Summary

"Carthage Naval Structure" explores how Carthage, initially a Phoenician trading post, evolved into a dominant maritime power challenging Rome. The book examines the strategic pillars supporting Carthaginian naval supremacy: shipbuilding innovation, port infrastructure, and regional control. It reveals how Carthage systematically developed its naval capabilities through technological advancement and logistical preparedness, enabling it to maintain maritime trade networks and project power across the ancient Mediterranean.

 
The study of Carthaginian quinqueremes, for example, shows the scale of their shipbuilding. The book progresses from Carthage's maritime origins through detailed analyses of its shipbuilding techniques, strategic port designs like the double harbor of Carthage, and the application of its naval power in securing regional dominance.

 
Drawing from archaeological evidence and historical accounts, the book challenges simplistic views of Carthaginian military history by offering a nuanced perspective on their naval dominance. By examining these interconnected elements, the book offers a holistic understanding of Carthaginian seapower and its lasting impact on the Mediterranean world.

    Independent study programs aren't for the "best" students; they are populated by students at their best. 
 
 
 
Student disengagement from school is a trending concern, and many schools have turned their attention to independent study programs as a way to nurture student motivation and creativity. But where to begin? 
 
 
 
Geraldine Woods offers a practical, step-by-step guide based on her experience designing and directing the much-admired independent study program at the Horace Mann School. Under the supervision of teachers, students embark on a remarkable variety of projects and become teachers themselves, conducting seminars with their peers along the way to preparing their final product—which could as easily be an interactive website or musical composition as a research paper. Woods's book details the nuts and bolts of the approach and shows how to customize it for a variety of age groups, budgets, and curricular requirements. It is a gift to all educators—including homeschooling parents—who want to give students the freedom to pursue their interests.

    A bold, unique look into the global self-managed abortion movement 
 
Abortion pills have made safe abortion possible for millions of people around the world, even in the most restrictive circumstances. Sydney Calkin illustrates the profound, transformative promise of these pills—which are safe, effective, and responsible for a sharp decline in maternal mortality. This timely book demonstrates that the widespread practice of self-managed medication abortion makes it more difficult for countries to enforce oppressive abortion laws and less willing to do so. 
 
Following these pills as they are manufactured and transported by feminist activists in nations from India to Ireland, Northern Ireland, Poland, and the United States, Calkin shows that their growing availability in places with restrictive laws means more people have access to self-managed healthcare. Abortion Pills Go Global looks ahead to see how the broader politics of abortion could shift in response to this global movement—one that looks not to laws for protection but to on-the-ground feminist mobilizations across borders.

    The Last Wilderness

    Murray Morgan's classic history of the Olympic Peninsula, originally published in 1955, evokes a remote American wilderness "as large as the state of Massachusetts, more rugged than the Rockies, its lowlands blanketed by a cool jungle of fir and pine and cedar, its peaks bearing hundreds of miles of living ice that gave rise to swift rivers alive with giant salmon." 
 
 
 
Drawing on historical research and personal tales collected from docks, forest trails, and waterways, Morgan recounts vivid adventures of the area's settlers—loggers, hunters, prospectors, homesteaders, utopianists, murderers, profit-seekers, conservationists, Wobblies, and bureaucrats—alongside stories of coastal first peoples and striking descriptions of the peninsula's wildlife and land. 
 
 
 
Freshly redesigned and with a new introduction by poet and environmentalist Tim McNulty, this humor-filled saga and landmark love story of one of the most formidably beautiful regions of the Pacific Northwest will inform and engage a new generation of listeners.
