Synopsis

Throughout history, powerful empires and nations have risen to global dominance—only to fall, often as quickly as they ascended. The Rise and Fall of Great Powers: Lessons from History examines the patterns, principles, and pivotal moments behind the successes and failures of history’s greatest powers, from ancient empires to modern superpowers. This insightful exploration reveals why some nations achieve enduring influence, while others crumble under the weight of their own ambitions.By studying the economic, military, cultural, and political forces that shape empires, this book identifies recurring themes and critical decisions that have defined the fate of civilizations. From the might of Rome to the Golden Age of China, from the British Empire to the United States and beyond, The Rise and Fall of Great Powers draws lessons from the triumphs and missteps of history’s most influential powers. Each chapter provides a deep dive into the strategies and challenges faced by these nations, offering insights into what enabled them to thrive and what ultimately led to their decline.This book not only recounts historical events but also considers the implications for today’s global landscape. As modern nations navigate the complex pressures of economic competition, political instability, technological change, and environmental crises, the stories of past empires offer valuable insights into the factors that can sustain—or undermine—a nation’s power.Ideal for history enthusiasts, students of international relations, and anyone intrigued by the dynamics of power, The Rise and Fall of Great Powers provides a roadmap to understanding the forces that continue to shape our world. Whether you’re interested in the leadership strategies that hold nations together or the vulnerabilities that hasten their fall, this book reveals why the lessons of history are as relevant now as they’ve ever been.

    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.
     
    
     
    Death and the Victorians exposes the darker side of the nineteenth century, a time when the living were inventing incredible ways to connect with the dead that endure to this day.

    The Language of Climate Politics...

    In an illuminating analysis, Dr. Genevieve Guenther shows that the climate debate is not, in fact, neatly polarized, with Republicans obstructing climate action and Democrats advancing climate solutions. Partisans on the right and the left often repeat the same fossil-fuel talking points, and this repetition produces a centrist consensus upholding the status quo, even as global heating accelerates. 
     
     
     
    Weaving this analysis through fascinating critical histories of the terms that dominate the language of climate politics—the words we, alarmist, cost, growth, "India and China," innovation, and resilience—Dr. Guenther shows how this consensus is established. Fossil-fuel interests weaponize the discourses of science, economics, and activism, co-opting and twisting climate language to help greenwash their plans for ongoing extraction. But all too often climate scientists, economists, and even advocates will unwittingly echo the false and dangerous assumptions of their supposed political opponents. This apparent agreement between foes, filtered through the news media, not only influences our commonsense yet mistaken views about the climate crisis but also enables powerful decisionmakers to justify the corporate and policy actions that threaten us all. Revealing this dynamic, Guenther shows how to transform it.

    It seems so much is going wrong in America. Some say it’s because our leaders are incompetent. Others think it’s merely a coincidence. But to millions of concerned Americans, those simplistic explanations no longer ring true. 
    Instead, they sense something else is going on… 
    Kevin Freeman is one of them. Drawing on his deep expertise in investigative analysis, he took a hard look at all that America is going through. Piecing together historical evidence and current events, he made a shocking discovery: 
    The crises now facing America are happening according to plan. 
    Decades in the making, it is a plan to take down the greatest obstacle to totalitarianism the world has ever known: the United States. And it’s a plan that will succeed—unless we join together now to save America.
