  Byzantium: The History of the...

  Byzantium may have reached its zenith during the Middle Ages as Constantinople, but it had previously stood out among Greek and other ancient cities for its wealth, size, and strategic location. It is probable that given the location, if the Megarans had not founded their city where they did, another Greek polis would have. It is equally probable that any city in that area would have enjoyed success from the wealth generated from its involvement in the key two-way trade between the Greek states and their numerous colonies around the Black Sea and the increasing general east-west trade between the Roman Empire and the exotic lands to the east.  
  Byzantium’s position as guardian of the Bosphorus gave it advantages that stood the city in good stead for thousands of years and consolidated the city as an intercontinental and international trading hub. Inevitably, such a vibrant international center produced many creative thinkers, and Byzantium was the birthplace or home to such figures as Homerus, a tragedian who lived in the early 3rd century BCE. Another overlooked figure was Philo, an engineer who lived from 280-220 BCE and is known as Philo Mechanicus. Although he was primarily an engineer, he was also a physicist and writer on mechanics. His most important work was the huge Syntaxis, which contained sections on general mathematics, mechanics, harbor construction, siege engine construction, pneumatics, mechanical toys, and coding for military use. The military sections Belopoeica and Poliorcetica survived, and they detailed how to build missiles, construct fortresses, and how to properly provision an army.

  Surviving Three Shermans - With...

  In 1943, eighteen-year-old Walter Stitt enlisted in the US Army, ready to serve his country. From his time in basic training at Fort Polk in Louisiana, throughout his time as a tank gunner in the 33rd Armored Regiment, to his post-injury service in England, he wrote home to the family he had left at home. 
   
   
   
  Unbeknown to him, his mother carefully numbered and saved the letters, treasuring them until her death. This book brings together the very different two versions of Walter's war: the version that a teenage soldier could reveal to his parents and younger siblings without scaring them or invoking the censor's pen, and the full and often terrifying details of serving as a tank loader and gunner in France, Belgium, and Germany, remembered so clearly eighty years later. Walter explains the forced omissions and partial truths his teenage self offered to comfort his family while he survived the destruction of three Sherman tanks, the death of three crew members, and two wounds. 
   
   
   
  Coming from West Virginia, Walter's Appalachian roots and values are apparent through the memories he held dear as a soldier and the values he clung to while fighting in one of the darkest periods of human history. His memoir recounts his experiences of serving during World War II while honoring those who served and made the ultimate sacrifice.

  The Cuban Missile Crisis - Brink...

  The Cuban Missile Crisis, one of the most critical moments in the Cold War, did not emerge in isolation but was the culmination of a decades-long geopolitical struggle between the United States and the Soviet Union. The context of this crisis lies deeply within the broader Cold War, which began shortly after the end of World War II. This period was marked by intense ideological rivalry, military standoffs, and a nuclear arms race that would define much of the second half of the 20th century. 
  The origins of the Cold War can be traced back to the conflicting political and economic ideologies of the two superpowers. The United States, championing capitalism and democracy, viewed the spread of communism, led by the Soviet Union, as a direct threat to global stability and democratic values. On the other hand, the Soviet Union, under the leadership of Joseph Stalin, sought to expand the reach of communism and solidify its control over Eastern Europe, which had been acquired as a result of the war. This division between the capitalist West and the communist East created a tense geopolitical environment that shaped every diplomatic interaction between the two powers. 
  In the early stages of the Cold War, several key events served to heighten the distrust between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. The Berlin Blockade in 1948, the Korean War in the early 1950s, and the formation of opposing military alliances like NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) and the Warsaw Pact solidified the division of the world into two hostile camps. As both nations escalated their military capabilities, the nuclear arms race emerged as a central aspect of Cold War tensions. The development and stockpiling of nuclear weapons made the Cold War not just an ideological battle but also a dangerous game of survival, with the constant threat of global annihilation hanging over every political and military maneuver.

  The Shortest History of Migration

  *Released early for the UK election.*
  
  From our earliest wanderings to the rise of the digital nomad, here is the story of human migration.
  
  For hundreds of thousands of years, the ability of Homo sapiens to travel across vast distances and adapt to new environments has been key to our survival as a species. Yet this deep migratory impulse is being tested as never before. By building ever stronger walls and raising barriers to progress, governments are harming the lives of migrants and threatening the future well-being of our societies.
  
  In The Shortest History of Migration, a visionary thinker tells a story of the movement of peoples that spans every age and continent and goes to the heart of what makes us human. Drawn from ancient records and the latest genetic research, it recounts strange, terrible and uplifting tales of migrants past and present, examining the legacies of empire, slavery and war.
  
  Finally, Goldin turns his attention to today's world, bringing together the evidence of history with the most recent data to suggest how we might create a more humane future -- one that allows us to reap the tremendous benefits that migration can offer.
