Employing a clear and engaging narrative style, Oman navigates the complexities of Byzantine governance, warfare, and religion, while situating these events within the broader context of European history. The text is underpinned by a wealth of primary sources, illustrating the empire's rich legacy and its influence on subsequent cultures, thereby making a significant contribution to historical scholarship. Charles Oman, a distinguished historian and scholar, was deeply fascinated by the meditative labyrinth of Byzantine history. His academic background in history and his thorough understanding of medieval politics provided him with a unique lens through which to interpret the intricacies of Byzantine society.

For readers intrigued by the profound interplay of culture, politics, and history, Oman's work serves as an invaluable resource. Whether you are a history student, a scholar, or simply a curious reader, 'The History of the Byzantine Empire' invites you to delve into the fascinating world of the Byzantines, illuminating their extraordinary achievements and the enduring lessons they offer.

    An incisive case for trans justice from a powerful new voice 
     
     
     
    In this brilliant introduction to trans politics, journalist Shon Faye gives an incisive overview of systemic transphobia and argues that the struggle for trans rights is necessary to any struggle for social justice. 
     
     
     
    So often, Faye argues, trans people are understood as a "side issue," the subjects of a toxic and increasingly polarized debate which generates reliable controversy for newspapers and talk shows. This media frenzy conceals a simple fact: that we are having the wrong conversation, a conversation in which trans people themselves are reduced to a talking point and denied a meaningful voice. 
     
     
     
    With skill, rigor, and heart, Faye uncovers the reality of what it means to be trans in a transphobic society. In this compellingly readable study, she explores issues of class, family, housing, healthcare, sex work, the prison system, and trans participation in the LGBTQ+ and feminist communities. What she finds, ultimately, is that when we fight for trans liberation, we fight for a better world for us all.

The novel is semi-autobiographical: Plath's own struggles with depression are well-documented, and she underwent electroconvulsive therapy as part of her "treatment".

    The Cultural Revolution, which took place in China from 1966 to 1976, was one of the most tumultuous and transformative periods in the country’s history. Initiated by Mao Zedong, the founding father of the People’s Republic of China, the movement sought to preserve Chinese communism by removing capitalist, traditional, and cultural elements from Chinese society. At its core, the Cultural Revolution aimed to enforce Maoist ideology, reaffirm his leadership, and transform the cultural, social, and political fabric of China. It was a radical attempt to reshape Chinese society by addressing perceived corruption and ideological impurity within the Communist Party and broader society. 
    Mao’s motivations for launching the Cultural Revolution were multifaceted. After the failure of the Great Leap Forward (1958-1962), which had resulted in widespread famine and economic chaos, Mao’s position within the Communist Party had been weakened. The Cultural Revolution provided Mao with an opportunity to reassert his control over the party and eliminate rivals, many of whom were seen as too moderate or resistant to his vision of a truly communist society. It also reflected Mao’s concern that China was veering away from the revolutionary ideals that had initially driven the Communist Party. 
    The movement was largely propelled by the Red Guards, a youth-based movement that encouraged the younger generation to challenge authority and remove perceived counter-revolutionary influences. Under the banner of Maoism, the Red Guards sought to destroy the "Four Olds"—old customs, old culture, old habits, and old ideas. This led to widespread destruction of cultural heritage, including temples, books, and artworks. Intellectuals, teachers, and perceived enemies of the revolution were subjected to violent persecution, public humiliation, and forced labor, with many being sent to the countryside for "re-education."
