  The Shortest History of France -...

  France is the most popular tourist destination in the world, thanks to its unsurpassed cultural and historical riches. Gothic architecture, Louis XIV opulence, revolutionary spirit, café society, haute cuisine and couture . . . what could be more quintessentially French? 
   
   
   
  Rarely, however, do we think of France as a melting pot, and yet historian Colin Jones asserts it's no less a mélange of foreign ingredients than the United States, and by some measures more. As nationalism and anti-immigration rhetoric surge in France (and elsewhere), The Shortest History of France presents a portrait of a nation whose politics and society have always been shaped by global forces. Grounded in up-to-date historical scholarship that avoids the traps of national exceptionalism, Jones reminds us that it was only after the first millennium of French history that a nation-state began to emerge. 
   
   
   
  France has been home to the Enlightenment, The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and The Paris Agreement. Meanwhile, its darker moments have included the Vichy regime and the Algerian War, along with persistent racism, police brutality, and civil unrest. From the serious to the sublime, The Shortest History of France is a dynamic, global story enhanced with touches of cultural radiance—truly a retelling for our times.

  It has become a common theme in today’s world to talk about the incredible technological and economic development of modern China. However, there are very strong historical roots to the exponential growth of modern China going back thousands and thousands of years. 
  Today, people stand in awe of China’s achievements, such as lifting hundreds of millions of people from poverty or becoming a global power. But have you ever wondered how the ancient people from the Far East developed so much while being virtually independent of other civilizations? 
  Not everything in China’s history is tied to growth, improvement, and development. There were many periods riddled with internal strife, which plagued China and its numerous dynasties. However, the Chinese empires were somewhat shielded from external dangers, partially thanks to the ingeniousness of the Chinese and the famous Great Wall of China and partially thanks to the country’s geographic position. 
  In this audiobook, we look into how and why the historical pendulum of China sometimes turned one way and then the other. Discover the following about ancient China:The deep, virtually unfathomable paleolithic roots of Chinese civilization;Neolithic China and the formation of the Yellow River and Yangtze settlements;The Age of Metal in China, a glorious but increasingly violent period that resulted in the emergence of the first hegemons in China;The mythical Xia dynasty and its fantastic Yu the Great, credited with taming the Yellow River;The birth of China’s fascinating writing system during the Shang dynasty;The rise of the Zhou, who finally overthrew the Shang, thanks to their military prowess and ability to keep numerous Chinese states tied in a loose feudal system;And so much more!

  Global Puppet Masters -...

  In the modern world, understanding the foundations of global influence is essential to comprehend how power operates on the world stage. Power, in this context, refers to the ability of an actor—be it a nation-state, corporation, or non-governmental organization—to shape outcomes and direct events. Global influence manifests through various mechanisms, from economic leverage to cultural dominance, from military might to technological advancement. These power structures are not static; they evolve and adapt, shifting with changing political landscapes, societal developments, and technological innovations. To better understand these complexities, it is vital to define and explore the different types of power that govern global interactions. 
  The concept of power can be categorized into three primary types: hard power, soft power, and smart power. Hard power is the use of force or coercion, such as military action or economic sanctions, to achieve a desired outcome. It is often associated with traditional methods of exerting influence. Soft power, on the other hand, involves shaping preferences and values through non-coercive means, such as diplomacy, cultural exports, or the appeal of ideologies. Smart power combines both hard and soft power, strategically applying each to achieve desired objectives in a rapidly changing world. 
  The Decahedron Model is introduced as a comprehensive framework for analyzing global influence. This model identifies ten pillars of power that work together to create a complex web of interconnected global forces. These pillars include political, economic, military, technological, media, cultural, environmental, psychological, strategic, and financial influence. The Decahedron’s unique approach emphasizes that these pillars do not operate in isolation; rather, they interact and reinforce one another, creating a dynamic system where shifts in one pillar can lead to ripple effects throughout the entire global system.
