Synopsis

"Roman Empire Decline" offers a compelling examination of history's most powerful empire's dissolution, methodically analyzing the complex factors that led to Rome's fall in 476 CE. The book uniquely weaves together three critical elements: political instability during the Crisis of the Third Century, severe economic deterioration, and mounting external pressures from Germanic tribes and Persian forces.

 
Through a careful examination of archaeological evidence and contemporary accounts, including writings from historians Tacitus and Ammianus Marcellinus, the text reveals how these forces worked in concert to undermine the empire's foundations. The narrative progresses chronologically from the Severan dynasty through the deposition of Romulus Augustulus, with particular focus on the tumultuous third through fifth centuries CE.

 
During this period, the empire witnessed unprecedented challenges, including the reign of 26 different emperors in just 49 years, widespread currency debasement, and evolving relationships with neighboring peoples. Rather than presenting a simplified fall-from-grace narrative, the book offers a nuanced analysis of how complex diplomatic relationships, military engagements, and cultural exchanges shaped the empire's trajectory.

 
Drawing parallels between ancient Rome and modern nation-states, the book presents fresh perspectives on long-debated topics while maintaining scholarly rigor and accessibility. It challenges readers to consider broader patterns in state governance and economic systems, making the material relevant to contemporary discussions of political and economic sustainability.

 
The analysis incorporates recent archaeological findings from across Europe and the Mediterranean, providing new insights into this pivotal period of world history.

Transforming Race Conversations...

Eugene Ellis

A guide to supporting our emergence from the tight grip of race discomfort. 
 
 
 
If we are to address the injustice of racism, we need to have the "race conversation." All too often, however, attempts at this conversation are met with silence, denial, anger, or hate. This is largely because the construct of race resides not only in our minds, but principally in the body. In order to have productive conversations about race and racism, a paradigm shift is needed—one which will empower us to remain present and embodied, rather than constricted with fear, regardless of our racial identities. 
 
 
 
Here, psychotherapist Eugene Ellis explores what is needed for this bodily shift to occur as he unpacks the visceral experience of the race conversation. He offers a trauma-informed, neurophysiological approach that emphasizes resourcing, body awareness, mindfulness, and healing. Transforming Race Conversations is essential for therapy practitioners as well as anyone looking to engage more effectively in the ongoing dialogue around race.

The Master Plan - ISIS al-Qaeda...

Brian Fishman

Given how quickly its operations have achieved global impact, it may seem that the Islamic State materialized suddenly. In fact, al-Qaeda’s operations chief, Sayf al-Adl, devised a seven-stage plan for jihadis to conquer the world by 2020 that included reestablishing the Caliphate in Syria between 2013 and 2016. Despite a massive schism between the Islamic State and al-Qaeda, al-Adl’s plan has proved remarkably prescient. In summer 2014, ISIS declared itself the Caliphate after capturing Mosul, Iraq—part of stage five in al-Adl’s plan.  
Drawing on large troves of recently declassified documents captured from the Islamic State and its predecessors, counterterrorism expert Brian Fishman tells the story of this organization’s complex and largely hidden past—and what the master plan suggests about its future.  
Only by understanding the Islamic State’s full history—and the strategy that drove it—can we understand the contradictions that may ultimately tear it apart.
