Synopsis

Roman Collapse explores the complex reasons behind the fall of the Roman Empire, moving beyond simple explanations to offer a nuanced view of this pivotal moment in World History. The book emphasizes the interconnectedness of economic struggles, barbarian invasions, and political instability as key factors in the Roman decline. For example, the empire's reliance on slave labor created vulnerabilities in its agricultural system, while constant migration strained resources and military capabilities. This book challenges traditional narratives by presenting a holistic picture of how these elements gradually eroded the empire's foundations, moving beyond the idea of a single cause.

 
The book begins with a background on the Roman Empire at its height before delving into the internal weaknesses and external pressures that led to its demise. Examining economic decline, political turmoil, and barbarian migrations, the book uses archaeological evidence, legal codes, and contemporary accounts to provide a comprehensive analysis.

 
The book concludes by assessing the long-term consequences of the Roman collapse on the development of Europe, highlighting the rise of new kingdoms and the transformation of social structures. By understanding the interplay of these forces, readers gain valuable insights into the dynamics that can cause even the most powerful empires to crumble.

The Norman Sicily - A Crossroads...

Harris Ropes

The Norman conquest of Sicily was a transformative period that reshaped the island’s political, social, and cultural landscape. The Normans, originally of Viking descent, had settled in northern France and became known for their military prowess and adaptability. By the 11th century, ambitious Norman adventurers turned their attention to southern Italy, seeking wealth and power. Among them, the Hauteville family played a crucial role in the conquest of Sicily, led by Robert Guiscard and his younger brother Roger.
The campaign to seize Sicily from Muslim control began in 1061, as the Normans took advantage of internal divisions among the island’s Muslim rulers. At the time, Sicily was a prosperous and diverse society, ruled by various Arab and Berber factions who had governed the island for over two centuries. Despite their dominance, infighting among the Muslim emirs weakened their hold, providing the Normans with an opportunity to launch a well-planned invasion. Robert Guiscard and Roger initially captured the strategic town of Messina, using it as a foothold for further expansion. Over the next three decades, the Normans steadily advanced across the island, engaging in fierce battles and sieges.
One of the most significant victories came in 1072 when the Normans captured the capital city of Palermo, a major cultural and economic center. Palermo’s fall marked a turning point in the conquest, as it solidified Norman authority in the region. However, complete control of Sicily was not achieved until 1091 when Roger seized Noto, the last stronghold of Muslim resistance. With this final victory, the Normans established their rule over the entire island, bringing an end to Muslim governance while incorporating many aspects of its administrative and cultural systems.

Goblinhood - Goblin as a Mode

Jen Calleja

As formally inventive as readers have come to expect from one of the most daring writers around, and as wild and tricky as its subject matter requires, Goblinhood: Goblin as a Mode  presents us with a series of essays and poems that playfully, artfully propound Jen Calleja's theory of 'goblinhood'——a theory that takes in all aspects of pop culture from film, tv, literature and art as well as the author's personal and original examinations of grief, lust, family histories and the physical fact of living in the world as it is.

Goblinhood  is a perpetually and variously curious, visceral addition to Calleja's remarkable oeuvre.
