Sinossi

"Ancient World Lore" presents a groundbreaking exploration of forgotten civilizations, challenging traditional views about the sophistication and interconnectedness of ancient societies. The book weaves together archaeological evidence, historical records, and cutting-edge scientific research to reveal how early human innovations continue to influence our modern world.

 
Through a carefully structured narrative, it demonstrates that ancient civilizations were far more technologically advanced and interconnected than previously believed, with innovations spreading rapidly across vast networks of trade and cultural exchange. The text illuminates three fundamental themes: the emergence of early urban centers, the evolution of technological capabilities, and the extensive trade networks that facilitated cultural exchange.

 
Drawing from interdisciplinary sources, including archaeogenetics and paleoclimatology, the book presents fascinating insights into how ancient societies from Mesopotamia to the Indus Valley developed sophisticated solutions to universal challenges. For instance, recent archaeological discoveries have revealed advanced metallurgy techniques and architectural innovations that predate conventional historical timelines.

 
Progressing from a methodological framework through specific case studies to modern applications, the book demonstrates how ancient solutions can inform contemporary challenges such as sustainable urban planning and resource management. The work's unique value lies in its integration of traditional historical analysis with modern scientific methods, making complex historical concepts accessible while maintaining scholarly rigor.

 
This approach provides readers with a comprehensive understanding of how ancient societies functioned and evolved, spanning from 10,000 BCE to 500 CE, while acknowledging ongoing debates and new discoveries in the field.

War Lord: Scourge of Rome -...

Adam Lofthouse

The BRAND NEW final instalment in Adam Lofthouse's epic Enemy of the Empire trilogy. ⚔️ If you like Matthew Harffy and Ben Kane, you will love this!
And so we have reached the end of my tale. But what are endings if not new beginnings?
Alaric has been home for a year. He went north and saved the Cimbri, just as he said he would. But the cost has been higher than he ever thought. A shadow of the War Lord he once was, he now trades in amber and dotes on his children.
A simple life. And with it, contentment. But he knew this couldn’t last forever; peace isn’t for someone like him, and sure enough trouble finds him once again. A routine journey south turns into a new and unknown wave of danger as red-cloaked legionaries attack, causing confusion and carnage.
Warriors dressed as Romans have been scouring the country, slaughtering innocent people, and leaving Roman footprints wherever they march. But things are not what they seem, and it falls to Alaric to don his armour once more, and march his Ravensworn in pursuit of a mysterious enemy that could destabilise his world beyond repair.

Free to Obey - How the Nazis...

Johann Chapoutot

What if the rules of modern capitalism were written during the Third Reich?
 
Reinhard Höhn (1904-2000) was a commander of the SS, one of Nazi Germany’s most brilliant legal minds, and an archetype of the fervid technocrats and intellectuals that built the Third Reich. Following Germany’s defeat, after a few years in hiding, he emerged in the early 1950s as the founder and director of a renowned management school in Lower Saxony.
 
Höhn’s story wouldn’t be very different from that of many other prominent Nazis if not for the fact that a vast number of Germany’s postwar business leaders—more than 600,000 executives—were educated at his management school.
 
In this fascinating book, Johann Chapoutot, one of France’s most brilliant historians, traces the profound links between Nazism and the principles of modern corporate management, our definitions of success, and a concept of personal freedom that masks rigid hierarchical structures of power and control.
 
“One of the most gifted European historians of his generation.”—Timothy Snyder, New York Times best-selling author of On Tyranny
