Synopsis

"Gates Of Time" explores the fascinating world of city gates, those monumental structures that once served as both defensive fortifications and powerful symbols of civic identity. These gates weren't just barriers; they reflected the social, political, and economic realities of their time. Consider the Ishtar Gate of Babylon, a vibrant display of imperial power, or the Tiananmen Gate in Beijing, each telling a unique story about the civilizations that built them.

 
The book examines the evolution of gate design across different eras, from ancient Mesopotamia to medieval Europe and imperial China, explaining the architectural innovations and engineering feats involved. It also delves into the symbolic dimensions of gates, highlighting their role in shaping cultural identity and projecting authority.

 
Through archaeological records, historical texts, and architectural drawings, the book progresses from an introduction to the origins of city gates to an analysis of their architecture and symbolic significance, and finally to the challenges of their preservation.

    The Century - Poems

    A meticulously detailed catalogue of ordinary people performing acts of extraordinary violence, The Century charts an awakening to structures of dominance and violence. In the tradition of witness poetry, The Century tugs apart the quotidian horrors required to perpetuate acts of violence like the Holocaust, the deployment of nuclear weapons in Japan and Iraq, American slavery and its lingering aftermath. When Éireann Lorsung writes of death and dying, of “bodies in the fields becoming the fields,” it’s the simplicity that’s most haunting. After a fire, “some of their skin moved off of them as they ran, a very / simple melting…” But these poems don’t just witness; they also resist and serve as models for resistant lives. Pushing back against form and grammar, constructions of time and geography, Lorsung traces decades of technological, geopolitical, and cultural shifts through generations and across continents as networks of dominance continue to be stubbornly upheld.The Century is evasive but thorny, splintering in the mind. This collection is a reminder that the arrival of each new century, decade, or year brings with it an invitation to join ongoing movements of resistance, air pockets of hope in the waters that we all swim or drown in.

    Brazil’s industrial foundations were shaped by its colonial past, rich natural resources, and evolving economic policies. The country’s transition from an agrarian economy to an industrial powerhouse was a long and complex process influenced by global trade dynamics, government intervention, and social changes. Understanding these foundations provides insight into the rise and fall of Brazil’s economic giants. 
    The origins of Brazil’s economy date back to the colonial period under Portuguese rule. Initially, the country’s economic activities were centered around agriculture, particularly the production of sugarcane, which became the backbone of Brazil’s early commerce. The Portuguese established large sugar plantations, or engenhos, along the northeastern coast, relying heavily on enslaved labor from Africa. This agricultural-based economy set the stage for Brazil’s role as a key exporter of raw materials, a trend that would persist for centuries. As global demand for sugar declined in the 17th and 18th centuries, Brazil’s economy diversified into gold mining, particularly in the state of Minas Gerais. The discovery of gold and diamonds attracted European settlers and boosted trade, but much of the wealth was extracted by the Portuguese crown, limiting local reinvestment. The reliance on commodity exports, without substantial industrial development, created a pattern that continued into modern times. 
    Brazil’s shift toward industrialization began in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, spurred by the decline of slavery, urbanization, and increasing foreign investment. The abolition of slavery in 1888 led to significant demographic changes, with many freed individuals moving to urban centers in search of work. Around the same time, European immigrants arrived in large numbers, bringing skills that contributed to Brazil’s growing workforce. The coffee boom of the late 19th century played a crucial role in financing Brazil’s early industries.

    Few military organisations have had a greater importance than the Wagner Group: at a cursory glance no more than a disreputable private mercenary group dedicated to committing war crimes yet also, astonishingly, the challengers of the Kremlin on 23-24 June, 2023-unheard of in over two decades of Vladimir Putin's rule. From its inception in 2014 this nebulous organisation operating from Russia was intentionally cloaked in questions. How was it able to operate alongside Russia's top government officials? How could it deploy the logistical systems of the Russian army up to and including ordering air attacks with fighter planes of the Russian Federation, despite the deep antipathy of Russia's powerful defence minister Sergei Shoigu? Why did the Kremlin provide such an ample helping hand to its leader, Yevgeny Prigozhin, for over a decade? In this compelling book, former Financial Times journalist Owen Wilson investigates the Wagner Group and their ties to Vladimir Putin. It skilfully sets out its history and the dramatic death of Yevgeny Prigozhin to cast a searching light on the person who ultimately stands behind the group.
