  The New Middle East - What...

  In the second edition of The New Middle East, renowned scholar James L. Gelvin explains how in the aftermath of the collapse of the USSR, the American invasion of Iraq, and the Arab uprisings of 2010-11, a new Middle East has emerged. Syria, Libya, and Yemen have become "crisis states," where warlords vie against governments and each other. The economies of Iran, Turkey, and Lebanon, weakened by corruption, sanctions, and neoliberal economic policies, have imploded. Some states have doubled-down on repression, while others intervene in the internal affairs of their neighbors with impunity. 
   
   
   
  This edition explores these hallmarks of the New Middle East, along with the end of American hegemony in the region, the expansion of "conflict zones," the continued centrality of the Saudi-Iranian competition, and the ramifications of the breakdown of the Israel-Palestine peace process. It also highlights the crisis of human security brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, bad governance, stagnant economies, poor healthcare and educational delivery systems, climate change, food and water insecurity, population growth and imbalance, and the unprecedented displacement of populations. Gelvin outlines the social, political, and economic contours of the New Middle East, illuminating the current crisis in the region and exploring how it is likely to evolve in the decades to come.

  The Poverty of the World -...

  In The Poverty of the World, Sheyda Jahanbani brings together the histories of United States foreign relations and domestic politics to explain why, during a period of unprecedented affluence, Americans rediscovered poverty and supported major policy initiative to combat it. Revisiting a moment of triumph for American liberals in the 1940s, Jahanbani shows how the United States's newfound role as a global superpower prompted novel ideas among liberal thinkers about how to address poverty and generated new urgency for trying to do so. Their sense of responsibility about deploying American knowledge and wealth as a beneficent force in the world, produced such foreign aid programs as the Peace Corps. 
   
   
   
  Drawing on a wide variety of archival material, Jahanbani reinterprets the lives and work of prominent liberal figures in postwar American social politics to show the global origins of their ideas. By tracing how American liberals invented the problem of "global poverty" and executed a war against it, The Poverty of the World sheds new light on the domestic impacts of the Cold War, the global ambitions of American liberalism, and the way in which key intellectuals and policymakers worked to develop an alternative vision of United States empire in the decades after World War II.

  Historical LOLs: When the Past's...

  Funny History Bites

  In this book, we take you to meet history's most unforgettable comedians, namely humanity itself. We will explore how Christopher Columbus, dreaming of reaching India, accidentally set foot in America; how Marie Antoinette's "let them eat cake" remark led to a misunderstanding; and how Napoleon, by losing his hat at Waterloo, lost both the battle and his prestige. 
  The book will not only help us understand the past but also show us how unchangeable human nature is, how funny it can be, and how laughter can build connections even in the most serious moments. For instance, think of Archimedes' "Eureka!" moment from his bath; today, this could have been a YouTube sensation. Or imagine Neil Armstrong forgetting his camera on the Moon; this would surely cause a storm on Twitter, perhaps even trending with the hashtag #MoonCamCrisis. 
  Moreover, in these pages, you'll witness the Vikings accidentally discovering America while searching for Iceland, the Wright brothers' flight trials filled with arguments about who would fly first, 
  Edison's comical experiments with the light bulb, and even the morale-boosting power of music during the sinking of the Titanic. Each story is revitalized with modern technology, culture, and humor, offering you a chance to learn about history while laughing out loud. 
   With "Historical LOLs," we will revisit history's funniest moments, embedding them into today's digital age, social media, and humor, recalling the past with a new, laughing perspective. 
  Because history is not just filled with lessons, wars, and revolutions, but also with laughter. 
  This book brings together the comedic anecdotes of the past with today's technological and cultural world, spotlighting history's most ludicrous aspects. 
  Are you ready? 
  Then let's embark on a time-traveling journey to laugh together at history's most comical moments!
