  This book traces the dramatic stories of five of the most influential empires in medieval and late antiquity, exploring how they rose to greatness, maintained control, and ultimately declined or transformed. 
  Begin with The Fall of Rome, the collapse that set the stage for the medieval world. Learn how internal strife, economic decay, and barbarian invasions led to the downfall of one of history’s greatest civilizations, creating a power vacuum that reshaped Europe. 
  Discover The Byzantine Empire, the eastern continuation of Rome, which blended Roman governance, Orthodox Christianity, and Greek culture to become a resilient power for over a thousand years. From Justinian’s legal reforms to the fall of Constantinople, its story is one of cultural brilliance and gradual decline. 
  Explore the fragmented yet enduring structure of The Holy Roman Empire, a complex patchwork of territories that struggled to balance local autonomy with imperial ambition. This section reveals the ongoing conflicts between emperors and popes, as well as the empire's role in shaping central Europe. 
  Witness the unstoppable rise of The Mongol Empire, the largest contiguous land empire in world history. Led by Genghis Khan and his successors, it connected East and West through conquest, terror, and unexpected cultural exchange. 
  Finally, delve into The Rise of the Ottoman Empire, a story of transformation from a frontier beylik into a formidable Islamic empire that would eventually absorb Byzantine lands and challenge Europe for centuries. 
  Together, these five empires showcase the complexity, ambition, and fragility of medieval powers—and how their legacies continue to influence the world today.

  Race for Nuclear Weapons during...

  Before the Second World War, military conflicts were fought under orthodox conditions, usually termed “conventional warfare,” but several innovations had significantly changed combat, leading inextricably to the race for a nuclear weapon in the 1930s and 1940s. Conflicts had been fought by armies on horseback with guns of varying sophistication since the 16th century, but mechanized warfare and machine guns changed this calculus and set the stage for future combat by the end of World War I. Other sinister changes entered the fray during this conflict, such as chemical weapons like chlorine and mustard gas. The total warfare brought about by World War I and ensuing wars like the Spanish Civil War made the quest for the most powerful weapons somewhat necessary. 
  The Manhattan Project would ultimately yield the “Little Boy” and “Fat Man” bombs that released more than 100 Terajoules of energy at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, but as it turned out, the Axis were not far behind with their own nuclear weapons program. When the Nazis’ quest for a nuclear weapon began in earnest in 1939, no one really had a handle on how important nuclear weapons would prove to war and geopolitics. The attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945, along with the Cold War-era tests and their accompanying mushroom clouds, would demonstrate the true power and terror of nuclear weapons, but in the late 1930s these bombs were only vaguely being thought through, particularly after the successful first experiment to split the atom by a German scientist. The nuclear age itself was in its infancy, barely 35 years old, but within a few short years the advent of nuclear war loomed over the world and the prospect of the enemy winning the nuclear race kept Allied leaders awake at night.

  Making Politics Work - Practical...

  An expansive study shows how politics can work for, not just against, efforts to improve America’s schools. The education reform project has always been about making America’s schools more effective for the children who attend them. In Making Politics Work, authors Paul T. Hill and Ashley E. Jochim show that this project cannot succeed without mastering what is the single largest constraint on its success: politics.Drawing upon more than a decade of work with dozens of school systems, Hill and Jochim show how failures to secure political support or mitigate inevitable opposition dooms the education reform project from the start. But this outcome is not inevitable. By tracing the evolution of the “portfolio strategy” across 27 localities that implemented it, they uncover practical lessons that superintendents, state leaders, and foundation officials can use to increase the likelihood that their ideas for improving public education don’t join the list of once-promising initiatives that could not be sustained in the face of intractable political conflict.

  The World Wars of the 20th century caused massive upheavals all over the world. Often overlooked by history are the extraordinary true-life stories of the brave women from the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand who enlisted in the Allied forces in their thousands to serve as nurses behind the front lines, at great danger to themselves. And while men shot to kill in the North African, European, and the Pacific theaters of war, nurses served right behind them, armed with tools of healing rather than warfare. 
  These untold true stories of women heroes of WWII paint a vivid picture of life as a military nurse—from makeshift field hospitals in France to bombed-out station hospitals in Belgium to journeys fraught with danger on ambulance trains, air ambulances, and hospital ships. 
  Inside Nightingales, Bluebirds & Angels of Mercy: True Stories of the Courage and Heroism of Nurses on the Front Line in WWII, you’ll learn the true stories of nurses in the Second World War, including 
  ●      what it was like for a woman to join the armed services as a nurse and travel across the world to do her duty, 
  ●      the challenges and dangers the Allied nurses faced on the front lines, as well as the camaraderie and wartime romances they experienced, 
  ●      how these women confronted changing social norms around gender and race, 
  ●      true stories of survival at the hands of enemy forces in Japanese prisoner-of-war camps, and more. 
  The stories of these brave women are an inspiring record of duty and selflessness. If you haven’t yet met heroes such as Vivian Bullwinkel and Margot Turner, you’ll definitely want to listen to this book.
