  This book explores the heart of Rome’s power—its military machine and the brilliant minds who commanded it. The first section introduces readers to the Roman legions, the backbone of the Republic and Empire. With unmatched discipline, innovative tactics, and superior organization, these forces shaped the ancient world. You’ll learn how the Roman military was structured, how soldiers trained, and what daily life was like in a marching camp. From basic formations to advanced siege techniques, this section unveils the machinery of conquest that forged a global empire. 
  The second section profiles Rome’s greatest military leaders, from Scipio Africanus and Julius Caesar to Trajan and Constantine. Each general brought unique strategies and personal ambition to the battlefield, expanding Rome’s reach while influencing its political destiny. Their stories highlight decisive battles, tactical innovations, and leadership styles that not only won wars but also inspired loyalty—or sparked civil strife. This segment brings to life the human side of warfare, where courage, cunning, and power struggles played out on both foreign fields and Rome’s own streets. 
  The final part of the book shifts focus to Rome’s many enemies—from Carthaginian generals like Hannibal to the Germanic and Parthian tribes who challenged Rome’s dominance. Readers will explore how Rome adapted to new threats, formed uneasy alliances, and learned from defeat. The book covers both the glory of expansion and the resilience required to hold an empire together. Warfare and Generals is a gripping journey into the brutal, brilliant, and complex world of Roman military history—one that continues to captivate military minds and history lovers alike.

  The Unification of Germany had a significant impact on the whole country, the empire, and the decades after that. It was the inauguration for Germany into the 20th century, and the dreaded World War I and World War II that were partially consequences of that unification. 
  On January 18th, 1871, in the Palace of Versailles in France, Germany was lawfully merged into the German Empire, a Prussia-dominated country state with federal components. Throughout the Franco-Prussian War, princes of German countries assembled there to declare King Wilhelm I of Prussia Emperor of the German Empire. 
  The Treaty of Verdun in 843 developed a confederated kingdom of German princedoms that had existed for over 1,000 years. Even so, till 1800, there was no development of a German country identity, owing to the independent nature of baronial states; most occupants of the Holy Roman Empire, beyond those straight governed by the emperor, determined themselves mainly with their prince, instead of with the Empire as a whole. Kleinstaaterei, or "small-statery," happened called a result of this practice. Improvements in transport and interactions brought these areas closer together by the nineteenth century. 
  Today, you can learn more about what made this unification so special, and how it led to other events in history.

  Policing Gun Violence -...

  In many US cities, gun violence is the most urgent crime problem. High rates of deadly violence make a city less livable, dragging down quality of life, economic development, and property values. 
   
   
   
  How can police departments find the right balance between over- and under-policing of high-violence areas? What are the best practices for police to preempt and deter gun violence, while engendering support and cooperation from the public? 
   
   
   
  Drawing on fifty years of research and practical experience, Policing Gun Violence argues that it is possible for the police to create greater public safety while respecting the rights of individuals and communities. While gun violence can be attributed to various systemic causes, Anthony A. Braga and Philip J. Cook make the case that violence is itself a root cause of social disparity and future violence. Effective law enforcement is a vital component of a just society. They review and synthesize the evidence in several key areas: enforcement of gun laws, policing hot spots, controlling high-risk groups through focused deterrence, enhancing investigations to increase the arrest and conviction rate, preventing officer-involved shootings, and disrupting underground gun markets. Policing Gun Violence serves as a guide to how the police can better utilize their considerable resources to make cities safer.

  Try Not to Be Strange - The...

  On his fifteenth birthday, in the summer of 1880, future science-fiction writer M.P. Shiel sailed with his father and the local bishop from their home in the Caribbean out to the nearby island of Redonda—where, with pomp and circumstance, he was declared the island’s king. A few years later, when Shiel set sail for a new life in London, his father gave him some advice: Try not to be strange. It was almost as if the elder Shiel knew what was coming. 
  Try Not to Be Strange: The Curious History of the Kingdom of Redonda tells, for the first time, the complete history of Redonda’s transformation from an uninhabited, guano-encrusted island into a fantastical and international kingdom of writers. With a cast of characters including forgotten sci-fi novelists, alcoholic poets, vegetarian publishers, Nobel Prize frontrunners, and the bartenders who kept them all lubricated while angling for the throne themselves, Michael Hingston details the friendships, feuds, and fantasies that fueled the creation of one of the oddest and most enduring micronations ever dreamt into being. Part literary history, part travelogue, part quest narrative, this cautionary tale about what happens when bibliomania escapes the shelves and stacks is as charming as it is peculiar—and blurs the line between reality and fantasy so thoroughly that it may never be entirely restored.
