Crawford's literary style is marked by an evocative language that brings the past to life, suitable for both scholarly examination and general readership, as it captures Venice's essence within the broader European context of its time. F. Marion Crawford, an American author and playwright of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, was deeply enamored with Italy, particularly Venice, where he spent considerable time. His profound appreciation for its culture and history is matched by his background in literature, which lends authority and insight to his examination of the city.

    Gun Control. Abortion. From the halls of Congress, it may seem that Americans are bitterly polarized on the biggest policy issues of the day. But Americans are not as divided as we think, and polls show that most of us largely agree on even the most divisive issues. The problem lies in how we vote. 
     
      
     
    Politics is more extreme because only the most extreme voters turn out in primaries. And with politicians prioritizing reelection above all else, they shun compromise, feed this extremism, and get rewarded for it. If a lot more people vote, the views of the electorate become more mainstream, and our politicians and policies will shift to the center. 
     
      
     
    Mobile voting is the solution. We do just about everything on our phones, and yet we still can't use them to vote. But the technology exists, provides enhanced security over traditional paper ballots, and it could exponentially increase voter turnout. 
     
      
     
    Including essays by Martin Luther King Jr. III, David Hogg, and other prominent political figures, Vote with Your Phone shows us that a solution to restoring faith in our representative democracy is right in the palm of our hands.

  • Victory for the Axis - How World War II Might Have Been Won - cover

    Victory for the Axis - How World...

    World War II was a conflict shaped by countless strategic decisions, moments of chance, and pivotal battles. While the Axis powers achieved stunning victories in the early years, several key turning points ultimately led to their downfall. But what if just a few of these moments had played out differently? Could the Axis have secured victory? 
    One of the most significant turning points was the Battle of Britain. After the fall of France in 1940, Germany stood at the doorstep of the United Kingdom, preparing for a possible invasion. The Luftwaffe launched a fierce aerial assault, aiming to cripple British defenses and force a surrender. However, the Royal Air Force, supported by radar technology and an unyielding civilian spirit, held firm. If the Luftwaffe had adjusted its strategy—focusing more on airfields instead of shifting to city bombings—the RAF might have been overwhelmed. A weakened Britain could have been forced to negotiate peace, removing a major Allied power from the war. 
    Another crucial moment came with Operation Barbarossa, Germany’s invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941. Hitler’s decision to open an Eastern Front spread Axis forces thin and underestimated Soviet resilience. If the invasion had started earlier in the year, avoiding the brutal Russian winter, German forces might have reached Moscow before Soviet reinforcements stabilized the front. Additionally, had Germany prioritized capturing Soviet oil fields in the Caucasus over direct assaults on major cities, the Wehrmacht could have sustained its war machine much longer. A Soviet collapse would have left Germany dominant in Europe, free to shift its focus elsewhere.

    What if Alexander the Great never died in Babylon? 
    Empire Rewritten reimagines a world where the most brilliant conqueror of the ancient world lives on—and reshapes everything. From surviving the fever that took him in his prime, to confronting rebellion in Greece and forging a global army, this book explores the turning point of a life extended and a history rewritten. 
    This is not dry historical theory. It's living, breathing storytelling—deeply human, yet rich with global vision. With immersive characters, geopolitical stakes, and a reimagined ancient world pulsing with possibility, Empire Rewritten is the beginning of an epic journey that spans not just continents—but ideas. 
    This first book covers Alexander's survival, the renewed Persian dream, his growing spiritual aura, the resistance from within Greece, and his deeper dive into unifying cultures by choice, not force. This is where myth meets the realpolitik of empire—and a different future begins.

    The Illusion of Control - Why...

    A challenge to the conventional wisdom surrounding financial risk, providing insight into why easy solutions to control the financial system are doomed to fail 
     
     
      
    Finance plays a key role in the prosperity of the modern world—but it also brings grave dangers. We seek to manage those threats with a vast array of sophisticated mathematical tools and techniques of financial risk management. Too often, though, we fail to address the greatest risk—the peril posed by our own behavior. 
     
     
      
    Jón Daníelsson argues that critical risk is generated from within, through the interactions of individuals and perpetuated by their beliefs, objectives, abilities, and prejudices. He asserts that the widespread belief that risk originates outside the financial system frustrates our ability to measure and manage it, and the likely consequences of new regulations will help alleviate small-scale risks but, perversely, encourage excessive risk taking. Daníelsson uses lessons from past and recent crises to show that diversity is the best way to safeguard our financial system.
