Summary

"Hittite Diplomacy" explores the sophisticated diplomatic practices of the Hittite Empire in the ancient Near East, revealing how this Bronze Age kingdom rose to prominence through strategic negotiation and alliance-building. The book highlights the critical role of treaties in establishing vassal states and regulating international relations. It also examines how the Hittites skillfully managed conflicts using both military strength and diplomatic maneuvering, essential for their survival in a turbulent world. The book demonstrates that the Hittites developed an advanced diplomatic system that profoundly impacted the political structures of the ancient world. For instance, the famous Treaty of Kadesh with Egypt exemplifies their approach to resolving conflicts through negotiation rather than solely through warfare.

 
Organized into three parts, the book first introduces the principles of Hittite diplomacy, then examines case studies of Hittite interactions with major powers, and finally synthesizes these cases to provide a comprehensive overview of Hittite foreign policy. This approach offers a fresh perspective on Hittite diplomacy, emphasizing proactive strategies designed to shape the international environment.

    James Riley, author of the cult hit The Bad Trip: Dark Omens, New Worlds and the End of the Sixties, returns with another incisive and thought-provoking cultural history, turning his trenchant eye to the wellness industry that emerged in the 1970s.

Concepts such as wellness and self-care may feel like distinctly twenty-first century ideas, but they first gained traction as part of the New Age health movements that began to flourish in the wake of the 1960s. Riley dives into this strange and hypnotic world of panoramic coastal retreats and darkened floatation tanks, blending a page-turning narrative with illuminating explorations of the era's music, film, art and literature.
Well Beings delves deep into the mind of the seventies - its popular culture, its radical philosophies, its approach to health and its sense of social crisis. It tells the story of what was sought, what was found and how these explorations helped the 'Me Decade' find itself. In so doing, it questions what good health means today and reveals what the seventies can teach us about the strange art of being well.

    The author of Battle for Paris 1815 examines the uniforms and equipment of the infantry of Napoleon’s Imperial Guard.   From its origins as the Consular Guard of the French Republic, and as Napoleon’s personal bodyguard, the Imperial Guard developed into a force of all arms numbering almost 100,000 men. Used by Napoleon as his principal tactical reserve, the Guard was engaged only sparingly, being deployed at the crucial moment of battle to turn the tide of victory in favor of the Emperor of the French.   Naturally, the Imperial Guard has been the subject of numerous books over many decades, yet there has never been a publication that has investigated the uniforms and equipment of the infantry of the Imperial Guard with such detail and precision. The author has collected copies of almost all the surviving documents relating to the Guard, which includes a vast amount of material regarding the issuing of dress items, in some instances down to company level.   This information is supported by an unrivaled collection of illustrations, many of which have never been published before, as well as images of original items of equipment held in museums and private collections across the globe. In addition, the renowned military artist, Keith Rocco, has produced a series of unique paintings commissioned exclusively for this book.   This glorious book is, and will remain, unsurpassed as the standard work on the clothing and equipment of the Imperial Guard, and will not only be invaluable to historians, but also reenactors, wargamers and modelers. It is one of the most important publications ever produced on this most famous of military formations.

    The Tin Ringis a moving memoir of love, loss and hope. This new edition has been published in celebration of Zdenka's 100th birthday.
Zdenka's peaceful life was changed forever when she was sent to Terezin concentration camp. Here, she was given a humble engraved tin ring by her first love Arno. She survived six concentration camps, endured horrors the like of which most of us can't begin to comprehend, yet never lost the will to live.
When Arno gave her the ring he said, 'That's for our engagement. And, to keep you safe. If we are both alive when the war ends I will find you.'The ring was the symbol of his love – a tin ring – that gave her the hope to endure unimaginable suffering and survive in the belief that they would one day be re-united.
Zdenka protected this little tin ring with her life and with astonishing determination. Never falling into destructive self-pity, her compassion for other people, her sense of humour and the ability to take remarkable risks, are just part of Zdenka's indomitable spirit.
Zdenka survived six concentration camps including Auschwitz, Gross Rosen, Mauthausen and Belsen – the worst of all. In the last chaotic days of the war in Belsen she crawled to a Red Cross post. There she was saved by an unknown British soldier to whom the book is dedicated.
