Summary

Oak Island Pit explores the enduring mystery of Oak Island, focusing on the sophisticated 18th-century engineering behind the infamous Money Pit and its intricate flood tunnels. Rather than solely focusing on the treasure hunt narrative, the book delves into the architectural design and historical context of the site, combining archaeological findings, historical records, and engineering analyses.

 
The construction of the Money Pit involved impressive civil engineering for its time; some experts believe the flood tunnels were designed to protect something of great value, while others suggest a different purpose altogether. The book uniquely dissects the physical evidence, such as wood samples and structural components, to analyze the site's original intent. It argues that understanding the engineering principles employed is key to unraveling the mystery.

 
The historical context explores potential motivations for such an elaborate system, considering the geopolitical landscape of the 1700s, including piracy and naval warfare.

 
The book progresses logically, starting with an introduction to the Oak Island mystery and subsequent excavation attempts. It then analyzes archaeological findings and delves into the engineering aspects of the flood system, using detailed diagrams and comparative analyses. Finally, it integrates historical records and maps to contextualize the findings, offering a data-driven approach to this Canadian mystery that moves beyond speculative theories.

    Multiple crises have shaken the foundations of the global economy, and the resulting instability has yet to recover. Instead, it has led to increasing fragmentation along political and ideological lines. The current geoeconomic order is increasingly defined by the use of advanced trade defense and economic security tools, such as tariffs, trade barriers, sanctions, and export restrictions, which have become more sophisticated. Major economies are adapting to this new reality by shaping their own definitions of economic security, particularly to safeguard critical and high-tech sectors. The EU, the US, and China are each calibrating their economic security strategies, seeking a balance between openness and protection that maximizes their respective advantages. However, in this shifting international landscape, new actors are emerging with the potential to influence the global balance of power.
What type of "new globalization" is emerging? Could economic security tools become the new normal in the global economy? What are the key economic security strategies adopted by the world's leading economies?

    Clever Girl: Jurassic Park

    A smart and incisive exploration of everyone’s favorite dinosaur movie and the female dinosaurs who embody what it means to be angry, monstrous, and free 
The Jurassic Park series is one of the most famous and profitable movie franchises of all time — an entire generation of people has never known life without these CGI dinosaurs. The movie spectacle broke film and merchandising records, pioneered special effects, and made Jeff Goldblum into an unlikely sex symbol, and now it has also been re-envisioned as a classic of queer feminist storytelling. 
In Clever Girl, Hannah McGregor argues that the female-only dinosaurs of Jurassic Park are stand-ins for monstrous women, engineered by men to be intelligent, violent, and adaptive, and whose chaos resists the systems designed to control them. As they run wild through their prison, a profit-driven theme park, they destroy the men and structures who mistakenly believed in their own colonialist and capitalist power, showing the audience what it means to be angry, monstrous, and free. The velociraptors were not just jump scares for children but also revelatory and predatory symbols of feminist rage. Clever girls, indeed.
