Sinopse

Weirdest World Borders explores the fascinating and often bizarre world of international boundaries, revealing how history, politics, and even geographical quirks have shaped the lines on our maps. It's more than just geography; it's a journey through the stories that explain how unusual frontiers came to be.

 
For instance, many borders were drawn without considering existing ethnic or tribal distributions, a direct consequence of colonialism. Also, treaties and wars have significantly impacted border creation, leading to many odd situations we see today.

 
The book examines key aspects of border creation and maintenance, such as the legacy of colonialism, the impact of treaties and wars, and the everyday lives of people living in these regions. Understanding these topics is crucial for grasping the complexities of international relations and the human consequences of boundary-making.

 
It progresses by first presenting peculiar examples, then delving into case studies grouped thematically, like colonial partitions in Africa and Asia, or European borders shaped by conflict. It offers a unique perspective by combining rigorous historical research with accessible storytelling, making it valuable to anyone interested in world history, travel, and the forces that shape our world.

    Agreeing to Disagree - How the...

    The Establishment Clause of the First Amendment, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion", may be the most contentious and misunderstood provision of the entire United States Constitution. What exactly is an "establishment of religion"? And what is a law "respecting" it? 
     
     
     
    Many commentators reduce the clause to "the separation of church and state." This implies that church and state are at odds, that the public sphere must be secular, and that the Establishment Clause is in tension with the Free Exercise of Religion Clause. All of these implications misconstrue the Establishment Clause's original purpose. The clause facilitates religious diversity and guarantees equality of religious freedom by prohibiting the government from coercing or inducing citizens to change their religious beliefs and practices. 
     
     
     
    In Agreeing to Disagree, Nathan S. Chapman and Michael W. McConnell detail the theological, political, and philosophical underpinnings of the Establishment Clause, state disestablishment, and the disestablishment norms applied to the states by the Fourteenth Amendment. In one of the most thorough accounts of the Establishment Clause, Chapman and McConnell argue that the clause is best understood as a constitutional commitment for Americans to agree to disagree about matters of faith.

    Ancient America - in Notes on...

    First published in 1871, Ancient America delivers the earliest comprehensive English‑language survey of North America’s prehistoric past. Baldwin synthesizes scattered accounts—from the fluted‑point hunters of the Paleo‑Indian era to the monumental earthworks of the Mississippi‑Valley “Mound Builders,” and onward to the pyramidal cities of Mexico and Central America—into a single, lucid narrative. Rejecting then‑common Eurocentric myths, he argues that these civilizations were “wholly original, wholly American,” products of indigenous innovation rather than Old‑World transplantations. Richly illustrated with plates and informed by Baldwin’s correspondence with leading thinkers of his day, this seminal work frames American antiquities within a global archaeological context and remains a cornerstone for understanding the continent’s ancient ingenuity.
