Wanderings in North Africa

James Hamilton

Sinopsis

A few words of preface concerning a country so little known as that in which these pages were written may, perhaps, be useful to the reader. For the sake of those who may be interested in its past history or present condition, I shall indicate the sources which will supply further information.
Cyrenaica, or, as it was called under the Ptolemys, Pentapolis, is situated on the northern coast of Africa, between Carthage and Egypt. In its commercial importance it once almost rivalled the former, and in the fertility of its soil, the latter. Its early political vicissitudes are little known in detail, nearly all the works which were specially dedicated to its history having disappeared in the wreck of ages, among which the most to be regretted is the Book on the Republic of Cyrene, which Aristotle inserted in his Politics.

Eothen - Traces of Travels...

Alexander Kinglake

One of the most witty and idiosyncratic travel books, Eothen started out as a few notes scribbled on the back of a map for a friend, but took Kinglake seven years of painstaking work to finesse. The physical details of the journey, undertaken in 1834 through Turkey, Cyprus, the Holy Land, Cairo and Damascus, are barely mentioned. The infectious charm lies in the conversations, the whimsical chance encounters and the attitudes of the author. Over the years, Kinglake has been recognised as a stylist without equal.

Latin American Development -...

Anya Solace

Latin American Development offers a sweeping, multi-country perspective on the forces shaping growth, prosperity, and crisis across the region. This 5-in-1 collection dives into the economic trajectories of El Salvador, Colombia, Brazil, and Venezuela, highlighting how political decisions, social movements, and external pressures have molded each nation’s path. Whether examining rapid development or dramatic decline, the book sheds light on both shared patterns and unique challenges. 
In El Salvador, we explore the post-conflict economy and its reliance on remittances, exports, and dollarization. Colombia’s chapters focus on two lenses: its long-term economic history and more recent transformation toward stability and global integration. Brazil’s rise and fall showcases how major industries once symbolized growth, only to falter amid corruption and policy missteps. Finally, Venezuela’s boom and bust narrative reveals how oil wealth led to short-term prosperity followed by severe collapse, hyperinflation, and social unrest. 
This volume is perfect for readers seeking to understand how Latin America’s economic landscapes have been built—and broken—by power, policy, and persistence.
