Sinossi

Toba Super-Eruption explores the theory that a massive volcanic event nearly wiped out humanity around 75,000 years ago. This book merges earth sciences, geography, and history to investigate the Toba super-eruption's potential role in creating a population bottleneck. It examines geological evidence, such as widespread tephra deposits, alongside genetic studies showing reduced human genetic diversity that may link to the event. The concept of a "volcanic winter" and its impact on early human survival is central to the argument. 

 
The book's unique value lies in its interdisciplinary approach, combining climatology, anthropology, and genetics to assess the likelihood of a near-extinction event. It highlights intriguing insights, such as the scale of the Toba eruption dwarfing typical volcanic events and the potential for such events to drastically alter human evolution and migration patterns. Beginning with the geological context of the eruption, the book progresses to analyze its environmental consequences and then explores genetic data supporting a population bottleneck. It offers a comprehensive assessment of the Toba bottleneck hypothesis, making it valuable for readers interested in the intersection of earth sciences, human history and the impact of natural disasters.

    Edith’s maid, Annie, while otherwise excellent in carrying out her duties, is ill tempered and disrespectful, so Dr. Damian Thatch has Edith bring her to him for a consultation. His suggested cure for such behavior in a maid is spanking and birching, which he demonstrates to his enthusiastic stepsister. 
    Edith takes particular delight in the control she has over Annie when she strips her maid for punishment, but she soon realizes that she wants more. Rather than simply punish her maid, Edith wants to take her as a man might. But the only female body she has ever touched has been her own, and what if Annie resists such treatment from her mistress? 
    Annie senses the sadistic urges developing in her mistress and is afraid that Edith will be severe in delivering punishments. She appeals to Damian for a medical solution to help control her behavior, but a maid cannot afford the services of a London physician. Damian, however, tells her of an alternative form of treatment that a mistress might perform on her maid, setting up Edith's first-time lesbian encounter with Annie bound and spread on Damian's consulting couch. 
    This is an adult only work of Victorian erotica fiction involving bondage, spanking, buggering, sadism, masochism, BDSM, and first-time lesbianism

    For nearly fifteen years, Fort Stoddert stood as a tangible symbol of America’s push to assert control over a critical frontier region. Situated on the banks of the Mobile River—about thirty miles north of the city of Mobile—near what was then the border between the United States and Spanish West Florida, the fort was established in 1799 and abandoned not long after the Creek War of 1813–14. Though its existence was brief, Fort Stoddert became a focal point for numerous key developments in the early American history of southwest Alabama. It served as the administrative center for a newly acquired territory, a strategic hub for international diplomacy, a vital link in the emerging national transportation and communication network, a launching point for American settlement and expansion, and a cornerstone in the military defense strategy for the Mississippi Territory. Despite its remarkable significance, no comprehensive history of the fort has ever been written—until now. This book uses Fort Stoddert and its pivotal role in shaping the region as a lens to explore a formative era in the development and organization of one of Alabama’s earliest American-held areas.

    First published in 2012, Borders: A Very Short Introduction began with the premise that "we live in a very bordered world." The intervening decade has witnessed a flurry of events and developments that continue to highlight the centrality of borders in contemporary domestic and international affairs, as well as the interstices between the two, including sudden surges in migrant and refugees flows; renewed emphasis on traditional border security and wall construction; growing tensions concerning maritime sovereignty; rapid advances in cybersecurity, surveillance, and biometrics; expanded detention and deportation infrastructures; proliferation of transborder organizations; revived populist and nationalist sentiments; and protectionist and integrationist trade practices, to name some prominent examples from recent headlines. 
     
     
     
    This revised edition accounts for recent developments including Brexit, the 2015 migration crisis across Europe, efforts to build a border wall between the United States and Mexico, growing isolationist and nativist sentiments, demands for indigenous homelands, transnational protest movements, Russian cross-border incursions, and insurgencies and rebellions across much of North Africa and Southwest Asia.
