Sinossi

Wallets and Trade explores the surprising history of the wallet, revealing how this everyday object mirrors shifts in both economic systems and personal identity. The book traces the wallet's journey from a simple pouch to a complex symbol of status and financial activity. Did you know that early wallets, dating back millennia, served basic utilitarian purposes? As societies transitioned from bartering to complex monetary economies, the wallet adapted, reflecting economic changes and innovations.

 
The book progresses chronologically, examining the wallet's role in ancient economies, during pivotal periods like the rise of mercantilism and the Industrial Revolution, and in our contemporary digital age. It uses diverse evidence—archaeological findings, historical analyses of trade, and sociological studies—to demonstrate how wallet design and usage reflect broader social and economic trends.

 
Ultimately, Wallets and Trade provides readers with a unique lens for understanding the cultural and economic significance of everyday objects, highlighting the often-overlooked connections between material culture, consumer behavior, and socio-economic forces.

    How much do you know about the lives of bisexual men who are married to women? Bisexual people make up a majority of the LGBT+ community, but they are still relatively hidden and misunderstood. Robert Brooks Cohen aims to address this invisibility by sharing a collection of interviews with Bi+ men who are or were married to women, helping listeners find connection, understanding, and community. 
     
     
     
    Their experience is often erased as "not queer enough," but these men are queer, and they are challenging societal norms in important and innovative ways. Written by the host of Two Bi Guys, this book intersperses Robert's bisexual journey with the diverse stories of other Bi+ men to help normalize sexual fluidity and create more awareness and compassion. This book shares interviews with men and a few of their wives from a wide array of cultural and regional backgrounds, religious family structures, and more, helping bisexual men find pride, validation, and joy in their sexual identity. 
     
     
     
    This book is written about and for bisexual and questioning men so they can see their experience represented. However, it is also for their partners, family, and friends—as well as students, researchers, clinicians with bisexual clients, and allies—so that they can better understand the unique challenges of this identity and provide meaningful support.

    The world is entering a new nuclear age. Nuclear weapons are returning to the fore of international statecraft in ways unseen since the Cold War. With major powers like Russia issuing threats of nuclear strikes, China and North Korea continuing to grow their arsenals, and new prospects for proliferation from the Middle East to East Asia, the world has been thrust into a new era of heightened nuclear risk. 
     
     
     
    In this incisive book, international security expert Ankit Panda explores the enduring and emerging factors that are contributing to this new nuclear age. From strained great power ties to complex multipolar dynamics and the precipitous decline of arms control, he shows how our coexistence with the bomb is becoming more complicated and perilous. The prospect of nuclear escalation is again shaping how political decision-makers and military establishments around the world think and act. But unlike the peril of the Cold War, a greater number of nuclear players and a plethora of new technologies, including AI and exotic new weapons, make the search for stability far from straightforward. Managing the risks of a nuclear confrontation, he argues, will require new urgency and thinking to pull us back from the precipice of global catastrophe.

    From the Rockies to the Himalayas, the bond between horses and humans has spanned across time and civilizations. In this archaeological journey, William T. Taylor explores how momentous events in the story of humans and horses helped create the world we live in today. Tracing the horse's origins and spread from the western Eurasian steppes to the invention of horse-drawn transportation and the explosive shift to mounted riding, Taylor offers a revolutionary new account of how horses altered the course of human history. 
     
      
      
    Drawing on Indigenous perspectives, ancient DNA, and new research from Mongolia to the Great Plains and beyond, Taylor guides listeners through the major discoveries that have placed the horse at the origins of globalization, trade, biological exchange, and social inequality. Hoof Beats transforms our understanding of both horses and humanity's ancient past and asks us to consider what our relationship with horses means for the future of humanity and the world around us.
