: A Strategic Framework for Recovery and Renewal, by Salam Fayyad, available at https://www.tellerbooks.com/books/pub_pol/Charting_Syria_Future.html.

The fall of the Assad regime ended more than six decades of authoritarian rule in Syria and opened an era of remarkable renewal. Today, the country has achieved what many thought impossible: a functioning state, ministries and courts back in operation, embassies reopened, and billions in investment pledged. A nation once designated a State Sponsor of Terrorism has joined the Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS, acceded to the Global IHL Initiative, and pledged to destroy its remaining chemical weapons. Charting Syria’s Future examines this historic moment, showing how a country many feared would relapse into civil war has instead laid the foundations for durable stability.

But the work is not done. Syria, together with its international partners, must now build on hard-won gains before complacency or renewed violence forecloses the options this moment has opened. Written for policymakers and all those invested in Syria’s renewal, this book pioneers a coherent path toward a future the Syrian people want and deserve.

Spanning eight policy domains critical to Syria’s stabilization—promoting security sector reform and minority protection, designing a disability justice framework, strengthening Syrian civil society, reintegrating refugees and IDPs, rebuilding digital public infrastructure, engaging external stakeholders through diplomacy, and leveraging the removal of sanctions—Charting Syria’s Future presents an achievable strategic framework for Syria’s recovery and renewal. 

This volume brings together leading voices in public policy, law, military affairs, humanitarian assistance, diplomacy, and governance, including Salam Fayyad (editor), John Balouziyeh, Thomas Hinds, Heather Mercer, Sejal Goud, Judah Guggenheim, Martin Palomo, and Zubaida Qaissi.

Sofia Classics Library™ Publishes The Republic of Plato (Annotated): A Critical Edition by John Teller

September 26, 2026—Sofia Classics Library™, an imprint of TellerBooks™, announces the publication of The Republic of Plato (Annotated): A Critical Edition by Dr. John Teller.


Plato’s Republic, one of the most influential philosophical works in Western thought, pursues a single great question—what is justice?—through an ascending inquiry into the soul, the ideal city, and the virtues that a just order demands of rulers and citizens alike.

The work’s reach extends across philosophy, political theory, ethics, and education; alongside the Bible, it has been called one of the most influential books ever written. At its center stands an enduring claim about the bond between personal virtue and the common good.

That bond is embodied in the figure of the philosopher-king. Having ascended from the cave and seen the truth, he does not remain in the light of contemplation where his own good lies. He descends again—back into the darkness, at real cost and real risk—to free those still in chains. His rule is an act of sacrifice rather than self-interest. Socrates lived that ideal to its end: refusing to compromise the truth, he accepted the sentence handed down for standing by his principles, though it cost him his life.

This critical, annotated edition of Plato’s Republic includes:

• an introduction to the work and its historical setting;

• a summary and commentary on each of the Republic's ten books;

• Dr. Teller's classic essay, “Socrates as Proto-Christ: Socrates' Cave and Christ's Descent into Hades,” which reads Socrates’s ethical teaching, trial, and allegory of the cave as a foreshadowing of Christ;

• commentary throughout that builds a bridge between Socrates and Jesus, two of the most consequential figures in human history; and

• a conclusion assessing The Republic's impact and enduring significance.
