  Flipping Patriarchy - Imagining...

  Man Who Has It All

  An explosive satire of gender stereotypes that flips patriarchy on its head to highlight sexist double standards. 
   
  Exploring subjects like work and comedy, history and sport, the beauty industry and domesticity, anonymous author Man Who Has It All imagines a world in which men are bombarded with the same stereotypical bullshit as women. What if men's t-shirts were emblazoned with slogans encouraging them to be smiley, positive and kind? What if we laughed at jokes about fathers-in-law and male drivers? What if men's history was a niche topic? Behind the jokes about crazy cat gentlemen, testerical men and the 24-hour moustache, lies a deeper, darker message about language, power and control. 
   
  Smart and provocative, Man Who Has It All shines a powerful light on the prejudice ingrained in our society. Told through fictionalised scenarios and wider cultural analysis, this is a feminist handbook that will arm you against the patriarchy.

  The Human Planet - How We...

  An exploration of the Anthropocene and “a relentless reckoning of how we, as a species, got ourselves into the mess we’re in today” (The Wall Street Journal). 
   
  Meteorites, mega-volcanoes, and plate tectonics—the old forces of nature—have transformed Earth for millions of years. They are now joined by a new geological force—humans. Our actions have driven Earth into a new geological epoch, the Anthropocene. For the first time in our home planet's 4.5-billion-year history a single species is increasingly dictating Earth’s future. 
   
  To some the Anthropocene symbolizes a future of superlative control of our environment. To others it is the height of hubris, the illusion of our mastery over nature. Whatever your view, just below the surface of this odd-sounding scientific word—the Anthropocene—is a heady mix of science, philosophy, history, and politics linked to our deepest fears and utopian visions. 
   
  Tracing our environmental impacts through time, scientists Simon Lewis and Mark Maslin reveal a new view of human history and a new outlook for the future of humanity in the unstable world we have created.

  In the early days of the Roman Empire, provinces played a pivotal role in maintaining and expanding Roman control over vast territories. The establishment and management of these provinces were essential to Rome’s transition from a republic to an imperial power. As the empire grew, the need for efficient governance led to the development of a provincial system that would become the backbone of Roman administration. 
  The formation of Roman provinces began during the Republic, but it was under Augustus, the first emperor, that the system became more structured and organized. Augustus divided the provinces into two categories: senatorial and imperial. Senatorial provinces were typically peaceful and long-standing territories governed by proconsuls appointed by the Senate. In contrast, imperial provinces were often frontier areas or regions requiring a significant military presence, administered by legates appointed by the emperor. This division allowed Augustus to maintain control over the army while giving the Senate a role in governance. 
  Provincial boundaries were often drawn based on previous territorial conquests or strategic needs. As Rome continued to expand, new provinces were added, including those in the east after the defeat of Egypt and in the west following the conquest of Gaul and Hispania. Each new territory brought diverse cultures and
