Summary

Venetian Trade Network explores how Venice, a city uniquely situated on a lagoon, rose to become a dominant force in global commerce and finance. It highlights Venice's strategic control over Mediterranean trade routes and its pioneering banking systems, which collectively fueled the European Renaissance. The book argues that Venetian success wasn't accidental but a result of deliberate strategies in maritime commerce and financial innovation.

 
The book examines Venice's control of Mediterranean trade, its groundbreaking financial instruments, such as early forms of credit, and the profound impact of this economic power on the Renaissance. For example, Venice's strategic position allowed it to amass wealth and fund artistic masterpieces.

 
The narrative progresses by first establishing Venice's geographical and political context, then tracing the rise of its maritime power and sophisticated banking systems, and finally analyzing the impact of Venetian wealth on the Renaissance.

 
This book distinguishes itself by integrating a detailed analysis of Venetian financial innovations with a broader understanding of their impact on Renaissance culture, offering fresh insights into Venice's multifaceted influence. By examining the interplay between finance, trade, and cultural production, readers gain a comprehensive understanding of Venice's role in shaping the world.

    Jürgen Said to Me is a human-interest story centred around Liverpool FC's most successful and charismatic leader of recent times. It charts Jürgen Klopp's impact on Liverpool through the voice of the author and those at the heart of his revival. 
 
In October 2015, Klopp took the helm at Liverpool at a time when the famous club were entering a third decade of league-title drought. The German coach had prospered with his brand of 'heavy-metal football', but little was known about his personality beyond an obvious energy and charisma. He entered a city steeped in personality, history and trauma - a place where the people demand more than a mere coach to lead their clubs. 
 
Klopp's social influence has stretched to matters such as diversity, the economy, the COVID-19 pandemic and local history. The book explores the human impact of a man who single-handedly harnessed togetherness and the global unity of millions, while reshaping one of the most famous cities in the world.
