Synopsis

Nubian Pyramid Stories unveils the fascinating history of the pyramids of Sudan, built by the Kingdom of Kush, a civilization that rivaled ancient Egypt. This book challenges the conventional focus on Egyptian pyramids by highlighting the unique architectural and cultural achievements of the Kushites. Unlike the widely recognized Egyptian pyramids, Nubian pyramids are more numerous and possess distinct design elements reflecting indigenous Kushite traditions. The book explores the Kingdom of Kush, from its early foundations in Kerma to its later centers at Napata and Meroe, and its complex relationship with Egypt, including both conflict and shared rule. It presents evidence from archaeological reports and historical texts to argue that Nubian pyramids are not mere imitations but a unique expression of Kushite culture and innovation. Readers will gain insight into why Nubian history and archaeology have been relatively overlooked.

 
Organized into four parts, the book progresses from the geographical and historical context of Nubia to the construction and symbolism of its pyramids, comparing them with Egyptian examples. It then examines archaeological discoveries supporting Kushite originality and concludes by exploring the legacy of these pyramids and ongoing preservation efforts. This approach offers a fresh perspective on African history and cultural identity.

    An indispensable guide to understanding modern warfare, especially the decisions made by politicians and generals?both good and bad. 
     
    Has any war in history gone according to plan? Monarchs, dictators and elected leaders alike have a dismal record on military decision-making, from over-ambitious goals to disregarding intelligence, terrain, or enemy capabilities. This not only wastes the lives of civilians, the enemy and one’s own soldiers, but also fails to achieve geopolitical objectives, and usually lays the seeds for more wars down the line. 
     
    Conflict scholar and former soldier Mike Martin takes the reader through the hard, elegant logic to fighting a conclusive interstate war that solves geopolitical problems, and reduces future conflict. In cool and precise prose, he outlines how to orchestrate military forces, from infantry to information, and from strategy to tactics. 
     
    How to Fight a War explains the unavoidable, yet seemingly elusive, art of using violence to force your enemies to do what you want. It should be read by everyone seeking to understand today’s wars, as well as those wishing to lead us through the coming decades of conflict.

    What does it mean to be cosmopolitan? Typically, cosmopolitanism is understood as a broad moral orientation, involving some kind of commitment to global moral equality. On this understanding, to be cosmopolitan is simply to evidence that moral orientation oneself. By contrast, Being Cosmopolitan takes up a thoroughly political approach. The focus is on what it might mean, and what it is like, to be political in a distinctly cosmopolitan form. What it means to be cosmopolitan in this thoroughly political sense cannot involve appeal to any particular moral orientation, because politics is about, inter alia, the contestation of such orientations and commitments. Instead, this book offers an account that is based upon the internalization of particular kind of global "social imaginary," involving the imagination of a global public to which certain issues—or global public affairs—are understood to pertain. 
     
     
     
    Within which kind of global order is it possible, or comfortable, for a cosmopolitical agent to live? In answer to this question, the book argues against the viability of both a world of self-determining peoples, and of "pluralist" global visions—both of which are popular with moral cosmopolitan theorists.
