  This collection brings together three essential studies: Social Class and Mobility, Inequality and Society, and The Power of Social Networks, offering insights into how class and socioeconomic status influence opportunities, access to resources, and life outcomes. 
  Social Class and Mobility examines the structures that define social classes and the factors that enable or hinder upward mobility. It explores the barriers and opportunities for individuals to change their class status, focusing on the roles of education, wealth, race, and family background in determining one's ability to move across social hierarchies. 
  Inequality and Society analyzes the persistent and growing disparities in wealth, power, and opportunity. The book looks at the root causes of inequality and its societal consequences, examining how systemic structures perpetuate disparities and what can be done to address them. From income inequality to access to healthcare, this book discusses the multifaceted nature of social inequality and its effects on communities. 
  The Power of Social Networks explores the crucial role that social connections play in social mobility and life chances. It discusses how networks influence access to job opportunities, resources, and social capital, and how these networks can either reinforce or challenge existing social hierarchies. The book also looks at how digital and online networks are transforming traditional social structures. 
  Together, these three books offer a comprehensive understanding of the factors that shape social class, mobility, and inequality in contemporary society. They provide an in-depth look at how individuals and communities navigate the complex terrain of class and opportunity.

  The Vanishing of Carolyn Wells -...

  The Vanishing of Carolyn Wells is the first biography of one of the “lost ladies” of detective fiction who wrote more than eighty mysteries and hundreds of other works between the 1890s and the 1940s. Carolyn Wells (1862–1942) excelled at writing country house and locked-room mysteries for a decade before Agatha Christie entered the scene. In the 1920s, when she was churning out three or more books annually, she was dubbed “about the biggest thing in mystery novels in the US.” On top of that, Wells wielded her pen in just about every literary genre, producing several immensely popular children’s books and young adult novels; beloved anthologies; and countless stories, prose, and poetry for magazines such as Thrilling Detective, Life, The Saturday Evening Post, Harper’s, and The New Yorker. All told, Wells wrote over 180 books. Some were adapted into silent films, and some became bestsellers. Yet a hundred years later, she has been all but erased from literary history. Why? How? This investigation takes us on a journey to Rahway, New Jersey, where Wells was born and is buried; to New York City’s Upper West Side, where she spent her final twenty-five years; to the Library of Congress, where Carolyn’s world-class collection of rare books now resides; and to many other public and private collections where exciting discoveries unfolded. Part biography and part sleuthing narrative, The Vanishing of Carolyn Wells recovers the life and work of a brilliant writer who was considered one of the funniest, most talented women of her time.

  Children of Mars - The Origins...

  Jeremy Armstrong

  Before the Romans could become masters of the Mediterranean, they had to first conquer the people of their own peninsula. This book explores the origins of Roman imperialism and the creation of Rome's early Italian empire, bringing new light and interpretations to this important but problematic period in Roman history. It explains how and why the Romans were able to expand their influence within Italy, often through the use of armed conflict, laying the foundations for their great imperial project. 
   
   
   
  This book critically reexamines and reframes the traditional literary narrative within an archaeologically informed, archaic Italian context. Jeremy Armstrong presents a new interpretation of the early Roman army, highlighting the fluid and family-driven character which is increasingly visible in the evidence. Children of Mars argues that the emergence of Rome's empire in Italy should not be seen as the spread of a distinct "Roman" people across Italian land, but rather the expansion of a social, political, and military network amongst the Italian people. Armstrong suggests that Rome's early empire was a fundamentally human and relational one. While this reinterpretation of early Roman imperialism is no less violent than the traditional model, it alters its core dynamic and nature, and thus shifts the entire trajectory of Rome's Republican history.
