Primitive Athens as described by Thucydides

Jane Ellen Harrison

Sinopsis

The traveller who visits Athens for the first time will naturally, if he be a classical scholar, devote himself at the outset to the realization of the city of Perikles. His task will here be beset by no serious difficulties. The Acropolis, as Perikles left it, is, both from literary and monumental evidence, adequately known to us. Archaeological investigation has now but little to add to the familiar picture, and that little in matters of quite subordinate detail. The Parthenon, the Propylaea, the temple of Nike Apteros, the Erechtheion (this last probably planned, though certainly not executed by Perikles) still remain to us; their ground-plans and their restorations are for the most part architectural certainties. Moreover, even outside the Acropolis, the situation and limits of the city of Perikles are fairly well ascertained. The Acropolis itself was, we know, a fortified sanctuary within a larger walled city.

The Iraq Wars - A Very Short...

Samuel Helfont

American wars in Iraq were a defining feature of global politics for almost thirty years. The Gulf War of 1991, the American invasion of Iraq in 2003, and the campaign against the Islamic State beginning in 2014 each had their own logic. Each occurrence was a distinct conflict; however they must not only be considered in isolation. The United States spent the 1990s trying but failing to implement the Gulf War's cease fire agreement. After the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, American leaders decided to settle the open-ended aftermath of the Gulf War by launching the Iraq War of 2003. The Iraq War unleashed resistance, civil war, insurgency and eventually the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. Thus, following the Gulf War, each war was fought to finish the previous conflict. The Iraq Wars, therefore, are perhaps best understood as a chain of events.Academics, journalists, statesmen, and soldiers have produced many library shelves of books on the Iraq Wars. Yet, no short, easily digestible volume exists to synthesize this vast literature of both English and Arabic sources. The Iraq Wars: A Very Short Introduction covers this series of important conflicts as a whole, in a highly succinct and uniquely listenable way.

D-Day: The Twenty-Four Hours...

Ibnul Jaif Farabi

The clock strikes midnight over the English Channel. In the darkness, thousands of young men board aircraft and landing craft, their hearts pounding with a mix of raw terror and fierce resolve. This is the eve of the greatest amphibious assault in history, a desperate gamble where the fate of the free world hangs in the balance. For the next twenty-four hours, nothing will go according to plan, and ordinary soldiers will be forced to make decisions that will echo through the ages.
Drawing upon a monumental archive of firsthand testimonies, historian and narrator Ibnul Jaif Farabi reconstructs the D-Day invasion in unprecedented, immersive detail. This is the complete story, told from the command bunkers of Supreme Headquarters to the flooded fields where paratroopers landed alone, from the gun decks of battleships to the bullet-swept sands of Omaha Beach. It captures the strategic dilemmas, the catastrophic misunderstandings, and the breathtaking ingenuity displayed by Allied and German forces alike.
Listeners will experience the invasion through the ears of those who lived it. You will feel the visceral chaos of the landing craft ramps dropping, the deafening roar of naval bombardment, and the eerie silence of the French countryside at dawn. This narrative delivers a profound understanding of the battle's complexity, the sheer scale of the operation, and the human cost of liberation, separating enduring myth from gritty, documented reality.
Prepare to embark on a definitive auditory journey into the heart of the Normandy invasion, a masterful chronicle of courage, sacrifice, and the pivotal day that forged the modern world.

Adventure An - A true story...

Tony Walker

On 10th August 1901, two English women walked into the past. This is a documented true story that was extensively researched by the women who experienced this timeslip. 
During a visit to the Palace of Versailles, on the anniversary of the French Revolution, two ordinary women saw the French Queen, Marie Antoinette, sitting in the gardens in front of them, along with nobles, gardeners, houses, bridges and stones that when they went back, were no longer there. 
Backed up by a decade of research, the two women decided to publish their extraordinary adventure in 1910. Their timeslip experience has become known as the Ghosts of the Petit Trianon. 
Did these two Edwardian women actually experience time travel, or did they see the ghosts of things that had been? 
Previously, out of print, this is a new edition, edited and translated for the modern age, with additional material that looks at subsequent timeslip type experiences at Versailles.

Seize the City Undo the State -...

Serhiy Kudelia

How do separatist conflicts arise and spread? When does separatism become a cover for a foreign aggression? How do local communities respond when state institutions collapse, and militants take over? The armed conflict in Eastern Ukraine, which started eight years before Russia's full-scale invasion, contains unique evidence to address each of these questions.In Seize the City, Undo the State, Serhiy Kudelia offers an authoritative study of the conflict at its initial stage—2013-14—based on a meticulous comparison of mobilization dynamics in over dozen towns of Donbas as well as in two major cities outside of it: Kharkiv and Odesa. Kudelia explains how a small group of Russian agents and local militants succeeded in eliminating state control over the largest and most densely urbanized region of Ukraine but failed to do it elsewhere. His findings also show that when enough members of local communities organized to resist militant takeovers, the separatist challenges there quickly dissipated.A fine-grained and highly original on-the-ground analysis of the origins of the wider Russian-Ukrainian war that broke out in 2022, this book offers broader insights into the conditions under which external intervention may trigger the rise of an armed insurgency in a society torn apart by political and ideological disagreements.
