Summary

"Inka History" offers a captivating exploration of one of history's most intriguing civilizations, challenging long-held assumptions about the Inka Empire. This comprehensive book delves into the empire's rise, complex social structures, and enduring innovations, arguing that the Inka were far more sophisticated and influential than previously recognized. By integrating recent archaeological discoveries, Spanish colonial records, and indigenous oral histories, the book presents a nuanced view of Inka achievements and their place in world history.

 
The narrative progresses logically, starting with the origins of Inka civilization and its rapid expansion, before exploring daily life, religion, and scientific advancements. Readers are introduced to the empire's remarkable feats, such as sustainable agriculture techniques and efficient governance systems that continue to fascinate scholars today. The book's interdisciplinary approach, connecting anthropology, archaeology, and environmental studies, provides a holistic understanding of this pre-Columbian society.

 
What sets this work apart is its accessibility and scholarly rigor, making it valuable for both general readers and academics. By challenging Eurocentric views and highlighting the Inka's technological and cultural contributions, "Inka History" invites readers to reconsider their understanding of world history and the legacy of indigenous American civilizations.

    "What mattered was that someone listened to me. Someone believed me, after 25 years. That means everything." 
 
A mum of three who was abused and raped as a child by her own father has revealed her ordeal drove her into the clutches of middle-aged paedophiles. 
 
Trish Hinde, 35, was sexually abused by her father, Gerard King, from the age of six. Alone and scared, she internalised her trauma and began suffering from violent seizures. Her father took responsibility for her epilepsy care, even abusing her on hospital visits. 
 
Trish and her five siblings were neglected, often relying on neighbours for food and watching helplessly as bailiffs carried away their possessions. In her early teens, Trish was recklessly promiscuous and became a victim of child sexual exploitation, often finding herself in danger. 
 
She reported her childhood abuse many times, in letters to family members and social workers, in an essay she wrote at school, to a therapist and to NSPCC. But, despite her father being jailed for abusing another child, her complaint never went any further. Trish became suicidal and despairing. Her relationships seemed doomed because she had damaging flashbacks and seizures whenever she became intimate. 
 
But in 2015, she met her husband, Craig, and found true happiness. They had three children, Jacob, now six, Oscar, five and Jessica, three. But Trish was overly protective of her children and did not like her husband looking after their daughter. Realising her past history was damaging her marriage, she decided to go to the police. This time, at last, they listened. 
 
In April 2022, Gerard King, 59, was convicted of rape, indecent assault and indecency with a child at Chester Crown Court. Trish maintains the court case and conviction were not important to her.

    Procopius appeared to be a loyal part of the Byzantine establishment, his official writing glorifying the deeds of the Emperor Justinian (d. AD 565). However, he also produced a work that he knew could never be published within the Emperor’s lifetime: The Secret History, a vitriolic indictment of the rule of Justinian and his wife Theodora.In The Secret History, the general Belisarius is presented as an idiot who is manipulated by his conniving wife Antonina, while the Emperor is depicted as a demon king, a dishonest and autocratic destroyer of established institutions. The Empress Theodora doesn’t escape Procopius’ invective – she is portrayed as the antithesis of the traditional Roman matron: depraved, brutal and bloodthirsty.

    Macaulay's review essay on Frederick the Great of Prussia is found in vol. iii of his Critical and Historical Essays, and concentrates primarily on the ways in which he built Prussia up into a major military power. Though it's impossible to read the essay without thinking ahead to the Franco-Prussian war of 1870 and the two world wars of the twentieth century, Macaulay of course only carries Frederick roughly up to the end of the Seven Years War (1763).
