  "The Qin Dynasty: A History of China" takes you on a journey through one of the most dramatic chapters in Chinese history. From the unification of the warring states to the iron rule of Qin Shi Huang, this book dives deep into the empire that set the foundation for China's future. The First Emperor built a centralized government, enforced strict laws, and undertook grand projects like the Great Wall and his massive underground mausoleum. But his rule was also marked by fear—the infamous Burning of Books and Burying of Scholars, heavy taxation, and forced labor that pushed people to their limits. When Qin Shi Huang passed away, his successors struggled to hold the empire together, and cracks began to show. 
  As unrest spread, a single spark ignited a rebellion that would shake the empire to its core. Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, two common soldiers, defied orders and rose up, setting off a wave of uprisings across the land. The once-unbreakable Qin Dynasty faced challenge after challenge, as ambitious warlords seized the opportunity to fight for power. Among them, two figures stood out—Liu Bang, a clever and adaptable leader with a commoner's background, and Xiang Yu, a fearsome warrior whose strength was unmatched. Their rivalry would turn into a fierce battle for control over China, each determined to claim victory in their own way. 
  Through shifting alliances, brilliant strategies, and brutal clashes, the struggle between these two giants shaped the fate of an empire. As cities fell and armies clashed, their contrasting styles of leadership and personal ambitions drove them toward an inevitable showdown. Would brute force or cunning strategy decide the future of China? As tensions rose, betrayal lurked in the shadows, and the tide of war could change in an instant.

  Hygiene in World History

  Peter N. Stearns

  • 0

  This book features a global, historical analysis of the changes and continuities in one of society's basic functions: seeking to protect itself from disease. 
   
  Hygiene offers an important lens for major aspects of world and comparative history. The volume explores the ways different regions and major religions approached hygiene both before modern times and through the present with the more recent uses of germ theory. Topics in "premodern" hygiene include toilet practices, remarkably varied views about bathing, and different levels of commitment to investments in hygiene infrastructure. The "sanitary revolution" of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries forms a major dividing line in the book, including the variations introduced by developments like colonialism or communism and various forms of resistance to "modern" hygiene. The book links current, often bitter, debates about hygiene, around practices such as masking, both to the larger history and to recent issues like COVID-19. 
   
  Hygiene in World History is an accessible overview aimed at undergraduate and non-specialist listeners interested in world history, public health, and the history of health and disease.

  The vault lies deep beneath the palace. 
  Alric, the Elran dancer, opens the immense stone door, guiding Heath and Caio into the vast chamber. 
  “The ancient inhabitants of this desert imbued items with a great number of dark powers. Some of these enchantments were distinctly...sexual.” 
  Caio’s pale cheeks flush deep pink as he realizes what kind of objects are locked away here. 
  The young dancer runs his fingertips over an ominous, silver-trimmed black box, its obsidian surface glittering temptingly in the torchlight. 
  “They say it houses a spirit. A creature that can provide endless pleasure.” Alric lowers his voice. “But only a powerful mage can open it...someone like you.” 
  ***CONTAINS EXPLICIT GAY SEXUAL CONTENT***

  The conquest of Constantinople in 1453 by a besieging army of around 80,000 men led by the Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II ended the Byzantine Empire. The city's defense was in the hands of Emperor Constantine XI, who had 7,000 to 10,000 soldiers at his disposal and, likely, fell during the last storm on the city. The fall of the Byzantine Empire also marked the final rise of the Ottoman Empire to become a major power. The conquest has a high symbolic value in both Turkish and Western European reception; Depending on one's perspective, it is viewed as evidence of imperial greatness or as a beacon of decay and demise. In historiography, the conquest of Constantinople is sometimes cited as one of the events that marked the transition from medieval Europe to modern times.
