  The Expansion of the European...

  The European Union (EU) stands as one of the most ambitious projects of regional integration in modern history. The concept of a unified Europe, born out of the devastation of World War II, has evolved from an economic community among six founding nations to a political and economic powerhouse with 27 member states. The expansion of the EU has been a gradual process, driven by the desire to promote peace, stability, and prosperity across the continent. This expansion has not only reshaped the political landscape of Europe but also influenced the global order in profound ways. 
    
  The early history of the EU was marked by the establishment of the European Economic Community (EEC) in 1957, aimed at fostering economic cooperation and reducing the likelihood of future conflicts. Over time, the EEC transformed into the European Union, encompassing broader goals such as political cooperation, human rights, and environmental standards. Each enlargement of the EU has brought new nations into this framework, solidifying the idea of a united Europe. The process of integrating new member states, however, has not been without its challenges. Issues of economic disparity, political alignment, and social integration have tested the limits of the union and sparked debates about the future direction of the EU. 
    
  The most significant expansion occurred in 2004, when ten countries, predominantly from Central and Eastern Europe, joined the EU in a historic enlargement. This expansion marked the end of the Cold War divide and brought former communist nations into the European fold. Yet, it also highlighted the complexities of integrating countries with differing political histories, economic conditions, and social structures. The subsequent expansions in 2007 and 2013 saw Romania, Bulgaria, and Croatia join the EU, furthering the union’s reach into the Balkans.

  In an era of mass migration in which more than 100 million people are displaced comes this lyrical portrait of Syrian and Iraqi refugees and the belongings they carry. What We Remember Will Be Saved is a book of hope, home, and the stories we hold within us when everything else has been lost. 
   
   
   
  Journalist and scholar Stephanie Saldaña, who lived in Syria before the war, sets out on a journey across nine countries to meet refugees and learn what they salvaged from the ruins when they escaped. Now, in the narratives of six extraordinary women and men, from Mt. Sinjar to Aleppo to Lesvos to Amsterdam, we discover that the little things matter a great deal. Saldaña introduces us to a woman who saved her city in a dress, a musician who saved his stories in songs, and a couple who rebuilt their destroyed pharmacy even as the city around them fell apart. Together they provide a window into a religiously diverse corner of the Middle East on the edge of unraveling, and the people keeping it alive with their stories. 
   
   
   
  Born of years of friendship and reporting, What We Remember Will Be Saved is a breathtaking, elegiac odyssey into the heart of the largest refugee crisis in modern history.

  The Evolution of Peru's Economy...

  Peru’s economy has undergone a remarkable transformation over the centuries, shaped by geography, cultural heritage, and global economic forces. From the highly organized economic structures of pre-Colonial civilizations to the challenges of modern globalization, Peru’s development reflects a complex interplay of resource management, foreign influence, and domestic policies. Understanding the evolution of Peru’s economy requires a historical perspective that highlights the fundamental shifts in trade, industry, and governance that have defined the nation’s financial landscape.  
    
  The economic foundations of Peru were deeply influenced by its diverse geography and rich natural resources. The Andes, Amazon rainforest, and coastal plains provided a variety of ecosystems that supported agriculture, mining, and trade. Long before Spanish colonization, the Andean civilizations, particularly the Incas, developed sophisticated economic systems that relied on communal labor, redistribution networks, and agricultural innovations. These early economic structures created a foundation for productivity and social organization that persisted even after European intervention.  
    
  The arrival of the Spanish in the 16th century drastically altered Peru’s economic trajectory. The colonial period introduced extractive systems, such as the encomienda and mita, which forced indigenous populations into labor-intensive industries, particularly silver mining. This period established Peru as a key contributor to the Spanish Empire’s wealth but also entrenched an economic model centered on resource extraction and dependency on European markets. The restrictions imposed by Spain limited Peru’s economic autonomy, setting the stage for struggles following independence.
