Beschreibung

Imperial Road Systems explores the vital role of ancient road networks in shaping empires, focusing on how these systems were more than just pathways. They were instruments of control, communication, and economic integration. The book reveals that these sophisticated systems were fundamental to projecting military power and efficiently managing resources.

 
For instance, the Roman road system allowed for rapid troop deployment and tax collection across vast territories. The book examines engineering feats and the impact of roads on political landscapes and socio-economic structures, demonstrating how these networks facilitated the spread of imperial ideologies and solidified authority.

 
Beginning with a historical context, the book progresses through case studies of the Roman road system, the Persian Royal Road, and the Inca road system (Qhapaq Ñan). This comparative approach highlights common principles and variations, offering a deeper understanding of the relationship between infrastructure and imperial power.

 
Concluding with an analysis of the long-term impact, the book assesses contributions to economic growth and cultural exchange. By drawing parallels between ancient road systems and modern infrastructure challenges, the book offers lessons for sustainable development and global connectivity, making it a valuable resource for history enthusiasts and students of classical civilization.

    Over the past five years, the Indo-Pacific region's importance for Europe has grown significantly. However, the launch of the EU Strategy for cooperation in the Indo-Pacific in September 2021 and its subsequent implementation have been affected by growing polarisation between the US and China, and by a fast-changing scenario caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine. This Report examines the state and perspectives of the EU's Indo-Pacific strategy, 18 months after its launch. Are there avenues for cooperation with regional military initiatives, such as the QUAD? How is the economic landscape changing, in particular after the start of negotiations for the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework for Prosperity (IPEF)? What are the main strategies of Indo-Pacific countries for the green transition? And how do the US, China, and ASEAN countries view and act in the Indo-Pacific region?

    From spooky stories and real-life ghost hunting, to shows about murder and serial killers, we are fascinated by death - and we owe these modern obsessions to the Victorian age.
     
    
     
    Death and the Victorians explores a period in history when the search for the truth about what lies beyond our mortal realm was matched only by the imagination and invention used to find it.
     
    
     
    Walk among London’s festering graveyards, where the dead were literally rising from the grave. Visit the Paris Morgue, where thousands flocked to view the spectacle of death every single day.
     
    
     
    Lift the veil on how spirits were invited into the home, secret societies taught ways to survive death, and the latest science and technology was applied to provide proof of the afterlife.
     
    
     
    Find out why the Victorian era is considered the golden age of the ghost story, exemplified by tales from the likes of Charles Dickens, Elizabeth Gaskell, Oscar Wilde and Henry James.
     
    
     
    Discover how the birth of the popular press nurtured our taste for murder and that Jack the Ripper was actually a work of pure Gothic horror fiction crafted by cynical Victorian newspapermen.

    A deeply personal, provocative portrait of how race, culture and sexuality intersect to reshape what it means to be an Asian man in North America today. 
     
    What does it mean to be an Asian man in North America? In this timely and insightful memoir, Ryan Cho unpacks ideas about masculinity and Asian men in a world of stereotypes and social expectations. Drawing from his own experiences and interviews with other Asian men and nonbinary people, Cho explores how culture, sexuality and race combine to influence identity. Along the way, he meets people redefining what masculinity means to them and discusses what we can do to steward a version of masculinity that is inclusive, progressive and authentic.
     
    Candid, challenging and personal, Brotherhood is a Constant Possibility invites readers to question the roles Asian men have been “allowed” to play and to imagine broader and more nuanced ways of thinking about masculinity and men.
