Sinossi

Spices Traveled explores the fascinating history of spices and their profound impact on global exploration, economic systems, and cultural evolution. The book reveals how the pursuit of spices like cinnamon and cloves wasn't just about enhancing flavor; it was a driving force behind the establishment of global trade routes and the rise of colonial empires. Readers will discover how spices, often worth more than gold, shaped early maritime exploration and spurred intense competition among European powers, forever altering the course of world history.

 
The book begins by introducing essential spices and their origins, then progresses to examine the rise of the spice trade in both the East and West. Analyzing how European powers gained dominance, it covers the Age of Exploration and the establishment of colonial empires. By examining archival documents, trade records, and culinary texts, Spices Traveled presents a comprehensive view of how the spice trade fueled cultural exchange and culinary innovation, leaving an indelible mark on our interconnected world.

    How much do you know about the lives of bisexual men who are married to women? Bisexual people make up a majority of the LGBT+ community, but they are still relatively hidden and misunderstood. Robert Brooks Cohen aims to address this invisibility by sharing a collection of interviews with Bi+ men who are or were married to women, helping listeners find connection, understanding, and community. 
     
     
     
    Their experience is often erased as "not queer enough," but these men are queer, and they are challenging societal norms in important and innovative ways. Written by the host of Two Bi Guys, this book intersperses Robert's bisexual journey with the diverse stories of other Bi+ men to help normalize sexual fluidity and create more awareness and compassion. This book shares interviews with men and a few of their wives from a wide array of cultural and regional backgrounds, religious family structures, and more, helping bisexual men find pride, validation, and joy in their sexual identity. 
     
     
     
    This book is written about and for bisexual and questioning men so they can see their experience represented. However, it is also for their partners, family, and friends—as well as students, researchers, clinicians with bisexual clients, and allies—so that they can better understand the unique challenges of this identity and provide meaningful support.

    This is a compilation of 2 different titles, which are about the following topics: 
    1: The Cathars were different from the mainstream Catholic church in the 13th century. They openly rebelled against some of the hypocritical behavior by priests and leaders, and they established their own deviant beliefs according to the best ability of their conscience. 
    But when it all came down to it, what did this mean? What were those belief systems? How did they look at God, Satan, the purpose of life, or equality between the sexes, sexuality itself, or any other principle they embraced? What did they think of the crusades in the Middle East? And how did it all end for them? 
    Learn more about the Cathars, a community that made a significant impact during a time of dictatorships, massacres, and persecution of supposed heretics. 
    2: Horatio Nelson can be seen as one of the most courageous, strategic, valiant British generals in history. His tactics in the navy have led their empire to glorious victories in the 18th and beginning of the 19th century. During the wars against Napoleon, the Scandinavians, and in the West Indies, he was an exemplary leader, strategists, and combatant. The British Empire stretched all the way from the Caribbean to Egypt and beyond. Needless to say, much help was needed in various areas in the world. 
    Learn more about this brave warrior, someone who fit exactly into that time frame to keep their empire afloat, through their navy ships, their battles, and their victories.

    In the warm predawn darkness of June 22, 1941, 3 million men waited along a front hundreds of miles long, stretching from the Baltic coast of Poland to the Balkans. Ahead of them in the darkness lay the Soviet Union, its border guarded by millions of Red Army troops echeloned deep throughout the huge spaces of Russia. This massive gathering of Wehrmacht soldiers from Adolf Hitler's Third Reich and his allied states – notably Hungary and Romania – stood poised to carry out Operation Barbarossa, Hitler's surprise attack against the country of his putative ally, Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin.  
    	Though Germany was technically Russia’s ally, Stalin had no delusions that they were friends. Instead, he used this time to build up his forces for what he saw as an inevitable invasion. First, on the heels of the German invasion of Poland in September 1939, Stalin had his troops invade and reclaim the land Russia had lost in World War I. Next he turned his attention to Finland, which was only 100 miles from the newly named Leningrad.  He initially tried to negotiate with the Finnish government for some sort of treaty of mutual support. When this failed he simply invaded. While the giant Russian army ultimately won, the fact that little Finland held them off for three months demonstrated how poorly organized the bigger force was. 
    What Stalin did not realize was that Hitler had simply overstretched himself in Yugoslavia and only planned to delay the invasion by a few weeks.  The Soviets were so caught by surprise at the start of the attack that the Germans were able to push several hundred miles into Russia across a front that stretched dozens of miles long, reaching the major cities of Leningrad and Sevastopol in just three months.
